Who is Ricky P?

Is it another Prince pseudonym? Does anybody know for sure?

He is credited as a co-producer during the early part of the symbol years (I just bought some of that stuff). I looked it up in the Princepedia and did a Google search....what more can I do? Thanks in advance.

Ricky P has worked on many Prince projects including The Gold Experience, Come, 1-800-NEW-FUNK, Chaka's Come 2 My House and Larry G's GCS2000 albums to name but a few.

St. Paul Peterson is a former member of The Time (the skinny white dude in Purple Rain lol), was the front-man of The Family, and has since carved a successful solo and sideman career since leaving the Purple camp.

Sheila E... need I say more!!!

We also discuss briefly Prince's upcoming European shows and speculate on what's in store for Princeworld 2010.

Thanks, guys! I wasn't sure what was if he exsisted or not! I guess I never noticed his credits on other albums before (I've owned "Come" and "The Gold Experience" for many years but only recently bought "1-800-New-Funk" and TMBGITW single).

Hey... I wrote that! http://prince.org/msg/7/335381?pr

I met Ricky P in Australia last year for his mini Aussie tour with his brothers and Sheila E. Really cool dude, and a mean keys player! He's one of those dudes who's played with just about everyone behind the scenes.

^^ I suspect Kewlschool's intention was that his previous image post was the credit to his subsequent post.

A bit confusing, mind you, but I don't think he was actually trying to steal the credit...

^Yeah, I realise that. For whatever reason the pic didn't load the first time I opened the page.

I was going to link it-but seeing how everything I link goes to the divorce of Carmen Electra. (I'm not certain how to link from previous threads.) Sorry toejam. (I knew the answer-it was just easier not to type it. wink )

Ricky P is an incredible keyboard player! Lots of talent in that Peterson family, to say the least.
