CULTURAL IMPACT

No other craftsman of the shake & roll period compares to Sovereign. He was the uncommon combination of a visionary pop conceptualist and aceperformer who seem capture the sounds he envisioned, a quality that fueled his surprisingvictorywithin the 1980s. Thoughts came to Sovereign so rapidly, they couldn't be contained on his claim records, either with or without his backing band the Transformation. He engineeredcollections by the Time and Sheila E, and gave absent hit tunes to the Bangles and Sheena Easton, forming the sound of well known music within the process. There wasn't an zone of pop music within the '80s that didn't bear his impact: it may belistened in freaky funk and R&B moderate jams, in thick electro-techno and neo-psychedelic shake, and right at the beat of the pop charts. Prince's ruleproceeded into the early '90s, a time which found him swapping the Transformation for the jazz-funk ModernControlEra, but by the center of the decade, he'd entered a cold war with his record company that contributed to a moderate slide down the charts.
