And the award for longest running bandmember goes to... Eric Leeds 
almost twenty years now.. Wasn't Dr. Fink on the purple bus through Lovesexy? That's only roughly a decade. Geez.. it's hard to believe an artist can go from "Baby" to "Anna Stesia" in 10 years. Go'on Prince. [This message was edited Sat Jan 31 15:46:20 PST 2004 by marcdeondotcom] | |

You're counting Eric as having given 20 years service as a band member ? That seems a little generous. It's fair to see he showed his face occasionally when he wasn't a regular feature of the NPG but there were years when he simply wasn't a band member.
Here's a list that was compiled on a.m.p in early 2002 that needs updating, but it gives an idea of who was in the band and when: Eric comes way down the list. Dr. Fink (1978-1990) 13 years Keys Bobby Z (1978-1986) 9 years Drums Kirk Johnson (1990-1993) and (1996-2000) 9 years Drums/percussion Mr. Hayes (1993-2001) 9 years Keys Lisa Coleman (1979-1986) 8 years Keys Michael B (1989-1996) 8 years Drums Levi Seacer Jr. (1987-1993) 7 years Bass / Guitar Dez Dickerson (1978-1983) 6 years Guitar Brownmark (1981-1986) 6 years Bass Tommy Babarella (1991-1996) 6 years Keys Sonny T (1991-1996) 6 years Bass Rhonda Smith (1996-1998) (2000-02) 6 years Bass Miko Weaver (1986-1990) 5 years Guitar Mayte (1992-1996) 5 years Dancer Mike Scott (1996-2000) 5 years Guitar Andre Cymone (1978-1981) 4 years Bass Wendy Melvoin (1983-1986) 4 years Guitar Eric Leeds (1986-1988) (1996) 4 years Horns Tony M (1990-1993) 4 years Rap Damon D (1990-1993) 4 years Dancer Atlanta Bliss (1986-1988) 3 years Horns Cat (1987-1989) 3 years Dancer Boni Boyer (1987-1989) 3 years Vocal / Keys Sheila E (1987-1989) 3 years Drums Rosie Gaines (1990-1992) 3 years Vocal / keys Kat Dyson (1996-1998) 3 years Guitar Gayle Chapman (1978-1979) 2 years Keys Wally Safford (1986-1987) 2 years Dancer Greg Brooks (1986-1987) 2 years Dancer DJ William Graves (1992-1993) 2 years DJ NPG Hornz/Hornheadz (1992-1993) 2 years Horns Marva King (1998-99) 2 years Vocal Larry Graham (1999-2000) 2 years Bass Geneva (2000-01) 2 years Dancer Kip Blackshire (2000-01) 2 years Vocal / keys Najee (2000-01) 2 years Horns John Blackwell (2001- 02) 2 years Drums Jerome Benton (1986) 1 year Dancer Diamond (1992) 1 year Dancer Pearl (1992) 1 year Dancer Renato Neto (2002) 1 year Keys (It doesn't include Estaire Godinez.
