Ac (Expanded Edition)

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of this album from the R&B singer/songwriter and former Prince sideman. Includes previously unreleased material. By 1981, 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, Adam Ant, Jermaine Stewart and Lalah Hathaway.
