We are saddened to learn of the passing of two very influential artists this week Betty Davis and Syl Johnson. Betty, the former wife of Miles Davis and friend of Jimi Hendrix (possibly the inspiration for his track ‘Foxy Lady’), made 3 strong Funk albums in the early to mid 70s  which have influenced future generations and been sampled many times. Syl Johnson a great Southern Soul and Blues singer who made numerous great tracks and albums.
