And he did because Prince and his "fancy lesbian" ass came through the door, that was opened in the '80's, which without a doubt, was founded on the advent of MTV and "music videos"! The originator being, Michael Jackson! Now if we take into account, the originator's of Michael Jackson! Then there is no doubt, to me, that HIS originators, were the ORIGINAL originators! Including...James Brown, Frank Sinatra, Danny Kaye, Sammy Davis, Fred Astaire. Gene Kelly, Elvis. Chuck Berry and yes...Little Richard! "Yeah but I AM the originator, I'm just glad Mike gave me my royalties...WOO! " surviving on the thought of loving you, it's just like the water

As far as influence, P has acknowledged LR, as well as Lennon, Miles especially, Joni, Jimi, Sly (which coincides with his close relationship w/ Larry Graham as they're both JWs), JB (which coincided with P using JB's original sax sideman Maceo Parker in his band off and on for the past ten years) as important musical influences. While his "bucket of chicken and a Cadillac" mention was in somewhat poor taste, his intention was explaining how several artists, especially African-American were treated at that time where many were ripped-off from their royalties.

That crack your smoking must be really good. Why don't you say that RnB music wold have come to a halt if MJ was not born (LOL).
Prince has said numerous times he got into music because his Dad was a musician/ Seems to me since he had hit rnb records before Thriller and these records always contained some pop/rock recording he was already motivated without MJ success. Record companies always want artist to sell the maximum amount of music possible so it seems P would have made an attempt to cross over with or without MJ success. ----- HatrinaHaterwitz said: errant said: this is a really disappointing thread. everyone sitting around waiting for the fireworks to start and it's not happening.
