Sharon Nelson (prince sister) has a myspace page.
She's promoting a CD compilation called "57th Street Sound" featuring music from Sharon, her sister Lorna and father John L Nelson.

I didn't know Prince has a sister named Sharon. I thought it was just he and Tyka.

wow. Thanks!

Clevelandgirl said:

Tyka is his only full blooded sibling. He has some half Brothers and Sisters. I wonder if Sharon or Lorna is the one he sings about in the song "Sister"?

Prince has, like, eight borthers and sisters, but they're half brothers and sisters. So he probably does have a Sister named Sharon...

I almost hate to say it, but the songs are pretty good. Kind of a cross between P and George Clinton's solo stuff. She's pretty too.

Very interesting website site, good info from sister Sharon. I can definitely hear the funk here and obviously very strong Prince sound/influences. They are family, his sisters, and the music are tight. Funny there was a disclaimer at the end of the website saying this CD or site is not associated with Prince.

Would he sue them if they were???

I dug the Your Not Alone, very nice harmonies.

In the photos of John l Nelson (RIP) did you notice he has a simlar style of prince.
The sweater, chain and the pose he was too cool for school (LOL).The photo is from the mid 90s.

Sharon is very pretty she's his older sister. Good genes and talent run in the family.

misstoi said:

Yes! His dad was definitely using his son's dress style on that pic. Yes indeedy!

That's cool, Prince's father was always a hoot.

Sowhat said:

I HOPE it was none of his sisters he was talking about!

thanks 4 this!!

Those pics of Prince's father looked like they have been photoshopped and it is hella tacky to use your dead father and live brother to hock your shit.

Dayclear said:

Prince's dad was a super nice, very cool guy!!

I thought he only had one sister named Tyka?

Vendetta1 said:

yeah...

Vendetta1 said:

Oh please.

sexyone said:

His father was a muscisian; brutha's got a big family.

angelface22 said:

No, he has plenty of siblings. Tyka is his only full blooded sib.


Smooches;)

misstoi said:

i did notice!

Vendetta1 said:

They don't look photoshopped. But they sure do have a creepy vibe to them.

i wonder if shes gonna put some more pics on her myspace of her family n friends:)

Dayclear said:

Heck yeah!! Those of us who had to work the late shift over at a certain supermarket on Lake St (in 1993-95), knows that Mr. Nelson was always quick with a joke, story, or just a very cool smile. This cat was just straight up cool.

how can john l nelson be on a cd when hes been dead since 2001 he died at 85

purplemaniac1992 said:

The same way Tupac released albums years after he died


Just because something is recorded in, say 1995, doesn't mean it has to be released in 1995.


Smooches;)

MsMisha319 said:

true i guess he must have done some music back in the day...and his daughter released it now...idk but idk im lost...and anyways we all no tupacs not dead hes probably on some island resort laughing cuz everyone thinks hes dead

This is a great CD. You get a lot of funky, smooth and jazz tracks for a little money. Hearing John L. play...well, that's just the cherry in the spoon.

Isn't this the same sister that went on 'A Current Affair' with John Nelson back in the day?

The story went that Prince offered to pay them more than 'A Current Affair' had offered if they didn't go through with it.
They did it anyway, leading to an estrangement from his father.
