Prince had the chance to work with Bob Marley and blew it? Is there any truth to that old story?
You know, the one where way early on in Prince's career, when the buzz was just stirring about him, Mr. Marley himself came backstage to meet him, but got scared off by Prince's lack of clothing?( the ol' Speedo!) Is that a music myth, or is there something to that tale? "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

maybe not wanting to blow it was the reason he walked away...  | |

Since no one's really giving you an answer, here it is, courtesy of Dance, Music, Sex, Romance - Prince: The First Decade (by Per Nilsen): This meeting occurred after the opening concert of Prince's first tour at the Roxy Theater in Los Angeles on November 28, 1979. Prince met Bob Marley backstage at the Roxy Theater after the concert. The meeting was arranged by Don Taylor, who was toying with the idea of having Prince and Marley record a track together. "What the result of this might have been, however, I will never know", Taylor later said. "When we called on Prince he met us in this skimpy leopard g-string undergarment, which immediately aroused Bob's Jamaican macho feelings and so our stay was brief as Prince's g-string and Bob's discomfort was shown all over his face." This book is a worthwhile investment for those interested in Prince's early years as a recording artist. You can find the answers to a lot of questions in this book [Edited 7/19/07 22:26pm] My author page: https://www.amazon.com/au...eretttruth | |

That's unfortunate. If only a)Bob had just gotten over whatever hsi issue was, or b) Prince had thought to put some pants on, some tasty musical history could've been born. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |
