Mind & Matter were a soul and funk band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Formed during the '70s, they're most notable for featuring a young <a href="spotify:artist:6NmPMyICMSGIyNDkDZwfbT">James Harris</a> before the keyboardist, songwriter, and arranger became known as <a href="spotify:artist:4ZaXj4ZrqscgpfqJolMfib">Jimmy Jam</a> of <a href="spotify:artist:1EgGVV9cmmlLEsFlunjmvv">the Time</a>, and as one-half of sovereign R&B production duo <a href="spotify:artist:11kaQ3GPi3BPDYH18aL1nX">Jam & Lewis</a>. With roots in acts such as the Casanovas, Wars of Armageddon (which featured <a href="spotify:artist:6NmPMyICMSGIyNDkDZwfbT">Harris</a> and longtime creative partner Terry Lewis), and Paradise, Mind & Matter self-released a 7" single inspired by Philly soul, "I'm Under Your Spell" b/w "Sunshine Lady," in 1977. The band, whose membership swelled to 11 instrumentalists and singers, gigged around the Midwest and opened for <a href="spotify:artist:4XeVhjTp485r7duDSL3PmU">Pleasure</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4KzfI3D3E4Sj4khfuceLi2">Faze-O</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:5jWuVnPLmjABrgCGianzs9">Brass Construction</a>, but they broke up in 1980. In October 2013, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Numero%22">Numero</a> issued 1514 Oliver Avenue (Basement), a compilation of sessions recorded at the home of vocalist Lawrence Brown. Shortly after that, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Numero%22">Numero</a> released the compilation Purple Snow: Forecasting the Minneapolis Sound, which contained both sides of the 1977 single, along with material from the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:0Vl8HhdQAUi6sJfNQuZHQL">94 East</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6NmPMyICMSGIyNDkDZwfbT">Harris</a> and Lewis' Flyte Tyme, <a href="spotify:artist:4Q4CRlCreilk0EN0myk5Jh">André Cymone</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:047D9GgqEzyMoULd2oKr7G">Alexander O'Neal</a>. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
