I use to love The System! I have theis album somewhere but Don't Disturb This Groove was a favorite but I had my keyboard andn fake microphone stand to do You're In My In My System. Met Mic Murphy chomping down in Junior's in Brooklyn a million years ago.
Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off

"You are in my system" is the joint. But, I'm really not crazy about the title cut from the movie "Coming to America". (I love the movie, though.)

David Frank went on to become a film composer. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006080/

When I was interning at Westlake Audio Studios, David came in to work on the "I'll Do Anything" project, which at that time still featured Prince's songs. He produced several sessions with both a children's choir (on "WOW") and Tracey Ullman (on "Don't Talk To Strangers") until the word came that the musical idea was being 're-thought'. Nice guy too. I still remember the thrill of touching the actual 2" master tapes of Prince & The NPG's versions of the songs that were going to be on the soundtrack. I was such an unabashed geek, then. Now I'm more...abashed.

People forget their underated (and then dated) 1989 album "rythem and romance"!


"wicked" and"face the music" slam very hard and "midnight special" is a classic slow jam! "i wanna be your lover" is funky too!


I liked "coming to america" song.....very upbeat and fun to dance too!

My favorite joints are "Soul To Soul" and "Have Mercy". Absolutely excellent tracks! Love the syncopated synth bass!

Love & Light,
