Betty Davis (nata Betty Mabry) è stata una cantante statunitense di funk e soul attiva tra gli anni '70 e '80. Considerata un'icona del movimento funk underground, Davis ha influenzato generazioni di musicisti con la sua energia scenica, il suo stile vocale potente e le sue canzoni provocatorie che affrontavano temi come il sesso, l'emancipazione femminile e la critica sociale. Nata a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Davis si trasferì a New York per perseguire una carriera musicale. Iniziò collaborando con artisti come Miles Davis (con cui non era imparentata) prima di lanciare la sua carriera solista nel 1973. Il suo album d'esordio, "Betty Davis", fu un successo critico e commerciale, consolidandone il posto nell'underground funk. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi ricordiamo "Nasty Gal", "If I'm In Heaven" e "Anti Love Song". Sebbene non abbia raggiunto la fama mainstream di altri artisti del periodo, Davis è oggi riconosciuta come una figura fondamentale nella storia del funk e un'artista visionaria che ha sfidato i canoni musicali e sociali dell'epoca.
