Is there anybody out there hip to the cut "Hell" by the Ohio Players? For the ones who aren't and are fans of "Computer Blue", do yourself a favor and check out "Hell" from the 1975 album "Fire" by the Ohio Players. The riff to "Computer Blue" is damn near the same one as the riff in "Hell". P took a major bite off of that. P obviously was such a fan of "Hell" that for good measure, he threw in Sugarfoot's guitar solo from the end of "Hell" and placed it at the end of "Let's Go Crazy". Go head on Kid!

You are DEAD ON this one BG... I knew computer Blue sounded like something and could NOT for the life of me think of what song... NOW I KNOW!!!!! I am listening to it now and ... damn.. Call it what you want, coincidence, rip, twilight zone etc. BUT it DOES sound VERY CLOSE!!!!!

I'll have to dust that one off and listen carefully, because as many times as I've listened to both of those songs, I've never picked that up. Hell is a killer cut, though.

anyone have an mp3 of that song? I'd love to hear it.

Ok I went back , and checked it out..and I think Y'all are right, that sounds like it might be more than coincidence....in both Computer Blue and Let's Go Crazy!!

I'm telling ya, I can be calling it! I first spotted that about a month after Purple Rain came out. Prince thinks he's slick.
