I swear, I was ready to kill someone at the O2 on 12th September if I was asked that. RIP  | |

I think it did one place better than Prince did in the UK charts. Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

Hey I bet that was cool, I've visited the place but never seen a concert there, I know Elton has played there but don't know of anybody else. A Prince gig at Ephesus would be awsome! | |

You should not ask such questions at the same time you got Milli Vanilli as your avatar-picture - these 2 facts together makes you look like a funny fool (not meant in an bad way!!!) - but hey man come on "Milli Vanilli" - the duo that never ever sang one single line by thereself!!

There are hundreds of versions of Prince's songs covered by other artists. Some are fairly naff, others just about passable. Try starting with Purple Rain album and work through each of his other albums.. Try and find the most bizarre cover. Ther's a very Jazzy Sexy MF, no lyrics though. PeACe & B WiLd | |

such an awful cover. one of the art of noise's worst. I don't think it was an awful cover. I think it fit's with Tom Jones style well...esp the zipper part. I think it's certianly one of his bigger songs. Though I have to agree, it is one of AON's worst. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

xplnyrslf said: I saw Tom Jones in Ephesus, Turkey, over 20 years ago. Don't underestimate his talent. He isn't my generation, but he was in his 50's and HOT! His band was young and the experience memorable. He's a respected singer, and he gave Prince added publicity.
From Wikipedia: "In 1967 he performed for the first time in Las Vegas, at the Flamingo. In 1968, starting at New York's Copacabana night club, women would swoon and scream, and some would throw their knickers on stage. Soon after, he began to play Las Vegas and began recording less, choosing to concentrate on his lucrative club performances. At Caesar's Palace his shows were traditionally a knicker-hurling frenzy of raw sexual tension and good-time entertainment. There, they started throwing hotel room keys." He was also knighted, by Queen Elizabeth..... Hey! Prince will be 70 one of these days. And the youth will wonder what was so appealing about him.....
[Edited 1/27/08 15:07pm] Tom is a GREAT performer and singer. Women STILL check out him and he STILL sells out shows. And YES underwear and panties STILL get tossed. It's part of the act. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

I actually like Tom Jones and own his greatest hits album(which features kiss) also i had heard his version b4 Princes and was also not aware Prince even wrote it never mind sang it! I actually like that version and Tom does it in his booming voice and makes it his own,altho i must admit its no were near as funky as P's version Everybody's looking 4 the ladder
Everybody wants salvation of the soul The steps U take are no easy road But the reward is great 4 those who want 2 go | |
