Morris sang on it but it was definately Prince doing the background vocals. Even back when it first came out and Prince acted like he had no part of it, I was saying...."You a damn lie!"  Andy is a four letter word. | |

I guess so.
Great Album whatever. I didn't include The Family but It almost fits,more of a Pop record but then its also Funky, So I should have included it. I guess thats what this thread is really about funky pop music not really hardcore funk such as Parliament, Mandrill etc Also maybe the first two Egyptian Lover albums could have been included but there more Hip Hop albums maybe. | |

could someone define
"new wave" for me? when I think "new wave" I think DEVO & A Flock Of Seagulls and the previous songs I mentioned because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." | |

I think so with at least "Bomb" but that might just be P-funk not new wave. ______________________________________________

Then again, the WHOLE Morris Day persona was Prince's creation. So we really don't know the dude like we think we do. | |
