Prince isn't dumb when it comes to music. Those were different times, and WB really was an influencial factor in his success. Don't forget, in '92 he signed one of the biggest contracts EVER.

I think Madonna had more bargaining power because she was, simply, more popular than Prince. Not better, but more popular. Her sales, airlplay, and concert revenues prove that . . . that's not my opinion.
