Zapp's reference to Prince

Anyone else remember/heard the Zapp track "It doesnt really matter"? was recently sampled by some DJ too, but near the end Roger sings "Thanks you Prince cos you sound so good to me - get on down!" The track kicks ass!!
RIP Roger Troutman

Well, I think Roger Troutman died - so really they're not properly still going, it's like if Morris died - there would be no Time.
