    For sure. Dez Dickerson's voice was the bomb. I'm surprised he didn't hit it big in his own right.

    My favorite parts of Purple Rain all involve Morris Day and Jerome.

    Purple Rain was right in the middle of my college days. First concert where I waiting overnight in a line for tickets (spectacular performance by Prince.) I remember seeing the movie (unfortunately before great movie sound systems) but that opening club scene with Let's Go Crazy was awesome. And that CD is right up there with Thriller.

    yeah, jackson's music carried such lyrical depth ... of a wounded mole, possibly.

    You can debate his music whatever you want; but as someone who grew up hearing ABC and Dancing Machine on AM radio, then to see him on the 1984 Grammys (Billie Jean performance) then 1988 Grammys (10mins.), man he was electric, something that has never been topped on TV (IMHO).

    Surely you're being too harsh ... Shirley.

    Who else ever copped a Golden Globe for a song to a killer rat?

    name anything jackson did that had lyrical depth other than ebony and ivory and man in the mirror. and i highly doubt that somebody so devoid of lyrical talent wrote either one of those.

    Ebony & Ivory was Stevie Wonder.
