LEWISTAYLORFAN	The artist who inspired Prince Even if you not a fan I implore you to watch this video. Prince use to follow Todd around when he teenager. Also he inspired Lewis Taylor big time too. Some of the songs would make Jesus weep. http://youtu.be/kS-64ce_bqE It gets so salty baby (bittersweet by Lewis Taylor)

Regarding the Lewis Taylor connection, paligap said something along the lines of Leader of The Band being the best TR song he never wrote.

biggrin

It is!

I'm sure Todd would say, --"Damn...are you Sure I didn't write that??" lol

In an interesting Turnaround, Todd mentions Lewis as one of the influences on Todd's new album...
