    As purely a musician,apart from Hendrix maybe, then yes 100%.
    I recently heard a version of the Waterboys Whole of the moon played by Prince primarily on slap bass,not a sound im usually keen on but it was fantastic.

    U turn on the telly and every other story
    Is tellin' U somebody died

    Some say a man ain't happy
    Unless a man truly dies
    Oh why
    Time, time

    RIP - not the biggest fan of his. I never really 'got' him but was amazed to learn of his smash hits for other artists such as Nothing Compares To You, Manic Mondays and I Feel For You.

    Have since found out this evening what an amazing musician he was.

    Respect.

    Wasn't Stevie Wonder a similar musician in that he played everything himself on his tracks?

    First time I've seen it too. Mesmerizing, and seemingly so effortless!

    A wonderfully talented musician. He was way ahead of him time - he invented text speak B4 texting had been invented.

    Sad news this. He approached music in the same way as Bowie, he straddled different genres with no respect for boundaries. Took his influences from different artists, anything from Sly and the Family Stone to Frank Zappa, and fused them into something new, something of his own. From 1985-88 Prince was utterly amazing, it did feel at the time that he was one step ahead of everybody else. RIP

    Spot on.

    Influences/channelling that I have noted are (I'll try this chronologically):
    Little Richard
    Sly & the Family Stone / Larry Graham
    Jimi Hendrix
    James Brown
    Stevie Wonder
    Bootsy Collins
    Frank Zappa
    Nile Rogers
    The Jacksons/Michael Jackson
    (many more I'm very sure )

    IMO he 'magpied' from many, added his originality, and a glorious concoction ensued. And influenced countless others.

    Prince died at 57.

    He might have died physically but his music will connect us to him. RIP Prince
