Prince on the other hand wrote most everything himself and produced it all too...oh, and often played all the instruments. For me, it's a no brainer: Prince is the victor.

It doesn't matter. Stevie Wonder still wrote alot of his work and to sit here and say that Prince wrote ALL his work is not accurate. For the most part both artists wrote most of their work but both at some point or another has had a hand in the writing aspect which is nothing wrong with it. There still talented. Stevie Wonder was heavily involved with the production and the creation of the music, literally in almost all his work. He may not have played every single piece of instrument on every song that he has made but for the most part he played a key role in the music BUT the same goes with Prince. Prince doesn't play all the instruments on EVERY song he has written so why hold that against Stevie?
Stevie Wonder and also alot of other artists open doors for prince and made it so he could do alot of the things that he has done AND no I'm not naming him one of prince inspirations but just what he contributed to music in general and especially as a black artist.
The mere fact that Prince plays instruments is nothing "innovative" because their are plenty of musicians and artists who played all instruments who were black BEFORE prince.
Stevie and Prince BOTH are great.
Prince is great but Stevie Wonder surpasses. Just because Prince writes and plays instruments doesn't make him no better, once again Stevie Wonder does the same and was doing it long before Prince came into the music industry.
