| ''The Lewis Connection'' is an alternate name for the band ''The Family'' led by [[Sonny T.|Sonny Thompson]] in the 1970’s (and which is unrelated to the band produced by [[Prince]] in the 1980’s [[The Family]]). Confusingly, the group released a single around the same time, [[Single: Stone Lover|Stone Lover]], which also featured [[Prince]] on guitar, under the moniker ''MLF''. The band contained [[Sonny T.|Sonny Thompson]] (who would become a member of the [[Band: New Power Generation|New Power Generation]] many years later), and brothers Pierre and André Lewis. Of note is that the band’s name was The Lewis Connection, but the album was mistitled '''The Lewis Conection'''; despite the error, the album is listed as such here. | | ''The Lewis Connection'' is an alternate name for the band ''The Family'' led by [[Sonny T.|Sonny Thompson]] in the 1970’s (and which is unrelated to the band produced by [[Prince]] in the 1980’s [[The Family]]).

| The album was only distributed in the Twin Cities area, and it did not enter the charts. It is not known if The Lewis Connection played live to support the album, but it is unlikely [[Prince]] would have appeared with them, as he was quite successful in his own right at the time of the album’s release in 1979. | | The album was only distributed in the Twin Cities area, and it did not enter the charts.
