I was going to put up the album cover but this had a much more sensual, “black love” feel to it. A feel that better compliments the sound of the song itself and the artist, Betty Davis. Just like my love for all things Trane led me to Alice, my for inquisitiveness regarding Miles pushed me down the road into discovering his ex-wife’s music. A cult figure in her own right, Betty’s music was the uncut, genre-bending that inspired many a male counterpart to dabble in punk-funk.

This particular actual song? Well, it’s full of female bravado, sex-kitten purrings & 70′s slanguistics that even Ghost would be envious of.
