After the music of course, is his work ethic.

I use to admire the fact that even after Prince would put out a album of "nothing but jams" he would still follow it up the next year. A lot of people wait two years or sometimes five.

Then he would write and record for his spin-off groups and have all of the bands rehearse and tour.

One thing about Prince no matter which band you prefer player or personality-wise they have all been tight.

very true - I find it quite amazing that even at moments of no inspiration, he still records. This might be also the reason we get some crap instead of music, but one needs to admire the man for his hard work. Another reason I'm here.

Agree. I still remember clearly musicians talking about these looong working hours and adding anyway that he wouldn't ask them to do something he wouldn't do... the "problem" was that he is a"long worker".
