You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Michael took a lot from sammy, a lot. I was always intrigued by his "friendship" with Prince, i wondered what he meant. Of course, hollywood friends has it's own meaning. but Prince wasn't really the kind of guy to mingle with stars, even those he admired. He totally shunned little richard at the PR opening. He changed later on but this clip is from 89 or so.
