Songwriter Brian Wilson. Maybe didn't write quite as many hits as Macca, but damm did he write some magical ones.

Great songwriter but I would rate him below Dylan, Paul Simon, and Smoky Robinson.

Berlin is right up there with Porter IMO, and Armstrong and Ellington should be on the list too.

Looks like we're going to need a bigger mountain. Or smaller heads.

I think Prince belongs due to his sheer versatility as a musician. Not to mention how the moment he had to dedicate himself to something, he did it with 100%. Also a convenient excuse to post the below video. The story behind it, apparently, Rolling Stone, left him off the list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists" and he took personal offense to this. It leads to such an incredible display of musical talent. Classic Prince flair at the end.

Default Played the YouTube clip!

Okay I read this thread before but hadn’t clicked on the You Tube clip until now.
Holy crap. Prince absolutely shredded this. What a kick ass rendition of George’s classic.
Newfound appreciation of Prince!
Thank you for sharing!

Probably my favorite song and favorite performance of it. Breathtaking. Nearly redeemed the entire wretched R&R HOF in 6 plus minutes.

Luois has countless cards in various Dutch Gum and Maple Leaf sets. A couple here, plus his "rookie" card as far as I can tell from 1952 Felix Potin (French).

Good to know - I'm going to have to get some of these. I didn't realize there were jazz fans on Net54 - I am a big one myself.
