So who else had the minneapolis sound? I've got Janet Jackson down on Control.
Who else?  | |

jody watley's first album was very 'minneapolis sound' (in my opinion). | |

I agree with all the above stated artists. 
Also Georgio? I thought he did. | |

Someone, I think it was Tyka Nelson, said that John L. Nelson had the original Minneapolis sound. I'd be curious to hear more of his music to hear if there's a connection. My Legacy

The 2nd runner up would have to be Janet Jackson via Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis...

I'd say New Edition and The Jets, definitely.
But definitely Janet Jackson is the #1 non-Prince-related person using that sound, especially since most of it comes from Flyte Tyme. |

I thought Rick James' Mary Jane Girls had a very Minneapolis sound...my boyfriend who isn't a Prince fan...was listeing to "In my House" extended version and he remarked how it sounded like a "Prince" song. | |

Ebonee Webb and Bobby Nunn had that sound before Prince became huge. Afterwards, these groups either had that sound on one or two songs and some of them completely had that sound:
Ready For The World Krystol Chaka Khan The Egyptian Lover The Jets Georgio Wynd Chymes (a local group) Madame X Vesta Williams The Deele The Barkays All the ex Prince protegees and their productions. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Man, I can't remember the name of a one-hit wonder whose song ended with something like "She's all that & a big of chips".
That song definitely Prince/ Minnie-sound. | |
