André Cymone: The Dance Electric

Pretty good quality video,but still from my old VHS-tapes. A DVD-release wouldn't hurt. ;)
This is from André's third album "AC" released in 1985. The song was written by Prince. I personally were into his first and second album more. Especially "Living In The New Wave" from 1982 blew me away.

Thanks for posting such a good copy! I had the pleasure of working on this video. The continuity still photograph makes everyone laugh... Now, I can send them to see the video to explain our crazy costumes!

@FizzyPopKid Ha, ha!! I think some of the beauty in these old videos are the mistakes or what we today see as a bit silly. Back in the day, I doubt I thought anything was ridiculous here. :) Have you got the continuity photos available so people ca n ee them? Did you film it?

This song would have been 10times better had Prince performed and released it. But whatever, Andre did it well. I hated when he left playing with Prince though!!

[missfunkyflyy]

@daphnerh1984 I disagree, André made the song. But, I think Prince recorded it too. Maybe he didn't release it officially, but I have a vague memory of hearing his version, perhaps on a bootleg. The folks over at prince.org would know more. :)

Whatever,,,anyone says,,,,,,,he still played with Prince. However, bands due disagree on things,,,and members find their own talents to continue in the business. Yes,,Andre put it down on this song.....

Another bad song! I have two much older brothers and neither one of them were impressed with this song.I thought they were crazy! But they did like when doves cry I guess different strokes for different folkes! That bass line is kicking!I still say they crazy!

@preo2 yeah i know my Prince and most of the people who were in his  circle at one time on the radio all you were hearing was the Minneapolis sound , Prince change music

[preo2]

@shaywatts You are correct. I have an old audio interview of Prince saying that he wrote this for Andre and gave it to him as sort of a peace offering because they had not spoken for a while after getting into it.

[Offthbadan]

Prince finger prints are all over this one. This was a pretty big hit for Andre before he gave it up to produce.

@shaywatts This song, shhh, nothing compares 2 u, screams of passion, 100 mph, a glamourous life, manic monday, the list goes on and on....

[shaywatts]

Prince wrote this song for Andre Cymone, they did not speak for awhile and he wrote it for him ( that song has Prince written all over it / Princ may have recorded it before or after but he Wrote Shhh ( tevin Campbell ) no one knew and Nothing Compares to U.

@dogkelp -- Very true.
