Did Prince borrow from a Marvin Gaye song?

Masochistoc Beauty share more than a few similarities with Dance 4 Me .

Does anybody else hear it?

Certianly a very small inspiration or influence - or just coincidence.

Yes i hear an essence of it in there. but until it sells a million then the lawyers/Nona won't give shit.

I also hear a direct link to the Zapp song Dance Floor

which i assume was a homage to Roger Troutman who had died shortly before.

also Lavaux has a direct link to the jackson 5 song (song escapes me at the minute?)

which again was an homage to the recently departed Jacko.

You probably mean Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground) by the Jacksons?

Lavaux also shares a little with Automatic by The Pointer Sisters

Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.

I think they would think twice about suing Prince. He is quite a stubborn dude. And even though people think he sucks businesswise, he is known to find loop holes that he can take advantage of.
