I was asking myself the same question ...

I would, i think he plays the organ beautifully. The solo he played before 'hotthing' on the SOTT concert movie is one of the greatest pieces of music he ever composed. Amazing organ solo. It reminds me of Amsterdam for some reason (never been there, but it just makes me think of that place when i here it). Also, if you have bootlegs, he would change the solo on each night.

Also, he plays a bit of organ on the Parade tour. The hour special which was broadcast on t.v. He sounds great. So, yes, i do wish he would play it more.

I tell her the joke about the woman
Who asked her lover - "Why is your organ so small?"
He replied, "I didn't know I was playin' in a cathedral"
Vicki didn't laugh at all

You really need to pick up some Jimmy Smith records to see what real organ playing is all about.

a mention of the organ.

I am violet the organ grinder
And I grind all the live long day
I live for the organ, that I am grinding
Ill die, but I wont go away

I am violet the organ grinder
And I grind all the live long day
I live for the organ, that I am grinding
Ill die, but I wont go away

Ooh, wait a minute, I think u better trip on this
Ooh, wait a minute, I think u better trip on this

I was on my way to another room
When an image of u sweetly
Appeared in the mirror
Perhaps u recall
U and I were neatly
In the middle of a crystal ball
That now serves as a reminder
On the wall of u and I the organ grinder
In the greatest concert of them all

I am violet the organ grinder
And I grind all the live long day
I live for the organ, that I am grinding
Ill die, but I wont go away

Did u know that I still have your stockings?
I keep em in a drawer next to your brazier
Come hither, my sweet, lend me your attention,
Come hither lend my your ear
I do believe that my piano was stolen
I do believe that u want me near
Well I can deal with a sucker
If hes in your mouth,
But I cant deal with insincere
Im the one that lives in your heart
U love me, no matter what u say
Swear you dont miss the organ grinder
Grinding on you every day

I am violet the organ grinder (I am violet the organ grinder)
And I grind all the live long day (and I grind all the live long day)
(check this out)
Ooh, wait a minute, I think u better trip on this

I took all the pictures you gave me,
And I placed them right under my bed
And I pumped and I pumped
til the gasm much as jumped
From my feet to the top of my head, oh boy!

Im violet the organ grinder
And I grind all the live long day
I live for the organ, that I am grinding
Ill die, but I will not go away

Ooh, wait a minute, I think u better trip on this

Like a puppy, I licked your devotion
From your neck from your eyes from your ears
When you cry, I became your emotion,
And if u ever cry like that again
Ill be here

cause Im violet the organ grinder
And I grind all the live long day
I live for the organ, that Im grinding
Ill die, but I wont go away

Not even...

Yeah, I love it when he incorporates organ into his music. Off the top of my head, "Adore" and "Dark" are two of the most soulful songs ever, largely due to the way they're accented with the organ. He should definitely do it more.

U think i dont know who jimmy smith is?

No, organ music reminds me of Funerals and church.

3121 said:

If you thought the Prince solo before Hot Thing is an amazing organ solo, then yes you don't know who Jimmy Smith is.

truefunksoldier said:

i think it's a nice little intro before the song really starts but it's nowhere near amazing

InsatiableCream said:

Well thats subjective isnt it? It moves me so thats all i need to know. i wouldnt dream of trying to tell you what is 'good' music to your ears.

truefunksoldier said:

Can't somebody like more than one thing? More than one style of music? More than one artists feel and expression on a given instrument? Can my opinion not differ from what you regard as 'good' without fear of being told that i am wrong or that i am mistaken and my soul actually doesn't feel anything when i hear music i thought i liked? Telling ME what music is and isn't amazing to MY ears is one of the most pointless exercises you could ever engage in. Enjoy YOUR music truefunksoldier, i wouldn't dream of telling you what you should like and listen to... oh, and let me listen to, emote with and discuss mine without elitest comments and music snobbery.

I wish these "Prince is gay" threads would stop.

@ ur signature ...damn baby d does know about snacking don't she?

Okay, Ill be the stupid one. Who is Jimmy Smith?
And how big is his organ?LOL

I think Jimmy Smith

coincidence?

Jimmy was a jazz organ player, who played the Hammond B3. He recently passed away, but there are tons of records of his out there to check out.

Dayclear said:

That's interesting. Organs make me think of sporting events, mostly baseball and hockey.

Organ reminds me of being in church too. I'd like to hear P play more of the Fender Rhodes. He's the man on guitar, but I like his keyboard work more.
