Nr. 38 – Betty Davis

There are absolutely no clips on YouTube of Betty Davis performing live. Only videos like this one. That’s too bad, especially since I have never seen a live clip of her. The way she sings I imagine it would be pretty interesting. She sings funk music with passion and a fierce attitude. She started off as a model, moving to New York where she met a lot of influential people in the music industry (one of whom she married). Later on she decided to record her own album and with her musical connections, the list of musicians appearing on her self titled album is pretty impressive for a debut. Why is she cool? She sounds cool and looks cool. She’s got to be cool!
