Alicia and Outkast to Induct Prince

I felt the exact same way about Alicia's performance that night, being right in front of her as she played. Though my favorite moment of the night was probably everyone around me chanting at Doug E. Fresh to get his boring ass off the stage.

Also, I think ?uestlove had quoted Chris Rock talking smack about Alicia not knowing 777-9311, but I think that's a bit unfair since girlfriend wasn't even born yet then, was she?

And finally, how are we getting tickets to this Hall of Fame induction? I know I can probably swing something for the inevitable aftershow, but I wanna go to the Waldorf!

Okay... Since you brought it up. This is something that I've been meaning to get straight for years. Help me with some clarification on this. The song 777-9311 was performed by The Time. I'm almost positive of this. Why is Prince always credited with the song? I know I should be researching this myself, but for the sake of participation... Now that I have said it out loud(or rather put it in writing), it's probably a case of Prince being the writer such as with "Nothing Compares To You" performed by Sinead O'Conner or "I Feel For You" performed by Chaka Khan. But I always got the feeling that Prince and The Time were at odds.
This question is probably more suitable for a ?uesto, but there's too many "players" hanging from his short & curlys over there.

Mannnn, ?uestlove's got nothing on me when it comes to Prince trivia (excluding his anecdotes from hanging with the man, he's got an unfair advantage on that). I have been co-producing a semi-annual Prince show at the radio station since 1989, focusing exclusively on unreleased material.

Prince was integral in putting the Time together, crafting their style and image right down to Morris Day's playa persona, it was all basically his idea. He put the group together from the remnants of a local funk band named Flyte Tyme, adding his (sometimes) friend Morris into the mix along with the great Jesse Johnson. Legend has it that Prince had stolen the Dirty Mind track "Party Up" from Morris, and then put him in The Time to make up for that. Originally Alexander O'Neal was the lead singer and Morris was on drums, but Al got booted.

Prince wrote most of their first three albums, including 777-9311 which he named after Dez "Modernaire" Dickerson's phone number. He also played most of the instruments on every track, and produced everything under his Jamie Starr pseudonym.

Yeah they were at odds more and more throughout that period for various reasons, by the third album Jimmy and Terry had broke out already, and Morris and P were on really bad terms.

Anil: Oh my god, how annoying is Doug E Fresh at every Prince concert?

Do your little beatbox, kick a verse from "The Show" and then step aside so the grownups can take care of business!! Do you really think we paid $100 to watch the best musicians in the world stand around while you make us chant "oh-la oh-la ohhh-la" for 15 minutes????

I gotta say though, one of the most incredible moments I've seen at a Prince show was at the Prince/Larry/Chaka show at Irving Plaza, where the show was ending and Prince and the band were walking offstage, but Doug kept beatboxing and then George Benson came over and started improvising over his beat, killing it.

It was so sick that Prince must have felt like he was getting upstaged, so he came back out and started accompanying them, plucking out a bassline on the keyboard. Soon the rest of the band came back out too (i'm told they had already started getting on the bus at that point), and they wound up playing much longer than planned..

That was maybe the only time I've seen Prince, the ultimate control freak and master of the stage, swept away in a spontaneous moment and taken along for the ride, then working overtime to become captain of the ship again.

Jay, your cool points are rising high. Thanks for the info.

"only time I've seen Prince, the ultimate control freak and master of the stage, swept away in a spontaneous moment"

Oh that's stupid. That's what the aftershows are for. And there's been a few of those.

Is there a link where I can get the prince performances on the 2004 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame show on VH1?
