LOL Boni? She played a little, but she was mainly there for her amazing voice. Girl wasn't doing runs or doing jazz improvs.
In no particular order:
Lisa
Morris
Fink
Cassandra (is that her name?)
Renato Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. |

Don't forget Chance. Hard not to love him. And there was that time Patrice Rushen was on keys on SNL in 1989. |

I stopped connecting with Prince's band around 2001. Sometimes folks stood out. Cora Coleman-Dunham and husband did a bit, but I never connected with Cassandra. Renato is great, but I hated his Smooth Jazz Lite 98.3FM - The Light influence on Prince. Chance was there then gone. I never enjoyed Kat as a guitarist, and we all have a Kirk story. I guess in some ways they became much less interesting characters compared to anyone before 1997.
Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. |

Least liked for me is Renato Neto. It was a bad fit for the ONA/Musicology era IMHO. Didn't like his corny pseudo-jazzy noodling nor his synth patches. RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... |

Dr Fink That guy can play any style and he could have been a keyboard player for any Prince band. Morris Hayes a great team player. Tommy Barbarela amazing at funk rock jazz.Cassandra great understanding of what the song needs.Lisa for the textures and soundscapes [Edited 9/25/20 7:54am]

Well its obvious that Boni can play circles around Mr Hayes lol
Funkman can you specify some nice keyboard work by Boni?
Cause i dont even know if she really played or just stood behind te keys like Kip Blackshire.
Remember Prince had Kip on keys. |

well you putting a person who didnt play keybard on top 5 list says alot.and i dont have
nothing against you but placing Boni on top 5 list of keyboards is the equivalent to having
Andy Allo on top 5 liste of best guitar players in Prince band.
Did she even play? |

Renato played a gorgeous intro to "The Love We Make", 2011, LA.,also great solo in Montreux 2009,
"When U Were Mine"
He often annoyed me with his jazzy style, but he had the chops.
Was Jam that good? |

This is disrespectful to Andy. She is an artist. One of the better voices and songwriters that he has ever worked with. |

Gotta be Lisa at the top spot ... I'm sure I read an interview where someone said she was the one person whose skills Prince couldn't replicate |
