It pains me to acknowledge the death of another musical icon today. Prince was one of the most underrated musicians of his generation. I don’t say that in a “his fans didn’t appreciate him” type of way. I mean in a “he was masterful with instruments and musicality” kind of way.
At the risk of sounding naive, to me, Prince was one of the best guitarists of his time. After more people become exposed to some of his “under the radar” performances, I feel as if he’ll be remembered as one of the greats.
So what if I don’t love his original music that much?
It doesn’t mean the man wasn’t a super special talent.
Do yourself a favor and spend the day watching some of his performances. It will be a good way to show your respects to one of the greats.
An example of one of the best ones out there is embedded below.
