Ac (2cd Deluxe Edition)

Der ehemalige Prince-Mitstreiter machte seit 1981 solo weiter mit seiner Vision von Minneapolis-Gospel, Funk und R&B. Dieses Funky Town Groove 2xCD Reissue von "A.C." enthält 23 Bonustracks, von denen 11 bisher unveröffentlicht sind. By 1981, though, relations between Prince and Cymone had become strained, and Cymone seized the opportunity to go solo at Columbia and spread the Minneapolis gospel of funk and steamy R&B. A.C. followed 1982's Livin' in the New Wave and 1983's Survivin' in the '80s, and became Cymone's greatest success largely on the strength of a song gifted him by his old friend. "The Dance Electric" was written and produced by Prince, and scored Cymone a Top 10 R&B hit. Unfortunately, Cymone didn't build on the moderate success of the single - at least, not as a solo artist. He moved into the realm of production, producing and writing for artists including his then-wife Jody Watley (including her smash No. 2 pop single, 1987's "Looking for a New Love"), Adam Ant, Jermaine Stewart and Lalah Hathaway. More recently, Cymone released a digital single in support of Barack Obama's second campaign for the U.S. presidency,
