The perfect Prince band I could ever dream of...

I like to fantasize about the perfect Prince band. Mine would be this one:

Prince: Guitar and vocals
MeShell: Bass and backing vocals
Herbie Hancock: Keyboards
John Blackwell: Drums
Sheila E.: Percussion
Maceo Parker: Sax
Fred Wesley: Trombone
Miles Davis: Trumpet
Wah Wah Watson: Rhythm guitar
Angie Stone: Lead and backing vocals
Chaka Khan: Lead and backing vocals

They would play spaced out jazzy funk and soul music for three hours (all new stuff) in an intimate club and I'd be standing in front. Femi Jiya would be there to record the session and Prince would release it on a 3 disc set. After having listened to these recordings for three months (day in and out), I'm ready to die...
RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time...

Wendy Melvoin-Guitar, Bass, Drums, and Vocals
Lisa Coleman- Keyboards, Organ, Piano, and Vocals
Sheila E.-Drums, Percussion, and Vocals
Rhonda Smith-Bass
Susannah Melvoin-Vocals

And that's ALL he WOULD NEED!!! smile

Prince--everything
John Blackwell or Michael B--drums
Sonny T--bass (don't front!)
Kamal from the Roots--keys
Common and Mos Def--filling the Tony M / TC Ellis role!
Trent Reznor--in charge of keeping Larry G and Kirky J out of the studio!

How could I forget Dr. Fink! He would have to do the synth solo on the only rerun of his old hits on the show: "Head"...
