Refs required for praise[edit]

Article needs citations for all the superlatives. 24.165.188.30 07:11, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just the Two of Us[edit]

The closing part of the article about Just the Two of Us needs serious revision. It seems to go in every direction and lacks any kind of transition. Rnbguru (talk) 02:45, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Link to "Prince[edit]

I'm sorry but I am really not very good at editing but the link to the musician "Prince" goes to an article about the royal rank rather than the man. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.79.190 (talk) 20:39, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bless! Done it. However, the rest of the article needs a bit of sorting out. It talks about January 2007 in the future (and then talks about 10 August (today) in the past - but never mind) and also the Hearsay album is credited as reaching No.1 and then says No.2 in the Discography.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 21:13, 10 August 2008 (UTC) Also - who rated this "B"? No way could this article pass as a B with all the mistakes and the fact it has a single reference.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 21:17, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Asleep on stage[edit]

He famously fell asleep during a show in Stockholm around 1990, not once but two or three times, in the middle of the show. Just sitting down, yawning softly and dozing into a solid sleep from which it was hard the first time, and the second impossible to wake him; he even snored on stage. I don't know if it was jet lag or coke but the incident is a celebrated one and he was never again invited to gig in Sweden. Strausszek (talk) 16:38, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Reason For Replacing Alex[edit]

The claim that Prince replaced Alex is false. As per "Prince: A Pop Life" by Dave Hill, Alex was already singing for Flyte Tyme, but Morris' mother (the manager) had the connections. SHE is the one that insisted that Morris should be the lead vocalist. Because of her connections, politics had to win out, and the band reluctantly agreed. Jimmy and Terry obviously made it up to Alex a few years later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avant Garbage (talk • contribs) 03:40, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Allmusic reference is very offensive inaccurate and racist[edit]

Please delete the offensive sentence that he was too black and therefore beeing ousted

i saw the link and it is absolutely offensive and not right......

And by the way who is the guy who has the assumption, that O NEAL loooked to black for prince

even for me as a non black person it s offensive and hurts me. Please delete this
