This is a FANTASTIC album! I can't believe I haven't heard of her until now.
This is the second funkiest stuff I've ever heard, second only to the Godfather of Soul himself. Heavy, heavy stuff.

Drop everything and get into Betty Davis. This really is it! This is raw uncut funk like no other.

What amazes is why no one has made a big deal about her in all these years.
This is right up there with James Brown, Sly and P-Funk.

Hopefully new generations will discover this killer talent, who was sadly overlooked by her own generation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for everyone, February 15, 2011

Betty Davis is unique. She is extremely talented using raw emotions and heavy beats to make her points. This music is best taken only sparingly and then in small amounts. Nevertheless, there is something hypnotic about it that keeps drawing you back in. However, under no circumstances would I want her as my woman.
