Singer extraordinaire/keyboardist Boni Boyer passed away on this day in 1996. After playing with childhood buddy Sheila E in 1986, she was recruited to join the post-Revolution ensemble. She was such a delightful addition to Prince’s band. She brought a very different energy than Lisa Coleman and her gospel-y contributions to that lineup's sound were fantastic. 💜 #musicalinspirations #gonetoosoon #BoniBoyer #Prince #Lovesexy88 https://www.instagram.com/p/ClxIHuUriGF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On this day (September 18th) in 1988, my boys and I witnessed the amazing Lovesexy '88 concert at the Rosemont Horizon outside of Chicago. Prince and his remarkable band put on one of his most stunning tours of his career. The music was brilliantly executed. The stage set and lighting was masterfully designed by Roy Bennett. The wardrobe was incredible, designed by Helen Hiatt. One of the best concert experiences of my life. 💜🎶🎼 #musicalinspirations #Prince #Lovesexy88 #drfink #sheilae #boniboyer #leviseacerjr #catglover #mikoweaver #ericleeds #atlantabliss #realmusicians #genius https://www.instagram.com/p/Ciq8NijMMyU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The smoking keyboard rigs of the Lovesexy '88 Tour. Matt Fink played a Fairlight CMI IIX, two Yamaha KX88 controllers, a Prophet VS, and a Yamaha DX7. Boni Boyer's setup consisted of a Roland D-50, Yamaha DX7, an Ensoniq ESQ-1(a personal favorite), and a tried & true Hammond B3 organ. Their offstage racks included E-mu Emax samplers, Roland MKS-20 piano modules, Roland D-550 synth modules, and more goodies. DOPE!!! 🔥🎹🎶🎼💜 #musicalinspirations #Prince #Lovesexy88 #drfink #boniboyer #keyboardist #keyboardgeek #keyboardporn #backinthaday https://www.instagram.com/p/ChOO0dgs-4u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of my top albums from His Royal Badness. It was so adventurous artistically. You can hear his expanding musical vocabulary. Having Eric Leeds, Sheila E, Boni Boyer, Levi Seacer Jr, Atlanta Bliss, Mico Weaver, and Dr. Fink with him made things even more interesting. 💜🎶🎼✝️ #musicalinspirations #Prince #Lovesexy88 Reposted from @prince On this day in 1988, Prince released his uplifting and soul-baring album Lovesexy in the U.S. "Lovesexy was a mind trip, like a psychedelic movie," Prince told Rolling Stone in 1990. @rollingstone https://www.instagram.com/p/CdZvdx_Mgfv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Heavenly Birthday to the mighty BONI BOYER. She brought a powerful new energy to Prince's shows in her role as keyboardist and vocalist in the SOTT/Lovesexy band. 🎂🤎💜🎤🎹🎼🎵 #musicalinspirations #boniboyer #realsingers #realmusicians #Lovesexy88 https://www.instagram.com/p/CR4javcrIjG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Cat Glover and the late Boni Boyer on Prince's "Lovesexy '88" Tour. Boni was a wonderful addition to his band, with a powerful, flexible voice that he used to great advantage in addition to her role as keyboardist. She sadly passed away in December 1996. #lovesexy88 #prince #boniboyer #musicalinspirations
