Also what about the great string work from soul acts of the seventies? The way the intstruments are used take away any classical connotation for me. The O'jays great production. Ship ahoy has strings making the sound of slave ships, I guess you could say they took a white man's instrument and made it black.

You said a mouthful there. Ship ahoy is a great example. That song is as hard as they come!!

Btw, I LOVE me some Clair Fisher. biggrin
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

There's a difference between sexy and "pretty". "Do Me, Baby", International Lover", etc. are sexy songs. "Alexa de Paris", "Venus de Milo", etc. are "pretty" songs and extremely boring.


I'm not a fan of those 2 instrumentals either but Mr.Fischer's work for the main part is a delight and adds a certain charm and freshness to Prince's work ,
the Parade album would only be half as enchanting without his strings , I think
Prince's work became a lot more beautiful from 1986 onwards because of Clare's input .

You don't like PRETTY SONGS huh????

So, at a concert you hit the bar during Purple Rain, Adore, Do Me Baby?

Don't think so.

Clare's Orchestration has brought only good things.

Thank u.
