How? Like, for real, how did he make an ass of himself? He just didn't want to join the session, so what? He didn't do out of malice. He just didn't swing that way. He offered a guitar part and his own song. So I guess he kinda participated.

He made an ass out of himself on stage. Everyone is singing a good-natured song and Prince sucks on a lollypop. He looked like a bitch.

Speak for yourself!

I think the word you're looking for is "solidarity."

No opinion on Prince and 'We Are the World," but it's crazy how often such Red Scare bullshit pops up on the org.

Ask anyone in the military whether organizations in which "individuality is supposed to disappear into one and only credo" (whatever that means) is inherently "communist."

Or any given sports team.

Or any corporation that requires its workers to wear uniforms. You think McDonalds is communist, because they have a dress code?

The idea that anyone should resist working together toward a common cause because "oH nO cOmmUNisM" is the kind of crap that is driving America's slow suicide. But hey, "freedom," right?

We Are The World raised over $60 million for humanitarian aid in Africa. It's a bit of a shite song - rather corny too, but it got the job done. After all, you're still talking about it and writing long, painful screeds against a silly charity song almost 40 years after its release.

Not sure I buy this clip. Needs more context.

Funny people saying Quincy "in his old age." The clip shows a younger Quincy , I am guessing this is from the 1980s. People forget too that Quincy is use to working with Jazz virtuosos...not a lot of pop musicians are going to impress him...hence this statement as well as him saying similar things about the Beatles. The public equates becoming popular with being good. But that is not necessarily true. If it were true, blues and jazz greats would be the most famous musicans in the world. Because Prince or the Beatles became popular...does not mean they will impress someone with Quincy's discerning ear.

Also why is it that nowadays, any critique makes you a hater? I remember listening to Prince's piano work on his last tour and though I enjoyed it, I remember thinking; "he isn't as good as Elton John on Piano"...I was not hating...I was just making an observation and comparison. So no, I don't think Quincy is hating...he is just being blunt. He is stating his opinion ... providing what he said in this clip is true and his meaning wasn't tappered with in the editing.

Edit: I must add one thing. Prince's style of playing is perfect for the studio. He leaves a lot of space for other instruments to fill in. That to me is the incredible thing about him..the sum is a lot more that the parts. So he is a very good guitarist...competent on the base,drums..excellent drum and synth programmer...but all those skills together...Freaking amazing. I hope there is footage of Prince recording in the studio and I hope one day the estate releases it.

[Edited 7/27/20 15:05pm]

Was this from the same interview where Quincy said Prince tries to do too much by himself? I honestly think Quincy wasn't familar enough with Prince's work to have valid opinion. It sounds like he was basing it on Prince's minimalist sound of the mid 80s. He sound's just too dismissive and basic to have an indepth incite to Prince's work. Was Prince the greatest piano player in the world? No. But I think he was expressive and in tune with himself in many ways that a lot of a better trained musicians weren't. With Prince it was about the feeling of the music not the complexity.

Quincy wasn't just digging at Prince piano skills but his work as a whole. What would Quincy come with in the studio by himself without the help of phenomenal songwriters, and musicians? Quincy is primarily an arranger. He could put the pieces together but couldn't come up with those pieces by himself. Would he like his work to be judged based on his average skills as a trumpet player and pianist?

You got all kind of shit wrong in your rant against MJ. Typical. Maybe I missed something but why are you blaming Michael for the “We Are The World” project? Wasn’t that the idea of Stevie Wonder and Quincy Jones? Quincy asked Michael and Lionel to write a song. According to Lionel, Michael was the one who composed the majority of the song, and Lionel stated that he only had minimal imput. WTF does that have to do with Michael “copying” Geldof. You people always come up with BS to take a swipe at MJ. Btw, what gives you the audacity to think that Prince respected Michael anymore than Michael respected him? Speculation? Rumor? It was Michael that always tried to be friendly to Prince, not the other way around. So where do you come up with the rationale that Prince was the o e doing the respecting? Bullshit.

Another topic that you rant about is “vanity”. How the hell are you going to talk as if MJ was vain and Prince was not? Everybody and their “mama”, including everybody that worked with Prince KNEW that he was vain. For YEARS, I have heard people, even fellow artists, speak of how arrogant and vain Prince was. Jimmie and Terry, Morris, Jessie, Andre just to name a FEW. FTR, most people who worked with MJ,met him, or knew him said he was very humble. I’ve never heard ANYONE say that Michael was arrogant around them. Of course, you want to portray MJ in the worst light and act as if vanity only applies to him. I guess you forget that music aficionados that have been around for over 35+ years, like me, know about BOTH Prince AND MJ. You are not regurgitating this crap around some teenager who has not been around to debunk your rhetoric.

FINALLY, as usual, you want to put all the blame on Michael because Prince didn’t participate in the We Are The World project. That was Prince’s decision and his decision alone. WTF did Michael have to do with that decision? Of course, you and others HAVE to drag MJ into your distorted discussion, as an EXCUSE for your agenda to diminish or tear down MJ at every opportunity. Grow the fu*k up, MJ had shit to do with why Prince didn’t participate in We Are The World. Prince wanted to his own thing,because Prince’s vanity would never allow him to work with others on something that he didn’t control. That’s the way Prince was; a d you, other fans and even non-fans know what I am saying is the truth. However, don’t try and act as if MJ was the reason for Prince’s vanity decision.FTR, I have no problem with Prince submitting his own song to the album. I just have a problem with him acting as if the project wasn’t worthy of his involvement. That was arrogant and vain.

I’m truly sick of people stirring the MJ vs Prince pot. It has no validity and makes you and others like you look immature and insecure.

MJ didn't have anything to do with prince declining. But claiming that prince was just too arrogant to participate is also kinda shitty.

F Quincy Jones. Without MJ he would just be an average producer, he knew MJ was afraid of Prince.

I think it's the constant bashing the song and people even blaming MJ, Q and others involved in the making of the song for the backlash against Prince is what aggrivates fans.

From what I can tell, the only people who bring up Prince not showing up, the (undeserved) crap he got afterwards and shitting on the song (as corny as it can be seen as) are Prince fans

A LOT of people didn't take Pryor seriously back then because he was a comedian.Comedians can get away with saying a lot of things especially back then and people thought they were joking.

I guess. Pryors material was always about his life.

I read Pryor's book "Pryor Convictions" and he mentioned (in his younger years) that he fell in love with a male prostitute who dressed and looked like a woman. He mentioned his alleged bi-sexuality every now and then in his comedy. So when Quincy said it, I wasn't surprised.
