Yep. And the Judith Hill announcement. As they say, timing is everything.

Welcome to "the org", Mumio…they can have you, but I'll have your love in the end nod

Yipes. This is coming across as very opportunistic.

Come on, Sheila. I thought you were cool.

Why do you say that? Why do people here seem to hate on anyone associated with Prince?

Sorry, just rubs me the wrong way with what a lot of Prince insiders (like Dr Funkenberry) have been saying about Sheila E. I could be wrong! Maybe she is not doing this for anything other than noble reasons!

For the record, I always loved when Sheila E would perform with Prince. They seemed to have a natural chemistry. But with the way things ended between them in 2011 and the things she's said about him before, I don't blame people for not trusting her or her motives here.

I think it's going to be great. She's been with Prince and loved him from the start. I trust her and can't wait to hear it.

Funkenberry is the one who told everybody to relax because there was nothing to worry about after the plane incident, right? He was at the PP event that Saturday.

I don't want to hear anything else from or about him ever.

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

He was only going off of what the man himself told him. No reason to blame him for what happened.

I do not blame him for what happened....that's silly.

What I blame him for is the way he treated us like we were all over-reacting at the time just because we were showing concern. He was a real dick about it.

That just serves to show how little he knew Prince and were obviously not as close to him as he makes out to be. Sorry, but I find it way too pushy, the way he comes across as a close friend.

I feel the same. Not to derail the thread but I noticed stuff from his podcast that I'd seen elsewhere from others. Hard to explain. I also find it bizarre how he's close with TMZ and the ex wives like posting about Mani's wedding & pregnancy. I think for sure he knew Prince but I really don't think they were as close as he wants to make out, like maybe more an employee than true friend. I won't hate too much though cos he's obvi a huge fan on Prince & wants to protect the legacy so that's all good.

Back on topic - I don't mind Sheila but the whole tattoo thing & the engagement suspicion gives me so much second hand embarrassment!

She, like Judith Hill, is cashing in on this. Though, Sheila has a real history and connection to Prince.

Hearing this, it was very fortunate for her that she once had Prince as a collaborator.

I don't like the song, at all. Also have mixed feelings about it's release, but that's just the sceptic in me I guess. Love Sheila E, but not feeling this song at all. Anyway, who am I to say how someone should/does mourn, right?

the words/lyrics don't flow well, no poetry to them. The music and sentiment is beautiful.

Sorry, the music is as tired and trite as the lyrics are.
