Purple Gangsterism

Cavallo,Ruffalo,Fargnoli, hmmm? those names sound very italian...I'm not trying to stereotype but i am somewhat supicious, could mafia ties be the reason for Prince's huge success? everyone knows alot of shady stuff goes on in the industry, could the reason Prince music broke down barriers was because he had some people threatening to break some knee caps of industry execs if his royal baddness didn't get any airplay? Just a theory...

read the Book "Hitmen" it goes into that.Earth,Wind&Fire&Ray Parker Jr also had Cavallo,Ruffalo&Fargnoli's Services when they were on top.nothing is by accident in the Industry.Payola&whatnot play a part as well.

I have thought this about them before. I'll bet their ancestors come from Sicily.
