MAKE IT FUNKY 3/6 (sub jp)

First guy talking on this is Alan Leeds who worked very closely with Prince from about 82 through the early 90's. I think Alan poured over Prince his experience and insight which may have influenced Prince into some new directions and listen to broader avenues like Miles Davis. Alans brother Eric was Prince's main sax guy, incredible musician, he was big on Miles. All this is so interconnected, its wild. Its FUNK.

onyxworld, any ideas who it is that says, "he put together funk, pop,rock, etc ...and "it just crossed all the lines"?

1:24 I'm gonna add some bottom,
So that the dancers a-just won't hide! I love it!

nelson george. he writes on jazz and hip-hop. he's with the village voice, i think.

thanks, onyxworld, but I went to his website and doesn'tlook like him. All the gold/platinum records in the backgroung, I think it is a famous vocalist....any other ideas?

sorry a1. i got my quotes mixed-up. the fella @ 3:34 is logan westbrooks of cbs records.

could be westbrooks, but there isn't a picture of him that looks like the man in the clip (actually, few picutes) Any other ideas?

definitely wesbrooks @ 3:34 . name translated from the japanese in the upper left. you'll notice the cbs there in roman characters. search logan westbrooks of cbs records. he was the head of urban music for cbs.

I think you are right. I looked at some picutres of him on-line. Sure is a resemblence to one or two of the photos at that web site.

not to mention that shit he dropped w/p-funk!

SLY a straight up genius.
