<p><b>The first full biography of the funk pioneer cited as an inspiration by artists from Beyoncé to Questlove, with a foreword by Bootsy Collins.</b></p><p>As a girl, Betty Davis fixed her eyes on stardom and never looked back. After leaving a violent marriage to her husband Miles Davis, Betty took unprecedented control of her musical career for a Black woman working in the 1970s, performing and producing a string of defiantly feminist funk records with a screaming, sexually intense style like no one else. And then, at the crest of her powers, she fell silent.</p><p>Built on decades of interviews and told through the eyes of Danielle Maggio, Davis's close friend in her final years, <i>Game Is Her Middle Name</i> reveals new aspects of Davis's life, music, and struggles. In telling her story, Maggio gives us a nuanced portrait of what happens to a pathbreaking artist when the spotlight moves on from her, and what happens when the world finally catches up.</p>
