[@nathancooper4206]

[@DR.BASSandTheExperiment]

The Rugged FunKin with Brown Mark… Oooohhhh YEAH!!! 🤘😝

[@davidlynch9944]

Brown Mark is the world's best bass player in my opinion and the best Prince had

[@petertrotman7708]

The 5 people who disliked this are clearly devoid of Funk. This was pure Fire.

[@andrewfranklin2389]

It was probably Andre Cymone and his family.......J/K.

[@n10sellc39]

I love the linn drum clap

[@d.c.2916]

Dammit man....that's some serious CRAZY STANK-FUNK on that Warwick...AMERICA!!!

[@AkiraIkuma]

You are the founder of Minneapolis 8 Beat Funk Bass. Respect & THANXaLOT!

[@vintagemoods]

Thank you Mark Brown for this wonderful jam. I never tire of the song in all its incarnations. The grooves you guys spun together are incredible. They live on forever. By themselves.

[@Ramal4umusic]

Brown Mark, as funky as he ever was! You're a national treasure, Bro!

[@Iguatemy70]

He has played bass for anyone else but PRINCE ! No further questions.....😁

[@robmyers932]

The reason that you're cool is cuz you're from the old school and they know it. Too sweet.

[@krewdemolishun]

I dont think no other musician but you is capable of getting such an authentic "Prince" sound. That can only speak to a level of musicianship and talent comparable to his

[@BrownMark]

🙏🏾

[@christophermannmanno6318]

​@@BrownMark It's so true. You are the only one who truly encompasses the Minneapolis Sound outside of Prince.

[@izona4838]

Now this the kind of stuff they need to play on radio.

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

Thats a party.

[@RJNumber45]

Funkier than a pot of cooked broccoli left out on the stove for 2 weeks

[@MrPlayfilms]

[@kennycrockett8202]

Thumpin and poppin bass, Brown Mark is helping keeping the Funk alive

[@MarkShihadeh]

[@onyxsafira2813]

You made this sound so much better imo than the album version which I didn't care for. Keep showing these millennials how it should be done old-school style! 💛❤

[@rastaman1017]

If I can only get my bass to rumble like that , of all Prince bass players none can touch this man

Brown Mark is the funkiest bassist Prince had in his Band other than himself.

Andre Cymone was filthy too as evident with his playing on his own albums

[@clist9406]

Kept waiting for Prince to jump in , Damn we miss Prince. RIP my brother

[@robertozapata9435]

I am born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Prince IS the reason I became a professional musician ! Just wanted to state that you, Brown Mark, are the BEST performance bass player EVER !!! Bootsy and Verdine White ain't got a damn thing on you. Keep the inspiration and Funk alive !

[@RJNumber45]

Verdine White is my favorite bass player of all time, and you aint lying!

[@vintagemoods]

I come back to this clip at least once a week and can't get enough of this. The interaction between you guys is so hairraisingly good, it just cannot be bettered. Your sound is sex and medicine in one. May you guys (continue to) have all the success you want.

[@gothamknight2700]

That "TURN AROUND" is too funky!! 🔥🔥🎶🎶🔥🔥

[@kevin-towler6091]

That shit’s funky enough to make a grown man cry...

[@franklinwilliamsjr9041]

[@tonybarnes2920]

The jams on America are some of my favorites. I used to listen to the 21min version of America during my commute, just to zone out and keep me positive at the same time.

[@miro115]

'wait a minute' ...and on and on and on and on.. Just cool 🎸🎼🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶

[@MickeyJaymz]

That double snare on the two lets you know it's a Prince tune. Bobby Z influence. Go Brown Mark, Go Brown Mark, Go Brown Mark! YEEAAAH!

[@williamhaynes1032]

Yessir! Them Boys were JAMMIN'!!!! 🤘🏾

[@nathancooper4206]

The Revolution needs to do a Natoinal tour......The Prince fans will come.

[@c3d266]

It's serious ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@abuhasam]

Funk Incarnate ! That’s the truth... your skills are powerful my brother and the band embodies spirit of funk

[@bigmoneygrifff203]

Dude, when I was at any of the many Prince concerts that I've been to and y'all broke the shit down to the bare essence of the funk, as you do in this video, shit would have me jumping around like I was a maniac! The morning after one of the concerts I couldn't walk ... sprained both feet jumping around like a fool! 😲😁

[@BrownMark]

Me too 😆

[@ABN6565]

You still the best fam!! But zIn just love each an every one of y'all. You and Prince had that connection that's important as h***

[@chriso8193]

Man, that was tight. America is a hidden gem and those deep, back door bass licks always fit....Pan-Jam-ic!!!

[@DJ2Legit007]

All the critics love you in New York. Brown Mark, you ARE the epitome of what Minneapolis funk is! You were such a huge influence on my bass playing back in the 80s. This performance sounded amazing!!!

[@imaniameniel4916]

Funky as hell. Some where in heaven young skipper is smiling 😃

[@angelloveit]

AWESOME SESSION, STAY TUNE:D & BELOVE:D❣💋

[@joeyday576]

You can always tell Mark's bass playing. It's got that little added percussive sound to it.

[@jjzel69]

Mark, this made me "put a smile on my face." Thank u sir!

[@andreswaringer1476]

The thumps, slaps, picks and ghost notes kill it!!! Sheesh! I am looking for a picture I took of you at the Norfolk Scope back in the early 80s! I was in the navy and about to ship out overseas and me and a few of my shipmates came to see you guys(Prince & the Revolution), The Time and Vanity 6! Awesome show man!

[@BrownMark]
