Tribute to Prince
A Tribute to “The Artist formely Known As”! Wow, what a genious he was!
The music of Prince is a mix of black and white musical influences, such as the funk of Sly & the Family Stone and James Brown, the screeming rockin guitars of Jimi Hendrix, musicality of Stevie Wonder, discofunk of Chic, soul like Marvin Gaye, latin-bluesy rock like Carlos Santana, smooth and sexy sounds of Curtis Mayfield and the pure melody of Joni Mitchell.
Prince often used his falsetto voice, especially in the first years of his career.
It feels impossible to sum up the numerous hits this legend has created.
In addition to recording his own music, he wrote songs for and was covered by many other artists, such as Alicia Keys, Sinéad O’Connor, Chaka Khan, Cyndi Lauper, Céline Dion, Sheena Easton, Martika, Joe Cocker, Tom Jones, Simple Minds, Kid Creole and The Bangles.
A superstar like that needs no introduction and deserves a musical tribute played by skilled and dedicated musicians.
