chardbass Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Quite possibly one of the funkiest people on the face of the earth. Quirky, but so funky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubinga5 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) as ive got older i have appreciated his genius more and more.. for me hes one of the master musical, players, writers.. they do exist these days but times have changed.. he played bass on this track in the studio version..... i cant think of a funkier pop song... when this track breaks its the sh*t..

But seriously... [url="http://www.gigwise.com/photos/47655/3/The-Greatest-Rock-N-Roll-Myths"]http://www.gigwise.com/photos/47655/3/The-...ck-N-Roll-Myths[/url] Seeing Prince at two aftershow parties was a life changing experience for me, he's an astounding band leader. He manages to get his musicians to achieve amazing levels of team work when they're improvising. The people who work with him show a huge amount of respect even after they've been booted out of his band. There were rumours on one of the fan sites that he had been accused of taking credit for Wendy and Lisa's work while collaborating on Under the Cherry Moon soundtrack amongst others. There's some support for that on their [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendy_%26_Lisa"]wiki page[/url] which also mentions they later on fell out with Trevor Horn in a big way, too.
