Prince's White Influnces

Not to much is mentioned about prince's white musical influnces, so I decided to start this post. I think his top 3 white influnces are david bowie, elvis presely, and joni mitchell. Who do you think are his white influnces?
Prince believes he is a musical prophet that has been chosen by Jehova to guide his fans to the "truth".

The Beatles
Led Zeplin
Joni Mitchell
The Rolling Stones

They're the main ones I guess. I think he was influenced by just about everything that was happening in all forms of American popular music from 1960-78 (ie. rock, funk, jazz, psychodelica, folk etc.)

Led Zeppelin
Joni Mitchell
some British glam rock.

And later in the 80s he was of course influenced more by the new romantics / new wave sound than contemporary black music, but that's another issue.

Parts of "Parade" sounds like it could have been influenced by Lawrence Welk.

when prince was a kid only 3 % of the population
in mineapolisa were blacks ,
so he was condemnd to listen to white radio.

prince liked to listen grand funk railroad,boston,
led zeppelin,chicago.
prince was one of the rare guitar players
who knew guitar solo from chicago song "make me smile "
and he enjoyed big respect as a guitar player because of that.

I don't think Elvis is.

P did a snippet of "Jail House Rock" either at the RRHF after party or at the San Jose Musicology concert (listened to both today). After a few notes he kinda dissed Elvis verbally. The audience had a chuckle.
