Prince's MJ Tribute
« on: December 10, 2011, 09:42:12 PM »


Anyone catch this? My first time seeing it was a few weeks ago.

It's definitely not the first time Prince has covered Michael Jackson, and according to several books published in the 90's he covered him more than a few times,  but it's great to "see" royalty respecting royalty. I dig the little "homage" steps at the 36 second mark.

One thing I have noticed, Prince seems to cover only, to my knowledge, music that MJ is credited to have written/produced/co-produced. I.E. Shake Your Body/Don't Stop Til You Get Enough etc. rather than songs produced written by others.  I thinks it's a great touch..acknowledgement of Michael's under credited artistic skills.

Bravo to our Royalty.
