Am I the only who doesn't see the "Little Richard" influence on Prince?

Let's take looks/dress out of the equation. What Prince's music sounds anything like Little Richard's? I am sure Prince admired and respected him but if you were to say Prince was influenced by James Brown, I would say absoultley! Musically, I don't see it.

It's there. Think about the rockabilly songs of early 80s, I'd say it's in there for example.
