[VAMike23]

He wrote a bunch of songs made famous by others, including "Stand Back" by Stevie Nicks, "I Feel for You" -- Chaka Khan, "Jungle Love" -- The Time and "Glamorous Life" by Sheila E.

What an incredible talent.

"Jungle Love" .... One of the greatest dance/party songs of the 80s of all time ....!!!

Lots of news sites are picking up on the TMZ report. If you can belive TMZ He was treated with a Narang injection and elected to leave the hospital despite doctors recommending that he stay for 24 hrs.

Some of the stuff on TMZ is specific enough to give it a ringredients of truth. Supposedly he had overdosed on Percoset.

Prince Overdosed One Week Before Death (Report)

Said to have been prescribed Percocet after a hip surgery in 2010. Hope it isn't a drug overdose. "Course he's still dead, but tired of the steady stream of artists dead by the demon.

He also wrote 'Nothing Compares to You" made famous by Sinead O'Connor.

Sinead's cover of "Nothing Compares to You" is nothing short of amazing. It's hard to hold back the tears when I hear her sing this. If I really was smart you would see a video below.

I think they're more reliable than most "real outlets"

When did TMZ sneak up on us and become the most reliable source. It is amazing how they seem to break just about every story and they always seem to be right!

They pay - most "real outlets" do not.

money talks, its the American way! and of course "social media" (internet) is a quick outlet for "breaking news". National Enquirer has been breaking stories for years but they weren't totally reliable (for whatever reason)

Percocet is awful. I was on it briefly after shoulder surgery. It totally messed my system up to the point where I had to go to the ER.

I developed an allergic reaction after a few surgeries, so they moved me over to a cousin.

What I find puzzling is "they" have ruled out suicide, but the toxicology reports are maybe weeks away.
