ANDRE CYMONE NEEDS THAT DOCUMENT MOVIE ON HOW ME AND PRINCE BECAME BROTHERS OF FUNKY MUSIC
Dre cool as a fan..
Great interview,I've always wanted to hear his version of "Do Me Baby".We need that funk album ASAP.
Andre, years ago in Los Angeles outside a night club, your white limo was parked right outside, I came up to you, introduced myself and asked you if I could meet Jody, you said sure and asked me my name, I said Tony and you introduced me to her. Thanks for the experience, and by the way I am a drummer who would love to jam with you.
Andre, I always wanted to ask you! So 33 years after you wrote "Do me baby " and prince released it. What would of happen if in 82' if you released your version of the song? I know prince isn't going to beat you up, he wouldn't of sued you, because he would of lost, because so many people knew it was your song. Is it just hindsight now, can't go back? And what did prince put on the song? Keyboards maybe? Did you write all the lyrics? I don't understand why prince couldn't share credit as co/writer, if he changed an instrument from the original. I love the base in the beginning, is that your riff (written)? I love the song, and he did a great job in 1.82 NJ, although he didn't play anything on that song that night. Did you see that concert? Thanks for coming on this podcast, it's great to see you again. Wishing you the best.
Andre has got to bring it with a title like "the Resurrection of Funk" for a NEW album.
What an underrated bass player
I love Andre- he is so talented- honestly equally talented as Prince. The unfortunate part is he didn't protect himself back in the day and his friend Prince (who i love) took advantage of it. Andre had Prince's back, it sounds like no one had Andres- Even in this interview you can hear Andre stopping himself for being absolutely honest because he's still trying to respect the legend of Prince.. Love you Andre-
I enjoyed this conversation. You know what would be cool? If Andre was a host on Purple Current and allowed to just do his thing. Play whatever he wanted. Interview whoever he wanted. I think he would curate some really interesting content and it would liven things up a bit. Purple Current should be allowed to evolve.
I really appreciate Dre's honesty.
Andre💜
I wanna know what they could have done, to get kicked out of the infamous studio 54.
I was 19 back in 1981 and EYE actually did see Andre Cymone and Dez Dickerson in the touring band...That band was hands down the best band Prince ever had...It's a crying shame he didn't have that band for Purple Rain...A Waaaaaaaaaay better band...I saw Prince 5 more times after that...1999 was the last tour I saw Prince on-BEFORE Purple Rain...Andre is THE TRUTH.
I just renewed PRINCE- Controversy album CD at the library and will keep on renewing it for as long as they will allow me...lol....
