Remember Mother's Finest??? I just hope that Prince cover one of their tunes. They remind me sooo much of him! I got the Very Best Of Mother's Finest and I just don't seem 2 get enough of it. Those guys are sooo crazy lol and I love the RnB feel mixed with the rocky tunes. Prince is the only one I could think of who did that(after them).
My fave songs from them are "Mickey's Monkey", "Give You All The Love (Inside Of Me)" and "Baby Love". I just hope they could come back again and show MTV whats the real ROCK music  anyway, whateva happend 2 them? | |

U shoud get the album Another mother further
from 1977.It´s a classic & it includes the slow jam highpoint "Thank you for the love". That´s my favourite & it´s not included on any of their compilations as far as I know. I saw them live last summer in Stockholm & they sho' kick ass live. /peace Manki | |

Their album 'Iron Age' rules!!
THAT is hard funk rock. Baby G (their singer) should be a LOT better known. There's no justice in the world. | |

I guess because it has Led Zep's "Custard Pie" guitar riff, to me the only memorable song from their Very Best Of album was their Smokey & The Miracles cover "Mickey's Monkey"...but I have heard that it only has songs from their first two albums. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

They did an aftershow gig with Prince and the NPG in 1992 in Munich after Prince's concert. Sadly no fans were allowed. With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be! And if, then I hope that I would then have wen in my environment who joins me in the A.... | |

The song is called "Too Rough".I think Prince later offered it to somebody else (one of his own acts?) but they also refused to sing it.Must have been a controversial song! | |

Harlepolis! Have 2 thanku! These guys rocked - I bought 'Black Radio Wont Play This Record*' back in '92 - and was taotally blown away by it. But until u mentioned it in your post - I'd not played it 4 years - so just dug it out, and am groovin right now  so thanx 4 reminding me! 
I did see them supporting 'Badlands' around 92/93 and they were supa kool. HIGHLY under-rated. Unfortunately, their record label dropped themn after this album* and I remember I always always hoped that Prince would do the right thing and sign them 2 Paisley - would've definatly given Paisley's label some kudos. Man - trax like: 'Like A Negro', 'Attitude (man, this really gave Guns n Roses a run 4 their money!!!) 'Power', 'Head Bangin' & Booty Shakin' - awesome! My fave was always 'Generator' - Man, she had one helluva voice! They deserved SO much more recognition than they ever got - it was a shame - they reform? Or go off and do different things? Would love 2 know what Joyce is up 2 now...
Anyone out there who aint heard this group should really do themselves a favor and try and unearth some of their stuff - try the 'net... Mother's Finest - WE MISS U!  | |

I remember one saturday morning, getting all ready for my saturday-morning-cartoons fix, when I walked in the kitchen to get a peanutbutter sandwich and then saw the mothafucking Wizzard sitting at the table having breakfast with my folks... That shit blew my mind and of course that year I begged and pleaded for a bass-guitar... And luckily got one... SHIIIT... Mother's Finest ROCKS Y'ALL! Neversin. O(+>NIИ<+)O
