Homeless Denver Musician Covering Purple Rain
I tried to search to ensure that this had not been posted. If it has been, I apologize. Has anyone seen the clip of the homeless Denver musician covering "Purple Rain." It is one of the most moving things I have ever seen. I am not moved because he is homeless. (I am surprised when others are surprised that there are so many talented homeless people.) Usually, I don't like covers, except when the cover artist is able to show some hidden possibilities of the song that are not readily seen. I think that the musician does this. The grit and richness of his vocal seems to grab me by the throat and experience "Purple Rain" almost like the first time. Anyway, it is on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/wa...e=youtu.be. | |

Wow. He's got a nice voice and obviously can play a guitar. Hope he gets discovered by someone or else keep the donations flowing. Hard times hits hard. | |
