Dear Mr Man = Family Affair

Can u relate?
How can a non-musician discuss the future of music
From anything other than a consumer point of view?

Have you actually listened to Family Affair? Comparing the two songs is a terrible analogy in my opinion.

Does anyone hear any resemblance between the chorus of Family Affair and.... Diamonds and Pearls?

BTW, Prince acknowledged a similarity between the bassline of The Question of U and Just like a Baby, also from There's a Riot Going On.

I have felt the same thing and agree.

I dont think any of the notes are the same but the "feel" is very similar (as well as the tempo).
When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

What about Family Affair and The Ballad of Dorothy Parker?
Always thought those two sounded like cousins...
