Brown Mark???

Anyone know what he is up to these days? Is he still involved with the music business? The guy was such a badass bass player.
the music knows what your motives are when you are making it

listen to The Replacements - its good for the soul

Mark Brown was really the only Bassist 4 Prince that could lay down the "Minneapolis Bass", and capture Prince's own feel in the bass lines.

Rhonda came close.

Sonny had a different style altogether.

So did Levi.

Josh is just solid in his own right... and versatile.

Yep. I myself have said this very thing a million times on here. Loads of folks on here don't ever give Mark his props on here. I just chalk it up to the fact that many on here seems to not be that familiar with Prince's material pre ATWIAD.

That is likely the reason.

I would pick Mark Brown as my personal favourite Bassist with P just based on that. Also, Mico was my fav guitarist, because his funk was right on with the feel.

I AGREE BROWN MARK WAS UNDERATED. PRINCE ONCE SAID HE WOULD ELIMINATE BASS FROM HIS MUSIC IF BROWN MARK LEFT.
