"Purple House" I'm listening to Prince's amazing and vocally intense and soulful cover of Jimi Hendrix's tune "Red House" retitled "Purple House" from Power Of Soul: Tribute to Jimi Hendrix and I just wanted to know who's the band backing Prince on this recording. I suspect it's John Blackwell and Larry Graham but it could have been Prince's new rhythm section. Anyone knows? 3121 #1 THIS YEAR |

Oh, ok Tora thanks, I always thought he was referring to Mayte in that line because that's basically when they split up...., next question, is Mayte Puerto Rican ?! 
Oh, and I thought it was pretty impressive stuff....he looked exhausted when he finished it though... how did it compare to Jimi's Red House? [Edited 9/6/08 16:10pm] | |
