I also hear a lot talking about Prince like he's only a Funk artist. You should give our man more credits, he released songs in almost every style of music there is. Some are Funk, most are funky but not neccesarly pure Funk. He's done a lot of songs combining Funk and Rock. They are/were both great artists.  | |

The crutch touch technique i mean ! Where will it all end ? 
 Hey who's this, while were posting good pic's ? It aint Hendrix ...
It's none other than , theAudience  who could easily be mistaken as Jimi, and whose influences could be said to a little broader than Prince or Hendrix.
Sorry Neal had to slip that one in. Hey Audience! | |

Listen to "Little wing"(particularly the live version on "Smash Hits), "Angel" and "The wind cries Mary" and so on [Edited 12/14/04 17:14pm] I like little wing by Sting much better than I do Jimi's version! I really tried, I like his music, but not his voice... the beautiful ones, you always seem to loose | |

jacktheimprovident said: theAudience said: He's commented publicly that he hated the sound of his voice and never claimed to be a singer. But his vocals fit the musical soundscapes he created. It's just part of the package. It's my opinion that the comical Bootsy vocal persona has a page taken from Hendrix. I know you're not gonna claim John Lennon was a great singer.
tA 
Tribal Disorder http://www.soundclick.com...rmusic.htm what's wrong with Jimi or John's singing? Maybe prince is more technically proficient a vocalist, but saying Prince is better than Hendrix or John Lenon, or any number of other legends is absolutely assinine. I can't think of a musician who made more of an impact in such a short career than Jimi. Prince isn't superior to all of his predecessors. What makes Prince great isn't that he's surpassed the greats of the past, but that he's synthesized different aspects of the past greats while still being himself. Prince is not the guitar player that Jimi was, the dancer that James Brown was, the Songwriter and producer that Stevie was or the bandleader/producer that George Clinton was, nor did he fuse R&B and rock in as revolutionary a way as sly did. Prince is a hybrid, but he isn't better than all the ingredients that make up his influences. [Edited 12/11/04 16:26pm] [Edited 12/11/04 16:31pm] You're right. Nor is Jimi, Stevie, or any of those guys better than their influences. Prince has just been great for a longer period of time. I agree that Jimi's singing fit his music perfectly just like Dylan's fit his music. Comparing anybody to Jimi is silly. His music, if you can get into it and get past all of that guitar nonsense-- it's an overrated instrument for the most part except in Jimi's hands that is  -- you'll find some great music and interesting lyrics. Being a painter Jimi is my favorite musician because his music was so visually stimulating, yet soulful. |

Yeah, Santana's. Santana is latin music, Prince is not! Prince is more rock like Hendrix. Prince does lots of guitar solos in concert. Prince has done alot more Hendrix songs then Santana music in concerts. Goodnight, sweet Prince. | |

There's a lot going on here,but I have to say one thing about 'the voice'-thing
some of you were talking about:Whether you like someone's voice or not,it's all about "what is he/she trying to get across,or at least tring to,here.." I'd say:John Lennon had a GREAT voice and was an amazing singer!Same for Jimi!!Don't matter if you like their voices or not... There's a list of voices I don't like,but that don't make them less singers.. | |

For some Hendrix "Funk n' soul", seek out these tunes, especially if you want to hear his influence on P-funk:
"Who Knows" (****start here!!****) "Power Of Soul" (if you can find a boot called "Paper Airplanes", you gotta hear that version!) "Message to Love" "Pali-gap" "Them Changes" (w/ Buddy Miles)" "Doriella Du Fontaine" "Izabella" ...

Rhastus said: fuck hendrix?
with out Hendrix you have no Prince. Not only did Hendrix directly influence Prince(the purple rain days) and all the different covers he has done, but he has influenced him indirectly as well. Ever heard of funkadelic. George got that straight from the Band of Gypsies album. George was singing do wop till he droped acid and listened to some hendrix and we all know how much prince was influenced by George. What about Sly? Jimi jammed with sly and they both influenced each other. Woodstock anyone. That and they both drew from all kinds of Music. Shit jimi practically started hard rock/ heavy metal, pushed funk to another place. Dabbled in country, jazz and even some of the first rap. Things that prince has done as well Two great talents. Why hate on one. Enjoy them both James Brown is also saturated with P style come to think about you baby you are my only need | |
