But...doesn't the number '27' have something to do with it?
..or does that one go...'He who dies with 27 is great automatically'(goes for 'she s too, btw...before someone comes , swinging the gendering club)...can't remember just now...
Muhammad Ali was the greatest. Then Bob Dylan. Third was Harpo Marx or Ruth Buzzi, I can't remember which.
Yes.
You are correct.
Anthony Jackson.

okey dokey.To me his music just doesn't age welland always has sounded dated to me,
so whatever he called himself at any given time was not at all interesting to me.
per the OP: i voted "any/all" --- i thought the cat was a savant. weird, but genius. but i didn't know him...maybe he just worked his a$$ off. i just changed my vote to "both."
I agree with you on all counts. But then again, most of the handful of players who make my "genius" category aren't on most people's radar that way, whereas a lot of folks who I consider mediocre are revered for reasons I don't understand. I'm not sure what that says about me or you or anyone else. Just an odd observationokey dokey.

Going way off topic, sitting in my conservatory (I think that's a sunroom in American) in the rain completely hides my tinnitus. This could be a sign.
I would love to hear more Prince works towards Rock, even Metal (YES, METAL) if possible, this video
is one of the best musicianship presentation I ever saw.

Being a Minnesotan originally, his death was a pretty big loss. I still get a little choked up when I see him play like that video above. I chose Prince because you can't replace his early stuff.
Couldnt Wil Smith also be 'The Artist Formerly Known As The Fresh Prince'?
you forgot to add Rogers Nelson to the poll
I loved watching wendy melvoin play his solo stuff at the end of purple rain on the live tribute show they did a couple years back (I don't recall how many years back, but after he died). She's not showy like him, but she's a heck of a musician and a fantastic guitarist, only overshadowed by the fact that he was one of the world's greatest, and showiest, guitarists, while Wendy was always hard working and not there to show off.
