..what a great find, Ryan and how incredibly young they all look..that really must be the ultimate legend line up..I don't recall, was Prince a part of USA for Africa..?..I couldn't see him in the pic but maybe I've just missed him...

...also, is that Kim Carnes next to Paul Simon because she also looks like Linda McCartney...

No, Prince wasn't a part of it. There's been a lot said about him not being involved. Nothing ever official He was offered the chance, but declined. I believe one story is he didn't like the song. He then offered to do a guitar solo on the song, Quincy Jones said no, but he then did a song for the album I think. He then sent a member of the Revolution, his band, to go I think.

Quincy Jones is a tw@t which may of also played a part. Still, I don't really see any great excuse. He really should of done it for charity. However, he did a tour which gave a lot to charity which I guess sort of made up for it a bit. It effected his career big time. It certainly played some of a role as to why he was never as big as MJ. Many other reasons behind that, however.

There was the old supposed rivalry between him and MJ cited as another possible reason. I don't really believe that whole rivalry thing though. Both of their heroes were James Brown... that's where the similarity ends, in my opinion. Both are so different.

There are stories of them shooting hoops at Prince's recording studio, why would they do that if they were rivals? He also sung Don't Stop Til' You Get Enough on a tour shortly after Michael died.

And yeah, it's Kim Carnes. :)

..didn't he still do a song for the album though..?..you never know with Prince I guess but I did read up a little and it's uncertain whether it was just that he didn't like the song or whether he was uncertain of government corruption etc and whether the charity monies would actually get to where they were needed and meant to be..?..I know that there was a lot of controversy over the whole Band Aid thing and that so much aid didn't actually get through..?..anyway, he's Prince/the Artist and quite unique and unpredictable...:laugh:...he is actually quite brilliant I think ..I also agree that although quite different styles and artists, I always felt that MJ and Prince had mutual respect for each other but maybe it's more 'dramz' to think that they didn't and didn't like each other....similar things have often been said about many artists and there has been no truth in them at all...

Yeah, he did a song for the album. He's never been one to mix with other artists really. And he's a perfectionist. So having no input on the lyrics probably would of bugged him.

Totally agree that he's brilliant. He's a musical genius in my opinion. Writes, produces, can play a ton of instruments and dance. Wrote hits for others also. Manic Monday by The Bangles was written by him. He also wrote Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares To U. And Chaka Khan's I Feel For You was originally sung my Prince.
