Musicians Prince has made you a fan of I know many people whined and moaned about P giving too much time to other artists at his shows... but looking at it on a positive note because he did that I got turned on to a bunch of people I never really gave time to before. So my question for you is: what artists has P turned you onto because of either their appearance on his shows, songs, or his namedropping of them?
For me (in recent history): - Beverly Knight - Marva King - Mike Philips - Nikka Costa - Ledisi Change it one more time.. | |

Sly Stone and funk in general. Also newer funk like stuff from Freestyle Records (a great find by the way). Also a bit of RnB.
Still can't drag me away from the mighty Floyd though. | |

When I heard him mention D'Angelo in Get Yo Groove On I went and bought a cd and have been a fan ever since. He also made me pay a lot closer attention to Miles Davis. | |

I never really heard much black music when I was younger. Prince got me into all kinds of music, especially soul. Nowadays soul is my favorite stuff. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

Prince got me into all kinds of white music back in the day.
I mean, I'm from Finland and I was just listening to African-American stuff as a teenager. Sure jazz then changed that thing a bit. [Edited 1/17/09 12:49pm] | |

Joni.....and that's it. I heard them both talk about each other in seperate interviews in the late 80's. Not crazy about her 60's folk stuff but I LOVE her 70's thru the 90's jazz influenced stuff. | |
