Mint Condition, hailing from St. Paul, Minnesota, is a dynamic R&B band renowned for their eclectic fusion of jazz, funk, and rock elements. Formed in the mid-1980s, the group comprises Stokley Williams (lead vocals, drums), Ricky Kinchen (bass), Homer O'Dell (guitar), Larry Waddell (keyboards), and Jeffrey Allen (saxophone, keyboards). Discovered by producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in 1989, they debuted with "Meant to Be Mint" in 1991, featuring the hit "Breakin' My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes)." Their versatility and captivating live performances have solidified their status as one of the last major funk bands to chart before hip-hop and new jack swing dominated black music in the 1990s.
