That's the issue.

To me Prince is to Michael what Chaka and Patti are to Aretha.
Chaka and Patti couldn't quite reach the acclaim and impact of Aretha but they still influenced and get enough props to be appreciated years later. Prince was Michael's biggest competitor in the '80s. I do think they will always be compared, which makes me think Prince is more appreciated than people say. Not many people talk about Lionel Richie or George Michael like they do Prince or Michael.
