If you thought this was going to be about Billy Joel’s She’s Always a Woman (1977), think again! And hey, no worries if you got thrown off by the album cover—I’m here to introduce you to the gems these ears have been soaking in for nearly 30 years. This time, I’m talking about none other than the Queen of Funk herself: Mrs. Betty Davis.
For those unfamiliar, Betty Davis wasn’t just an artist—she was a force. Oh, and fun fact? She was once married to Miles Davis, and not only that, but she shaped his artistic evolution, influencing his dive into rock and funk. Without her, we might not have masterpieces like Bitches Brew (1970) or On the Corner (1972). But let me not get too sidetracked—Betty Davis was a powerhouse in her own right. She took funk and fused it with rock and pop, creating something raw, electric, and ahead of its time.
Her track She’s a Woman is the perfect example. Betty’s vocals are bold, provocative, and dripping with attitude—artful yet daring, mysterious yet alluring. The instrumentation behind her? Equally hypnotic, making for a sound that’s both seductive and revolutionary. She wasn’t just making music; she was breaking barriers and inspiring generations to come. If she’s not already on your radar, trust me—it’s time to change that.
