According to the article they used John L's sheet music and PP studios to record the songs. Please point out to me where it states that this is an official release from the estate.

For all we know Sharon or Norrine could be financing this from their portion of the inheritance. The comments on this thread are way out of line.

NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY WHO THE HEIRS OF THE ESTATE SHOULD BE, WHAT THEY SHOULD RECEIVE OR HOW THEY SHOULD SPEND IT, PERIOD.

Who the hell do you people think you are?

BINGO! So there is someone in this forum who's paying attention! For all you other speculative haters get your facts in order before you make negative comments like your an authority on what's really happening. It's not an Estate release, it was released in honor of their dad who would have turned 100 and never had the opportunity to have his music heard. Don't hate,appreciate! By the way the single is amazing, can't wait for the album!

They still used Paisley Park as a resource when they could be using it has a recording studio with actual clients.

Once again keep up this foolishness has Lonnie all over it.

I think this release is something to look forward to musically, personally I am curious to hear the music written by his dad. If Prince is a musical genius, he must have it from either his mum or dad (or both). So there is a chance that John's music is very good as well, which is definately interesting to me.

Also I would like to study his dad's music to see if there are similarities with Prince's own music, which is fascinating to me. Plus I like jazz music and from the samples I have heard of the album it definately sounds like something I would play and enjoy listening to. Furthermore I also like the idea of Prince's father's songs record in his son's studio under the guidance of Prince's sister. I don't see it as moneygrabbing as this is not a CD that will sell well, I see it as a nice way by his sister to pay tribute to their dad's music.

What you choose to do in your garage is on you, what they do in the resource they own is on them. As Prince would say, "You're like a 5 night stay on a 3 day vacation, "You Trippin!"

Truth!

Too much crossing the line happens here. Too much running off at the mouth about things we have limited knowledge of that is not our business in the first place.

I don't know what part of "it is not our money and we have no say in how it is spent" people don't understand?

I'm still waiting for some evidence that this is an estate release as the OP claimed?

It is a very worthy endeavor IMO. Shame on Prince's FAMILY for not getting org permission before they make any decisions.

I am telling the truth which anyone with a lick of sense can see. The older subs are working with a crook so they can do vanity projects. Ego before common sense.

If you're on the outside attempting to look in with blurry vision and your commentary is based on nothing more than your own personal opinion, and misinformation regarding what the sibs are doing, how does that equate to you telling what the truth is? In your eyes it may appear to be truth but in reality anyone with a lick of sense can see you are just "talkin loud n say'n nothin", mere speculation.

Agreed. We can all have an opinion, but when people present their opinion as holy writ.....

There is a whole mob of self-appointed executors of Prince's estate on this site who have deluded themselves into thinking they have some right to have a say in what happens to resources that do not belong to them.

How people can have such nerve is beyond me. Prince did not owe us anything while he walked this earth and his family damn sure doesn't owe us anything after his passing.

The outlandish venom spewed at his family is unfounded simply because Prince had zero problem letting his wishes be known and enforcing them. If he did not specifically do anything to prevent his family from having access to anything of his then no one has any right to claim otherwise, period, end of.

-/What mis-information. The could be spending there time getting Prince's music out which would bring in much more money than anything his dad ever did? Do you really think this is not true? Even if John's single sells a million copies if they used Paisley to work on this they are wasting resources which is my opinion. Fact the older sibs are working for a crooked asshole who has caused lawsuits and committed fraud. If your good with that fine. I am not good with it and these three will not get my dollars. All they care about is getting money and I do not think they give a shit about his music or legacy. That is my opinion. [Edited 7/1/17 4:36am]

why not make the fans who supported him for decades HAPPY

Is that even possible?

I'm not sure what's wrong with some of the people here: what's this whole thing? Bitching about people we've never met and passing judgements on their assumed motives?

.

All I see here is a woman who salvaged her deceased father's long lost compositions, het father also being the father of one of the most influencial musicians of our times, and recording the project in a studio that belonged to her deceased brother, who also was the composers' son? Wehew, what a sin!

.

Actually I'm quite grateful: I've wanted to hear John L's work for years, and I feared nothing was left of it at all beyond the EP and his few works with Prince.

.

As for the comment regarding why bother since she won't make money...? How sad really, if one can't honor their deceased parents without having money in mind. Have we sank that low that everything we do has to be motivated by profit?

.

And I'll end by adding that: wouldn't it be nice if, at some point, some estate people came to talk with us the fans to discuss what it is they should release and how? Maybe they wouldn't anyway, maybe they don't care. But if they do, and come here, and read all that bitching, I don't think they will ever talk to us anyway.

.

By all means please don't start bitching at me or trolling me, I won't reply to any such provokation. I just wanted to say how sad I feel this is (and it's not the first time I'm saddened by a moblynching on this board).

It's a sad and unfortunate fact that any music that is released by the estate or heirs, post-Prince or post-John Nelson is going to be criticized, and no matter what the family does regarding Prince's legacy or their Father's legacy will always stir-up controversy.

See the twitter link from Charles F. Spicer he is the producer of the John L. Nelson project and a minion of Londell's. He has a picture of the inside of Paisley Park studios and parrots all of the dumb stuff Londell puts on his twitter.

I wonder who is paying him and why is he inside P's studio. Another way for Londell to get money out of the estate. If SNJ do not get rid of Londell and god forbid any of them should pass away this fool will always be involved in the estate as their attorney.

They sibs had no means of producing anything. Remember on GMA the two sisters said they had never been in Paisley Park.

I agree Clover.


People who make a choice to become overly invested in things that aren't their business and that they have no control over deserve their own self-imposed misery. Like the Nelsons, we can't let them drag us down.

The Nelsons have not put themselves out there with snide remarks on social media, nor have they run to any publishers with heresay. I applaud them waiting a respectable amount of time to proceed and respect their right to handle their family's affairs in private without ill-informed second guessing.
