She sounds like Macy Gray, which reminds me, Macy Gray is someone I need to add to my collection. Hey. Which Betty Davis album is the best to get my feet wet? And while you’re at it, if you know, who’s that artist from several years back that made that hit song that included these lyrics:

(I think the name of the song is "Love Will Save the Day")

~Gotta be BAD, gotta be STRONG, gotta stay together…

…my, my, my…love’ll save the day~

Or something like that?

If you know, let me know, thanks!

Betty Davis is without a doubt one of the most underrated, creative and ahead-of-her-time artists of the past three decades. I recall listening to her non-stop back during my college days. Nice to see folks taking a renewed interest in the sista.

Her first one. The jam is "(I said if I'm in Luck) I Just Might Get Picked Up--Gawd! Raw Soul.

Gotta be BAD, gotta be STRONG, gotta stay together…

…my, my, my…love’ll save the day~

(Somebody was talking about her just the other day. She was a black British chick--that was her only hit I think.

Des'ree…that’s it! The name of the track is "You Gotta Be". The Album is called I Ain’t Movin’. And Betty Davis’ best sellers are: Betty Davis, Betty Davis, They Say I’m Different, and Nasty Gal (!!!) LOL!!

I'm listening to the radio--this alternative radio station--when the DJ pops on "I Just Might Get Picked Up"--solid! Smokin'. I hadn't heard it in years--the first time I heard it a guy called himself messing with me--thought I'd hear her and be revolted--hell! I ran right out and bought the album.

Betty was ahead of her time--and hanging out with such fast company probably took a lot of starch out of her, too!
