James Brown was once called "the hardest working" man in the buzness... Does Prince, who took up his legacy, measure up to JB and will he last as long> a life time? When Prince channels James Brown and Hendrix and makes it his own, Prince is at his best. Thoughts?

I think when all is said and done, Prince will have his spot among the greatest of all time. He'll be revered and discussed forever, just like James, Jimi, Stevie, you get the point. Honestly, his place in music history was etched out even before the end of the 80's.

Orger 1: "Prince was on drugs that night."


Orger 2: "No, he wasn't."


Orger 3: "Yes, he was. It was bad performance."


Mods: ""

Prince didn't take up anyone's legacy.

JB pretty much, on any given night of the week, month in-month out, had a show going on somewhere.
