She inspired husband Miles into reinventing Jazz and himself in '69. She combined the sounds of her friends Sly and Jimi to make intense FunkRock albums of her own. Her fierce sexual persona and aggro voice scared the record industry in the mid-70's. In doing so, she paved the way for such rebels as the Slits, Grace Jones, Nina Hagen, Madonna, Annie Lennox, Diamanda Galas, Boss Hogg, Joi (Gilliam), Nikka Costa, and Peaches. This is the title track from her 1975 masterpiece. Obviously Prince heard it, which inspired him to turn it into "Nasty Girl" by Vanity 6 in 1982.

BETTY DAVIS-"SHUT OFF THE LIGHT" (1975) BETTY DAVIS CD RE-ISSUES are out now!

Betty goes at it full-throttle in this scorcher. She leaves it to interpretation but here's a few sketches of possibilities. If the 60's was the Empowerment decade -from King to X to Che to Chavez to the Counterculture- then the 70's was the Liberation decade. There were so many issues to address that what we know of as the 60's really stretches roughly from 1964 to 1975. The rise of Feminism and the lateral expression of sensuality were later, crucial extensions in that period. Sexism is evil; but Sensuality is essential. The word "sex" can mean either gender or the sensual act. Folks who blur the two without distinction speak to neither well. Gender inequities are wrongs that should be righted. Sexuality is a spiritual and physical pleasure everyone has a right to. The best lights of Feminism understood this from the beginning, and do now with examples like Riot Grrl and Bust and Bitch magazines. Betty Davis was a progessive sensualist who was misunderstood and suppressed in her time by repressives and some confused progressives. Time has borne out the quality of her work and the merit of her stance. "Liberation for all, Everything must be rethought." -funknroll Betty Davis discography: BETTY DAVIS, 1973 THEY SAY I'M DIFFERENT, 1974 NASTY GAL, 1975 CRASHIN' FROM PASSION, a.k.a., HANGING OUT IN HOLLYWOOD, 1979 Check out my Herstory Of Rock in the Playlist page of my Channel!

MERRY CLAYTON- "GIMME SHELTER" (1970) Street Fighting Woman! Merry was the woman dueting with Mick on the Rolling Stones' original 1969 recording of "Gimme Shelter". Who better to interpret it the following year than Merry herself? She's accompanied on keys by her friend, the immeasurably important Billy Preston, who was as much the Sixth Stone as the Fifth Beatle in these years. The galloping roar of guitar may be David T. Walker, although the album credits don't clarify. She was born on Christmas Day, and what a gift! "War, children, is just a shot away/ See the pious sweeping my very streets today..." Any resemblence between the events in this video and the present day is entirely up to you...

ENNIO MORRICONE / EDDA DELL'ORSO -"Mariangela E La Seduzione -From, "IL GATTO A NOVE CODE" (Italy, 1973) -"THE CAT O' NINE TAILS" Karl Malden and James Franciscus star in this giallo/thriller about the hunt for a killer. For a Dario Argento film , it is surpriingly restrained compared to what his fans prize about his excesses. How do you the feelings of seduction when words fail?

LITTLE SISTER- "STANGA" (1970) SLY CD reissues out now! The first seven albums are remastered, expanded with extra songs and essays, in deluxe digipaks! Hurry, before the limited run sells out forever! SIS & the Family Stone!: Everybody knows the Family Stone had three Stewart siblings -Sly, Freddie, and Rose- but younger sister Vaetta (Vet) had her own group as well. Vet paired up with Mary Rand and Elva Melton as Little Sister. They sang back-up for the Family starting in 1970 before making singles of their own. Sly's fans know there was a long wait between the epic "Stand!" album (1969) and the Funk-defining masterpiece "There's a Riot Goin' On" (1971). In between were several dazzling slngles, including a few for Little Sister. Both their songs, You're the One" and "Somebody's Watching You", charted in the R'n'B Top 10 that year. It's probable that Sly is playing everything on them as well as writing and producing on his Stone Flower label. This is the first use of a drum machine, the famed Rhythm King, on a hit song. Crucially, these singles previewed the Riot album's new sound a year early; if that LP defined the path of modern Funk music, then these singles were its first steps. Vet was recently hurt in an auto accident. She's recovering, but why not send her a get-well line at this address: http://www.slyslilsis.com/index1.cfm As for our hero, check out Sly's personal spaces at: http://www.phattadatta.com/ and also: http://profile.myspace.com/slyfamily1 Sly's birthday is March 15th, so wish him well!

RUTH COPELAND/ FUNKADELIC-'YOUR LOVE BEEN SO GOOD TO ME' (1971) Ruth Copeland is an important missing chapter in the history of Parliament-Funkadelic. In the early 70's she co-wrote, sang, recorded, and performed with them. Such staples as "Come In Out of the Rain" and "The Breakdown" came from her pen. Also, many of the support vocals on the first Parliament album, "Osmium" (1970), are Ruth's. From the moment Sly & the Family Stone got their hands on James' groove, Funk was an inclusive party. George Clinton founded P-Funk on that core truth and has never lost sight of it. The British soul waif Ruth Copeland became part of the new funk mob by '70. She made two albums of her own, backed by the Funkadelic band (technically at this point, Parliament was considered the singers upfront.) The LPs were pounding out FunkRock years ahead of Betty Davis; but also, with her poetic neo-folk dramas, Ruth predates the innovations of Kate Bush. By 1972, there was a rift in which the classic Funkadelic band left Clinton and toured with Ruth for long stretches. She opened for Sly & the Family Stone for much of them. Then, after an RCA album in'76, she disappeared. Both of the early LPs are available on the "Gimme Shelter: The Invictus Sessions " CD (1998). This includes her two epic Stones covers, "Gimme Shelter" and "Play With Fire". The classic Funkadelic band are: Eddie Hazel, lead guitar Bernie Worrell, keyboards Billy "Bass" Nelson, bass Tawl Ross rhythm guitar Tiki Fulwood, drums http://www.answers.com/topic/ruth-cop... http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/m...

YVONNE FAIR-"FUNKY MUSIC SHO' NUFF TURNS ME ON" (1975) The sequel to: "BETTY DAVIS -F.U.N.K. (2.0)" http://youtube.com/watch?v=oNcohPUr1PI&feature=related Here are more of the pioneers of Funk music, from circa 1969 to 1976 (with a few extra upstarts sneaking in, like Prince and Teena.) This is for all of you who enjoyed the video for "Betty Davis -F.U.N.K. Part 2)" and wanted to know more! Like all actual culture, Funk is a gumbo in which everyone contributes. It's not one one thing any more than there is one food or one color. Here's who riled up the party: VICKI ANDERSON, of James Brown's posse; AVERAGE WHITE BAND, from Scotland; the Escovedo brothers (scions of Sheila E) with the latin jazz of AZTECA; the other house band of Stax Records (and "SHAFT"), the BAR-KAYS; alien funkster via the U.K., DAVID BOWIE; from Parliament/Funkadelic, the funkyamorous BRIDES OF FUNKENSTEIN; Quincy Jones' secret weapons, the BROTHERS JOHNSON; psychedelic funk-rock pioneers, the CHAMBERS BROTHERS; with "Viva Tirado" comes EL CHICANO; the Bay Area's boogie blues of COLD BLOOD with belter Lydia Pense; James' hitwoman LYN COLLINS ("It takes two to make a thing go ri-iight!"); the funkrock hellion herself, BETTY DAVIS; New Orleans voodoo man, DR. JOHN; sultans of famous samples, the EBONY RHYTHM BAND; Detroit's intense funkrockers, THE 8TH DAY; Ms. YVONNE DAVIS herownself; FELA RANSOME KUTI, champion of Afrobeat and revolution for Nigeria; the inventor of Funk bass, Larry GRAHAM's CENTRAL STATION; U.K's smart disco, HEATWAVE ("Boogie Nights"); the all-female funky rockers, ISIS (formed from Goldie & the Gingerbreads); the immortal ISLEY BROTHERS; the J.B.'s, James' band led by Fred Wesley, and ignition for Bootsy Collins; Nona Hendryx, Sara Dash, and Patti Labelle of LABELLE; the Wilson brothers from Columbia, with the world fusion of MANDRILL; Jorge Santana with the latin groove of MALO ("Suavecito"); madame TEENA MARIE, foil to Rick James, fronting it blunt; from Stax Records, the legendary MEMPHIS HORNS centered around Andrew Love and Wayne Jackson; the unapologetic rock of MOTHER'S FINEST, featuring Joyce Kennedy; soul groovers the NEW BIRTH; the royalty of the OHIO PLAYERS; the Afican fusion band, OSIBISA; stealth freaker SHUGGIE OTIS; also from P-Funk, the booty-snatchin' PARLET; the secret son of Sly Stone and Betty Davis, the purple monarch PRINCE; the Native American funksters, REDBONE("Come and Get Your Love"); the heavenly STAPLES SINGERS, featuring Mavis and Pops; Oakland's unbeatable TOWER OF POWER; Motown's answer to Funkadelic, the UNDISPUTED TRUTH; the most bad-azz music band in the land, WAR (with the Animals' Eric Burdon); hitting it once but so right, WILD CHERRY; the underrated titan of tune, BILL WITHERS; mentor to Joss Stone, BETTY WRIGHT; and Frank Zappa's MOTHERS OF INVENTION, featuring George Duke. Phew! About Yvonne Fair: Yvonne was an early light in the James Brown heavens, knocking out soul singles in the early 60's. Her rendition of "I Found You" is the blow-for-blow blueprint for his "I got You (I Feel Good)". She was the mother of Jame's second son. By the 1970's she moved to Motown. She starred as Billy Holiday's (Diana Ross) mentor in their famed biopic, "Lady Sings the Blues" (1972). The Free Love ethos of the counterculture had blossomed into the loose polyamory of the 70's; this was reflected in the soul community in places like the Chakacha's orgasmic "Jungle Fever", the harcore comedy of Richard Pryor, the proud raunch of Millie Jackson, and Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" album. When Betty Davis roared in to ratchet it up several notches, Motown seemed to respond with Yvonne Fair. Her LP, "The Bitch Is Black" (1975), is graced with Yvonne as a kinky whip-toting domme on the cover. Marvin Gaye produced and sang on her swaggering take on "Funky Music Sho' Nuff Turns Me On". This was a chestnut previously done by roster stars like Edwin Starr and the Temptations, but Yvonne brings a whole new swing to it. Powered by both the strength of feminism and the sensual rebellion of the time, it foretells the sex-positive activists of today. (All rights reserved.

ROTARY CONNECTION-"I AM THE BLACK GOLD OF THE SUN" (1971) "Soul Sisters triumphant!": From Psychedelia to Funk, 1967-1975. The human race started from Africa. When drought hit, around 24 members of the Bushmen tribe set out into the unknown for food. The global journey of their generations seeded the entire planet over the next 50,000 years. These two dozen Africans created every one of us. We are all family, we've just forgotten it. In the 1950's, sparked by Rosa Parks, the Civil Rights movement challenged segregation. The resulting 60's Counterculture meant to free the mind, body, and spirit from any shackles. They embraced the tribal and the communal, the future and each other. The late 60's-early 70's was a golden age of connection and exploration opening the possibilities that created the best in the world we now live in. This is a story of our shared jouney we shouldn't forget. Here are many Soul Sisters who paved our path: LT. UHURA opened the future on "Star Trek"; the tribal Rock musical HAIR personified the re-evolution, which also gave us Melba Moore, Donna Summer, Leata Galloway, Marsha Hunt, Ben Vereen, Phillip Michael Thomas, and many more; all-inclusive music groups like BOOKER T & THE MG's, SLY & THE FAMILY STONE, ROTARY CONNECTION, JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE, The Loading Zone, Santana, and The Chambers Brothers; new world couples like Jimi Hendrix and Devon Wilson, Brian Jones and Donyale Luna; activist singers like NINA SIMONE; Native American and African clothes and hairstyles were reborn; this opened the door for MIRIAM MAKEBA and other World Musics into the mainstream; MARSHA "Brown Sugar" HUNT set the template for Betty Davis and the next decade of Funk Rock women; MILES and BETTY DAVIS stirred Funk and Psychedelia into the Fusion Jazz of "Bitches Brew"; by '69, the Fashion industry was opened by JOLIE JONES, NAOMI SIMS, DONYALE LUNA, Carole La Brie, Beverly Johnson, Jane Kennedy, and African ELIZABETH OF TORO; as Feminism dawned in the early 70's, ELAINE BROWN took command of the generally sexist Black Panther Party while ANGELA DAVIS fought The Man; modern poet/authors like NIKI GIOVANNI, Toni Morrison, and Alice Walker inspired waves of new students; the new archetype of 'Soul Sister', with brains, class, style, and attitude, took its first proud strut; this modern amazon ruled the screens with actors like PAM GRIER, TAMARA DOBSON, CAROL SPEED (cutest eyes ever!), THERESA GRAVES, Vonetta McGhee, Jeane Belle, and Gloria Hendry; and in the comics with Wonder Woman's sister, NUBIA, and feiry STORM of the X-MEN. These women created: bohemian musicians like Ruth Copeland, Funkadelic, Joyce Kennedy (Mothers Finest), Parlet and Brides Of Funkenstein, Grace Jones, Prince & the Revolution, Public Enemy, the Native Tongues rappers, Lenny Kravitz, Cree Summer, Nenah Cherry, Me'Shell Ndegeocello, Dionne Farris, Skin (Skunk Anansie), Erykah Badu, The Roots, Joi, Kelis, India Arie, Joss Stone, Corinne Bailey Rae, and Nikka Costa; World musicians like Osibisa, Fela, King Sunny Ade, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Mahotella Queens, Zap Mama, Cesaria Evora, Angelique Kidjo, and Antibalas; models like Naomi Campbell, Iman, Waris Dalie, and Alek Wek; activists like bell hooks, Sister Souljah, and Pam The Funkstress (The Coup); tough actors like Gina Torres (FIREFLY/ SERENITY), Halle Barry (CATWOMAN, X-MEN), and Jada Pinkett Smith (THE MATRIX); and superheroines like Vixen, Misty Knight, Monica Rambeau (Captain Marvel), and Natasha Irons (Steel). About ROTARY CONNECTION: The Chess label parlayed modern blues (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf) and Rock'n'roll (Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley) in the 50's. Young heir Marshall Chess stirred them into the psychedelic 60's with the RC. It combined a rock group with soul singers, all arranged by the radical Charles Stepney with jazz changes, operatic chorales, electronic dissonance, and sweeping strings. It also introduced Minnie Ripperton, who went on to glory with "Loving You" later. Though Minnie has sadly passed, her daughter Maya Rudolph is a shining star on "Saturday Night Live". Stepney went on to arrange the great hits of Earth Wind & Fire. And Nuyorican Soul made "Black Gold" a modern standard with their 1997 remix hit. Who is the black gold of the sun? We all are.

ISIS -APRIL FOOL (1974) "1970's Supergirls Kick Your Butt!" The American civil rights movement opened possibilities of empowerment to a new generation. Feminism simply extended that to include equity for the 51% majority of the human race, namely women. 1970's pop culture reflected society's struggle to grasp a new, modern, full-range woman. Comic books were in a renaissance through young counterculture creators with more sophisticated stories, art, and outlooks. What better place for higher concepts of new female power than the turbo-amped fantasyscape of superheroes? "Here be... the victors!": BIG BARDA of the New Gods, by the Picasso of comics, Jack Kirby (1970); the 'new' LOIS LANE, exploring unexpected sides of herself; SHANNA The She-Devil, an heir to Tarzan and Sheena; the split-persona ROSE AND THORN, a mild woman by day, a 'vixen of vengeance' at night kicking biker ass in green leather (1972); THE CAT, a Marvel update on Catwoman, who morphed into TIGRA The Were-Woman (1972); the BLACK CANARY, a stalwart heroine from the 1940's who got new kick as a member of the Justice League of America; DEADLY NIGHTSHADE, 'the queen of the werewolves', a villain who fought Captain America and the Falcon (1973); MARY MARVEL, the sister of Captain Marvel, and essentially the original Supergirl since the early 40's (1973); DARNA, the Phillipines' pinay-power answer to Wonder Woman and Mary Marvel, who spawned many movies like 'Fly Darna Fly' (1973); THUNDRA who fought the Fantastic Four and later replaced the Thing as a member (1972); the really wrong-headed attempt at a WONDER WOMAN movie, starring Cathy Lee Crosby (1974); SUPERGIRL, with fellow slamazons in the DC Comics universe (1974); FRIDAY FOSTER, a syndicated comic strip which was made into a movie starring hellion-on-heels Pam Grier (1975); the true WONDER WOMAN, restored to her full glory after a bad detour into 'no powers', the success of which spurred the perfectly-realized TV show starring the more perfect Lynda Carter (1975-78); which also included WONDER GIRL, given full bredth by Debra Winger; THE BIONIC WOMAN, the love of the 'Six Million Dollar Man' and bane to Fembots, played with serene class by Lyndsay Wagner (1976-1978); VAMPIRELLA, the gothic love-child of Bettie Page and Barbarella, from the decidedly more adult horror stories of Warren Magazines (1969-1983); STORM, one of the first African/American superheroines, whose regal power elevated the X-Men (1975); POWER GIRL, an alternate universe version of Supergirl, who won't take @#$& from anybody! (1976); ELECTRAWOMAN & DYNAGIRL, a Saturday morning kids show very similar to the campy 60's 'Batman' series (1976); LEIKO WU, the balance to 'Shang Chi, Master Of Kung Fu', who really will kick you upside your head wearing boots like it's no thing (1975- 1981); ISIS, starring Joanna Cameron, created for TV as a companion to Captain Marvel's 'Shazam' show, who got her own comic in the deal (1976); RED SONJA, The She-Devil With a Sword, and the distaff rebuke to her rival 'Conan the Barbarian' (1973); PRINCESS LEIA ORGANA SKYWALKER, as fast with a sharp tongue as a blaster or a chain, from 'Star Wars' (1977); MS. MARVEL, a Stan Lee rethink/ response to DC's Mary Marvel to complement their own, separate Captain Mar-Vell (1978); The HUNTRESS, an alternate universe daughter of the Batman and Catwoman, meaning you shouldn't mess with her (1977); SPIDER-WOMAN, spinning her own web of intrigue (1977); PHOENIX, of the X-Men, whose descent into the Dark Phoenix was one of comics' most seismic tragedies (1976-1980); MISTY KNIGHT, bionic heroine-for-hire, from the pulse-pounding pages of 'Power Man/ Iron Fist' (1975); SHE-HULK, the refined and wry cousin of the Hulk (1980); DAZZLER, an unfortunate marketing deal between a disco label and Marvel Comics (1980); and finally, from the shadows, comes ELEKTRA, an ambivilent anti-heroine signalling the post-punk comics renaissance of the Eighties (1981). About ISIS: The first all-female band signed to a record deal was Goldie & the Gingerbreads in 1964. They tore up New York, toured with the Stones, and won world acclaim. But they were only able to record a few singles, which faded under record label incompetance. (Fanny would later be the first all-female band to make full albums, in 1970.) They split, only to go in parallel paths. Goldie became Genya Ravan, leading the eclectic and funky rock band, Ten Wheel Drive. Guitarist Carol MacDonald and drummer Ginger Bianco forged ISIS, an all-female octet of progressive funk-rock. They made three albums between 1974 and 1977. Musically they were the equal of anyone, from Blood Sweat & Tears and Chicago, to Earth Wind & Fire and Parliament. But they were too ahead for the times to handle: an all-female group of varied ethnicities and orientations, likewise bending every music style like taffy. They were the future, right now, as it should be. Sadly, their leader Carol MacDonald recently passed away in March, 2007.

THE RUNAWAYS -"QUEENS OF NOISE" (1977) The Women of 1970's Rock, Part 1! (Part 2 video: "X-RAY SPEX -DAY THE WORLD TURNED DAY-GLO (1978)") In the wake of Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, the flood of modern Rock women was unleashed in the early 1970s. Routinely written off by the foolish and the threatened, nevertheless these hellions rewrote the future we live in. It's time to give them their due: The instigators: FANNY, the first all-female band signed to make albums in 1970; "THE CARRIE NATIONS", the stars of the outrageous movie "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls"; and MAMA LION, whose leader LYNN CAREY actually sang as well as co-wrote all those songs they lip-synched; SWEET LINDA DIVINE, a San Francisco soulster from the rock band Loading Zone; and her Bay Area peer, LYDIA PENSKE, with her rockin' soul group, COLD BLOOD; from Holland comes the deeply underrated SHOCKING BLUE with their axis MARISKA VERES; out of the pyschedelic group Daisy Chain came the ferociously rocking all-female BIRTHA who prompted Alice Cooper to wear their T-Shirt, "Birtha's Got Balls"; transcending typical blues-boogie to map out the avant-garde future of music was conceptual artist and punk godmother YOKO ONO; English freespirit RUTH COPELAND kicked out the jams backed by FUNKADELIC with guitar-god Eddie Hazel; SONJA KRISTINA unwound the boundaries with progressive-rockers CURVED AIR; the Scottish blues band STONE THE CROWS was fueled by MAGGIE BELL; Japan was ransacked by the SADISTIC MIKA BAND and its 'eccentric' livewire, MIKA KATOH; leaving her Detroit sisters in the Pleasure Seekers, SUZI QUATRO found fame in England with Glam Rock, inspiring teen Joan Jett and legions of others; the English boogie soul of VINEGAR JOE was fronted by Robert Palmer and siren ELKIE BROOKS; in California, LINDA RONSTADT was giving rock her own soulful swagger; having backed Lou Reed on "Walk On the Wild Side", the singers called THUNDERTHIGHS found some success among the British glam scene; with her star turn in the Who's 1975 film "Tommy", TINA TURNER declared her independence from Ike belting out rock songs; riding the Glam wave, FANCY scored with an intensely sensual take on "Wild Thing" moaned by Anne Kavanagh; the theatrical NOOSHA FOX lit up the prog-pop group, FOX; from Goldie & the Gingerbreads rolled Genya Ravan with her eclectic troupe, TEN WHEEL DRIVE; while her former bandmates Carol MacDonald and Ginger Bianco resurrected in the all-female funk-rock octet ISIS; meanwhile, the hardcore queen of funk-rock, BETTY DAVIS, scorched stages and turntables and record execs' rulebooks; and in New York, an edgy club called CBGB's was the womb for the new music to come, first hearkened by iconoclast Patti Smith; and then BLONDIE with its divining rod DEBBIE HARRY, the prototypes of the new wave rising; out of Los Angeles teen boredom exploded the revolutionary RUNAWAYS, an all-female harrrrd rock band of 16-year-old ballbusters; if Robert Plant had channeled Janis and Joni, then ANN and NANCY WILSON rechanneled Zeppelin with their group, HEART, which solidified all the hard work of the women before them into breakthrough success for those to follow; and funking up peoples' radio-programmed minds, MOTHER'S FINEST mixed it all up hard rock style propelled by hellcat JOYCE KENNEDY. About The RUNAWAYS: The L.A. scene was weak in the early 70's. Teens hung out at decadent Glam clubs, desperate for kicks and something new. Joan Jett started a female trio with the express purpose to actually Rock and rock hard. With producer Kim Fowley the quintet got its name, a record deal, many promises, and a lot of heartache. They were called puppets, groupies, and jailbait by an industry that couldn't see the future in front of them. Now it's crystal clear that the Runaways were a brutally powerful band who hinged us into Punk and Heavy Metal. They deserved better than they got, and they gave us better than we deserved. Here are the original Runaways roaring live in Japan and kicking your ass flat. To be continued in Part 2, "X-RAY SPEX -DAY THE WORLD TURNED DAY-GLO (1978)"! (All rights reserved by the owners.
