dude who posted 4 levi mentioned the "sign" show where levi solo'ed on that 1 song. he played with a pick. it's obvious he was a guitarist sub'ing 4 a bass player. Other than that 1 highlight nothing else about his playing stood out.

sonny- got Prince back in touch w/his funk roots. that's why covers of skin tight, maybe your baby, soul sacrifice, the jam, etc were done.


Rhonda- it was time 4 Prince 2 get a "jazzy" type bass playa,her fretless work is her strongest assest

1) Levi - Still on of my favorite musician from Prince's
bands. (bass and guitar)

2) Larry - The master.

3) Rhonda - Gotta love Rhonda (esp. on The One).

4) Sonny - I dig the Exodus period. Probably the
funkiest time. I'll give Sonny that. (I like when Sonny
took vox lead 2)

Absolutely Larry G., but Rhonda is amazing, too.

This isn't even funny.

Larry Graham is a master bassist in this idiom, one of the greatest EVER. Thus, he ranks at Number One with a hollow point bullet.

Followed by Rhonda and Mark Brown.

That's totally true, in terms of mastership of the instrument, Larry G wins hands down. In terms of personality, heck, even I beat Larry.

For the record, I never think of Larry G. as "Prince's bassist". Yeah, he played for a minute, but Larry is so much more than just a bassist, its an insult. Besides, he preceeded Prince by YEARS. Graham Central Station's work speaks for Larry. Chaka and Patti sang Prince's songs, but its a slap in the face to reduce them to Prince protogees because they are more. Same goes for Larry.
