      Well, he did have a slight issue with Prince. Or maybe it was the other way around, cause Prince didn't like the idea of DC commenting on how their brand of performing was incredible by way of their locale ("I can't believe this stuff like this comes out of Minneapolis") Rubbed the Purple One the wrong way, in gray fashion.

      If you watch that episode of You Bet Your Life with their parents and 6 of the children, you can see Patricia looked the most like their mother when their mother was younger. It's an uncanny resemblence. That episode had Olympia, Leon Jr, James, Charmaine, Edmund & Ricky. They were so well behaved & Ms. Shirley was pregnant with Angie. Like Groucho Marx said, "lovely family"!
