The Steeles??? Really?

Smiley said:

The bald guy? Kip Blackshire, right?

...ah, just a question, Why have Stevie Wonder on drums?

Sure have Stevie in a line up if u wish, but if u are making up a list from past band members, then U're line up has to change.

Is Stevie better on the skins as compared to Bland or Blackwell? If Stevie can play like those brothers, and not be able 2 see shit, then hey, even more props 2 the brotha!

.
Its not a line up of past band members ( PeeWee Ellis, Fred Wesley, never played with Prince -as far as I know-)

Just the neastest band ever would be the one I lined up above, most are ex members, but that's because he always came up with some of the best musicians to back up his style.

No not Kip, that other guy that had a "platform" hat and lost it during "release urself" and he was side by side dancing with Prince and Larry on "baby knows".
I think he was on keyboards also at some point.

.

Yes the Steeles, on the back up singing on "willing and able" and other tunes they sound so so so so damn great.

I know the leader passed away though

That's JOHNNY Blackshire, NOT Kip

Wendy-Guitar, Vocals
Lisa-Keys and Piano and Voice
MeShell-Bass
Sheila E.- Drums
Susannah Melvoin-Backing Vocals

And that would just about put me into a coma.

I m not taling about "squuueeeze that horns" boy, but an other one with long "silverish rain coal like" coat. anyhow, Blackshire is annoying.
