Interesting that Prince has never sold the amount of records as Elvis to Michael Jackson or even Mariah Carey- YET!!

No one has had more influence over stars than the Purple One- directly/indirectly.


One of Sinead Oconner's biggest song "Nothing Compares to you" A Prince remake.
R & B singer Chaka Khan hadn't had a hit since the previous decade- she breaks out with "I Feel for you" A Prince remake.

Fine little Sheena Easton's last big hit "You got the Look" A Duo with Prince.

One night- his opening band The Time couldn't play because their bass player Terry Lewis and Keyboardist Jimmy Jam missed their flight due to a snow storm- while trying to do side work with a singer named Cherelle.- Prince behind the curtain- played bass--then fired both guys.

Point- Both guys out of work -before heading back to Minneapolis ran into a fan- her name : Janet Jackson. They talked. Then all 3 went to Minneapolis and recorded what would be her biggest selling album/cd CONTROL.

Only to be outdone next by Rhythm Nation-

Had Prince #1- dug these guys up from his high school band #2. Fired them....The world would NOT have had Janet and all the Janet wannabes with their 20 dancer- choreographed routines! LOL!

His influence so huge- a dude name Kenny Edmonds would fashion his band after Prince's Revolution.
Take a look at the photos of a band called The Deal- Total Prince wannabes. the lead singer would go on to produce hit after hits for stars like Toni Braxton. Talking about none other than BabyFace.


Prince's sax Player Eric Lead went on to do some seriously heave Fusion Jazz with a band called Madhouse.

No pop whatsoever. Serious Funk to Fusion, though.

Alicia Keys has remade Prince's How Come U Don't call me anymore- another hit from a remake.

Most telling for me- was going to a Prince concert and seeing SO MANY FINE WOMEN wearing camisoles and bikinis...to a CONCERT! You will only see a scene like that at Daytona Spring Break.

Few artists can write songs that can be remade by artists of both gender, different races to different genres of music.


My name is Prince -And I am Funky. On the first day- God made the world. One the 7th day- He made me. My name is Prince the One and Only....
