Who is Steve?

Maybe I'm just forgetting something important, but who is he talking about in "Feel better, feel good, feel wonderful"?

"U tried 2 do me like my good brother steve
But eye got another funky trick up my sleeve"

I love this song but I'm baffled.

How'm I gonna fill this empty room...

Prince told Tavis Smiley that "Steve" is a major record company's executive who told him about how majors cheat musicians with royalties (IIRC).

I was thinking Steve Fargnoli (one of 3 managers), one of his very few closest ppl in 80s

Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!! biggrin In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!!

yeah that is what I assumed too. But you know prince got (or was threatened with) sued by Steve over "jughead" as when they split there was a no trash talking clause. I wonder if it had a sunset or if it is still in effect. If it is in effect then Steve would have a case.

I always thought it was Stevie Wonder too. I have the Tavis Smiley interview, have to check it out again to see what Prince says.
