Hi,
I am writing a big article on Prince for one of the most influential weekly magazines in Poland called "Polityka". My deadline is tomorrow and I am in desperate need of the following information:

-all of Prince's band members from the beginning up to now

-every collaboration he has ever engaged into, guest appearances, stars that appeared on his records.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Papaj

Tomorrow? Even compiling a list of names could take you all night.

There's a (near) complete list of all FEMALE collaborators here:

http://www.prince.org/msg/5/42860

Hope this helps.

The folowing names are missing from that list:

Candy Dulfer,
R.A.D.,
Beyoncé Knowles.

Prince Rogers Nelson

Height
5' 3" (1.60 m)

Trade mark
In song titles, usually replaces "to" or "too" with "2", "for" with "4", and "you" with "U". (Example: I Would Die 4 U.)

Trivia
In May 2000 Prince dropped the symbol he adopted as a name. He had used the symbol because he considered his record contract oppressive and the contract was up in 2000.

The symbol to which Prince changed his name (which is best rendered as ether O{+> or in normal ASCII characters), has always been pronouced in English as "Androgyny." The Androgeny symbol originated in and was borrowed by Prince from ancient Europe.

Son, with Mayte Garcia, born with the rare skull disease Pfeiffer's syndrome, and unable to breathe without a ventilator. The child was taken off life support on 23 October and died. [16 October 1996]

Changes his stage name to [7 June 1993]

Has dated several famous women before settling down: Kim Basinger, Apollonia Kotero, and Sheena Easton to name a few.

Started the careers of Vanity and Carmen Electra amongst others.

Son of jazz pianist John L. Nelson.

One of very few artists who has denied 'Weird Al' Yankovic permission to parody any of his songs.

The Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame's newest inductee. (Mar. 2004)

A very short man, he often has to wear large shoes on stage so not to be dwarfed by some female singers.

Personal quotes
"There's only one King of Kings and Lord of Lords... Jesus Christ" from: Rave un2 the Year 2000 (1999)

"You can always renegotiate a record contract. You just go in and say, 'You know, I think my next project will be a country and western album.'"

"People say I'm wearing heels because I'm short. I wear heels because the women like 'em."

"Cool means being able to hang with yourself. All you have to ask yourself is 'Is there anybody I'm afraid of? Is there anybody who if I walked into a room and saw, I'd get nervous?' If not, then you're cool."
