I wonder how many so songs had input by Prince? Not officially of course. But when was Bobby Z known as a song writer? Before or after? He suddenly gets a lot of song writing credits here wink

Their debut album is their best imo. Every track is strong. Love 'Everything but you'.

I know/think Prince played the guitar solo on "Stay"...no other involvement that i ever heard of...

Make it so, Number One...

I believe it was the 2nd album that Prince did stuff with them. Like BrownMark's 88 album.

River Run Dry(the Family) was written by Bobby Z.
Prince did have a wealthy of creativity in his camp back then.

I think what would Paisley Park have been like with all of these people working 4 Prince

And I'm talking about the Time too ie Jesse Johnson, Jimmy Jam Terry Lewis etc

Either you know it or you think it, it can't be both. Your statement is highly confusing and tends to claim that thinking and knowing are the same thing, à la Donald Trump's "alternate facts".

I've never heard such a thing and neither has Princevault.

If you know something, please share the source of your information with us.

.

The only possible Prince contribution to a W&L album I'm aware of is related to the confusion surrounding the instrumental titled Pickle and its similarity to Are You My Baby. There are many contradictions regarding this track: there is a controversy regarding Pickle's authenticity (though a very reliable source claims it's authentic), and the fact that the instrumental was considered for Madhouse 24 (the one that became 27 then Times Squared) at about the same time W&L released Fruit At The Bottom adds to the confusion, since it's unlikely Prince would have considered releasing his own version of the song after giving it, uncredited, to W&L.
