Music Minute!

Did you know that Michael Jackson and Prince once performed on the same stage with their idol James Brown?

The legendary entertainers joined Brown onstage during a show in 1983 for an impromptu performance. This showing was quite significant as the media often touted that Jackson and Prince were involved in a bitter feud – a dispute that reportedly worsened after the former adopted a Glam Rock style for his ‘Bad’ era that was strikingly similar to Prince’s usual fashion.

Ironically, Prince was asked by Jackson to contribute to the ‘Bad’ album on the title track and was supposed to appear in the accompanying video in the role eventually played by Wesley Snipes but he refused. Watch the iconic showing by Jackson, Prince and Brown below:

   Prince has never and will never ever be on Michael Jackson’s level! I’m sorry! no disrespect he is on Janet, and Madonna’s level that’s not a bad thing at all. Michael Jackson was Genius.
