I think he's saying "Mia Bocca" is a Prince song.

I thought she told him not to use a bass.
Does that count as a collab?

Alamine said:

she did?

Did I miss something?

I thought that was Prince's idea (from watching the anniversery edition of PR) the bonus stuff?????

Anxiety said:

I agree if that is the case(which I dont think it is).

If suggestions or advice between friends, couples, were copywritten, there would be endless law suits to no end.

Prince was "The Golden Goose" and connected in the industry, so none of the people who might have given him advice or suggestions cared at the moment.. To be angry now would be "turncoat/hypocritcal". He was a Gatekeeper for his Protege's to even gain the nototriety that they have today.

I hear, and read "bitter Phans" say that he held her back, or someone else, but there are no suits.

Her best options were to: stay away from him, or forced him to marry her so that she could have access to half of his fortune.

In Prince's case who said they HAD to be copywritten? He is sueing ANYONE these days(even if he hides behind his so-called lawyers or not, HE can give to the word to lay off but HAS NOT!)Think about this for a second please!

toots said:

true, but who has he sued officially?

It's nothing like this people.. chill

To answer that properly, shouldn't you go to Prince to find out? OR You could do the research yourself, combing through public records. Is it really important enough to do that? He has sent many cease and desist letters, which is using his lawyers to bully people AND YOU KNOW THAT. Its on the front page every time you log in.

dude, my question ain't that deep or a big deal. all i meant is if any of these ceast and desist letters resulted in actual lawsuits and was hoping someone knew the answer because i didn't.

Alamine said:

suggestions don't count.

i looked into this recently on my own behalf.

Jill didn't suggest anything other than for P to go with his instincts. If someone received more than a thank you for that kind of input, it would be quite generous.

From Nov. 99 Bass Player article...

The Artist’s all-time biggest hit, "When Doves Cry" [Purple Rain], is most distinctive because of its lack of a bass line. The song had one but it was pulled at the last minute. "They were almost done editing the movie," he explains, referring to his big-screen debut in Purple Rain. "‘When Doves Cry’ was the last song to be mixed, and it just wasn’t sounding right." Prince was sitting with his head on the console listening to a rough mix when one of his singers, Jill Jones, walked in and asked what was wrong. "It was just sounding too conventional, like every other song with drums and bass and keyboards. So I said, ‘If I could have it my way it would sound like this,’ and I pulled the bass out of the mix. She said, ‘Why don’t you have it your way?’" From the beginning Prince had an inkling the tune would be better bass-free, even though he hated to see the part go. "Sometimes your brain kind of splits in two -- your ego tells you one thing, and the rest of you says something else. You have to go with what you know is right."
