Prince on Rick James? Hey everyone,
I apologize if this topic has already been fulfilled. Obviously since Rick James has died I've been thinking about him and things I associate with him. And Prince is definitely a person that we associate with Rick James because of their histories. I know they may have had a little rivalry but Prince seems to be a decent person and I know he would not say anything crass about his death. Can anyone post a link or tell me what Prince said about Rick's death or Rick in general??? We have got to really appreciate people while they are here. I'm so grateful that Prince is still with us. I'm sorry that Rick is gone. Rick is one of Prince's few peers. Sad about Rick. | |

I have never heard, seen or read anywhere where Prince ever mentioned Rick. He may have, I just have never seen it. "Always blessings, never losses......"

The only reference to Rick James I have ever seen on Prince's behalf was in the linear notes from the 1993 album "The Hits/The B Sides". The linear notes were written by Eric Leeds and are as follows:
"When You Were Mine", a cult favoritie among knowledgeable Prince fans, was written in a Florida hotel room many weeks before it reached the recording studio. Prince was on his first tour, opening for funkmeister Rick James, and not too thrilled about it. In a rare compromise, he'd accepted the tour in exchange for the exposure it would give him in the R&B field where he had been building a formidable audience base. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Prince did a tribute to Rick at the concert this past Friday in Houston by saying "Rick James, Rest in Peace" twice and he played the base line to "Give it to me Baby" on the guitar for about a minute. I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin. | |

I don't own that CD so I didn't know about that but I do know they had petty differences. I posted more about this in the Prince:Music and More part of the forums. | |

That's ALAN Leeds, not Eric... Sorry for that. I didn't read it close enough. Andy is a four letter word. | |
