EP47: Betty Davis "If I'm in Luck I Might Get Picked Up"
from The History of Heavy Podcast
Betty Davis was well ahead of her time. She was a wildly flamboyant funk diva who combined the gritty emotional realism of Tina Turner, the futurist fashion sense of David Bowie, and the trendsetting flair of Miles Davis. Her debut LP was released in 1973 going on to influence dozens of powerful, independent female icons to follow, including Donna Summer, Patty Smith, Debbie Harry, The Runaways and Stevie Nicks. Her music still sounds fresh, in your face and badass today.
