In a Dutch documentary aired yesterday, the famed songwriters Steinberg and Kelly express their admiration for Prince at several moments during the interview. See:

(first two commercials are shown...)
.
Their fondness of Prince even made them write a song in his style, ‘So Emotional’. Whitney Houston of course had a big hit with it, but in her version, not much of mpls sound is left. However, you can listen to Steinberg’s and Kelly’s original ‘Princely’ version here:

Prince references starting at 8:18 and 24:54, but the whole 30 minutes are worth watching!

It's the younger of the two, Mr. Kelly. It appears that besides being a songwriter, he was also a session and on-stage background singer, amongst others for the band Toto...

Yikes. Listening to the "Prince version" all i can say is yeah no.

I am not a Whitney fan or a fan of that supid song, but her version is far better, And based on record sales, obviously a shitload of people like it too.

Whitney made the right choice with the song obviously, but it is fun seeing how much impact and appreciation Prince received.
