Prince and the Revolution
Prince and the New Power Generation
Prince and 3rd Eye Girl
what an incredible once in lifetime artist
electric performer, virtuoso musician, unbelievable vocal range.... he did it all blues, rock, funk, r&b, alternative rock, new wave, jazz,... Had incredible bands just amazing
dude was a master of pop hooks... I remember in 1983 the first time I heard Prince play the song 1999 live. James I swear to you I said WTF
I had just never heard a musician combine pop, funk, r&b and wrap it up in such a catchy hook and the lyrics of the song... I mean how many artist were writing POP records about the apocalypse and return of Christ and make it a party anthem - This guy!
Prior to his death I had a chance to see Prince play in Baltimore in May 2015. He played in order to help the city recovery from the riots weeks earlier. Almost a year later he was dead. Huge regret that I did not go see him that night
Anyhow... I miss my eccentric friend.... I wish more people knew how talented this man was
I will add I've seen Earth Wind & Fire multiple times and that band was just sick .... loved them
