Back in the day, Clive Davis's wife Bette did some rather risqué songs and Mahalia redid them. I would have been embarrassed to ask but those that know me know that I can be a butthole so I would've asked any way when we had a nice discussion back in August.

She is so sweet. Wouldn't have guessed.




Mahalia learned well from her daddy.

Thanks 12344..... My synapses must not have fired cause I was a huge DeepPurple fan in Jr Sr High school back in the 70's and would not have made that connection unless I stumbled upon it by mr google.

Managed to meet Mahalia a couple of times and her dad didn't come up. Now that I have her Bette Davis album it probably won't come up when I see her in August

Thanks again for the primer.
