True on all the instruments, but Mike had a pretty spectacular voice, especially for pop, and he had breadth in his compositions. Prince did have a pretty versatile voice, but Mike wasn't shabby, even if it lacked versatility it had the passion and even that kind of nonchalant skill that Marvin or Jimi utilized (though not as good as either).

Both Prince and Jackson run a tight race as studio producers. Jackson wins in the dance choreography category, although Prince had some original moves himself.

This album has to be outstanding. Prince always placed emphasis on Bass Line almost in the same way as Peter Gabriel did.

iconic, still gets the rounds in my cd rotation

one of the best albums of all time
