her real name was Betty Mabry, at twenty-four she married Miles Dewey Davis III who was forty-two, it lasted about a year and during that time she introduced MD to the paradisiacal music (for those days) of Johnny Allen Hendrix (for friends just Jimi) and he was so impressed that from that experience sprang the innovative album "Bitches Brew," it seems he really had a thing for trumpet players because after a while he had a relationship with Hugh Ramapolo Masekela, it is said that even Eric Patrick Clapton was not indifferent to her beauty, in '76 her career had a break of about thirty years and she lived for a year in Japan, spending quite a bit of time with silent monks, but that's a whole other story and nothing...
