Prince.org the GRAMMY Tribute - Play along.

Sorry for being late, I just now heard about Madonna doing the Prince tribute on the Billboard Music Awards.

It is silly to me.

So I started thinking - what would an appropriate tribute constitute?

Let's say, at the Grammy's - for instance, - they give an unheard of 40 minutes to a Prince tribute for the ages.

Help me out...

I'll say the first song is I Wana Be Your Lover - w/ Andre Cymone singing lead, backed by Bobby Z., Dez, Lisa, & Fink. (it uses 3 minutes)

Your turn... (What is the next song and who are the players & singers?)

We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams.

You'll find your answers here: http://prince.org/msg/7/425528

Everyone has their own idea of who should honor Prince.

To be clear, the Grammys were this past February -- so at best, you're 9 months early.

Well if you really wanna make people cry then the ending should be purple rain, no one singing, just prince's voice, with only a mic on the stage and a spotlight on it.
How beautiful do the words have 2 be
Before they conquer every heart?
How will U know if I'm even in the right key
If U make me stop before I start?

Also, NO ONE wants a 40 minute tribute on the Grammys to Prince. Why would anyone extend a show that is already 3-4 hours long by another 40 minutes (which means an hour, when you factor in commercials.)

In 9 months, there will already have been plenty of tributes. There will be nothing at the Grammys other than in the memorium.

Huh? You are mistaken. As much as Prince meant to music, there WILL be an extended tribute on the GRAMMY's. Book it.
