i figured since he's had his hand everywhere in this industry and slept with most of the brunettes in show business, its be pretty easy to do this


ok, who's first?

i just thought of this as a friend reminded me of:
a musician who appeared in the raspberry beret video
very short role, totally unrecognizable unless you're looking
who went on to be in a pretty big group u wouldnt relate with prince at all
but they did do a cover of one of his songs.


any ideas?

Bob

pat smear! But there is also a tragic connection to one of the biggest alternative bands of the 90's, Smashing Pumpkins...

well, NewPowerNorth, let's take this topic from another angle:

can anyone out there connect themselves (or a loved one) to Prince in 6 or less steps?

6 degrees of separation...

Bob

Just resurrecting this thread for a bit of fun.

Can anyone link Prince to say... Calista Flockhart in 6 steps or less?

Calista Flockhart was in Birdcage, The (1996) with Anthony Giaimo

Anthony Giaimo was in Tous les jours dimanche (1995) with Monique Mannen

Monique Mannen was in Graffiti Bridge (1990) with Prince


I cheated

How so? That's not how I linked them but why was it a cheat?

Link Prince to Simon & Garfunkle.

Garfunkel was in a duo with Paul Simon,
Paul Simon did the "U Can Call Me Al" video with Chevy Chase,
Chevy Chase hosted SNL once with Sheila E. as the musical guest,
Sheila E. did it with Prince.

Hey, this is fun.

That's not it.

KeithyT said:

Keithy, there's a link somewhere that will help you play this game...

I've linked Prince from Cher to Frank Sinatra to Milos Forman in about 3 or 4 degrees of separation.

Pretty weird.

Damn that Kevin Bacon!

this thing can link anybody. Somebody else posted it here a while back.

Prince was in Purple Rain (1984) with Clarence Williams III

Clarence Williams III was in Reindeer Games (2000) with Ron Jeremy

Ron Jeremy was in 54 (1998) with Art Garfunkel

Hmmm. I guess that's as good a guess as any. And one I didn't know about. But the one I was thinking of was totally different. I'll eventually post it before the day is over if nobody figures it out.

Wouldn't it be better to find if there
is a direct link to Prince from ANYONE?

Cher accepted his award (asked by Prince)
in the UK in '97 or '98.

pat smear who was in the no doubts video dont speak and gwen worked with prince and whatver the hell.

Simon & Garfunkel recorded "A Hazy Shade Of Winter" for their album Bookends in 1968.

The Bangles covered "A Hazy Shade Of Winter" for some movie in the late 80s.

The Bangles recorded "Manic Monday" written by Prince.

A friend of mine met Prince.

Also, another friend of mine's twin sister teaches grade school out in New York. One of her students is Kim Basinger's offspring. Kim Basinger dated Prince.

I like this game.

herbthe4 said:

Oh I see. Anyhoo, my way was:

Prince worked with The Time members Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who went on to produce records for Karyn White, the daughter of Barry White, who has appeared in Ally McBeal with Calista Flockhart.
