94 East - "If You See Me"

 



I bet you didn't know about this..... you know the one and only legend Prince. well there was this band called 94 East which was a Minneapolis-based funk group formed in December 1975 by Pepe Willie, the former husband of Prince's cousin. Willie was one of the people responsible for getting Prince's career up and running, and soon enlisted the talents of a young Prince and his childhood best friend, André Cymone. Prince also composed one song for them, "Just Another Sucker". The band disbanded when Prince became a star in his own right. The 94 East recordings were recorded between December 1975 and February 1979. 94 East was named after Interstate 94. I found this out on Wikipedia and also found a song that featured Prince.  I love this sound.  I give this song two thumbs way the hell up!! Enjoy!!
