[Perform-Talk] musical influences, cont'd

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

In the movie Romeo plus Juliette in the 90s with Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio, a cover is done of "When Doves Cry" and it's beautiful. It begins with a choral sound with a slowed down tempo then transitions into a techno beat. Really cool. And the kid singing lead has an amazing voice.

Thanks for reminding me to cover the standards—I gradually grew into the biggies—Sinatra, Cole, Bennett, etc. They’re timeless! H’mm, I’ll have to sample some of the later Prince—I’m also really into the old Chicago, Blood, Sweat and Tears—stuff that verges on fusion (incidentally, also Manhattan Transfer and Vince Gueraldi). I guess I was typing too fast before—my apologies, when I was discussing back-masking, to neglect the name of the band for “More Power To Ya”—it’s Petra. Back to Prince, though—you can, even in his greatest hits, note the jazz influence—e.g., in “When Doves Cry,” 
when he kinda scats “doo doo-bee-doo, wo-o-o-o”

Yeah, the trailer park, that’s another good one to add to the country-back-masking theme... love it!
