They don't make em like this anymo!!!!!

What a Gal, and so humble in the interview!!!! She comes across a bit like Zappa did when asked about drugs and how he came to do what they did with their attitudes and Art... interviewers can make it uncomfortable by asking THOSE types of questions and trying to put it in a box and label it, but hey, at least we got an interview!!!! I love Betty, she was the sexxiest fonkiest gal in town... x

Still ahead of her time, original Beyonce from the future, meta-muse in view of another dimension, greatest funk princess ! ! !

Hello Betty, I had the opportunity of being introduced to you by my late and first husband who is now deceased, I believe it was at your mother or brother's home here in Pittsburgh, btw how's your brother Chuck, or Shay I believe that is what my former fondly called him.
May God Bless and Keep !

Everytime you came to Washington DC area, The Howard Theater, The Capital Center, ETC. You always invited me backstage or in the dressing room to share the musician experence. I was 13 or 14 years old at the time but I will never forget how down to earth you were and very very nice. Because of that I am a musician today. I would love to talk with you, and just tell you thanks. You can email me at D906701@verizon.net

I always revisit Betty's music.
I saw her in the village in 1979 performing her 3rd album and it was the show of shows...
That night Richard Pryor came backstage and it was believed he invited her to be on his Television show and I have been looking for the footage ever since.
This interview is cool but you need to get her back and get some real Betty davis questions answered..
Great accomplishment though love it

I am 24-years-old and have never been moved by a singer the way that Betty Davis has moved me. I have all her records on vinyl (yes wax!) and can't stop playing them. It's such a shame that she isn't as revered as she should be. But she is a true musician and artist who was too ahead of her time and too hard to market. SO MANY MUSICIANS have Betty to thank for their style, swagger, musicianship and careers. My children will be required to listen to her discography.

great site vigrx

My God - you found Betty Davis? I was so in love with her in the 70's - and baby was fine as hell - sexy as all get out and could fu**ing JAM
I thingk I have at least three of her Albums- if you guys remember wah those were. FUNK was one of my favorites. She was the inspiration of the Brides of Funkenstein and VanitySix and all the FUNK from the era - sista could play too. HEY BETTY !!! we love ya gal.

PEACE and BLESSINGS

This interview is probably the most important interview in the last decade in musical history.

Betty Davis, in my opinion, is easily one of the most important, and certainly THE most interesting and unique female singer of the 20th century. Ever since the release of her three records, no-one came even close to her.

Almost every one of her songs leaves me in shock and awe. Sometimes i really think i have all possible emotions at once (with the good ones being clearly on top) when listening to her music.

There are maybe hundreds of female singers that i have utmost respect for. Among those, only Betty Davis leaves me speechless. She's to good for my ears and brain.

Given her record sales, she's gotta be to good for the rest of the world, as well.

Thank you so very much for the interview! Finally that darn internet turned out to be good for something!

Thanks for posting this interview. Do you know is there is any existing video footage of Betty performing? I'd love to see that.

wow!

I had never heard of Betty Davis until I listened to this interview. Well done Jesse! She doesnt sound like the easiest person to interview and its hard to believe she is the same person singing those badass songs. I will have to buy her album off Itunes.

great stuff! thank you for sharing. i did a review of "If I'm In Luck" a little while back on my blog. this interview was really well done.

Betty Davis was ahead of her time. She was very popular in Philly and along the east coast and WDAS-FM did play her music. I had the pleasure of seeing her perform twice; once at Morgan State's homecoming. I am soooo happy to have found this interview.Another Nasty Girl.

This is the most moronic (as our knuckleheaded ex-mayor Guliani would put it) out of touch interview I've heard in ages. Do you live under a rock or something? Do you understand what it takes to make the kind of transition Betty went through? -Wrong question, forget it. Tune into your humanity my man! There are soo many more things relevant to the state of america today to ask other than "frivolity". What a missed oportunity.

The interview was fantastic, respectful, and very tasteful. It made my day.Thanks Betty for all the years of inspiration!Bob Gaulke

I can't believe you got an interview with Betty Davis. What an amazing few records she did.Betty - it's never too late to keep going and offer the world some more....never too late...we'd love you to do some more..it would be really fascinating in this day and age. Thank you for letting us know you are still on this planet. Keep funkin Betty!Mike from London x

I enjoyed this interview. I bought this album when I was in college and, stupidly, got rid of it after several years. As I listened to her, and her soft voice, I kept shaking my head. What a difference between her speaking voice and her singing voice

Holy shit! Way to go Betty! God, we love you! Please please bless the world with some more of your music! And Light In The Attic? Please listen, re-issue NASTY GAL and what about the 1979 sessions???

Glad to finally hear Betty speak! She is a true artist and her stuff is unbelieveable. Fascinating to hear her talk and her ideas.Maybe she said some stuff was off-limits, but no mention of Miles? There were really so many more serious topics I would have asked her about. I think perhaps the interviewer was not totally aware of Betty's music because he seemed to be kind of surprised that she was a true, true artist. I sure wish I had interviewed her!
