 Notes  
     Before hard funksters like Prince and The Time hit the national
     stage, before groundbreaking alternative rockers Husker Du and The
     Replacements, Minneapolis was barely a blip on America's musical
     radar - that is, until Lipps, Inc. broke out with one of disco's
     most monumental singles, the number one smash "Funkytown". The
     brainchild of producer/songwriter Steven Greenberg, Lipps, Inc.
     (meant to be pronounced as a pun on lip sync) wound up as one-hit
     wonders, but that one hit still stands as one of disco's all-time
     classics.
     Its computerized feel and lean, spare arrangement contrasted sharply
     with the perceived excesses of most disco music, yet its longing for
     escape (specifically, from Minneapolis, whose music scene was still
     in its infancy) fit the spirit of the era perfectly, sending it to
     the top of the charts for a full month in 1980.
     Featuring vocals by Cynthia Johnson, "How Long" was released as a
     single off Lipps, Inc's second album "Pucker Up" from 1980.
