Both James Brown and ESPECIALLY GC brought their bandmembers into the songmaking-procedure in a major way-George Clinton didn't even need to do much himself at all; Bootsy or Hazel or Worell or... had already written or even laid down the backing tracks, riffs etc.

While I know about Wendy&Lisa, didn't Prince still want his finger in everything and pretty much control the musical output (songwriting, arranging, musicianship) 100%?
