| Great live version of Purple Rain by Gregory Porter to close the Chris Evans breakfast show on Radio 2 this morning by way of tribute. |

Never really a fan and don't own anything by Prince but back in 2011 he headlined a festival I attended - I must say that his performance was simply incredible, one of the best I have ever seen. After several hours & 3 or 4 encores, well into the small hours, I set off for my car and he was still playing as I sat there with the windows open waiting for him to finally finish !

Sad news. The only"good" thing to come out of it is that at work Radio 1 has been playing some of his hits this morning rather than the usual stuff that isn't too my liking (to put it mildly). ------------- Aren't ears brilliant |

He passed me by completely; I don't think I know anything by him. Maybe it's time to get to know some. ------------- Ifor ===== Reflex M & ACCESSION M, CuSat50, Majestic DAC, a Proprius pair. |

I was never into Prince either and to be honest haven't heard a lot save for the big hits. But perhaps this is a good time to see what I might well have been missing out on all along. ------------- Proprius, Reflex M, Solo UL, Bitzie, CuSats & Spatia --------------------------------- Johan |

I was and still am a fan of his music. I have played quite a bit of it over the last few days. 57 is way too young. ------------- Jon Open mind and ears whilst owning GSP Genera, Accession M, Accession MC, Elevator EXP, Solo ULDE, Proprius amps, Cusat50 cables, Lautus digital cable, Spatia cables and links, and a Majestic DAC. |
