Nah.....Basa is pretty much right.

Your dismissive tone of Prince as a musician is indeed a dead giveaway...

Even world class musicians who are known for their specific greatness on their chosen instrument have given it up to Prince as a great instrumentalist....

But hey..I get it. Prince's charisma as a showman and performer had some folks thinking that he was just a great song and dance man....When the truth is he could do James Brown splits while he played the guitar rhythm to "Cold Sweat" like he was in the studio with Maceo and them....

If Prince was white a lot more people would have viewed him more than just a great performer or songwriter....
