MARLON BRANDO AND PRINCE  THE WORLD HAS LOST A TRUE GENIUS WITH MARLON BRANDO PASSING AWAY....I AM DEVASTATED APART FROM PRINCE, I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYONE SO TOUCHED BY GREATNESS AS BRANDO....HE DOWNPLAYED HIS INCREDIBLE TALENT ON THE BIG SCREEN TO FIGHT FOR CAUSES HE RIGHTLY THOUGHT WERE MORE IMPORTANT.....BUT HE UNDERESTIMATED THE WAY HIS BRILLIANT PERFORMANCES TOUCHED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD
... ...I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES BETWEEN PRINCE AND BRANDO IN THEIR CAREERS AND NOW ONE AS BEEN LOST TO US.....REST IN PEACE....MARLON. | |

"STELLA!" If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

The main connections I can get between the two of them are that they are/were both very private people and Prince used quotes from Godfather (not Brando's as I recall) on a Madhouse album.
Other than that... (this is where you fill in the blank) The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018. (www.amazon.com/gp/product/1538114623/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) or www.facebook.com/groups/1...104195943/ | |

I don't know of a lot of similarities, but, ok. Brando has been Mount Rushmore worthy for decades. He is, and I do mean IS, truly The Godfather. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Streetcar and the Godfather were my favorites of his. | |

Wow, blackboab, good pull. I loved Brando and never would have made those connections. I see your point. | |

Other than that... (this is where you fill in the blank) Here's a connection (somewhat).... On Sheila E's 1987 song "The Pride And The Passion" (from her self-titled album),there is a lyric that goes... "He had big cash and a Brando smile" I'm pretty sure that Prince wrote this song  | |
