“Nasty Gal” by Betty Davis - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1975 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1970s |
Another solid album of hard-funk nastiness, only slightly hampered by the laws of diminishing returns. Album highlight “F.U.N.K.” is an endearing “right-on” homage to her peers including big ups to Jimi Hendrix, Aretha Franklin and The Funkadelics. A poster on RYM (Anxiety) made me laugh with his acute observation: “Listening to this woman grunt out “Effff…yewwww….ennnn….KAAYY…”, in what must be the most erotic spelling lesson ever recorded, makes me feel a little violated afterwards.”
