Prince's White Influnces Not to much is mentioned about prince's white musical influnces, so I decided to start this post. I think his top 3 white influnces are david bowie, elvis presely, and joni mitchell. Who do you think are his white influnces? Prince believes he is a musical prophet that has been chosen by Jehova to guide his fans to the "truth". | |

The Beatles
Led Zeplin Joni Mitchell The Rolling Stones They're the main ones I guess. I think he was influenced by just about everything that was happening in all forms of American popular music from 1960-78 (ie. rock, funk, jazz, psychodelica, folk etc.) [Edited 3/26/07 0:09am] Toejam @ Peach & Black Podcast: http://peachandblack.podbean.com

Joni Mitchell some British glam rock. And later in the 80s he was of course influenced more by the new romantics / new wave sound than contemporary black music, but that's another issue. | |

Todd Rundgren. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

Joni Mitchell yes, but Elvis and Bowie I can't see or hear at all. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

Joni Elvis The Stones Led Zeppelin The Beatles Bowie T-Rex Tim Curry (Rocky Horror Picture Show) Queen Adam Ant Steely Dan Fleetwood Mac SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."
nammie "What BGZ says I believe. I have the biggest crush on him." http://ccoshea19.googlepa...ssanctuary http://ccoshea19.googlepages.com | |

Parts of "Parade" sounds like it could have been influenced by Lawrence Welk. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Joni Mitchell yes, but Elvis and Bowie I can't see or hear at all. I don't think Elvis is. P did a snippet of "Jail House Rock" either at the RRHF after party or at the San Jose Musicology concert (listened to both today). After a few notes he kinda dissed Elvis verbally. The audience had a chuckle. | |
