Prince started his reign in the late 70's but it wasn't until the early 80's where he really started to change the landscape ditching industry funk standards like horn sections and drum for synthesizers and drum machines. The influence of the emerging New Wave scene also came into play on his sonic palette creating something called the Minneapolis Sound. This sounds permeated throughout the R&B pop world with some heavy-duty mimicking. I thought it'd be fun to explore some of these artists who clearly where more than just inspired by Prince...and in some cases very well-known talents who also got bit by the Prince's Minneapolis Funk bug!

Thanks for this concept program. Anyone watch the 60 Minutes program on Princes musical output? Pretty good. Can't help thinking that Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna and myself were all born within a few months of each other, 1958..

yeah it's a fascinating time where bands like Cameo who were like an 8 piece with a horn section trimmed down to a synth heavy trio

Your show has been a revelation to me: I had no idea that so many groups took the Prince sound and ran with it, hard. Thx, U1K, for that thought to ponder.
Avatar 1:45pm
Ursula1000:

sounds about right Mr Fab---I think Earth Wind and Fire were one of the few from that era that still kept it as a larger group--then again, the EWF horn section is something you can't replace w a synth!

the perfect sister show to this would be the influence of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis of The Time and their production influence which is possibly bigger than Prince on the Soul landscape of the mid to late 80s. Though Prince would probably claim they're just ripping HIM off!
