Can someone help me figure out who the keyboardist in the movie Graffiti Bridge is? In the credits i believe it says Phillip C. Who the hell is Phillip C.?

Some guy who didn't last too long.

He's gorgeous.

Isn't he the one who just says "bang" ?

Thats him right? lol..I havent seen GB in over 10 years

That is one of the stupidist, most pointless bits in any movie ever! I love that bit! Why did prince think that bit should be included is beyond me! Maybe that bit was longer originally and the company cut it, but it sure is funny!

Phillip C rules!

SENSHY said:

i don't even remember...i've only seen gb once and i made a vow to never watch it again since it sucked so bad!

I actually like the movie, ha well at least his performance in it, ya the story was Blah, but in a great direction.

But one of his coolest performances i've seen is "Elephants and Flowers" and also "tick tick bang"

Prince should at least have given him a gun mike instead of resorting to using his finger as the barrel of a gun.

see..its one of the things I remembered so it must be something good

You think Tick Tick Bang was cool? Wow..different strokes for different folks I guess. I was embarassed watching it..even Jimmy Jam is playing a gameboy during the "performance" lol. Prince shimmying all over the ground and rubbin himself..that was coo in 1984 during I Would Die 4 U but in 1990? But like I said: different strokes for different folks.

anyways, how did your video song project work out?

SENSHY said:

I truly can't believe how people think it was a bad performance. He painted a great picture for the song, and he was always moving. And the vocals on the song are awsome, "..Ur such a Queeeeen Bee!"

that video project was cancelled so i could work on a gig that went very well. after that i just kept recording projects. Thanks for remembering tho.

Right now i have two projects, getting an EP or Album project done, and another album which is a 30min instrumental, heart felt project, Improv.

I remember when they showed preview to Graffiti Bridge about 6 months before it was released, and one of the clips included a piece from the "Tick Tick Bang" performance. I thought it was awesome -- the way he dressed, the way he danced, the whole feeling of the performance. It made me excited to see the movie. I still love the song -- something about the rhythm, the way it changes, gets jerky, and then ejaculates... "all over you."

He's also the guy in the Partyman video "All hail to the new king...PARTYMAN!"

Phillip C was Prince's hair stylist, who stood in for the film.

You will also see that the hair stylist is credited as Phillip Carreon.

Also covered here:

Aside from an appearance in 'Partyman', he's also credited in the liner notes of 'Diamonds and Pearls'.

dawntreader said:

Hooray!

I can't find a picture of him anywhere on the net.

I think I've tracked him down.

Estilo Salon
7402 Beverly Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90036-2725
Phone: (323) 936-6775

The name is spelled "Philip" instead of "Phillip", but its got to be him because a reviewer on this page: http://losangeles.citysea...boc_ew_3_2 has called herself "Paisley Princess". Obviously a fam.

That bloke sounds gay when he says that, but it's funny nonetheless!

BinaryJustin said:

you have TRACKED him DOWN ???

are you going to visit him ?

This is testament to Princes good natured heart...everyone always stating what a blac hearted perosn he is ( Hahn etc) yet Princ eemploys his staffers in his mvies..haordressers etc. He hired Earl Jones daughter or at least put her on wax and film (Jill Jones) etc...dont forget these things when talkin shit about Prince and his character


he aint a meany alla time edit

Oh shit..Poor Phil..he is about to be bothered with calls and gawkers now lol

I think he was Jill Jones's Panty wrangler.

Just think. His role could have been Matt Fink's. Now I have an image of HIM going "bang!" with his hand.

SENSHY said:

Uhhh. I don't think Earl Jones was Jill's father. I'm not sure. But I think Jill's father is/was Berry Gordy's brother or something like that. Her mother sang backkup and managed Teena Marie.

I never heard of any connection between Earl and Jill.

GaryMF said:

I meant Earl Jones was Jill Jones' uncle... sorry bout that

Bang!
