the influence of Kid creole and the coconuts on the image of the time. dez dickerson had a hand, Andre cymone had a hand in it, Lisa coleman on the stick, dr fink a few parts.

you ain't ever going to get Prince to talk about it though.

never going to happen for alot of reasons and one of them is the mystique,etc. etc..

yeah they made him step up his live game no doubt.

when Prince first came out he was dancing like Mick jagger at a Ice capades party and then after the time starting doing there thing on stage, its like Prince started watching soul train and got some peep in his step.

Jam and Lewis and Jesse Johnson from late 85 through 89 were the ones keeping the Minneapolis sound alive.

ain't nothing revionist about that, because there records were just hitting more.
