Celebrity Deaths - 2016

Prince was a phenomenon although the creative juices ran dry a good quarter of a century ago.

Three favourite Prince songs

1 Raspberry Beret
2 Kiss
3 Controversy.

He also produced a super album on Paisley Park for George Clinton back in the day. Hey Man Smell My Finger.

Who would have bet on Clinton being the one of the holy trinity of funkateers to survive the longest.

You forgot Lemmy. [quote=“dodgy_keeper, post:727, topic:21701, full:true”]
An incredible year for celebrity deaths so far.

Bowie, Rickman, Wogan, Prince - and it’s not even May yet.

RIP Prince. Wrote some great songs, and shared the love with other artists. Always thought Manic Mondays was the bangles best tune.

A great guitarist, and a phenomenal basketball player.

I’m shocked ‘U got the look’ didn’t crack your top 3.

The live guitar solo of Purple rain is incredible as mentioned above he was first and foremost a brilliant musician, I would have him just behind Michael Jackson with his influence on pop music.

Excellent soundtrack “Partyman” a personal favourite of mine!

To think I nearly ended up looking disinterestedly at some Fine Gael and Fianna Fail cunts talking absolute shite at each other on Prime Time or listening to a boring discussion about some non-entity of a Premier League match, instead of listening to the last 40 minutes of this.

Hat tip @Fagan_ODowd.

You missed First Dates pal.

Thank you, Fagan.

Poor Kelly Anne sounded in bits but the music was wonderful.

Is txfm going to fold soon? Where’s Kelly Anne going to go to next?

She’s on today fm already.

That’s what I thought. thanks

I’d forgotten that prince had also brought us this

A wonderful way to assist in choosing decent music back in the day
