He was doing Jimi Hendrix like guitar tricks back in the mid 50s on King Records.
King had him and Joe Tex at the same time and didn't know what to do with them.

Well, they didn't know what to do with James Brown either. wink

They did, they kept him around and let him run the place. They got rid of Tex and Watson. Didn't let them develop.

Hellyeah, also Lover Jones is one of my top cuts from him, and never get tired of Gangstar of Love. I am assuming everyone has heard Prince's live version of Real Mutha for Ya. Was real cool he did that.

No I haven't, I didn't even know he did that. Where and when was that?

Never knew that either? Would love to hear that!! cool

RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time...

Ouch, that is a tough one! At times I have been walking around for days with that tune in my head. Maybe try switching to It's About The Dollar Bill? lol

It is on the Park 2004 boot that includes a lot of funky cover tunes. https://www.discogs.com/P...se/6206770

If you've got funk, you've got style.
