Six Degrees of Separation - Prince Edition

Could be fun, could be stupid. Someone names something and see if anyone can link it to Prince. Probaby too easy.

Example: Devo

Possible Answer: Pearl Jam has covered Devo's "Whip It" live and Prince has covered Pearl Jam's "Even Flow" live. Only took two.

Courtney Love was married to Kurt Cobain, whose bandmate in Nirvana was Dave Grohl, who fronts the Foo Fighters, who wrote "Best Of You", which Prince covered at the Superbowl.

Selena once appeared on an awards show with Ricky Martin. Ricky used to be an actor on General Hospital, which also had Jack Wagner on it. Jack was signed to Quincy Jones label Qwest. Qwest was under Warner Brothers, which Prince was signed to. Going further, Quincy Jones produced Frank Sinatra's 1984 song L.A. Is My Lady and appeared in the music video. George Benson played guitar on the song, and Eddie Van Halen & David Lee Roth & Michael McDonald was in the video. George, Van Halen, & The Doobie Brothers were signed to Warner Brothers. George is a Jehovah's Witness and has recorded at Paisley Park Studios. Michael & LaToya Jackson are also in the video and they were JW's, and there's a clip of Elvis Presley. Prince has performed Jailhouse Rock. Missing Persons is in the video too and Dale Bozzio was signed to Paisley Park. Warren Cuccurullo was a member of Missing Persons & Duran Duran. Duran Duran has performed Sign O' The Times & Sexy MF in concert.
