I would say everybody has been some kind of influence. Music in general is deep and wide... cool

Last Night, I spent another lonely Christmas...Darlin' Darlin' U shoulda been there.~Prince.

You've got to be joking. The Brits have had no influence on Prince.

It is what the hell it is.

"Devo" was a big influnce when he incorporated
some new wavestuff to his funk in the early 80's.
Other than that if I'd just mention one influence
that would be "Sly & The Family Stone",cuz just as
Prince's music it's such a blend of different styles.

Nice going London. You missed Zep of course. Also I wonder if Prince listened to Floyd. I swear I hear Gilmour in much of his guitar playing. Some people forgot about our old "Rude Boy" and some of his early New Wave/Mod look and sound in the early 80s.
