ccollin88 said:

They may have been decent but they were a terrible Prince knockoff.

dearlybeloved said:

Gotsta say that out of all the names so far, RFTW was THE BEST of y'alls "worst". DAMN!!!! Forgot about Ebonee Webb. That song "Something About You" was a Wal-Mart version of "Soft And Wet". But, then again, it makes sense. The Bar-Kays were behind that, and they RIPPED EVERYONE OFF IN THE LATE 70'S/EARLY 80'S!!!!!

Dreamboy....."Don't Go" was a K-Mart version of "Oh, Baby" by The Time. AND.....they looked like The Deele BEFORE the Deele's "Eyes Of A Stranger" LP!!!! I'm laughing my ass off at this topic!!!!!

we already decided on a recent thread it was T.C Ellis.

Easily that Maxwell or Tricky.
Maybe Michael Jackson too, as he has named two of his kids after him

The guy who was in Midnight Star's video for "No Parking On The Dance Floor"!! Anyone remember him? LOL!!

They're all hideous! How can you choose just one?????

There was a guy by the name of JAK anybody remember him?
he tried to be like Prince with his music and look but no one caught on, who knows what happen to him....they say that imatating is a form a flatery but that he was not flatering....he could not sing but I can say he could play his own instruments.....

I remember seeing his album cover in a San Francisco Towers Record store. I never heard any of his music though. So it was that bad, huh? Hahahaha. What about Juliansride? I think he's out of Chicago...has a myspace account...

I don't care what anyone here says, I bought the Julian's Ride CD and I dig it...pretty funky.

I vote for Sanandra Maythiea (a/k/a Terrence Trent D'arby).

Only for his unabashed copying of Prince.

TEMPLEOFFUNK9311 said:

Yeah,I remember him.He had that hit single "I Go Wild",which wasn't half-bad.

T.A.F.K.A.P.

ccollin88 said:

MrG said:

I agree

woogiebear said:

DREAMBOY?!? "DON'T GO"?!?!?!?!? LMFAO, I think that is the MOST SOULFUL song I've ever heard! I mean, how can women NOT MELT to lyrics like:

"So I called her up again
Just to see if she still was my friend (Check out what I said)
I said, 'Baby, I'm sorry for doing those things that I diiiiidddd.
Oooooohhhhhooooohhhhh!"

GREATEST SONG EVER.

Okay I just ordered the Juliansride cd based on your recommendation. I should have it by the weekend. I'll let you know what I think. By the way, Kip Blackshire is fantastic! For those of you who like black rock, Blackshire is as good as it gets.

While we're knocking Prince knockoffs, maybe we should tip our hats to Dez Dickerson and Andre Cymone for trying to originate their own styles. It would've been too easy for them to imitate his purple-ness...but they didn't...they're true musicians...
