Red Hot Mama: Bette Davis Interview

Forget the fact that she was Miles Davis’ wife, or that she introduced him to Jimmy Hendrix. And while you’re there, forget the fact that she penned a song for the Chambers Brothers first album at the tender age of 21. And you might as well forget the modelling spreads in Ebony and Glamour magazines No, forget all of that and focus on the one thing that sets her above all the rest, Betty Davis was born to funk.

Here’s a quality interview from the folks at The Sounds of Young America and her first in probably close to 30 years. It’s definitely worth a peep. Plus if you’re feeling froggy make the leap to our friends at Light In the Attic who have done a fine job re-releasing her catalog.
