How do we actually know that it is Levi? That may be Prince for all we know. Everyone knows that Prince's album credits are not necessarilly true.

To answer your question, I believe that Levi played on a lot of stuff around 92 and 93. Especially on the side projects (Tevin Campbell, Patti Labelle, Louie Louie, Ingrid Chavez, etc).

Levi's solo in "Faded Photographs" by Sheila E is awesome!

Before the solo Prince calls out "Levi - fly"

In the video, Levi is miming the solo.

Wrong forum smile
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

I remember an interview where it said that levi actually played that solo using a playing card instead of a guitar pick... Plus, if you compare it to Prince's own jazzier solo's (Strollin', Blues in C), it definitely sounds different.

LOL @ poeple trying to give Prince credit for Levi's work. Everybody that's not a Prince fan thinks that Prince played the solo on Little Red Corvette, which is one of his most respected songs by non Prince fanbots but he did NOT. Levi is a gifted musician. Stop trying to steal his shine and give it to Prince.

Nobody's trying to steal Levi's spotlight. It's a known fact to not trust anything written in Prince's album credits.

People attributing drum programming to Kirky J on the other thread should take note.

Then why is it wrong to think that Levi played on the songs he is credited on. He is a pretty good guitarist afterall.

You have an active imagination, I don't see any of that going on in this thread.
Only the stupid are STILL Prince fans.
