bubinga5 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Im aware that he had musical/money/privacy issues . With out wanting to be disrespectful there are a huge amount of Prince records now available on You Tube. which is great for me, because i will still buy his albums irrespective of what i listen to on YT. i think sometimes he underestimated his audience in that way. but i guess he had evidence to prove me otherwise. These are my favourites. The greatest record that had no bass on it. Its just epic, the harmonies, the arrangement. off the wall good. Hi falsetto vocals!!! and his range that he was capable of, His dancing with that woman is just so incredibly good. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfxhRy-iFqs[/media] There is not a lot i can say about this. apart from its just incredible.. His music moves me and makes me tap my foot more than most.

Rich Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 So many to choose from. These will do for starters. [media]http://youtu.be/T8qoTE5AULM[/media] [media]http://youtu.be/ekcc2L9E_hc[/media] Quote
lowdown Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Lots of great tunes from him, but this one always slips under the radar, and yet it is full of soulful catchy hooks. Great writing. http://youtu.be/CcIvdzYuA1Q Edited April 23, 2016 by lowdown Quote
DarkHeart Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Nope not got one, not a fan and cant remember a similar thread for others that have sadly passed away, so why him? Quote

Its a beautiful record, the lyrics are fabulously put together with his sparse guitar playing. i learned from his records its ok to leave space in a record, anticipation is great In music. i always thought the best music is not what you hear., its what you don't hear.

DarkHeart Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 sorry but there wasnt a Lemmy thread or a Jimmy Bain or a Chris Squire thread maybe its just me then that doesnt see the need to all of a sudden gush all over a tragic death? Quote

bubinga5 Posted April 23, 2016 Author Posted April 23, 2016 like Lowdown said. its just fabulous. i played it on Wifes birthday and she's not into Prince . even she loved this fabulous record. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpHxGKo10h8 Quote

[/quote] you could go on and on about playing bass. i think honesty, a moral compass, that many people don't think has got anything to do with bass or music but it so has. i think having those qualities and then having talent on top ., thats everything for me, timing is the standard that everyone should live by. But playing music right is a lot deeper that just picking up an instrument and playing. i just wish i could play with a band like Prince's. Edited April 23, 2016 by bubinga5 Quote
Lozz196 Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 There are a few of his tracks that I like, although am not a fan, but Kiss I just think is a superb track. Quote
YouMa Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Yeah he was pretty good,but i didnt like the later stuff,i love the older 80s stuff but i hate to say i think he was slightly overated.my favourite is still i wanna be your lover. Sad the little dude has gone. He had the balls to do what he wanted. Quote
miles'tone Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Sexy MF. Great cheeky idea for a single, with a groove that still worked even when heavily cut up and edited for radio. Quote
SICbass Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) I love all his funky stuff, of course, but this one has always, right from the very first hearing, brought tears ro my eyes. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zlZONgpmw58 Can't seem to make the video appear in the post. Can someone with a brain fix it please? Ta. Edited April 24, 2016 by SICbass Quote

Highfox Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 So many tracks, depending on my mood. This morning, I wanna be your lover Albums, sign o the times Quote
Bo0tsy Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) I do like a lot of Prince's older 80's stuff best, but "Breakdown" from "Art Official Age" a couple of years ago is IMO both one of the best (most honest) songs he'd written, and builds up to be one of his greatest vocal performances. Edited April 24, 2016 by Bo0tsy Quote
Kirky Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore is breathtaking. B-side of 1999 I think. So may other great records to choose from as well. Quote
