I mean u can roll with Stevie and u wouldn't be wrong....But come on...lol....Prince's was def. in Stevie's league as a songwriter...

You can go back and forth on his "singing" and say that he wasn't as strong vocally as Stevie....But songwriting? Anyone that could go from penning a "Head" to "Little Red Corvette" to a "Manic Monday" and then knock out a "The Ballad Of Dorthy Parker" was def. running with Stevie....
