Betty Davis, born on July 26, 1944 in Durham, North Carolina, was a former American model who later became an iconic funk and soul singer. Known for her unforgettable live performances, she mesmerized audiences with her powerful voice and captivating stage presence.
Marrying [a=Miles Davis] in September 1968 until 1970 added another layer of intrigue to Betty's life story. Despite their short-lived marriage, Betty's impact as a musician remains timeless. Her music continues to resonate with fans worldwide as a testament to her talent and artistry.

Light in the Attic is excited to announce the first ever vinyl release of&nbsp;Crashin' From Passion! This stellar album is considered Davis’s most musically diverse, blending elements of reggae and calypso, jazz, dark synth-pop, and even disco. Equally exploratory are Davis’ vocals, as she trades in her signature sass and snarls for more nuanced stylings.

Crashin’ From Passion was remastered by Grammy nominated engineer Dave Cooley at Elysian Masters and pressed on vinyl at Record Technology, Inc. (RTI). The accompanying booklet includes a treasure trove of rare photos from the era, plus lyrics, and new liner notes by writer, ethnomusicologist, and Betty’s close friend, Danielle Maggio, who integrates interviews that she conducted with Davis, marking her last ever interviews.
