André Cymone (August 16 1985) – A.C. Album Release
A.C. is the third and final solo album by André Cymone (who had left Prince’s band in 1981), and was released on 16 August 1985.
The album included one song written and produced by Prince, The Dance Electric, which was Prince’s first and only contribution to André Cymone’s solo studio recordings.
Prince reportedly gave him the song after Cymone’s mother asked him for a composition, although Cymone has denied this claim.
