Prince was a douche as usual, not wanting people to look at him singing and wanted to play guitar in a separate room alone. He was upset that Lionel and Michael told him that the music to the song was already written and did not need music. Prince then stayed home. Sheena Easton was upset and felt used to get Prince there and they did not ask her to sing a solo part. |
It was Sheila E., not Sheena Easton (she wasn't there). And yes she was interviewed and talked about Prince, and explained why she felt used.
I don't have information if Stevie was asked, as I said in my first post, I wonder if they asked her to participate. But being popular in the 80s, I'm curious why they didn't ask her (and asked Lindsey instead) if they didn't. It was early 1985, she didn't release an album in '84 but The Wild Heart was a great success in '83 so she surely still was considered a star. Lindsey was included, though Go Insane ('84) just peaked at #45. He was mentioned at the beginning of the doc: "and we asked t
You make us crazy!
I laugh with resignation but inside I feel frustrated sometimes. Why, why is it that men do stupid things and women get the blame? Why is it that when a woman aptly communicates how she feels, she is touted as being over-emotional and whiny – but it’s apparently much better for a man to play head-games, emotionally shut down and fail to show any kind of honesty even if he’s dying on the inside to do just that?
Seriously, and then it starts; “Oh yeah, I dated this crazy bitch once…” and we end up one of their stories that they get to share with their equally arrogant friends. Here’s a tip, women go crazy because they are constantly treated like shit for wanting to recognise the good in a man no matter what stupid thing he does or how insensitive and hurtful he has been. They go ‘crazy’ because after constantly making excuses for the jerk that has done wrong, putting up with the constant bs and trying with great fervor against her better judgment to help the situation – it blows up in our faces, we get hurt and we never get resolve.
And for the life of me, I can’t be bothered playing games anymore. Sometimes I find it hard to talk about things that are bothering me for the lack of wanting to cause conflict – this is an issue I’ve run in to on more than one occasion in the past – but I’ve found that most men carry on an entire relationship with not saying what they want to say – failing at communication and ending up ruining it. There’s the whole biblical thing about pointing out a speck in your eye when you can’t see past the log in your own… but hey, whatever.
I want to say I can’t figure men out – but that’s not true. They’re actually very simple to figure out. Most cannot be completely honest to save a life, and those who are, are usually either arrogant, cruel or have ridiculously large egos.
Makes me even wonder why I should bother...?

The Funk Brothers were a group of Detroit-based session musicians who performed the backing to most Motown recordings from 1959 until the company moved to Los Angeles in 1972.
Its members are considered among the most successful groups of studio musicians in music history. Among their hits are "My Girl", "I Heard It Through the Grapevine", "Baby Love", " I Was Made to Love Her", "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone", "The Tears of a Clown", "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", and "Heat Wave". Some combination of the members played on each of Motown's 100-plus U.S. R&B number one singles and 50-plus U.S. Pop number ones released from 1961 to 1972.
There is no undisputed list of the members of the group. Some writers have claimed that virtually every musician who ever played on a Motown track was a "Funk Brother". There are 13 Funk Brothers identified in Paul Justman's 2002 documentary filmStanding in the Shadows of Motown, based on Allan Slutsky's book of the same name. These 13 members were identified by NARAS for the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and were recognized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
In 2007, the Funk Brothers were inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum.
