Not necessarily. I don't know about anybody else, but I take each song as it comes. For example, on the whole, I really don't like "Soul" music - but of course I'm a huge Prince fan who melts every time he hears, say, 'Adore'. When Prince does "Soul" it's not just soul: it's Soul + Prince. | |

okay lets take a look at One Night Alone, piano set fair enough, but look what happened when he put it out as a live box set, he had a whole after show disc dedicated to funk. That's because he knows motherfuckers like me would leave that stripped down shit sitting in the record store collecting dust unless there was some funk attached to it. Andy is a four letter word. | |

They weren't talking about Prince's funk because they didn't even know who the hell Prince was. They were making racial slurs about funk in general because they only listened to pop/rock and "white people didn't listen to funk, because it was "black" music".....I won't use the exact word they used but I'm sure you have an idea of what word it is. I found it quite funny that when Prince blew up in the pop world, some of these same people got totally wrapped into him. And throughout the years, they started claiming to know funk but don't know a damn thing except what they've learned from Prince. Also, if Prince never taught them, they would never know the little bit they do know. I don't like fake and phony people. I also don't like people who go the safe route and never get into something until times change and it becomes "fashionable". I hear you.

also we have to factor in the fact that while he may have put out more rock oriented albums like Dirty Mind the same year he wrote and produced funk albums for the time up until 85, not to mention unrelease funk jams from the vault | |
