In the 1970s, Betty Davis defied genre and gender by pushing her voice
to extremes and embracing the erotic. She articulated a kind of pre-punk,
funk-blues fusion that had yet to be normalized in mainstream music - a
style that few musicians have come close to replicating. As one of the first
Black women to write, arrange, and produce her own albums, Betty was
a visionary who disregarded industry boundaries and constraints. Raw,
unapologetic and in full control, Betty paved the way for generations
of future artists who said "funk you" to the music industry and social
norms. In 1979, when Davis entered an L.A. studio to record her fifth
and final album, she was reeling from a series of setbacks. Three years
earlier, after recording her fourth album, Is It Love Or Desire, Davis was
dropped from her label and the LP was subsequently shelved. In 1978,
her beloved band Funk House went their separate ways. Looking for a
fresh start, Davis relocated to Hollywood to focus on songwriting. Before
long, British manager Simon Lait (Toni Basil), offered to fund her next
project. Crashin' From Passion was remastered by Dave Cooley at
Elysian Masters and pressed on vinyl at Record Technology, Inc.
Crashin' From Passion include booklets comprising rare photos from the era
of their respective recording, as well as lyrics and new liner notes, containing
Davis' final interviews, by her close friend, the writer and ethnomusicologist
Danielle Maggio.
