P - will never let his songs be cheapened by being used for advertisements - I know he has strong views on this - he said in an interview somewhere about Lennon and the song they mixed using his voice after his death - he said that would never happen to him - so I feel sure that he will burn the vault or empty it long before that happens - although he could of course change his mind - its up to him after all but I hope he doesn't - let them use his music for adverts


Actually, P let Tina Turner sing "Baby I'm a Star" for a Target commercial, and the NBA used "We Gets Up" about 7 years ago in a national campaign for the start of the season.



and the SOTT movie performance of LRC was used in a Chevy commercial a few years ago.

I could see "Take Me With U" used perfectly with tons of products, perfect song for a TV commercial, and for some reason, love it or hate it, it still sounds fresh to this day!,..but you could say that about the entire Purple Rain album, timeless!
