Before their official break-up, The Revolution had released one studio album, two soundtracks, and two videos. The band is known for its many members, varied in race and gender. The Revolution rose to international fame in the mid 1980s with [[Purple Rain (album)|Purple Rain]] selling over 16 million albums in the United States alone.http://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?resultpage3&tableSEARCH_RESULTS&action&title&artistPrince&format&debutLP&category&sex&releaseDate&requestNo&type&level&label&company&certificationDate&awardDescription&catalogNo&aSex&rec_id&charField&gold&platinum&multiPlat&level2&certDate&album&id&after&before&startMonth1&endMonth1&startYear1958&endYear2008&sortArtist&perPage25 RIAA Gold and Platinum Search for albums by Prince]. Retrieved on 2008 12 15 The band achieved two number-one Billboard 200 albums ([[Purple Rain (album)|Purple Rain]]and [[Around the World in a Day]], six top ten singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and won three Grammy Award . The band officially disbanded in 1986 after the Hit N Runtour, which supported [[Parade (Prince album)|Parade]] the soundtrack for [[Under the Cherry Moon]]

Early years

When Prince formed his backing band after the release of his first album, he followed in the footsteps of one of his idols, Sly Stone by creating a multi-racial, multi-gendered musical ensemble The band initially consisted of: *Dez Dickerson on guitar *André Cymone on bass guitar *Bobby Z. on Drum kit & Percussion instrument *Gayle Chapman on Keyboard instrument *Doctor Fink on Keyboard instrument Though officially unnamed, Prince experimented with the band acting as a side project known as The Rebels, recording material in 1979 in Colorado just as a side project to get more music out. The recordings were a group effort with lead vocals by Cymone, Dickerson or Chapman. The project was shelved for unknown reasons, however two of the tracks would later be re-recorded and given away by Prince. "You", became "U", and was released on Paula Abdul s [[Spellbound (Paula Abdul album)|Spellbound]]album while "If I Love U 2nite was released by both Mica Paris and Princes later wife, Mayte Garcia Paris rerecorded the song from scratch. Garcias version was rerecorded by Prince.

The Pre-Revolution

On the next two tours following the Prince Tour the band underwent two line-up changes. Gayle Chapman, who had strong religious beliefs as a member of The Way International quit the band in 1980 due to performing the sexually explicit lyrics of Princes music, furthermore she disliked having to kiss her bandleader rather suggestively during the song "Head (song) . The end came when she told Prince she planned to go on a trip with her Way group, but Prince wanted her to commit to some short-noticed rehearsals instead. After a long argument, Chapman quit the group to be replaced by Lisa Coleman (musician) lt;/ref> Coleman was usually only identified by her first name, while Fink started wearing Scrubs (clothing) on stage and became known as "Doctor" Fink. Fink originally wore a black and white stripped prison jumpsuit. However, a member of Rick James band was doing the same thing and not wanting to copy that, Prince asked Fink, "Do you have any other ideas?" Fink said, "What about a doctors outfit?" Prince loved the idea, and thus was born the Jewish surgeon known as Doctor Fink. The following year, after the Dirty Mind Tour bass guitarist André Cymone would leave the band. Cymone, whose family gave Prince a home after he left his fathers house, left over a number of grievances with Prince - little input in the studio, he wasnt getting credit for his contributions to Princes music, and in general his desire to start his own career- and would have bitter feelings toward Prince as he later claimed that Prince stole many of his ideas that were used for The Time (band) and that he created the bassline for [[Controversy (Prince album)|Controversy]]s "Do Me, Baby . Ultimately, Cymone was replaced by Mark Brown, renamed Brownmark by Prince. From 1982-1983, when the band was almost identified as The Revolution, it consisted of: *Dez Dickerson on guitar *Brownmark on bass *Bobby Z. on drums & percussion *Lisa Coleman (musician) on keyboards and piano *Doctor Fink on keyboards The words "and the Revolution" can be seen printed backwards on the cover of his fourth album [[1999 (album)|1999]] The band members were curious as to if they were getting a real name, but Prince had held back from fully calling the group The Revolution partly because of Dez Dickerson wishes to leave the band. When the 1999 Tour ended, Dez Dickerson finally left the band for religious reasons and was replaced by Lisas childhood friend Wendy Melvoin Prince told Dickerson that he needed three years from him, and Dickerson wasnt willing to commit. Prince told Dickerson hed leave him on payroll and honor his contract, which Prince did. Dickerson went on to eventually work for independent Christian record label Star Song. The Wendy & Lisa tandem shortly thereafter formed a special bond with Prince and greatly influenced his output during the rest of their tenure in the band. Princes former mostly R&B/funk offerings would be more diversified with rock, pop and european classical music elements.

Prince and The Revolution

Debut album: ''Purple Rain''

Prince and The Revolutions best-selling album, [[Purple Rain (album)|Purple Rain]]produced by Prince and The Revolution themself, peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 knocking the Bruce Springsteen s [[Born in the U.S.A.]]from the number one spot.lt;/ref> The album was released in the end of June 1984 and featured the singles "When Doves Cry , "Let's Go Crazy , "Purple Rain (song) , "I Would Die 4 U , and "Take Me with U . All the singles had accompanying music video and all charted on the BillboardHot 100 but only the first four peaked within the top 10 while "When Doves Cry" and "Lets Go Crazy" topped the chart. "When Doves Cry would become the most successful single from Purple Rainat the time of its release on the pop charts, reaching number one on the BillboardHot 100 as well as the Dance and R&B chart. The song "Purple Rain" won two Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Instrumental Composition Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or for Television. The album spent 24 weeks at number one and would eventually be certified thirteen times platinum in the United States, six times platinum in Canada and two times platinum in the United Kingdom lt;/ref>lt;/ref> Purple Rainwould become the first official appearance of The Revolution.lt;/ref> At the time of the release the band contained: *Prince (musician) on lead vocals, guitar, and piano *Brownmark on bass guitar and vocals *Bobby Z. on drums *Lisa Coleman (musician) on keyboards, piano and vocals *Doctor Fink on keyboards and vocals *Wendy Melvoin on guitar and vocals

Expansion: 1985-1986

They lasted as such through 1986s Hit N Run - Parade Tour In 1985, members of the then soon-to-be-defunct R&B/pop group The Family (band) (which, in turn, included former members of another disbanded Prince-associated group, The Time (band) joined The Revolution, along with people from Sheila E. s band. The "Counter-Revolution" line-up: *Prince on lead vocals, guitar, and piano *Wendy Melvoin on guitar and vocals *Miko Weaver on guitar *Brownmark on bass guitar and vocals *Bobby Z. on drums *Lisa Coleman (musician) on keyboards, piano and vocals *Doctor Fink on keyboards and vocals *Susannah Melvoin lt;sup>1 on backing vocals *Eric Leeds lt;sup>2 on saxophone *Atlanta Bliss lt;sup>3 on trumpet *Jerome Benton lt;sup>4, Wally Safford and Greg Brooks as dancers/vocalists/comic foils (known as The Bodyguards) For the Hit N Run - Parade Tour the augmented Revolution with its several new members began to perform the complex and jazz arrangements from the album, including the horn section #Joined via association with Sheila E. and as session guitarist for The Family. #Former member of The Family; Princes then-lover and twin sister of Wendy Melvoin. #Former member of The Family; brother Alan served as Princes then-tour manager. #Joined via association with friend and former bandmate Leeds. #Former member of The Family (band) Also, sole member of The Time (band) to join The Revolution through The Family due to the departures of Paul Peterson and Jellybean Johnson

''Unreleased Revolution Album''

[[Dream Factory (unreleased album)|Dream Factory]]was an unreleased double LP project recorded by Prince and The Revolution in 1986. Unlike the three previous The Revolution albums, the entire band contributed to most of the original tracks. The album was shelved by Prince following the dissolution of The Revolution.

Dissolution

Despite the stellar performance of the band on tour, discontent in The Revolution had been brewing and was about to reach a boiling point. Some of the original members were unhappy with all of the new additions to the band; Wendy was even bothered with the fact that Susannah, her twin, was in the band, saying "I shared a womb with this person, do I have to share a stage?" Coleman and Wendy Melvoin were also unhappy about the slapstick type antics that Prince had with the bodyguards on stage, feeling it was dismissive of the music and the band. Right before the Hit N Run - Parade Tour was scheduled to start, Brownmark and Wendy & Lisa threatened to quit. Prince dispatched Bobby Z. to the airport and literally caught Wendy Melvoin and Coleman before they boarded. Eventually all three were convinced to ride it out. Prince promised Brownmark a lot of money, but Brownmark settled for $3000 a week, a paltry sum based on other touring bands. He turned down a much more lucrative gig as bassist for Stevie Nicks, who was going on tour at that time. Brown has said that Prince never followed through on "all that money". But as the tour ended, on the final night in Yokohama, Japan, Prince smashed up all of his guitars after a final encore of "Sometimes It Snows In April". Shortly after the Paradetour in October 1986, after all the tension between Prince, Wendy Melvoin, and Coleman due to his relationship with Susannah, Prince invited Wendy Melvoin and Coleman to dinner at his rented Beverly Hills home and fired them both. Unhappy with their lack of credit and creativity, Wendy & Lisa went on to perform as a duo. Ironically, Susannah ended up leaving the Revolution too, following a hurtful breakup with Prince, and performed for a time with Wendy & Lisa as a backup singer in their band. He then called Bobby Z. to tell him that he was being replaced by the more versatile Sheila E, although he was kept on payroll for quite a few years after the fact, honoring Zs contract. Bobby Z would release a solo album in 1989. Brownmark was asked to stay but quit. Although he said it was "partly out of loyalty to the others" and also because he was "unhappy at Princes decision to return to making funk-based music", it was probably so he could concentrate on his burgeoning career as a solo artist and as a record producer for himself and other artists.. Doctor Fink remained with Prince until 1991, when similar to the exit of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis from The Time, Matt Fink told Prince he wasnt available for two dates at the Rock in Rio festival as he was busy producing for another band at the time and found himself replaced by Tommy Barbarella However, Fink also stated in a 2001 interview that he was tired of being in the band. When Prince filmed Graffiti Bridge Prince wanted Fink to "rehearse the band" and was told that "there wasnt really anywhere in the movie for him." After the ensuing Nude Tour essentially a greatest hits-type tour, Fink left for a career writing music for video games, and working at K-Tel Records, based out of Minneapolis. Unlike his fellow bandmates Fink did not immediately release any solo material, an album not being released until 2001. In 2000 there was rumor of a reunion and a new album called Roadhouse Garden but Prince scrapped the plans after Wendy & Lisa backed out of the project. Prince asked Wendy & Lisa to come to Minneapolis to finish Roadhouse Garden Wendy & Lisa asked that Prince do the courteous thing and pay for their hotel and expenses while in Minneapolis. Prince refused, and not wanting to spend all their own money on a Prince project, they declined to work on the album. Prince would later tell people to "ask Wendy & Lisa", when asked about the status of Roadhouse Garden

Legacy

Mini-reunions of The Revolution have taken place in several forms over the past decade. In 2000, Prince had a celebration concert in his hometown of Minneapolis Minnesota and asked if any former bandmates wished to perform. Dr. Fink, Bobby Z. and Brown Mark appeared and joined Prince on stage to perform the song "America (Prince song) . On December 13, 2003, Sheila E. organized a concert for charity known as the 1st Annual Family Jamm which featured several of Princes protégés, including the entire Revolution, without Prince. They played six songs including "Mountains (Prince song) , "Purple Rain (song) , and "Baby I'm a Star . That next year, Wendy Melvoin performed a live rendition of [[Musicology (album)|Musicology]]track "Reflection" with Prince on Tavis Smiley s cable television program. At the 2006 BRIT Awards a somewhat reformed Revolution once again backed Prince, as he reunited with Wendy, Lisa and Sheila E., while also featuring former The New Power Generation member Morris Hayes and played "Te Amo Corazón (from Princes [[3121 (album)|3121]]album), "Fury (song) (also from 3121, "Purple Rain", and "Let's Go Crazy . Sheila E. played drums only on "Purple Rain", playing percussion for the rest of the songs.
