I was watching an old saturday night live performance from 1980 and Prince is performing 'Party Up' and Dr. Fink is doing the Robot in the back ground. Its soo hilarious, he looks like a member of Devo or something.

I hate to say it but, I miss those days.

Dr. Fink doing the robot...Devo like.
Lisa blowing her hair out of her eyes.
Dez in a trance
Andre looking like Prince's older brother.
and Prince looking pissed off.

Although this clip isn't my favorite for the simple fact that Prince is winded and isn't singing great, I love Prince's dancing. It's not choreographed and he's just doing what feels right.

I never "got" Fink
I didn't care for his playing or his dorkiness
I think the humer in him is that he is trying desperatly to fit in,

I never got to record that, nobody plays classic Sat. Night Live from the early 80s enymore! On Comedy Central its all that Mad TV crap now. On E! its only Sat. Night Live from the 90s.

RENATO

FINK!

ever see renato do the robot on national television?i'll answer for you-NO!
why/because he does not have the balls of dr fink.
renato is smooth jazz,adult contemporary sludge.
fink is nasty personified.
when renato plays the lead line on dmsr it sounds like a menudo song.
when fink plays the lead line on dmsr the hair on your neck will stand up.
anymore reasons why fink is the best?
i got a million if you want em...

FINK!

Fink is like a wal-mart manager




Thats not meant to be witty, just descriptive

paintsprayer said:

then you have failed sir.
that does not describe fink in the least.
fink was/is the fithiest keyboard player prince has ever had the pleasure of working with.
he kept fink around the longest also.

Are we talking about the same guy?
dr. uniform, acts like someones uncle trying to dance at a wedding
WTF come on

wallysafford said:

LOL

paintsprayer said:

it's not in the clothes bro.it's in that big fatassed oberheim patch.
fink is the man who co-wrote dirty mind for christsake!
ever hear the solo on head?that would be fink.
that solo on head would make a lounge act like renato blush!

I remeber when I first saw 1999 video
I couldn't believe how cool this was for the time
and then there was Fink
Fink is not a bad player
Renato is a great player

Dr Fink felt me up during a routine check-up

Tony M was jealous of Finks pulling power so Prince told Fink to fuck off.

uhhm...NO1 beats the Dr.
cuz the Dr.'s got whatchya need

uh..FUNKAY.

I never knew that performance existed until I saw the SNL Anniversary Special in 1989 and saw a small clip of it. I'd love to see it.

I liked it better before Prince started doing choreographed dance moves myself.

FINK is the 80s.

No disrespect to Renato, is a damn cool cat as well.

like the great john winston lennon once said-
"all we are saying,is,give fink a chance"....

Renato is a great keyboard player, and so is Morris Hayes, a very underrated and overlooked man, but ....the Doctor is the Doctor...he´s the one and only Dr. Fink .....
and everyone who came after him knows that...even if some of you don´t get it..

Do you live in the US? If so, NBC plays classic episodes (real old episodes) of SNL at 3am EST (probably 2am Central time)

I love that!!
Dr Fink is absolutly the funkiest keyboardplayer that Prince
has ever played with.He's got the Minneapolisfunk right in his pocket.
Dr Fink is 1 of my heros!
