There seems to be a disagreement in the article. Such discussions belong here on the talk page. I have moved the text in question from the article to the talk page while the matter is sorted out.

Who's the boss?

Our article says the the following musicians are referred to as "the Boss":

Bruce Springsteen ("The Boss", born 1949), American singer and songwriter
James Brown (1933–2006), influential 20th century singer and songwriter
Diana Ross (born 1944), actress and singer
Maynard Ferguson (1928–2006), jazz trumpet player
Rick Ross (rapper) (born 1977), American rapper
Ross the Boss Friedman (born 1954), guitarist of The Dictators and Manowar

I know that Springsteen is often called "The Boss", and this nickname is also explained and sourced in his wikipedia article. But our articles on James Brown, Diana Ross, Maynard Ferguson, Rick Ross don't mention such a nickname at all. (Although several of them have written or performed a song by this name.) Do we have any references that these musicians are really (commonly) referred to as "Boss"? --Austrian (talk) 18:58, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No sources so far. So I will remove them. --Austrian (talk) 14:29, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
