Prince was that rare force of nature that painstakingly created itself. A force of nature that by its own existence multiplied exponentially into a variety of components.

There was clearly an unreal amount of talent existing on the north side of Minneapolis in the 1970's.

That talent would produce a fictionesque amount of hits records, money, and artistic expression by some young cats in Hennepin county. If you wrote it into a film, it would be rejected. Prince's drive drove others. Prince's personal discipline forced those others to produce mountains of greatness generated from within and without.

The Time was an extension of Prince that would come to surprise even Prince. Morris Day was a shy drummer who became an iconic frontman. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis were very good players who became genius songwriters. Jesse Johnson was an enigmatic guitarist who became a funk rock guitar hero. Jellybean Johnson & Monte Moir were background for the Time who spent a decade at or near the gaudy heights of record production and hit songwriting. Every one of the aforementioned had major issues with Prince. Every one of the aforementioned would say they owe their career to Prince Rogers Nelson.

You're telling me there was a moment in time when Prince and Morris and Jimmy and Terry and Jesse and Monte and Bean and mirror man Jerome Benton toured the world...dam. You say they grew up together...naw. Wait...they made records too...wow. They made a movie about it...?

    I just LMAO 😂 when Jesse Johnson said they got Prince back from the egging during their show, by putting a big pair of drawers (probably men’s underwear) in Prince coat pocket while he was performing “Let’s Work”. He pulls them out thinking they were women’s panties, and they were male drawers. I was dying laughing imagining seeing that sh*t in my head, picturing the look of shock on Prince’s face during his performance. 🤣🤣🤣

    I absolutely hate the fact that I'm old enough to have grown up with this music, but at the same time elated that I'm old enough to have experienced these great band's awesomeness! Entertainer's and music of today could never compare!..R. I. P Prince and Vanity!

    As good as prince was, i believe he lost himself and had no real connections and that cost him to live a very lonely life. At the end no children or a wife. To me that was to much of a price to pay. ❤ him still.

    It's crazy how everyone who had some bomb ass music solo was all involved with Prince, Terry Lewis and Jimmy jam, and Morris Day I had no idea Alexander o neal was in that circle I love his music

    Prince invented his own nemesis just to further his own talent.

    In the 80s If Prince and Morris Day, would have been like Barry Gordy and Smokey Robinson and started their own records company, they would have cornered the market for 15 years easy.

    Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Jessie Johnson, The Time, Andre Cymone, Dez Deckerson, The Revolution all had tremendous talent yet they struggled after departing from Prince as artists. Jimmy and Terry produced others yet The Time dwindled. Jessie produced others as well as Andre yet their solo careers suffered because Prince set the bar so high and the industry wanted them to sound like him and they wanted to do their own music and most people did not want that. Andre said he was black balled and tried to get things done and was blocked. I guess they did not want him to get in Prince's way. Andre could have been huge he had the looks and the talent. He really had the whole package yet he was blocked.

    I have been saying for 20 years that we need a book or a movie based on Prince and the Minneapolis connection from his childhood thanks for the inspiration I wish Prince was still here to give us a reunion tour with his fomer group's

    I wish Prince would have let The Time do there music more. He held them back because they were getting huge and would over shadow him. Although Prince created the conflict for marketing purposes and it was not real in the beginning it snow balled into a real conflict between them. Morris did say Prince would have them fly out then cancel them at the last minute and did not pay them. I guess Prince wanted to prove he had power. I still am not sure why he would play his friends like that when he knew how hard it was to make it in the music business. Also, when Prince was on MTV and said "Come get this hit you know you need it..." to Andre you can hear the shade and how he was making a joke of Andre. He was basically saying Andre you are not relevant so here is a song to put you on the map. I know Andre was mad about that. Vanity said that Prince tried to hold her back and would not pay her what she was worth and that is why she left. Why Prince did these things is beyond comprehension. Can you imaging if Vanity was in Purple Rain? It would have been more real and possibly even better. The weird thing is that Apollonia was a carbon copy of Vanity. They really did not change much at all. She wore the same clothes and wore her hair just like Vanity. It was kind of creepy. Vanity had changed her image and became more seductive instead of the hooker image Prince had gave her. The first album of Apollonia 6 she is posed in a very similar way as Vanity's first solo album. They look so a like and you know Prince did that on purpose however that is where the similarity stopped because Vanity is a great performer and Apples was not. Vanity could really dance and made it look effortless and Apples looked stiff all the time. Vanity actually did much better when she left Prince unlike many of the others.
