Does Anyone Remember the Guy on the Keyboard I remember a clip of his video (80's) he was in a bedroom, sitting on a bed playing a keyboard. His style seemed to have been wanting to follow Prince (sorry non-Prince music) but he only did one song and was never heard from again. And also what happened to Stacy and Komiko (Wait for Me), they too seem to have disappeared only after one song (late 80's early 90's) | |

If I'm correct I think the name of the song was Cherry | |

He was a cat from the 80's, long hair, caramel skin, high voice. I think the name of the song was Tina Cherry. | |

Raised in Minneapolis, Georgio plays a variety of instruments and is something of an imitation of Prince, one of his musical influences. In the mid '80s, he scored with funk-styled dance cuts such as "Tina Cherry" and "Lover's Lane." Exotically handsome looks assured him female admiration, but his inflated ego and verbal attacks on artistry of Prince and Michael Jackson turned disc jockeys off. Oh so dude had an attitude, I would have made him disappear too | |

He was from Cali&Hustled Up His Single on Radio back in late 86 early 87.One of the Reasons Why He Dissed Prince was because Prince wanted to Sign Him but give up His Publishing Rights Etc...Before "Tina Cherry" His First Song He Hustled it to Radio&Got Play&also Sold about 9-10 thousand Copies before Motown Signed Him Up.I still Remember a Photo He tooks with Jimmy Jam back in 88 in "Black Beat" magazine.last time I saw Him He was Signed on RCA Records back in 90&had Moved from the Minneapolis Look with a touch of MJ for NWA Meets Rico Savvy Image Meets Milli Vanneli. mistermaxxx | |

If I didn't see this I don't think I would've ever thought about those two again in life! I have Georgio's album on cassette. I used to play it all the time. | |

I remember reading an article about Georgio in Black Beat magazine.He says that,in the mid-80s,Prince wanted to sign him to Paisley Park Records.Apparently,BrownMark discovered him and brought him to Prince's attention.Georgio claims that they wanted to take total creative control,writing and producing the album themselves,and taking all the credit.
"Now I understand how Prince's thing works",Georgio said."He finds people who would do anything to become a star.I'm not one of those people". | |

Georgio is sort of an embarrassment for me...
I followed his career for a few years, and he actually had more than one album: "Sex Appeal" in 1987, "Georgio" in 1989 (both on Motown) and "Rollin'" about 1991 on RCA. I tried to hip my friends to him, and they thought I was nuts... In retrospect, I realize I was. I recall Georgio got a lot of heat for imitating the whole Prince vibe, and got super-agitated whenever comparisons were made. In a 1989 BET interview, he only mentioned that "it'd be fun... I guess" to play with Prince, and that he almost got the chance when Prince did an L.A. small-club performance where Georgio was a DJ. I can recall almost dying of laughter because it was SO obvious Georgio would have sold his soul to be Prince! Critics chided him in 1989 because not only did he try to duplicate Prince's look and sound, but the typeface on his self-titled second album was a direct copy of Lovesexy's. Anyway, I guess he got frustrated with trying in vain to be Prince, because by the time Rollin' was released, his sound was totally un-Princy (and, therefore, that much harder to digest), and his look was more that of a gay South Central L.A. gang banger! By the way... I also recall that instances of him actually playing any of those instruments he claimed to have mastered were curiously absent.

Right Image Right Time to make a Little Loot.He tripped me out on Soul Train&also on Video Soul when He brought His Fur Coat&had it drapped all over the table as Donnie Simpson talked to Him.Motown Promoted Him for a Minute back in 87 but His Ass was to thin as a Artist to last beyond Novelty Status IMHO.but now if He were to Come out He would sell a Million Copies&Win a few Awards because the Buying Public Now would get behind Him for a Minute sad to say.back then People Cared&Knocked a Novelty Act out.3 Albums then would be almost 6 for Him today if He could get CLoned&Work up a few Hits??I followed his career for a few years, and he actually had more than one album: "Sex Appeal" in 1987, "Georgio" in 1989 (both on Motown) and "Rollin'" about 1991 on RCA.

Actually I do remember the song Tina Cherry and did like the song and sounded to me that he had some dang good talent but bring out his own style | |
