Curtis Mayfield started the Impressions, for god's sake. He helped launch Jerry Butler. "People Get Ready" is better than anything Prince has ever done, from not only a songwriting perspective, but also from a aspect of impact on the game. Nothing Prince has done has affected the music community much, but People Get Ready was one of those songs that helped to totally change music. Also, it sounds as good today as it did 50 fucking years ago.
EASSSSSSSILY Curtis Mayfield on this one.

Okay I agree that it is Mayfield, but I have a question, How did MJ change music? For the better?

That's irrelevant to this discussion, and it's also irrelevant to the MJ/Bruce discussion, because Bruce didn't change music, EITHER.

Prince redefined a genre like no other artist before or after him has. i mean look at soul and funk music before 1999 and purple rain paisly park and sign of the times and then look at it after...hell prince had even MJ taking notes.

You should do your homework before you say something so stupid. Read up on Curtis Mayfield, he wasn't just the guy that did "Supafly".
