    Prince hated people covering stuff exactly as it is. He always respected people doing their own stuff, and that's what Lenny did. He made his own version out of these songs, and that's how it should be, I guess. I personally love Lenny's version and appreciate the whole show he did.

      I guess Sinead and Chaka got that little chat, too. LOL But--just maybe he lent his songs to them and many other, because he knew they would have their own special way with it which would enhance their own lives. He touched so many other musicians on so many levels.

      I disagree with what you said Prince wrote a song for Melissa Morgan called "do me baby " was a #1 R&B hit. Prince also had that same song on his own album singing it himself. Leo please if you are not a prince fan don't spread the false rumors and lie.

      @@kimberpas2907 I agree. Lenny considered Prince a mentor. He joined him at Paisley Park, and Prince was gracious, as you would any guest at your home. They tore the house down. Lenny popped up at other Prince concerts when they were in the same cities. Prince always invited him up to Jam with him.

    THE VERY BEST TRIBUTE TO PRINCE I HAVE SEEN. I LOVE THAT LENNY DIDN'T TRY TO DO WHEN DOVES CRY EXACTLY LIKE PRINCE. I remember when him and Prince played together on the Rave un2 the year 2000 concert.

    • @garythompson9811
      @garythompson9811 6 лет назад +1

      Lenny said he was asked why he hadn't done a tribute to Prince and he said it was just too painful at the time. They were great friends like others have posted. So Garrick just shut up.

    There is now a holy trinity of tributes/covers in my opinion. This one, Bilals rendition of "the Beautiful Ones" at the BET awards and D'angelo playing "Sometimes it snows in April" on the tonight show.

    • @dr.sinister9315
      @dr.sinister9315 Год назад

      I have never heard the BET awards rendition of The Beautiful Ones, but D'Angelo's cover of Sometime It Snows In April was also very emotional and exceptional. To me, both Lenny Kravitz and D'Angelo embodied the spirit of Prince in their tribute performances.

  • @matissegoudeaux180
    @matissegoudeaux180 7 лет назад +428

    He did that! Regardless of what anyone says. It's your opinion. But let me give you mine, lol. It's called a tribute. Not a sound alike. Lenny is Lenny. Prince is Prince. Both different & unique ; in both their own way. From the.... what normal consider normal. We need more African American artists like them. Lenny made it his own. It was from his heart, respectfully. Jimi, Prince, Tina, Michael, George Clinton, Muddy, Etta, Betty Davis. I can go back. Now days music isn't artful, nor unique. CREATE YOUR OWN SOUND! Too many people wanna be rappers, trap stars, techno, and so on. Great tribute to his friend. And he meant it. In my own opinion. Prince would have loved it. Prince was a all around. He did pop, rock, rnb, blues, alternative whatever. And did ALL very well. How many musicians can you say besides Lionel Richie did so? Bet you he could have done Country to. YOU IN REALITY COULD NOT PUT HIM IN A CATEGORY. But Different. Only one Prince. Lenny Kravitz did that! Only one Lenny. EFFE, (eternal friends forever ).

      @Kaagrant 5 лет назад +3

      Наида Сутаева nah, it’s really blues. It all came from the American South ... those blues artists from long ago inspired rock and roll, jazz, and a whole lot more. We owe them such a debt.i can’t recall who it is, one of the great blues musicians, his daughter has some sort of foundation set up to look for copyright infringement on those blues artists and seeks to get them paid their royalties (or rather, their heirs, since they’re all gone now).
