Sly Stone
Joni Mitchell
James Brown
Earth Wind & Fire
Curtis Mayfield
Chaka Khan

What do they think of the man? Did they comment about him by any chance? Do they feel proud of him?

Joni Mitchell has described him once as "a strange duck".

Chaka Khan does her best not to mention Prince since their split in 1998/1999. The rumour goes there were some differences regarding money issues.

I've never heard anything from Curtis Mayfield regarding Prince. Unfortunately, we don't have a chance to hear it now.

For the rest, I don't know.

Hmmm,,,I don't know if I can label that as a diss or not



Actualy, he came backstage in one of her recent concerts in MPLS, she even tried to bring him on the stage 2 join her, they're still cool as far as I'm concern. What I ment is what does she THINK of him as an artist(I already know that he worked 4 her but you can't tell anything str8 from the woman since's she always come up as the moody chic)

James Brown once said that Micheal Jackson studied his moves more then Prince and that Prince was 'alright'.

who knows, nobody's seen head nor tail of that guy...

passed away a couple years back...but dunno if he said anything about p...

Who is Prince?...~I mean really...reallly~

Miles Davis was one of his idols. Miles spoke extensively on his admiration of Prince. Miles' latest DVD has an interview where he emntions a video that Prince directed for Sheila E (I think its Koo Koo).

Dont forget George Clinton and Little Richard. ALl three of these legands can be seen on the INteractive CD room praising Prince.

I think Clinton said it best when he called Prince the "positive nuisance". More than anyone else, Prince has been that throughout his career - in hiss image, words, and music. He pushes the envelope - like Miles did. And like Miles, he is criticized for it at this late stage in his career after gaining legendary status with the a past vidion that most people dont seem to be able to let go.
