Yeah, it may not be Prince's "fault". She also rejected material from Charles Mingus for heaven's sake! She rebuffed the Chieftains when they repeatedly asked to remake "Magdeline Lauderies" with her vocal. (Eventually she accepted.) She chose not to contribute to Karen O'Brien's biography. It's her method of operation. Her pattern. Joni is permenantly unavailable.
Lamadoo James in Urbana IL asked: <<What-ever happened to the collaboration between Prince and Joni?>> Bob from South Carolina answered: > It never materialized...Joni says that Prince approached her with some songs, but they were too 'out there' for her, Prince being the combiner of the profound & the profane that he is.
