Listen Later

No, not that Bette Davis. 

Today's episode is the first of a two-part Patron chat with Bob Peterson, who tells the story of Betty Davis, funk singer, fashion designer and visionary spirit. 

Bob joins Jim and Patrick from his home in Wisconsin and in today's part one, he relates the tale of Betty's start in the music business (including a brief marriage to Miles Davis) and the recording of her first two albums.
