I know....I started to mention Tamar but then I thought like u mentioned, her album didn't get released for whatever the reason.


that wasn't for him not trying though.

Of course he tried when did we ever see him pushing an artist they way he was pushing Tamar. Please don't forget Nona Gaye and his own comments about his crush on Stephanie Mills. I think P is the kind of guy that likes all the ladies and this skin color thing may not be the big issue that fans are making it out to be.

You have got to be realize he may be just going along with the industry standards and what we see being introduced to the market place may have nothing to do with his personal taste.

And, she performed at Coachella with him.



And let me tell you, I was happy as I don't know what. I've been a Ledisi fan for yrs, and to see her with Prince....shit....speechless. Off topic but I had to get that one out, lol.

I have never heard of Prince having a crush on Stephanie Mills. When did he make that comment? I know he had one on Patrice Rushen but never heard of Stephanie. I agree that Prince is a man who loves women, but he clearly has a preference. I also agree that he goes along with industry/societal standards, which is why Nona was probably kept in the background while Mayte was paraded about.

I know, how cool was that? I first saw her with him on Leno and I was geeked. I remember my sister buying her first album years ago at a small record store named Dr. Wax in Chicago. I didn't even know who she was but the music was great. So to see her with P was major!

It was crazy. I'm from the bay so I've been digging Ledisi for the longest because the bay is one of her hometowns & to see her & Prince, I was geeked also, haha. Her music is great!!!!
