St. Paul & The Minneapolis Funk All-stars

One of the best musicians to emerge from the Twin Cities, St. Paul, appeared in Purple Rain as a teenage wunderkind, playing keys with The Time on hits like "Jungle Love" and "The Bird." He was hand-picked by Prince himself to be lead singer of The Family (best known for "Nothing Compares 2 U") on Prince's Paisley Park label. In the tradition of Motown's Funk Brothers, St. Paul has assembled the who's who crew of the Minneapolis Sound with St. Paul & The Minneapolis Funk All-stars, showcasing those who wrote, produced, performed, or sung on some of the biggest hits from the heyday of electro funk-rock in the Twin Cities. The All-stars include*: Paul Peterson, Jason Peterson DeLaire, Elisa Fiorillo, Matthew Fink, Oliver Leiber, Kirk Johnson, Jelly Bean Johnson
