Prince&Lenny Kravitz each have won 4 Grammys

what do you think of that&How might that speak of Impact? do you think Lenny Might Feel now at this stage of His career that He is Close to Prince's&that His Same Amount of Grammys is a Reflection of that?? or is Lenny lucky because there are more Categorys&the competition isn't as strong??

I'm sure Lenny loses sleep at night thinking about his equal amount of grammy wins, much less knowing about it. Just my opinion on it...

Winning a grammy doesn't equate with
writing great music...
Prince gives me great music, to hell
with the rest.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

I think Lenny cares a bit what the Industry thinks.He made some changes a few years back&they Re-Vamped Him up quite a bit.

The number of Grammy awards is not necessarily reflective of being on the same level as someone else, or above that level of those who haven't won as many. There are some very significant artists that never won a Grammy.

The award is just a reflection of commercial impact (most of the time), not always artistic.

Hendrix never won a Grammy in his short career. The Beatles only won one for Best New Artist. I'm not one of those who thinks the Beatles are the world's greatest at anything and everything musical, and sometimes they get more credit than they deserve by certain people. But they were worthy of being recognized for more than just being the Best New Artist of 1963. Most important Jazz recording artists never won a Grammy either. I guess it's nice to be recognized but it's rare that it bespeaks musical impact.
This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes.
