Thank you Mark Brown for this wonderful jam. I never tire of the song in all its incarnations. The grooves you guys spun together are incredible. They live on forever. By themselves.
You made this sound so much better imo than the album version which I didn't care for. Keep showing these millennials how it should be done old-school style! 💛❤
I dont think no other musician but you is capable of getting such an authentic "Prince" sound. That can only speak to a level of musicianship and talent comparable to his
Just tooo funky. Your rumble bass sound added so much to the songs back in the day... your style will always be underrated and under appreciated to me!! Thanks for what you do and did!!
Brown Mark, U Made “America” stand up and shake her funky ass!!! That was Soooo Fonky Bruh,so funky!!!! I broke a string on one of my air bass guitars!!!! lol 😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thanks
Besides playing tight as heck (as always), the man is clearly having fun. Thanks for making my head bob with a big smile on my face Brown Mark, stay awesome 😎🤘
I come back to this clip at least once a week and can't get enough of this. The interaction between you guys is so hairraisingly good, it just cannot be bettered. Your sound is sex and medicine in one. May you guys (continue to) have all the success you want.
Dude, when I was at any of the many Prince concerts that I've been to and y'all broke the shit down to the bare essence of the funk, as you do in this video, shit would have me jumping around like I was a maniac! The morning after one of the concerts I couldn't walk ... sprained both feet jumping around like a fool! 😲😁
MY NECK HURTS FROM ROCKING MAH BODY FROM SIDE TO SIDE!!!!!! GOOD GAWD!!!!!......BROWNMARK & THE CREW!!!!!! GOD BLESS YALL BCUZ Y'ALL FONKY!!!!!!! #freedom# #love# #joy# #peace# #andthebombgoesBOOM!!!!# #PRN4EVER!!!!!!#
Bro, I'm just seeing this video and hearing this Groove 101....Damn I'm a bassist myself and have much respect for pocket and the groove, so with that being said....DAMNNNNNN 😅😂😂
I am born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Prince IS the reason I became a professional musician ! Just wanted to state that you, Brown Mark, are the BEST performance bass player EVER !!! Bootsy and Verdine White ain't got a damn thing on you. Keep the inspiration and Funk alive !
BrownMark u must get those cats together and take this on the road! This is the closest anyone has ever got to Prince! He would be honored to hear this!💜 (Perfect Production)
AWESOME WORK MY FRIEND!!....MARK ..IT'S ME ..YOUR LONG TIME FRIEND FROM MANY YEARS AGO...MET YOU AT THE GOLD'S GYM IN ANTIOCH...WENT TO YOUR HOME..MET YOUR MOM...SAW YOUR WEDDING ALBUM...I USED TO WORK FOR NASA SPACE PROGRAM......I AM HERE IN ASIA...:).....
The jams on America are some of my favorites. I used to listen to the 21min version of America during my commute, just to zone out and keep me positive at the same time.
All the critics love you in New York. Brown Mark, you ARE the epitome of what Minneapolis funk is! You were such a huge influence on my bass playing back in the 80s. This performance sounded amazing!!!
How about a GoFundMe page for Brown Mark & Associates to get down 1 night? I’m ready. He is One of my favorite musicians that played with Prince, so I want to feel the Love & The Purple Rain coming from the Cosmos. The Purple One himself always raining supreme will be smiling down on us. R.I.P. Purple Majestic Prince👑
DAMN! THAT WAS PHUCKIN' PHAT!!!! I could hear you killing Lady Cab Driver all up in that my brother! Keep them coming! Dude! You have that grunge funk down! The thumps, slaps, picks and ghost notes kill it!!! Sheesh! I am looking for a picture I took of you at the Norfolk Scope back in the early 80s! I was in the navy and about to ship out overseas and me and a few of my shipmates came to see you guys(Prince & the Revolution), The Time and Vanity 6! Awesome show man!
@@BrownMark I have the pictures but they will not post here in the UA-cam comments section. If you are on Facebook, I will try to paste them there. If not, I will need a place to send them. Thanks!
This cat BROWNMARK is a nasty muthaplucka on that bass guitar! Just listening to and watching him throw down them greasy bass licks and grooves while he's dancing is all I funkin' need! His vocals are pretty slick as well. A great guitar solo and overall band performance. Minneapolis naked funk is in full effect!
IT IS A HONOR GETTING TO WATCH THIS MR. BROWNMARK. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE IN YOUR FACE BASS! IT IS AWESOME TO HEAR YOUR PARTS MORE UP FRONT AND THE OVERALL FEEL IS SO INTENSE ! PLEASE DO A CONCERT LIVE ONLINE AND CHARGE! I WOULD'VE PAID TO WATCH THIS ALONE! YOU ARE GREAT MAN AND THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING REAL MUSIC!
I had to leave the room. I had to stop. All I smelt wuz doo doo. 2 Damn Funky. Imma go play UNO or listen to AM radio. I wuz jumpin out my ass in here when U was jumpin. I swear I saw Prince just stand next to you. I need some wadder and a church fan. HOTT!! These new bass players don't make me wanna get betta. U DO. sorry but them neo soul brothas don't make me shake my pants. Where's my bass imma go practice. Thanks Bruh. Nucca that was some bbq, colla greens, tayta salad shh.....t
Thank you BrownMark. I didn't know the bassline on America was so tight I would like to hear the bassline on ANOTHERLOVERWHOLEINYOURHEAD. I can't find a good version of it.

@@erikmcc804 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The 5 people who disliked this are clearly devoid of Funk. This was pure Fire.
It was probably Andre Cymone and his family.......J/K.
Thank you Mark Brown for this wonderful jam.
I never tire of the song in all its incarnations. The grooves you guys spun together are incredible. They live on forever. By themselves.
The Rugged FunKin with Brown Mark… Oooohhhh YEAH!!! 🤘😝
You are the founder of Minneapolis 8 Beat Funk Bass. Respect & THANXaLOT!
You made this sound so much better imo than the album version which I didn't care for. Keep showing these millennials how it should be done old-school style! 💛❤
Yessir! Them Boys were JAMMIN'!!!! 🤘🏾
Brown Mark is the funkiest bassist Prince had in his Band other than himself.
Andre Cymone was filthy too as evident with his playing on his own albums

@@BrownMark It's so true. You are the only one who truly encompasses the Minneapolis Sound outside of Prince.
Brown Mark, as funky as he ever was! You're a national treasure, Bro!
He has played bass for anyone else but PRINCE ! No further questions.....😁
I love the linn drum clap

You can always tell Mark's bass playing. It's got that little added percussive sound to it.
