Before W&L's impact dude was making
>classics
No doubt albums like Controversy, 1999, and Dirty Mind were creations of his genius, but the offerings of W&L (Mountains, 17 days, most of ATIAD,etc) signaled a growth in him that he didn't really dive into anymore after they left. Instead, we got the 'Glam Slam' era where he had nothing but yes men around him and no quality control.
As far as the quantity of output, if I'm not mistaken didn't the Beatles do the same thing? Some say they just got better. Eventually everybody loses steam. Prince was able to live off his name when he did...
