Prince was influenced by rock pioneers like:

We often talk about who influenced Prince's music

but we tend to forget how big influence early Rock'n Rollers like Jerry LEE Lewis,Elvis and Little Richard had.

Piano segment during the Purple Rain tour was Little Richard

and Jerry Lee Lewis mixed with Ray Charles.

You are talking about some of the founding fathers of rock and roll. Who wasn't (in some shape or form) influenced by these people?

Yeah,but Prince stage antics were much influenced by those 3 rock legends.

Do you think Prince was influenced by Buddy Holie? Bo Diddley?

Honestly, I don't know enough about Buddy Holly or Bo Diddley to see their influence on Prince..or not.
