Betty Davis, the Queen hellion of Funk, with
her 1975 manifesto. Crank it up! Betty
exposed husband Miles to Jimi and Sly,
inspiring "Bitches Brew" and Fusion. Her
unbridled FunkRock and sexual power paved the
way for Madonna, Joi, Peaches and scores
more. She is crucial to the history of
Rock'n'Soul.

FREAKIN' WITH THE FUNK QUEEN!
Here's our hellion in a tribute to fashion
and exercise. Some thought the song referred
to ex-husband Miles, others say it's about
Jimi. In truth it's pretty much about
everybody. So put the free in freak, baby!

Betty Davis is the Grande Domme of Funk. She
inspired husband Miles into reinventing Jazz
and himself in '69. She combined the sounds
of her friends Sly and Jimi to make intense
FunkRock albums of her own. Her fierce sexual
persona and aggro voice scared the record
industry in the mid-70's. In doing so, she
paved the way for such rebels as the Slits,
Grace Jones, Nina Hagen, Madonna, Annie
Lennox, Diamanda Galas, Boss Hogg, Joi
(Gilliam), Nikka Costa, and Peaches. This is
the title track from her 1975 masterpiece.
Obviously Prince heard it, which inspired him
to turn it into "Nasty Girl" by Vanity 6 in
1982. Learn more about this great lady and
tell your friends.

Lights out with Queen of Funk!
Betty goes at it full-throttle in this
scorcher. She leaves it to interpretation but
here's a few sketches of possibilities.
If the 60's was the Empowerment decade -from
King to X to Che to Chavez to the
Counterculture- then the 70's was the
Liberation decade. There were so many issues
to address that what we know of as the 60's
really stretches roughly from 1964 to 1975.
The rise of Feminism and the lateral
expression of sensuality were later, crucial
extensions in that period.
Sexism is evil; but Sensuality is essential.
The word "sex" can mean either gender or the
sensual act. Folks who blur the two without
distinction speak to neither well. Gender
inequities are wrongs that should be righted.
Sexuality is a spiritual and physical
pleasure everyone has a right to. The best
lights of Feminism understood this from the
beginning, and do now with examples like Riot
Grrl and Bust and Bitch magazines. Betty
Davis was a progessive sensualist who was
misunderstood and suppressed in her time by
repressives and some confused progressives.
Time has borne out the quality of her work
and the merit of her stance.
"Liberation for all, Everything must be
rethought."

| MERRY CLAYTON- "GIMME SHELTER" (1970) |
 |
Street Fighting Woman!
Merry was the woman dueting with Mick on the
Rolling Stones' original 1969 recording of
"Gimme Shelter". Who better to interpret it
the following year than Merry herself? She's
accompanied on keys by her friend, the
immeasurably important Billy Preston, who was
as much the Sixth Stone as the Fifth Beatle
in these years. The galloping roar of guitar
may be David T. Walker, although the album
credits don't clarify.
She was born on Christmas Day, and what a
gift!
"War, children, is just a shot away/ See the
pious sweeping my very streets today..."
Any resemblence between the events in this
video and the present day is entirely up to
you...
Be sure to send some love to Merry on her
personal MySpace page!:

| ENNIO MORRICONE/ EDDA DELL'ORSO-"Mariangela E La Seduzione |
 |
-From, "IL GATTO" (Italy, 1978)
-"QUI A TUE LE CHAT?" France)
-"THE CAT"
*NOTE: The photo was an error on my part,
confusing "Il Gatto/ The Cat" with "Il Gatto
a Nove Code/ The Cat O'Nine Tails".
A comedy with Ugo Tagnazzi about landlord
siblings conniving to throw out their tenants
for a lucrative condominium deal.
How do you the feelings of seduction when
words fail? Call in Edda Dell'Orso, whose
trademark tones tell you everything you want
to know. And only Ennio could turn a church
pipe organ into a slow-jam saxophone.

 |
-From, "FORZA G" (Italy, 1971)
-"WINGED DEVILS" (USA)
ENNIO MORRICONE/ EDDA DELL'ORSO -"Sospesi Fra
le Nuvole" (1971)
"The lovely soundtrack from Morricone for the
1971 Italian romantic-drama Forza G (AKA G
Force, Winged Devils and Die Todesflieger)
directed by Duccio Tessari."
-moviegrooves.com
Edda gives us a secret audience to coital
bliss in this number, shuddering through
orgasmic moans over the percussive heavy
breathing of her partner. This precedes
"Jungle Fever" by Chakachas, "Let's Get It
On" by Marvin Gaye, and Barry White and Betty
Davis by a couple of years!

| LITTLE SISTER- "STANGA" (1970) |
 |
SLY CD reissues out now! The first seven
albums are remastered, expanded with extra
songs and essays, in deluxe digipaks! Hurry,
before the limited run sells out forever!
SIS & the Family Stone!:
Everybody knows the Family Stone had three
Stewart siblings -Sly, Freddie, and Rose- but
younger sister Vaetta (Vet) had her own group
as well. Vet paired up with Mary Rand and
Elva Melton as Little Sister. They sang
back-up for the Family starting in 1970
before making singles of their own.
Sly's fans know there was a long wait between
the epic "Stand!" album (1969) and the
Funk-defining masterpiece "There's a Riot
Goin' On" (1971). In between were several
dazzling slngles, including a few for Little
Sister. Both their songs, You're the One" and
"Somebody's Watching You", charted in the
R'n'B Top 10 that year. It's probable that
Sly is playing everything on them as well as
writing and producing on his Stone Flower
label. This is the first use of a drum
machine, the famed Rhythm King, on a hit
song. Crucially, these singles previewed the
Riot album's new sound a year early; if that
LP defined the path of modern Funk music,
then these singles were its first steps.
Vet was recently hurt in an auto accident.
She's recovering, but why not send her a
get-well line at this address:

As for our hero, check out Sly's personal
spaces at:

Sly's birthday is March 15th, so wish him
well!
