Funk.
You'll know why I give this five stars.
Just relentless dark funk. This is IT.
This overpriced CD half as much music on it as a normal CD.
But I'm a patient man, I refuse to pay so much money for a record. I can pass several times through it in the shop vaults and say NO, and wait until better times come over the records stores of this tiny town. I'm a funk addict, but I can say it.
What gives me strength? This is our culture, man! Can't understand why you USA people, you black people of the most powerful country of the planet, had not force the company to publish it at an affordable price...yet.
My old vinyls had been to so many parties, and I didn't care for them as much as they deserve. And you know, you can get the music some other ways these days too.
Focus comments on the product: There is no other "product" (as far as I know) like this. Here is the lady who broke Miles schemes, showing him the breakthrough way to create the funkiest richest and more addictive music in history (if you like it). In combination with the unique Graham-Enricco machine you can find here things that the great Sly was not able (to our disgrace) to accomplish.
Have the money? Don't hesitate, buy it, you'll dance it, shout it in your car, discover it to your friends.
But it's a pity that this is an obscure piece instead of mainstream, for the kid's sake. They need to know what really swings, boogies, grooves, vamps, shakes bodies and minds. So tell the word.
By the way I'm white, maybe not so proud, but grateful.
Not only was Betty Davis the sexiest woman who ever walked this planet, she released several of the greatest funk albums ever produced. Those who know of her usually just think of her as a model who was married to Miles Davis for a year. But she was much, much more than just a mere footnote in the bio of the greatest jazz musician ever.
First of all, I think it's fair to say that Betty Davis was responsible for the development of jazz fusion. Why? Because when Miles Davis fell under the spell of this woman (and what man wouldn't?), she made it her mission to turn him onto the new funk & soul music that was revolutionizing America. She hipped him up to the new sounds and the new fashions, and Miles responded with a creative burst that cemented his rep as the greatest jazz innovator in history. He combined his jazz with her funk and out came jazz fusion.
Well, the marriage ended, but Betty set out to prove her own musical genius, and she did it with a series of albums that stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the greatest funk albums ever. She enlisted the aid of the best musicians and let the nastiness flow out of her.
This album, like the others, features her snarling, vicious vocals which sound like nothing so much as a wildcat in heat. It is a primal force of sexuality that is unequalled in musical history. Her vocals are sex incarnate. DIrty, raw, sweaty, up-against-the-wall sex. James Brown sounds like s schoolboy in comparison. Marvin Gaye would be intimidated. Chaka Khan would bow down. Wilt Chamberlain would be left exhausted in a heap in the corner.
Buy any Betty Davis you can find. That is an order.
