Adelantadísima a su tiempo, vetada frecuentemente por sus canciones fieras y golfas y por su aspecto deshinbido, posible amante de Jimi Hendrix y esposa fugaz de Miles Davis, a quien en el escaso año que duró ese matrimonio cambió musical y estilísticamente para el resto de su vida, su corta carrera es tan notablemente influyente como ignorada por el gran público. Un documental aún sin fecha de estreno (pero con la recaudación a través de crowdfunding ya cerrada) volverá de nuevo a reivindicar su figura, como ya hicieran las discográficas P-Vine o Vampisoul (que editó una muy completa recopilación) y más recientemente Light In The Attic.
Quite ahead of her time, banned frequently for her kinky furious repertoire and her uninhibited appearence, possibly lover of Jimi Hendrix and briefly married to Miles Davis, whose music and style she changed for the rest of his life, her short musical career is as highly influential as generally ignored. A yet not premiered crowfunded documentary (but with a succesful crowdfunding campaign already closed) will celebrate her figure, as also did in the past P-Vine and Vampisoul Records and more recently Light In The Attic Records.
