Notes:
Podcast patron Bob Peterson picks the topic. He tells the story of funk singer, fashion designer and culture shifter Betty Davis, who passed away earlier this year at the age of 78. In first of a two-part series here on the pod, Bob talks about Betty’s early days in the music biz and marriage to trumpeter Miles Davis.
