◇ image via WikipediaManchild
Manchild is a Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of Braille. Those roots explain a lot about how Manchild arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as S.O.S. Band, Blue Magic, L.T.D., Weldon Irvine and Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Isley Brothers, Bette Midler, Babyface, Aretha Franklin and Patti LaBelle, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 45 connections around Manchild, reaching back through Braille and forward to The Isley Brothers. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
