I would love to, but apathy prevents me from really exploring trivial music factoids. Seeing as you began this thread, enlighten us plebeians with your vast knowledge. It's worth two cents for you

ANY OF THESE NAMES RING A BELL.....http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Palms/9855/Lipps.html

SECOND HE'S PLAYING THE GUITAR IN THE BACKGROUND NOW PAY UP OR TURN OF YOUR COMPUTER YOU DONT KNOW SHIT.

Yeah I think the lead singer on Funky Town was on Flyte Time records and then got signed to Morris Day's Enterprise label, or something like that. I think it's a 6 degrees of seperation thing

Touchy, touchy you so seennnsitive. It's Rakim if you care or bother learning to spell correctly. And you are as real as your little avatar. The B.E.P's sang "Where is the luv?", answer please!!

I don't think prince played on this song. I thought i remember hearing he had a crush on cynthia johnson or something. I do know she was in flyte time before lipps,inc.

the fall of 1978, he joined Prince's band, which would later be named the Revolution. Fink toured the world, rubbing shoulders with members of the Rolling Stones, jamming with Eric Clapton, hanging out with Bruce Springsteen and Sting, and -- of course -- collaborating with Prince on albums including Dirty Mind, Controversy, Purple Rain, Around the World in a Day, Parade, and Sign O' the Times. He co-wrote the songs “Dirty Mind,” “Computer Blue,” “America,” “17 Days,” and “It’s Gonna Be a Beautiful Night,” and also performed session work for The Time (1982), Lipps, Inc. (1982), The Jets (1986), and Mad House (1987).

According to Prince Unauthorized, P was Pissed that Lipps Inc had a funk hit coming out of Minne and he didn't at the time.

This thread is fucking lame and your obnoxious and pompous tone does not really help matters. Why write the following nonsense: “SECOND HE'S PLAYING THE GUITAR IN THE BACKGROUND NOW PAY UP OR TURN OF YOUR COMPUTER YOU DONT KNOW SHIT”? Weak man. Just not very cool.
