Stevie Wonder, are you serious!?
Stevie is a poet, an inspirational artist. He has grwon through disco, funk and classic rock. He is danceable, singable real music. He is a real favorite of mine!
Read these lyrics...
A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city...ee ha!
His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeah!
His sister's black but she is sho'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city...um hum
Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
Living just enough, just enough for the city...
Living just enough...
For the city... ooh, ooh
(Repeat several times)
His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
He spends his life walking the streets of New York City
He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution
He tried to vote but to him there's no solution
Living just enough, just enough for the city...
yeah, yeah, yeah!
I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel no where could be much colder
If we don't change the world will soon be over
Living just enough, stop giving just enough for the city!!!!

Duh! Is this a joke question? STEVIE WONDER!!! Prince is not in the same league. Stevie Wonder is on the level of the Beatles or BB King or Willie Nelson. Hes a legend!
How many classic Prince songs are there? A few if any. I would say none are "classics". Stevie Wonder has dozens.

2 totally different types of artists. I Love them Both, but if I had to choose, it would be Stevie all day. Stevie is soul behind so many artists that we consider talented. I Love You Stevie Wonder!

Stevie Wonder, he was one of the originals.
10 bucks says if you asked Prince his influences, Stevie Wonder would be one of them.

Prince is about the best black guitar player since Hendrix. And he is very talented with style and lyrics. But Stevie has him beat in a futher range of talents, lyrics. and social concerns.

Stevie Wonder's Great, but Prince is well..the Prince! His music remains to be relevant. It's danceable, meaningful and just well funky!

Prince, because when you wave at Stevie Wonder he doesn't ever wave back. He's soooo stuck up like that. Plus he's REALLY fat now and fat people should all go away to the fat planet where everything is made of marshmellows and little goats run around licking your feet as The Archies sing "Sugar, Sugar" in the background while it rains lollipops which really hurts when they land on your head ever since ZANDOR, LORD OF EVERYTHING THAT IS PLAID said that we can't wear our helmets anymore since they clash with our lime green jockey shorts made of really sheer silk with flower designs all over them.
