Betty Davis was indeed unlike any other. Whether it was her crazy attire of mini-shorts and her impressive afro (she was a former model), her friendships (Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone) or her stage performances and lyrics so erotic that they angered the legions of decency.<\/p>\r\n\n                <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n                <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Betty Davis - Nasty gal\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-cookieconsent=\"statistics, marketing\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vf5NUBIcEyU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><div class=\"cookieconsent-optout-statistics cookieconsent-optout-marketing\"><\/div>\n                <\/div><\/figure>\n                <p><strong>2.

At the time, the album was not a commercial success, so much so that, shortly afterwards, the queen of New York underground funk retired from music. The album was re-released several times in the following years and went on to gain a cult following. The album even gave its name to the Nasty Gal brand, whose designer was a big fan of the singer.<\/p>\r\n\n                <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n                https:\/\/youtu.be\/mQILEYw66Rg\n                <\/div><\/figure>\n                <p><strong>3.

Sampled by Ice Cube and Talib Kweli, the American who was brought up on a diet of blues (thanks to a music-loving grandmother and father) managed to enchantingly combine the alluring, sexy side of funk and the spirit of punk with a husky, gut-wrenching voice that sounded like it wanted to throw decorum to the wind. Before today&#8217;s pop feminism and empowerment, Betty Davis paved the way for a generation of free and proud artists such as Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Rihanna and Beyonc\u00e9.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
