All that is PRINCE

New Power Soul

Wasted Kisses

AKA "Computer Blue (Bridge/Solo)"...though I've come to call it "Francis Rain"

April 22, 2016
I almost never post this type of thing -- and I never get into celebrity hero worship, -- but today I feel compelled to do it. For an icon whose timeless records transcend genre, race, and era. A musical genius whose daring innovation taught me so much of what I know. A legend whose music forms a good portion of the soundtrack of my life -- you know how when you hear a song it just automatically brings you back to that one moment in the past? I can say that, literally, I only need to hear the first pulsing synth strings of "Little Red Corvette" or just the first strum of "Purple Rain" to get my emotions going.

It's rather ironic that the one song I often play that can really convey this feeling of sadness, is one I learned through him, from his first film.  If I got some of these notes wrong, please blame it on my head and not my heart. 
RIP Prince Rogers Nelson. There will NEVER be another one like you.

FULL AUDIO: #PRINCE live at SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE 2016.
This was one of the sweetest nights of my life..so lucky to witness this LIVE + up close & personal only a few months ago. 

A once in a lifetime opportunity to catch a modern-day Mozart, a musical genius at the top of his game taking it right back to basics with only A Piano & Microphone.

This was magic for me from start to finish, during the whole show you could feel like you were in the presence of some kind of greatness, someone with the kind of talent handed down from gods.. or from another planet.

I honestly hadn't been this moved at a live show before and don't know if I will again. This changed the way I listen to music, It felt more like a spiritual experience, like being present at the Church of Al Green or witnessing soul and funk greats like Stevie, MJ, Marvin Gaye or James Brown at their prime.
I was buzzing for weeks after, & couldn't help but feel there was only a handful of other artists in the world would have been able to put on such an amazing performance and make it work so well.
