I would say everybody has been some kind of influence. Music in general is deep and wide...  "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

"Devo" was a big influnce when he incorporated
some new wavestuff to his funk in the early 80's. Other than that if I'd just mention one influence that would be "Sly & The Family Stone",cuz just as Prince's music it's such a blend of different styles. /peace Manki | |

You missed Zep of course. Also I wonder if Prince listened to Floyd. I swear I hear Gilmour in much of his guitar playing. Some people forgot about our old "Rude Boy" and some of his early New Wave/Mod look and sound in the early 80s. | |
