SHERWICK Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Yes, Prince was a genius. Just listen to his guitar playing at the end of this clip from 3:27 in: (Also worth pointing out how brilliant Tom Petty and - ESPECIALLY - Jeff Lynne sound too, but you need to listen from the start to hear that!) Anything as good as that nowadays? Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPin Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 One of my friends saw Prince back in the 80s. He was impressed. I think he was talented, and put on a good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many very talented musicians including brilliant guitar players....most people do not know their names...prince was the complete package bundled up marketed and sold very successfully.

Aye Winks, many very good musicians are not household names. You hire then when recording a track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHERWICK Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 I was actually referring to all of them together: Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne (WHAT.A.VOICE!), Dhanni Harrison (of couse, son of the original songwriter George Harrison) and Prince. What an ensemble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an ensemble. The concert for George at the Albert Hall (2002) is a very good watch (over 2.5hrs) , same line up in that, Clapton instead of Prince though, plenty of other appearances from Paul, Ringo etc. Paul does a good stint with the ukulele at 1:46.00. Worth a watch if you are getting drunk on your own at the weekend and need entertainment, I've not seen a better live show entertainment wise and re-watch it every couple of months.

DEATH Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Thank goodness the ukulele was mentioned. I couldn't spell it and HPC spelling suggested "leukemia".

tinker Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Good call for the George Harrison tribute concert. McCartney did a ukulele turn with Something in recent concerts. The highlight for me in the Harrison concert is Joe Brown singing I'll See You In My Dreams playing a ukulele. (can't embed! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wondered this, same with actors. Lots of actors in two bit theatre productions for years who never get that lucky break, probably because the ratio of big breaks to good actors, singers, models is so massive.In fact in many interviews I recall the interviewee saying that luck had a lot to do with it.
