The Lewis Connection

Soul/funk Minneapolis-based band was released only one album in the Twin Cities area in 1979. The band was composed by: Sonny Thompson (2) (who would become a member of The New Power Generation many years later), and brothers Pierre Lewis (3) and André Lewis. The album contains "Got To Be Something Here", featuring Prince on background vocals and guitar, marking the first time Prince appeared on a release by another artist, on a track he did not write. Prince's contributions to "Got To Be Something Here" were recorded in late 1976 or early 1977 at Sound 80 while Prince also worked on his own tracks.
