Dr. Fink is the true reason for the 80's Prince sound and not Wendy and Lisa. Don't get me wrong, W&L made a great contribution to Prince, however that Prince sound that we all love from the 80's was greatly influenced from Doc Fink. I say this because once W&L left the band Prince still had that great sound we love so much especially during the SOTT, Lovesexy eras and up through GB. Once the Doc was replaced, you could see the style of Prince's music change. So I say that it was Dr. Fink that had a greater influence on Prince and NOT Wendy and Lisa. Let's hear the opinions fly! __________________________________________________

I can see that many people agree with you!  No offence to Fink of course, I think he's ace 
W&L played on and wrote a number of tracks that ended up in SOTT, formerly Dream factory. Dont ask me what, ask someone else. But they were definitely involved in that sound, he was still working with them then and therefore (I think) influenced by them for a while after they'd left. Its much clearer if you look at the difference between Lovesexy and Parade, because they had no hand in it. But A lot of SOTT was The Revolution | |

I think it's fair to say that all three had a major influence on his sound. Wendy and Lisa, not only did they write some of the material, But they introduced Prince to different styles of music and artist's that he'd never listened to before. I think Prince learned alot about synthesizers from Fink and was able to incorparate it into his music. | |

Rerecorded yes - but not rewrote!  who knows who played what and who wrote what etc, but I think the influence was there, from all sides!
Also I don't know Fink outside of the Revolution, so I can't really judge. I do think it's fair to say they all had a fair amount of influence though | |

I do think it's fair to say they all had a fair amount of influence though The engineer knows; she said Prince was laying down all the tracks and paying attention to getting the right drums. Obviouly everything wasn't ready(already composed by W&l) Prince was writing and playing most things on his own! | |
