Prince inspired by the patridge family

Is it just me or has anybody ever noticed how Prince dressed alot like the patridge family? Whenever I would watch The show I use to always wonder if he was ever inspired by their style lol That's kinda funny though Prince inspired by the patridge mom smile Anyway I think the patridge family and purple rain had the same producing team which was none other then Magonoli, Ruffalo and Fargonoli. Has anybody else noticed this besides me?

but to me what always gets me is the rapseberry barret pics. I can't even find any, but just think about the video and picture the mom from the patridge family . Every time I see the video it makes me think of her, and one time when I was watching the partridge family on tv, my lil brother was like she looks like Prince, I started rollin on the floor lol

Every since then I been wondering if anybody noticed the silmilarities :Smile:

Well, Michael Melvoin, Wendy's father, composed and recorded most of the original music for the Partridge Family. and Lisa's dad also was a session musician for them as well.

When W & L were little they spent a lot of time in the studio with their dads, watching them work on Partidge Family material/albums.

So...maybe they influenced Prince regarding the Partridge Family. wink

no, dear disbelief Prince didn't get that look from the Partridge family...he got it from Jimi Hendrix, Little Richard, and probably that dude from The Who. biggrin

Wow! 2 of my favorites in the same post!! (Prince...of course, and David Cassidy...who I have to admit was all over my bedroom wall when I was young! smile ) Actually there is a link between the two! Mike Melvoin, who produced the Partridge Family records, is Wendy Melvoin's Dad! She used to hang out on the set when she was a kid...so who knows? Maybe she was the one inspired by their "style"!! smile
