Betty Davis, a commercially unsuccessful but immensely influential soul, funk, and R&B singer, died today of natural causes, a representative confirmed in an email to The FADER.

Born Betty Mabry in Durham, North Carolina, she moved to New York in the early '60s to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Immersing herself in the parallel worlds of downtown folk and uptown funk, she was introduced to the music industry by artists — Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, Lou Courtney — whom she met at Harlem clubs like The Cellar.

Betty Davis, Singer-Songwriter Who Paved the Way for Boldly Sensual Funk in 1970s, Dies at 76

A.D. Amorosi Singer-songwriter-producer Betty Davis, an icon of future-funk, fashion and bold sexuality in the 1970s, died Wednesday at age 76 in her longtime home of Homestead, Pennsylvania.Davis, who was once married to and collaborated with jazz legend Miles Davis, died of natural causes, Allegheny County communications director Amie Downs told Rolling Stone.The singer was widely viewed as having paved a way for R&B and hip-hop performers ranging from Prince and Erykah Badu to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, even though she dropped out of the recording scene so early — all but disappearing after the mid-1970s — that thse debts were not always recognized.In her heyday, this uninhibited mistress of futuristic funk and highly sexualized lyrical and vocal prowess released three albums – 1973’s “Betty Davis,” 1974’s “They Say I’m Different” and 1975’s definitive “Nasty Gal” – that were as bold in their self-creation as she was in portraying their sensual power on each album sleeve.
