the greatest thang about mazarati is they were Minneapolis hardest funk band...and just like all the other bands?...they danced to their songs... they really should have been more popular than they were...but no matter....i love em anyway😃
I'm from Mpls. The Mpls sound is unique, but never became a thing. Mainly associated with early Prince and the Time (Prince's side project). You had on the opposite side of the spectrum Hoosker du, Teh Replacements, Soul Asylum, etc... that are considered the Mpls sound.
for all the people saying that the lead singer sucked, how could they suck when they were known for putting on hot shows back in the day. I loved mazarati as a little boy and still do......
I remember when they came to Dallas, and they were doing an outdoor concert, and about 2 songs in, a thunderstorm blew in and they cancelled the rest of the show.... but they were bringing it, of the short time they performed.... they were loud and badass, even in all that paisley...lol
They were pretty talented, though. Prince gave them 'Kiss', then when he heard their version, he took it back...but he left their background vox on his record. Two of the guys (forgive me for not knowing which ones) formed a production team called 'The Wild Pair', and did the male vocals on Paula Abdul's 'Opposites Attract'
I have the album on vinyl, bought it the day it came out in 86. Good music, every song has a good hook. That being said it was largely ignored by pop radio and R&B radio. Still a very good album though. The truth is though , the album did not have any hits as far as radio went.
I think it's mostly due to the fact that they came late up on the sound, well at least released the album a year too late. 1986, people have moved on a bit from that sound and look.
Prince was so busy trying to get the "under the cherry moon " movie done as well as focusing more attention on his new band" the family" he let mazarati fall through the cracks...
For those who want to listen to the album I published it on an odysee channel you will just have to search for mazarati and normally you will see the 8 tracks of the album appear in better quality but it remains a vinyl copy. And I will put the original uncompressed source in description later. Good listening
probably not, by the time Mazarati came about Morris was well into his solo carreer... Brownmark was the one behind Mazarati, as far as choreography that was mostly Prince wanting the band to move and dance together, like the revolution, The Time, and like Sheila E's band... watch how they all moved in sync...
@@christophermackinnon2724 Boss, your writing is terrible. Even with the 'clarification', still can't make sense of what you're trying to say. That's why there is proper language: so people can communicate and convey ideas. Writing matters.
@@christophermackinnon2724 "They did the first version of 'Kiss'. It was that good. Prince took it from them". I'm guessing this is what you were going for.
mano a mano not really nothing wrong with my language , just dont spend all day on here , was only respecting the band and prince , if you cant understand that prince took the song well not my fault to be fair bit rude of you ,
