Something was said that he was actually already "approved" but was not able to attend the ceremony so they held onto it.

But anyway a great oversight was finally corrected!

That's correct, he was due to be inducted June 2016. Was tragically never to be, but at least he knew he was going to be honoured with this.

I do it find it interesting that it was announced at the Target center PR showing with Mark Webster (fired by Londell & Co.) and the other Nelson family members not named John...the same PR show that Sheila, Mitch Maguire (former PP director) and Greg Brooks (who dooesnt come out for sheet).

For something this big and with an organization like the Songwriters Hall of Fame you would think they would announce it in conjunction with the "Estate" and/or at PP...and not the family who are on the other side of arbitration. I don't see this as choosing sides....but it is def a missed opportunity on the part of Londell/whomever. And the PP social media still hasn't made any post about his induction. It is sad indeed...they have shown no interest in collaborating (the Celebration 2025 email I am doubtful. Feels like they put up collaboration opportunities to shut ppl up)....The PRN Memorial Hwy was a big thing and it got Mark fired...they miss opprotunities.

Makes me glad that I went to see Prince when he was alive and performing back to back shows at the Fillmore in 2014 and then the Revolution show with Stokley Williams on vocals. That was a great tribute concert. Saw it in SF and Austin. That's when I felt like it was a true celebration of Prince's music and life. And I will leave it there. Done and won.

Prince fans always whining about his lack of inclusion in this then when I want to discuss, say, the Bria Valente album or Elisa Fiorello, LITERAL crickets.


I feel like you gotta at least enjoy some semblance of the guy's songwriting work for others to genuinely believe he's really deserving of being in this thing. There's probably like 10-15% that actually do, but a significant portion of Prince fans actively disdain his proteges.

Who gives a shit about it if he's not able to perform anymore to go with the honor.
Everybody already knows Prince is among the finest songwriters.
If he were really due to be inducted back in June 2016 (!) Then why didn't they award him at the time? Why wait 8 years more for it?
Because that's buuuuulshit.

I would've thought he was instantaneously approved the very first time he uttered "...Trojan and some of them used...". cool

Known for his ability to blend rock, funk, pop, and soul, Prince's songwriting was always ahead of its time, challenging norms and pushing boundaries.

Has the estate even recognized this achievement yet? It has been a month!
