		Betty Davis (born Betty Mabry, 1945) is an American funk and soul singer.
		It is believed that Hendrix and Betty Davis had an affair that hastened the end of her marriage to Miles Davis, but Hendrix and Miles stayed close and even planned to record until Hendrix's death.

	soul sides: BETTY DAVIS: THEY SAY SHE'S DIFFERENT
		Betty Davis didn’t sing love songs, she sung anti-love songs, but even her whispered warnings about her cruelty and cattiness couldn’t stop you from falling for her.
		Betty Davis was the missing link between Marva Whitney and Parlet, Nina Simone and the Brides of Funkenstein, not to mention the inspiration behind more recent funk fatales like Macy Gray and Kelis.
		Yet, Davis was no raunchy tease – she understood that love and sex formed a blurred line that anyone was in danger of slipping into – including herself.

	BETTY DAVIS / BETTY DAVIS
		Betty was fire, and while Miles welcomed the sparks, he knew better than to stay too close for too long.

		Betty was a powerhouse, pushing her vocal cords to the limit on every performance.
