Betty Davis is a wild woman for sure. In Miles Davis's bio, he says that when he was married to her, she cut out on him and gave it up to Jimi Hendrix. Miles was still cool with Hendrix though.

Do we still really need proof that Larry Graham is the baddest around?

| | | | that song is sick. my biggest difficulty trying to play slap bass is making the rhythm flow, but with larry graham its like buttah |

Neal Schon plays quitar, the Pointer Sisters sing back up vocals, and the rhythm sections are from Sly and the Family Stone as well as Grand Central Railroad, with some Tower of Power horn players on that album. She was married to Miles Davis too.
Damn funky! |

BTW, the tune sounds VERY much like B Davis; many of the songs had a riff hook to them like this one.

"Greasin' " is / has been an "in thing" for techniques now and some kids keep asking what new thing it is and it goes back to Larry.
Not dawging anyone mind you, just giving proper props.
thank you for the link.... Betty's stuff IS just.......
just...
just....
DAMN!!
