Where did you get this?? I've said i prefer 80s Stevie to 90s Prince. Are you making stuff up to try to make my post less valid or not reading? And you haven't really responded to what I've said about Prince not being able to perform most of his songs without feeling embarrassed

I'm talking about songs written for other established artists not for the proteges. Prince has written songs for a lot of talented artists from Celine Dion to Chaka to No Doubt yet most of them didn't stick. You think if Stevie Wonder had written an entire album for Chaka it would've been as bad as what Prince did with her???
Stevie got a better track record with writing songs for established artist without even trying as often as Prince
and "I Can't help it" is better than anything Prince wrote for anyone imo

Not really.. unless hits mean something different to you...

Battle fierce and close in the singing category?? You're probably in the minority here
and which music aged better Prince's or Stevie's to you?? be honest
As for songwriting.. Prince always been stuck in Prince world writing his songs. That's why a lot of his songs don't resonate with the masses... Stevie on the other hand saw the world better than Prince despite being blind and wrote songs that more people could relate and connect to. Even his former engineer thought Stevie was a messenger and said he may be the greatest songwriter of all time.


>But I'll take P's overall musicianship and prime stage show
>over Stevie's....

That's a though one which is why I haven't said anything about Stevie being a better musician.. but if you want to compare with each instruments...
Guitar : Prince wins easy of course
Drums : Stevie wins easy
Piano and Synth : Stevie
Bass : probably Prince but they both have different style of bass playing
even in this departement I'd go with Stevie after comparing but you can't go one way or another.. it's close
As far as live performing goes.. that's dosen't really have much to do with the topic and Prince got an advantage there because he's not blind

I've said i prefer Stevie's 80s output to Prince's 90s and onward which is no hate just the truth.
