now prince did release sign o the times after he broke up the revolution however that album was already in the works before he fired wendy and lisa and a lot of those songs dated back a few years so he had shyt on deck already. but after that album prince started a slow decline with his artistry and slowly new jack swing became the new cool thing and prince while still prince was more of yesterday news in a way when you had guys like bobby brown with don't be cruel, new edition with heartbreak, keith sweat, al b. sure, guy, babyface etc all takin' over

sure, prince is a legend and continued to have a career and in regards to wendy and lisa they were always goin' to be the musicians in his band and that's that. but you have to wonder, just how important and influential they really were to him (and they were because where he was limited in music and lookin' for new shyt to be inspired to, they came in and offered ideas and even put him onto some music) because once they were shown the door, there was a change in his music and those years of prince crankin' out straight masterpieces came to a halt. sure, he had hits post revolution but not like he had with them :whew:

i was just listenin' to this song of wendy and lisa's and was thinkin' bout this :yeshrug:

i use to post on prince forums heavy when i was younger and its pretty known prince took ALOT of ideas from them and shyt they came up with during jam sessions (sorta like the scenes in purple rain). Notice how he fell off (on the mainstream charts) after they left the revolution

oh yeah and i'm a prince but there's no doubt that he had a great group of people around him to bounce ideas off of
wendy and lisa helped him more than most people know; he confided in them with his music and trusted them because they were so close
andre cymone played a big role as his bass player in the early days, pre 1999 album
