Lord please Goggle them. I am amazed that people can be fans of Prince and not know anything about other RnB/Funk groups.

Just seen the midnight repeat. Norman did them wrong, when he made that "chickens in suits" comment. These guys were against Gwen from the start and Norman fed on that.



He learned from the best lol

He is SO stuck in the past. Of course he's also a raging alcoholic, so go figure.

Lequeint Jobe aka "Duke" was pretty piss about not getting paid. "Duke" said he went to Whitfield on his death bed and asked why he didn't pay him his money.

I really enjoyed that episode.

It's too bad that so many young, naive artist got ripped off the way they did. When you're poor and somebody hands you a few thousand in cash, you're like eek

..meanwhile the royalties you are entitled to may be 4 or 5 times that!
For all of his talent as a song writer/producer and help developing R.R, Whitfield was wrong for not giving them the $$$ they deserved.
His argument that he spent money on clothes etc, is moot. He made much more than he ever invested in ONE HIT SONG let alone the multiple platinum albums R.R had.

But like someone posted earlier, "he learned from the best"

Can't wait for Sylvester next week smile
