1987 - Georgio and Madame X Just browsed through my vinyl collection, and in a section I vaguely classified as "somehow Prince-inspired" I saw two LPs I bought in 1987 and remembered I played them quite often:
I know Georgio is not well-liked by some around here, but I loved both these records as a 16 year old - thought they were wild.
What do you think - anyone here also fans?

Madame X was put together and produced by Bernadette Cooper from Klymaxx, so of course it has Prince influence all over it. She was always the female Morris Day, to many. " don’t really care so much what people say about me because it is a reflection of who they r." | |

I love the Madame X album.It's extremely funky,bold and edgy.One of the best R&B albums of the late 80s.Very underrated. | |

Still have both my CDs. Great late 80s music. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

I did like Georgio, but listening now his songs and instrumentations are extremely simple. I hear that with a lot of these by Prince infleunzed artists. | |

Georgio ...wow...yeah, did like that album. Bedrock, Sex Appeal, Tina Cherry...all Prince. I feel like I have seen a picture of Georgio at Paisley Park....what was the connection?
Does anyone remember, Clayton Savage? Back in 1988...I saw this cover ...looking all like Prince starting str8 into the camera. Then I flipped it around and see the guy with a guitar....IT HAD TO BE LIKE PRINCE!!!!! I bought it and it sounded like Jesse's voice.....until you get to Virgin Lover...ALL PRINCE man! That falsetto....just overboard Prince.

"Cherries In The Snow" by Madame X.......GOOSEBUMPS!!!! I do believe They were Proteges of Bernadette Cooper (of Klymaxx). THAT is who should by now have done a Duet w/Morris Day: Miss Bernadette Cooper!! | |

in 1988,there were plans for a second Madame X album but unfortunately,it never materialized.Teena Marie (a close friend of Bernadette Cooper) mentioned that she was gonna contribute a track or two. | |
