Shut Off the Light

Betty Davis wrote "Shut Off the Light" alone, and it is the third track of side two of Nasty Gal (Island, 1975), 3:53 by Wikipedia and 3:54 on MusicBrainz, where a 3:59 version is on the compilation This Is It!. Wikipedia's article body and Billboard's obituary coverage call it "Shut Off the Lights", while the tracklist says Light. Wikipedia lists it as a single from the album that reached number 97 on the Billboard R&B chart in 1975; we could not verify the single's label, catalogue number, B-side or date. It was recorded in the May 1975 sessions, with Davis producing and Bob Clearmountain engineering, and the album players are Funk House (Larry Johnson, Nicky Neal, Fred Mills and Carlos Morales), among others; which of them play on this track is not recorded.

We found no statement from Davis on its subject, no video, no live history, and no covers or samples (WhoSampled and SecondHandSongs had no page). The upload comes from her Topic channel, which carries distributor audio, so we take it to be the studio recording.
