@cmonster67 4 года назад

@Dante Whitley Yes, there are probably a handful that do. It's still far FAR less than the amount that did pre-millennium. It should also be noted that Prince was far from being a Pop Star. Not only did he write his own music and lyrics, he wrote for pop stars who weren't nearly as talented. His music spans many genres beyond just pop music. He also wrote for movies and television commercials. He had his hand in the growth of several performers and groups, far more that pop artists in any era.

Can we just sit and listen to Prince “making each and every guitar he’s ever played “TALK”. Such Finesse. Prince was tired, the industry will rob your soul of happiness, that’s why he never owned a cellular phone. Low key and very private and that’s whether you’re a celebrity or not. Some thats the only way to fine peace, solitude and solidarity. He wrote that song...Chaka and Prince were very close friends. We have lost some of the greatest legends in the music industry, but this is not our home we’re just passing through this thing called “life”. Make sweet beautiful memorable memories. Be happy. Forgive. Love. Laugh. Live because “Time” is something that you’ll never get back... ..and if you’re reading this tell someone today that you love them because one day God will need them back. Love Paula ♥️

@leisareid2806 3 года назад

The Song "Sweet Thing" was actually co-written by Chaka Khan and Tony Maiden, who were bandmates of the Funk and R & B band, Rufus. The song was written for Chaka's then husband, Richard Holland. Rufus originally recorded the song in 1975. Prince learned to play the song as a teenager, being such a huge fan of the group. Of course years later and having the opportunity to work with Chaka directly several times, Prince put his stamp on the song without changing the essence. Regardless, a beautiful rendition, where Prince and his soulful musicianship are deeply missed. 💜

although.. this reminds me of times in concert when Prince would tell the audience to hold up your phones. Before people used to hold up lighters during concerts but since it was a new age with technology etc. holding up phones shining their lights became a new thing :)
