'Don't Let Him Fool Ya' -> 'Everybody Dance' by Ta Mara and the Seen

.

Would it seem that Jesse Johnson "borrowed"/"recycled"/"referenced" some of the structure from the former for the latter?

.

There appear to a number of clear similarities, albeit assimilated to post-PR mid-80s genericized Jesse Johnson production of course.

.

One other tidbit on Ta Mara (Margie Cox) just found that I never knew...

Cox is a long-time associate of the singer Prince and his band The New Power Generation. In the early 1990s, she recorded more than 25 songs with Prince for a band to be called M.C. Flash, although the album was never released.

Margie Cox was also prohibited from releasing music for years because she was under contract with Prince, yet Prince couldn't be arsed to release anything they worked on. All that happened at the same time Prince was bitching about WBR and writing "slave" on his cheeck.

.

Just so you'd get a little perspective on how serious Prince was about "artist rights" back in those days.

Well. if true, not good!...but I believe/hope he's done some soul searching since those days (?) which we all can benefit from doing, make positive changes within ourselves/lives as we grow.

She also did an interview a little while ago stating that left the project on the advice of her mgmt and that was a mistake on her part. Do your research.

The MC Flash stuff has been circulating for decades, so look out for that if you're interested in it smile

Still doesn't change the fact that Prince didn't grant her what he demanded from WBR. Remember "CON-tract" and all that?
