    One can hardly imagine Prince, Erykah Badu, or Outkast without the influence of Betty Davis. Her style of raw and revelatory punk-funk defies any notions that women can’t be visionaries in the worlds of rock and pop! This album features previously unreleased tracks, production from Miles Davis and performances from the likes of Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin, Mitch Mitchell, Wayne Shorter, and Larry Young!
