Dirty Mind

Contemporary R&B
Contemporary R&BDance-popFunk

Dirty Mind is a Contemporary R&B and Dance-pop act. Their catalogue also touches Funk. Their sound grew out of Rick James, Elvis Costello, Kool & The Gang, The Clash and Ramones. Those roots explain a lot about how Dirty Mind arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as L.A. Style, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Jimi Hendrix, Cyndi Lauper, Ready For The World, Fine Young Cannibals and John Lennon, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 17 connections around Dirty Mind, reaching back through Rick James and forward to Jimi Hendrix.
