I’ve been listening to Betty Davis whole life. I hadn’t googled or researched her in a while. A few weeks ago, I was looking for something I did already know. I found that she died 2 days before. I was in my feelings for a while. She she should be more well know than she is/was. R. I. P. Ms. Davis. ❤️✌🏾😷🙏🏾❤️

Pure , wild , authentic , a genius ! Betty Davis THE ARTIST !

[@colorblindfred]

And what a band.

[@michaelcarter9117]

For sure Betty was well ahead of her time. Her place in history should be more etched in stone.

[@saiyanleague653]

It is tho, changing the world isn't a popularity contest, she doesn't have to be Prince or Jimi Hendrix to make a mark. She did in the millions of "unmainstreamed" hearts she's touched. You escape mortality through the work you do on earth, she already changed life's. This song came out in the 70's and it is has over 200k views in 2018. Enough said

[@blossomhicks9121]

See I lived this time she inspired me at 60 years young go freak she was in is Miss understood and you still don't get you never been there.

July 26, 1945 - February 9, 2022. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us, Betty. A true pioneer light years ahead of your time. We weren't worthy. Rest in peace, dear soul. Fly on... 💜

[@blackamericanlesbianprofes4357]

I love Funk music! I am just learning of the late Betty Davis. I love her style so far as I am listening to music by her. Rest in Power Betty Davis. Date Stamp: 10feb22

[@mbrntly11]

This Groove is just so Hard, Betty and the band bring It!

[@jleg9991]

Why I never heard of this lady. I can not think of a female artist black or white that has not perpetrated her style. Rihanna, Madonna, Beyoncé, lil kim, Chaka khan, Mile Davis... 😂 the entire female rock n roll franchise. I feel lied too all of my life.

[@massapower]

[@flomarp439]

The only

[@ksuefox45]

@carnalitajones why is it that an artist that is not white, is described as the "Black of the white... whatever”??? When I 1st heard Betty Davis I had N E V E R heard anyone say the things she was saying or sing the way she did; it spoke to my heart it was how I felt at the time... I was 17 years old and in the 1970’s NO ONE ever had the nerve to say the things she was saying and in the way she sung it!!! No, she is not the ‘Black of the white’ anybody she is Betty Davis the one and only!

[@FordyHunt]

Well there is no white Betty Davis that's for sure 😄

[@emperorofpluto]

A legend. Pure talent. Simply awesome.

[@Apollo_Blaze]

The Godmother of Funk

[@MrGeedog1968]

[@tamikashanea]

I was trying to look up Bette Davis and Betty Davis popped up. I sed "what?" I hit ▶️ and sed "WHAT?!!?" Damn, why've I never heard this? My sister listened to funk in the late 70s.... nothing. Wow. Then I see she passed just a couple months ago...wtf? 🤕 damaged.

[@keisongz]

People say That Betty Davis with all due respect Was ahead of her time what are they talking about Musically or because she was one of the first provocative artist who happen to be a female of that era please someone answer this question for me

[@DrScorpio313]

[@gulbalagulba23]

molto oookkk!!!

[@thefunkiestfunk2220]

Too Funky!!!

[@shadowheart52]

They should make a movie about her with Beyoncé in the starring role. That's one way of giving her the attention she so richly deserves.

[@terenceboris851]

fuck Beyoncé

[@fedoramcclaren4294]

shadowheart52 I mean not to disagree with your comment, but the only person, hands down that is deserving of portraying of such an artist such as Betty Mabry Davis is Joi Gilliam...Joi posesses a similar sensual, sexually free artistic nature...I cannot think of any other modern artist who can mirror Betty...

[@sunesisyork3491]

no the fuck they should not

[@fedoramcclaren4294]

Sunesis York heh heh...

[@brandenwilson709]
