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.
His playing at the end of this is stunning.
First time i have seen this stunning just stunning
Indeed he was. A superb song writer as well.
Really sad news. I think he was taken ill last night when he was flying home from a concert.
RIP, another great musician gone this year
Yes from 3.26 onwards he shows what a very good guitarist he was.
If anyone can name me anyone who could play bass drums keyboards , Hendrix like guitar and brass to his level then name them ......he wrote , produced and played almost all the instruments on all his albums , he was the greatest musician of most of our lifetimes , multi layered , multi talented , micheal Jackson ? Is someone having a laugh ?
Sorry,my post was meant to say,he was taken ill last week when flying home.
Without a doubt , Elvis could only sing , Hendrix guitar , Jackson dance a bit and sing , prince keyboards , bass, drums , guitar , sax , dance , produce , write all his own stuff
He wasn't in my play list but without a doubt a fabulous musician, I agree with your post above
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!First time i have seen this stunning just stunning
What?
Absolutely outrageous playing. Magic.
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.
