Most of Jesse Johnson's hits first come to mind.

I also really liked Rosie Gaine's version of Bob Marley's Turn Your Lights Down Low.

I tend NOT 2 like songz unless Prince is involved!

Doesn't he/she every got tired of the same crap?

I'm serious

GaryMF said:

No,as a matter of fact,I don't.

Sheila--Whatcha Gonna Do (and her cover of Lady Marmalade is great)
Wendy and Lisa--The Life is sweet, and I love the vocals. Still, Everything But You is my favorite. Such an incredible song.

sexxydancer said:

Well it's annoying and rude that anytime brings up an associated artist all you ever do is make in irrelevant post saying "Prince is better by himself" etc.

GaryMF said:

Oh,well.....he just is!

By the time Sheila did Sex Cymbal did prince have any involvement still? i liked that track

datdude said:

Don't think there's any prince involvement on the album...her self-titled album is was the last time he contributed any material.

"Mechanical Emotion" by Vanity with Morris Day (1984)
"Cry Baby" by Sheila E (1991)
"Love Is A Game" by Morris Day (1987)
"She (I Can't Resist)" by Jesse Johnson (1986)
"Intimacy" by St.Paul (1986)
"Pretty Wild Girl" by Andre Cymone (1985)
"Book Of Love" by Andre Cymone (1985)

I like Rhonda's albums. I play them a lot. They're mellow and smooth.

Yeah, but your routine is getting old...

Don't pay 'em no mind. We luv ya sexxy!

i started to list Mechanical Emotion, it's a fave, but for some reason it has Prince written all over it to me. maybe the influence is just that strong and he had nothing to do with it all.

sitruk7 said:

Thanx 2 both of u!

"Free World", "Baby Lets's Kiss (remix)", and "Crazay" by Jesse Johnson are amazingly great songs. In fact, I'd put "Crazay" on par with the best Prince material - and I don't say that lightly.

datdude said:

"Mechanical Emotion" definitely has that Minneapolis Sound.

Partyup
Do me baby

Wendy & Lisa: "Everything but You," "Balance," "All I Wonder/Anyway", "If I Were Brave."

Susannah Melvoin: "Violets"

Ingrid Chavez: Any her contributions on David Sylvian's Dead Bees on a Cake album.

Jill Jones: "You Do Me," w/ Ryuichi Sakamoto

Should have seen that one coming a mile away!

Sheila E. "Alice" "Sex Cymbal" "Whatcha Gonna Do"
Ta Mara "Excite My Life"
Morris Day "Love Sign"
Jill Jones "You Do Me" and the entire "TWO" album
Wendy & Lisa "Everything But You" "Mother Of Pearl"

morris Day-oak tree
morris Day-color of success (prince wasn't in that was he?)
dez dickerson-modernaire (was prince involved in the creation of this'un? I know it was featured in purple rain but it's on Dez's album Retrospective right? If I'm not right do tell)

I'm a big Jesse Johnson fan!

I wanna hear some more rock. I liked Jesse's earlier stuff, but he really had me at "Bare My Naked Soul" We need as much black rock as we can get.

LQ

Most songs by Andre Cymone, Jesse Johnson, and Morris Day.....except for that damn "Guaranteed" album and the last album Morris did about 2 or 3 years ago with the four shit hop tracks.

Are you referring to the song that goes something like "Alice through the looking glass..... Come and see Alice play..." or something like that?

Becuase I know Sheila performs a song like this live (at Celebration and at Family Jamm) but I could never find out what this song is or where it is from.

I once posted on here but no one knew. Is it a cover?
