Our ED’s latest Re:Discovery article on @waxpoetics! Where she talks to 2 members of 80s funk band Real to Reel, produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, and Leon Sylvers III. With only 2 singles released, she finds out why their full album never happened https://t.co/qdMOzZMwSe

How did we miss this?!? 🤯 #Madhouse #Prince4Ever #ManecaLightner

[Mark Montgomery French @MrFr3nch]

I was today-years-old when I realized the video for "Parents Just Don't Understand" features the cover of @prince's secret jazz album "8", released under the name Madhouse.
How did this happen? Who was the art director? Enquiring minds wanna know.

Highly recommend reading Traveling Soul. It will leave you amazed at the depth of Mayfield’s work. Read an excerpt about the making of Superfly on https://t.co/Uw3tGv5o0c

Superfly at 50.

Saddened to hear the news of #BernardWright’s passing 🕊💔”#WhoDoYouLove” is a favourite. A huge loss to the jazz funk collective. RIP #iLoveThe80s

RIP the great Betty Mabry Davis 🥲 Married to #MilesDavis for 1yr, her presence spawned his most eclectic & expressive self. The original “Nasty Gal,” who I’m sure #Prince fashioned #Vanity6 after. Rest Easy, #BettyDavis💜🕊#FunkGoddess

Ten years ago Troy Gua shared images of Le Petit Prince on Instagram. At first, we chuckled, and then true to Prince’s mesmerising essence, we stared and basked in the details. Troy has carved out a space for LPP that is now a beloved part of Prince’s legacy. Happy Birthday, LPP!

Happy Birthday, @TheMorrisDay! Want to find out how he creates Pandemonium? “It’s in the book!” 😂😂 #MinneapolisSounds #TheCharacter

#RIP to Jamaica’s very own, #RobbieShakespeare, half of one the most prolific musical duos in history. Sly & Robbie were a pulse and frequency that permeated through our culture influencing rock, R&B, afrobeats, folk, funk, disco, & pop. A true icon today. We thank you 🙏🏽🇯🇲
