Oct 8, 2008 - Is she still around?

funknroll Says:

Oct 8, 2008 - Betty is alive, but she's kept a low profile after leaving the music business in the late 1970's. Her first two CDs are coming back out on May 15; the new interviews inside, plus a cover story on the magazine WAX POETICS (Rap, Funk), are helping to put her back into the spotlight. Hopefully this is a new beginning for her!

funknroll Says:

Oct 8, 2008 - Be sure to check out the NEW video, "HE WAS A BIG FREAK", too! It seems to be escaping YouTube's radar and isn't appearing with the other Betty videos. Hit "More from this user" to your right and scroll down...

Oct 8, 2008 - Great stuff, thanks for sharing...

austrianfunkhunter Says:

Oct 8, 2008 - Alice Cooper? Imho she sounds far from Cooper... she was rather influenced by Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone.By the Way: She is just three years younger than Cooper...So it's "highly unlikely" as well, that Cooper is her biological father.;-)
