Purple Rain

um....no. I'm 173 lbs this morning and at least look like I could still dunk a basketball. I could hold my own on a microphone with Prince but not so much on the guitar.
Never gets old. When his crew comes out to the court in the same clothes they had on at the club I lose it every time!! Then Prince served us pancakes.....pancakes!

That is a f*kn great interview with Eddie who I love! What I liked most is he was humble and in awe of Prince himself.
Who hasn't done "Purple Rain" with a bunch of drunk Germans in a Koreatown karaoke bar, filling the instrumental solos with some improvised white-boy rap? Am I right?
Prince has 47 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, with 19 top 10 hits, and 5 going all the way to #1. Beethoven has none.
Prince wins....
I love Prince's music but 100 years from now nobody will know who he was. Beethoven will still be a household name. Prince's music is generational. Beethoven's is historical.
How soon we forget the disco classic.
Being in middle school during the height of disco, I could not stand the stuff. Learning to dance "The Hustle" in PE, Bay City Rollers on a continual loop at the roller skating rink, it was the worst. Then waiting anxiously for the new Kiss album to arrive from the Columbia Record Club, only to find out they turned disco. Brutal.
Unfortunately I am old enough to remember the Beethoven knock-off by Walter Murphy.
Unless it was KC and the Sunshine band, disco = Iowa (i.e. "sucks").
Not sure he’s the best but extremely talented and among the best...top 15-20 for sure. We’ve had a lot of musical talent in the last 80 years. Was just listening to Sinatra. He couldn’t play guitar like Prince but he had some chops. Silky smooth. So many GOATs. MJ and Prince ruled the 80s.
