my heart sank

dayum

It's common for people who were either once casual fans of the man, or just plain observers of pop culture. These type of fans aren't interested in doing anything more than listening to the radio or watching MTV to find out what they're SUPPOSED to be hip to in music. If they have to put in effort elsewhere to find out that Prince has come full circle and become a "cult artist" again (for lack of a better description)... they're not interested.

true...p's the type where u gotta pay close attention, otherwise yo ass will miss sumfin. and 4 the heads whose brains are fried from empteevee and bet, that ain't gonna happen.

it happened to me with Stevie Wonder&I also Heard that this happen with George Michael back in 96 after His "Older" Album came out while He was pumping Gas for His Car a Cat asked Him when he was dropping another Album? it happens to alot of Artist at some point no matter where they are in there Career's.

You met Stevie and asked him?

rdhull said:

when Glenn Lewis&Other Cats were Sounding like Him or trying to to within the past few Years&some of My Friends know I'm a Big Stevie Fan come running up asking where is Stevie?&also hearing about His Follow-Up Album to "Conversation Pieces" which was suppose to be a Double Album but nothing has come of it yet&still waiting.Never Met Him.still hearing about His Album coming this Year.but I've heard that for the past 4 Years.

mistermaxxx said:

oh..I thought u met Stevie awhile back and asked when his next album is dropping lol and he said "I already released it" lol

rdhull said:

I Wish I Met Stevie Wonder.would Ask Him in a Heartbeat to Release "Songs in the Key Of Life" Outtakes&other Rare Jams He has in His Vault.also gotta have Stevie do Some Comedy Because He truly cracks me up.

mistermaxxx said:

I wonder if he has a vault like Prince etc.I wonder what and how much he has in his vault..I never thought of that. Id like to hear some skeltal versions of songs like Superstition, Livin For The City, Dont U Worry Bout A Thing etc. I wonder if he has them himself or the studio etc. I think he is too much of a perfectionist to ever let them loose if he does have them.

rdhull said:

I heard a Story that Said when He dies He wants all of His Stuff that is in a Vault Burned&Destroyed.I had a Musical Buddy of Mine who lives in DC&also a Big Prince Fan in addtion to a Big Stevie Fan&She got to do some Interm Gig at either His Radio Station in la or a Studio He was at,well any how She told Me that She heard He has like 20 Smoking Outtakes that didn't make the Final Cut for "Songs in the Key of Life".when Napster was around I had gotten some of His Live 70's stuff off there but can't find it now.I bet Stevie got like 20 Years worth of Albums in his Vault because I remember in Rolling Stone back in 85 when he was on the Cover of Him talking about His Vast Vault&His Recording tracks Every day.

mistermaxxx said:

I Know that In His Vaults He did a Album with Michael Jackson back in 1974 that has never gotten out.hard to Believe Motown/Universal is sitting on that or that Stevie&Michael won't allow it to see the light of day?

mistermaxxx said:

but is this true or just legend?

mistermaxxx said:

That sounds like Stevie, wanting his vault stuff destroyed. That radio station is out in L.A. KJLH..the BEST rnb, soul or whatever you wanna call it radio station in the world. I just wish it had a stronger signal.

Yes, here's a recent picture of her during rehearsals.

rdhull said:

Heard about this Album back in the early 80's when "Rock&Soul" magazine was out&Happening.this was around the time of "Michaelmania"&the writer at the time whose name escapes me didn't just shot off Jive.He had Rare Photos of MJ&His Father Joe while making a Point&showed this rare photo of MJ&Stevie hanging out together&mentioned the Album sitting in the Vault.andStevie&Michael are Cool with one another.Stevie Cut so much Music that it ain't even funny.

Heavenly said:

roflmao

rdhull said:

Yep I've heard it mentioned just didn't know the Call Letters.Stevie is a Very Guarded Cat.He clings to His Work.He spoke out recently against Down-Loading&I was tripping off of that because aside from his old stuff who Down-Loads New Stevie Stuff just on the Weekends anymore?

Heavenly said:

Supernova said:

just an addition...

He followed that first statement up with, 'last thing i heard he did was a redo of 1999'

I told him, that was the time he hooked up with Larry Graham

Things have never been the same.

Then Loverboy's 'Workin for the Weekend' came on

Kill me now
