Educate me... who are Tamara and the Scene? I know I could Google this and find out, but I bow to the Orgers greater knowledge...
I see the name "Ta Mara and the Scene" crop up occasionally as a "Prince Related" artist / band. Trouble is I don't know anything about them. ![]() What is the association? How much did/do they release? Is it any good? Yadda, Yadda, Yadda... I'm sure someone can help me out. ~ - ~ ~ - ~ ~ - ~ ~ - ~ Peace, Love and Positivity ~ - ~ ~ - ~ ~ - ~ Tell me, who in the House know about the Quake.com | |

They are a group masterminded by Jesse Johnson. He produced and performed most of the music. The female lead was Margie Cox("Tamara"). Their biggest seller was the track Everybody Dance. Very Minneapolis Funk sounding. They made a self titled album and another called Blueberry Gossip, which had a cool version of Everyday People. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Tamara and the Seen also did a pretty popular single entitled "Affection." | |

Oliver Lieber was a member and produced some of the hits off Paula Abdul's 1st album. He worked alot with St. Paul and produced tracks for the Corrs, Elisa Fiorillo, and Rod Stewart. He's the son of Jerry Lieber who co-wrote some of the greatest songs in early rock 'n' roll and soul, including "Hound Dog" and "Stand By Me". | |

Quick follow up... is the track "True Ecstacy" particularly rare or is it just an album track? ~ - ~ ~ - ~ ~ - ~ ~ - ~ Peace, Love and Positivity ~ - ~ ~ - ~ ~ - ~ Tell me, who in the House know about the Quake.com | |

I've always thought that Oliver Lieber was the inspiration for the Prince penned Sheila E track "Oliver's House". The lyrics make sense. I heard this afternoon from the neighborhood [slut, Deborah] She said Oliver is leaving soon so he can make a scene CHORUS: Were gonna have fun, Olivers house Make a lot of white noise Fun, Olivers house Play with the white boys Last June, Oliver threw a party 4 his girl, Louise She got drunk and called me a bitch just cuz I kissed him CHORUS Fun, Olivers house {x2} Olivers got a swimming pool, a piano in his bathroom We took turns throwing down, we took turns throwing up Gonna have fun, Olivers house Make a lot of white noise Fun, Olivers house Play with the white boys Fun, Olivers house Make a lot of white noise Fun, Olivers house Play with the white boys U should see his mothers room, shes got so many fine clothes Oliver, he dressed me up and then he undressed me slowly Oliver is so weird but he knows how 2 play guitar Im a sucker 4 a major chord, a ride in an open car Were gonna have fun, Olivers house Fun, Olivers house {x3} Were gonna have fun Fun {x27} If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

It was the second single from their 'Blueberry Gossip' album. The actual single is a little rare, but the song itself isn't. | |

eBay here I come! I believe Jesse pretty much was 'The Seen' on the second album. I'd also bet that he played a lot of the instruments on the first LP, but gave credit to the others รก la The Time. | |

Jesse's one of the baddest from the Prince camp. He also started another group called Da'Krash. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Thanks folks,
Additional question. Are their albums available on CD or will I have to hunt them down on Vinyl? ~ - ~ ~ - ~ ~ - ~ ~ - ~ Peace, Love and Positivity ~ - ~ ~ - ~ ~ - ~ Tell me, who in the House know about the Quake.com | |

Thanks, I've seen "Gossip" up on eBay but it's vinyl so I'll keep an eye out for the CDs instead... though I do love vinyl... ~ - ~ ~ - ~ ~ - ~ ~ - ~ Peace, Love and Positivity ~ - ~ ~ - ~ ~ - ~ Tell me, who in the House know about the Quake.com | |
