The Rebels - IN NEED OF EXPERT INSIGHT!!! I know this topic has been posted/discussed here multiple times but my search brought no results.
Can someone post a history/and or link on the Rebels and a track listing of the album. I FINALLY found the songs and want to put them in the proper order with the proper historical story. [Edited 9/15/09 22:39pm] | |

The Rebels - http://en.wikipedia.org/w...The_Rebels
Before Prince formed The Time, he considered using his backing band as a side-project called The Rebels. The 1979 project was a group effort, with songs being written and sung by the various members. Andre Cymone and Dez Dickerson each contributed material and a few numbers were sung by Gayle Chapman. Instead of making something that sounded similar to his R&B solo output, Prince wanted go into more rock elements of songs such like "I'm Yours" and "Bambi". The project was eventually shelved feeling that the whole thing sounded too generic,[1] but two of the songs composed by Prince were re-recorded and released much later: "If I Love U 2 Night" by Mica Paris (and later by Prince's wife-to-be Mayte Garcia) and "U" by Paula Abdul. The original Prince guide vocal for "If I Love U 2 Nite" appeared by mistake on the rare Mica Paris 'Stand For Love' EP, of which only a handful exist. _____ The Rebels, Mountain Ears Sound Studios, Boulder, Colorado, 10 - 21 July 1979 You #1 (2:53) - lead vocal: Gayle Chapman Too Long (4:09) (Dez Dickerson) - lead vocal: Dez Dickerson Hard To Get #1 (3:24) - lead vocal: André Cymone, backing vocal: Prince Thrill You Or Kill You #2 (6:06) (André Cymone) - lead vocal: André Cymone Disco Away (4:29) (Dez Dickerson) - lead vocal: Dez Dickerson Instrumental 1 (1:05) (Dez Dickerson) - acoustic guitar & guitar sounding like synth Instrumental 2 (1:00) (André Cymone) - bass & drums If I Love You Tonight #1 (4:42) - lead vocal: Gayle Chapman Turn Me On (1:58) - lead vocal: Gayle Chapman Head #1 -Courtesy Scififilmnerd _____ See also: http://prince.org/msg/7/116565 If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

There's a typo on that.
Isn't it supposed to read: (and sadly later by Prince's wife-to-be Mayte Garcia)? | |
