Did Prince Ever Have Voice Lessons?

Seems like I can remember him getting voice lessons from Seth Riggs who teaches speech level singing. Anybody know anything else?

I'm pretty sure he had vocal coaches, trainers and teachers for a large part of his career. I seem to remember specifically reading about one of them, maybe 10 years ago or so.

Yeah. Doing that Computer Blue over and over would've made anyone go hoarse.
