wierd ass thread....

Oh, and tea. In a fancy teacup.

Some lace.

Some leather.

Some wtf is THAT, Batman.

Also, Batman.

And green hair.

How about that Gangsta Glam, tho.

Okay, I'ma stop and let you all get back to the serious influences and maybe drink some more coffee.

On a more serious note, wasn't Sly and the Family Stone an influence? I think someone posted them on here already, but I seriously cannot remember how they look for some reason.

You think his influences is a weird thread. Have you seen some of the other threads here on the org?

True! Finally something worth talking about. A thread that has something to do with his musical influences. I love when people talk about his music, where it comes from, how it's made etc, instead of talking about his girlfriends and who he had sex with.

Yes, this is a great thread. Very accurate so far. I’ll opt for Junie – another huge talent that we lost recently.

...and Kate ("Sunrise Sunset" really took me aback).

Sam Cooke - Jimi Hendrix

It was here, in the basement of this family home of engineer Chris Moon, where Prince learned multi-track recording and how to mix instruments.

Curious to hear how Suicide figures into the making of Prince. My brother used to listed to Suicide and I learned to really appreciate them. Ghostrider, Frankie Teardrop, Diamonds, Fur Coat, Champaigne - ahhh memory lane.

Have never heard Prince say it, but I heard somebody else mention some similarities back in the day. When i listened to songs like Frankie Teardrop, it immediately took me to the intens build ups and screams on less melodical songs like Something In The Water Does Not Compute. Then on more melodical songs like Papa and God, his screaming is something very different from "normal" soul and funk screams. You can hear that it's not just taken from James Brown, Sly etc. This approach has all of that in it, but is even on a bit of some punk/noise avant garde type of stuff.

Did Prince ever mention Betty Davis? They appear to be a perfect fit.

Did he ever cite any classical composers?
