Betty Davis, a funk singer and the ex-wife of singer Miles Davis, died Wednesday at 77.
Davis’ friend Danielle Maggio confirmed her death to Rolling Stone.
Amie Downs, communications director for Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where Davis resided, revealed that her cause of death was from natural causes.
Famous for her raspy purr, Davis was known for singing hits such as “Get Ready for Betty,” “It’s My Life,” “If I’m in Luck I Might Get Picked Up” and many more. Davis also wrote the Chambers Brothers song “Uptown (to Harlem).”
She recorded most of her music between 1964 and 1975.
