I think Prince had said that Joni influenced him in the way of how
music can be colored. James Brown was another strong influence. SO, you put
the two together, you have an oversexed, colorful, exciting, versatile
musician. I can actully picture joni doing a cover. I can (for some unknown
reason) picture her doing "DIRTY MIND", especially on the line, "Your the
one I want to drive". I dont know why, but it seems like it could fit.
