Agree. Not only good 12", extended versions, but excellent music videos. Millions of people have said it, but I will say it anyway. I MISS THE 80'S!!!

@Zaqwsx Zaqwsx...that's because it was co-written by Andre Cymone who was a member of Prince's Revolution for a few years before going solo.

Bonus Baby yeah and I know it was produced by David Z and Wendy plays guitar on it, but if you listen closely there are so many elements taken directly from official Prince tracks on the recording and the guitar licks sound so similar to kiss and nothing Cymon has ever recorded sounded anything like this. It’s just way way way too similar to prince. I would bet this is another Prince gift.

This does like it has more Prince involvement than we're led to believe

Orlondo Ruth absolutely. There are many unique elements straight out of other Prince tracks from this era. Instrumental and production wise.

Clearly influenced by Prince...nothing wrong with that at all!

MANE!!!

It's up there om my list as well

Jody herself stated Andre Cymone wrote the song. Rumor has it that Wendy played the guitar on this song....

@@captainmorgan5449 - Prince has done stuff for other Artists that we had no Clue he wrote or Produced. This is just another example. Now tell me another Song that Andre has done that is this Funny 🤔?..... I'll be waiting.

@@foodforthought872 Hey...I am just stating what has been documented and rumored. You may well be right. Prince wrote a lot of music. I don't know Andre cymone personally or the limit of his musical prowess. Anyway... judging what is funky is subjective. Some folks may think Andre Cymone's (Surviving in the 80's) is funkier than the Dance Electric...I don't believe that but I can't force anyone to believe it. Stay safe out there....

@@captainmorgan5449 - You and your Family stay safe also.

@@foodforthought872 Thank you...

That is an insightful comparison. I have always just chalked up her vocals the fact she was doing an Andre Cymore recording just like he sang it for her.

Detroitblue, they had written this song with this intention of Jody and Grace, duetting on it. Hence the reason why Jody song’s part of it, in that lower register.

Oh okay. How do you know this? It just seems so hard to believe anyone would think a duet with Grace is a good idea in America . Grace is a niche performer, an iconic personality but not really a hot commodity. I will look for the connection of these two ladies, I just never imagined such.

Detroitblue, she said so in an interview years ago. Why is it so hard to believe? Grace is one of the people she admired. Why wouldn’t that be one of her dreams? Keep in mind, nothing ever came of it. Just a great song.

I can only tell you it is news to me. I follow music and I followed Jody's career pretty closely and have listened to many interviews. Also was also intrigued by Grace Jones since from way back when she took that Iconic photo shoot with brother. You know the one where they were standing naked face to face looking like mirror images of each other except for his big dangling dick. Speaking of Grace, I was the first person in my circle to rock that acclaimed Slave to the Rhythm LP. One last thought on Jody. I always thought it was a mistake when she started pushing for respect as a serious vocalist instead of a Dance Diva. She really was not a great singer but neither was Madonna or Janet Jackson. I wish she would have just pushed further to be that dance diva kind of an Icon.

Seriously?? You think vocally Jody could match Whitney? Lets not be delusional. Whitney is in a league all by herself vocally. I adore Jody. But to put her against Whitney is sacrilegious.

Everybody had their own lane. Enough room to love them all!

Absolutely. They can deny it all they want, but this track screams Prince and his production

True its got that purple dust all ovet it

Dude Andre Cymone is the Prince that got away. They were forged from the same thing and both play multiple instruments. It is not Prince you hear it is Andre being Andre. But Dance Electric is this song on steroids.

@@Detroitblue OMG I was just leaving a message for someone else saying the exact same thing you said. People don't understand that Andre and Prince created the Minneapolis sound. They were the ones competing against each other when they lived together! And you're right everything Prince would do Andre could do! I never understood why Andre never got his shine like he was supposed to get. He would be the man to go to now for music. All the producers and arrangers should look up to him since Prince is gone♥️👍

@@qwertyzxaszc6323 Andre is being himself trust me bro👍
