Highly unusual handwritten lyrics by Prince on the reverse of a rare 11 x 17 cardstock poster for a Prince and The Time concert at the Michigan Theatre in Jackson, Michigan, on September 3, 1981. Prince writes out lyrics from Quincy Jones's 1981 song 'The Dude,' in part: "Don't go messin' with his walkin stik (Not the dude) Don't you Double-Cross Him—He's Super Slick—(He's the Dude DaDaDaDa\DaDa\DaDa\) I'm a Stone Cold Taker I'm a Piggy Bank Shaker And I Don't Waste My Time Talkin' trash. So if you Go to my School you gonna Learn this rule don't let your mouth write a check that your body can't cash." In very good condition, with moderate creasing, some light stains, and several horizontal folds. From the collection of an early Prince insider. A track which features James Ingram and Michael Jackson, 'The Dude' melds funk, rap, and R&B with the fledgling music technologies of the 1980s to create a decidedly unique sound. This remarkable genre-blending music clearly influenced Prince, who would release the experimental Controversy in October 1981.
