This is the way Prince worked mostly throughout his career. He also had Paisley Park(named after a song he wrote in 1984 and created a record label under the same name) built which housed a full fledged recording studio, performance stage, his instrument room and vault for all his many tapes of music, just a big ass museum because he eventually got tired of going back and forth to LA to record his music.

One thing I will say is if Prince was still alive, we wouldn’t have all this info on him as we have now.

All I can tell you is to go on YouTube and listen to as much of his music BEFORE 1984 as you can. Most of it is work done by only one man.

good shit ker!

MJ had to use guitarist Steve Stevens from Billy Idol’s group for Dirty Diana..

Prince played all the instruments himself for Darling Nikki.

Prince definitely was getting all kinds of pussy back then. Music and sex were the only thing that mattered. He didn’t give a fuck about anything else. I’ll name a few of the chicks he ran through:

Susan(from Vanity 6)
Jill Jones
Vanity
Appolonia
Susannah Melvoin(Wendy’s twin sister)
Sheila E
Sheena Easton
Kim Basinger
Cat(from Sign Of The Times)

This is only a few.

Why did a thread about Michael Jackson quickly become a binary choice thread, with Prince tossed in?

I agree ''they don't care about us'' is genuis. I heard it played at Gossip, the hottest dance club in Saigon (the hottest, at least, during the times the Vietnamese Government didn't have it closed, for reasons of moral turpitude).

Michael also wrote this underrated piece of brilliance

Michael had already had a lengthy, great career before anyone ever heard the name ''Prince''. They are the same age.

and that was before Michael became MICHAEL JACKSON

Michael doing duet with Paul McCartney replacement. Then buying the Beatles music catalog. Genius!

From playing Listening to Strawberry Fields Forever backwards: “Paul is dead. I buried Paul.” Coincidence? I think not!
