Your ULTIMATE Prince "Band" or "Backing Band."

Over the decades, PRINCE has had many disciples come through his camp. From his early days, until even recently with his current project 3rd EyeGirl.

If you could start the Ultimate Prince Band, who'd be in it?

It could be members from his early bands like The Revolution, New Power Generation. From bands he created like the Time. To people like Sheila E. Groups he had a hand in like Mazarati.

My Ultimate Prince band would basically be The Revolution but with Jesse Johnson instead of Dez (Nothing against him but Jesse is better) and Andre Cymone instead of Brown Mark. If horns are required, I'd bring in Maceo and Eric Leeds.

The piano and micrphone show I saw in Sydney was the the best gig I've seen this year, and he didn't need a band. lol The ultimate band is just Prince music

Keep Calm & Listen To Prince
