“You want to feel it, don’t you?” Betty Davis asks on the Nasty Gal deep cut “Feelins.” The certainty in her delivery lets you know that she’s already figured you out — not only what you want to feel, but how to make you feel it. She brings catharsis to the surface on “Dedicated to the Press,” pushing the bass in her voice to challenge the pluck of the bass line the track runs along. She cranks up the grit on “Nasty Gal,” taking all of the wicked names she’d been called and tossing them back like grenades. And yet, these records exist alongside the likes of “Talkin’ Trash” and “The Lone Ranger,” sensual cuts delivered with a wink and a growl. Davis did it all, felt it all, and relished the thrill that freedom gave her. Nasty Gal marked an effective end to the funk and soul musician’s career, aided by cultural backlash and suits in boardrooms. But it was always our loss, never hers. —L.P.
