Some Sunday Funky Soul



Marvin Gaye had been scheduled to appear here today
However, I'm sure that even Marvin would be happy to temporarily give way to Prince
Like a few others who have posted tributes I was never really his greatest fan. I was probably slightly too old and mostly into other types of music at the time.
But like everyone else I would like to acknowledge his genius, his musicianship (witness the guitar playing on this clip from The Swede) and his influence on many who followed.

Nothing more to say really - everything that needs to be said has already been said

Prince - My Name is Prince

Prince -Raspberry Beret (12" Version)

  4. Great stuff, The Swede has some footage of a rather fine tribute by The E Street Band over at his bit.
