Time and Vanity 6 albums were essential to the forging of Prince's legend. They are often overlooked for their historical importance. Which is also a reason that Dez Dickerson is also overlooked. I havent read the entire thread but I bet he isnt mentioned once. He was a key contributor to the early Time and Vanity 6 projects. He contributed After Hi School on the first Time record. He did Hes So Dull on the Vanity 6 record. He also co-wrote Cool with Prince. Where would the Time be without that classic?

I have almost every album by every associated artist (first generation MPLS sound) that you can name (stop caring about WEndy and Lisa after the first couple of solo efforts), and Dez's One Man album ranks up there with many of them.
