        Creap: it checks any UPCs present against Amazon to see if there's any ASINs that match that UPC, adds a little icon to link you right to the Add URL page if there is
      • oh, the auto button one?
      • it's for the wiki links project (see channel title for the url)

        where is this foxy reference everyone is up-in-arms about? if it's any one numerous songs in the '70s (or a cover of one of those songs) with that word in the title it's "Foxy" not "Foxey"
      • foxy was an urban (black folks) slang term for "pretty+sexy" in the 1970s
      • drsaunde
        weird situation..intended title is "foxy", but was misspelled on are you experienced as "foxey" and the error was compounded by being registered as "foxey"
      • petros
        According to wikipedia "foxey" was a misspelling on the american release
      • So when it comes to intended title I would vote for "foxy lady"
      • yllona
        it's definitely "foxy"... sorry wiki-pundits. i was there :P
      • aCiD2
        foxy, all the way
      • drsaunde
        oh i agree
      • the "sticky" situation is the perpetuation of the original misspelling to ascap
      • petros
        It's like annoying relatives and cold sores that comes back to haunt you at the most inconvenient of times.
      • yllona
        drsaunde: i agree, and given the nastiness of the hendrix estate recently it ill take time for a correction (if it ever happens)
      • drsaunde
        yeah...that's one big soap opera there
      • yllona
        but as a child of the '60s & '70s... no song title or lyric was ever spelled "foxey". nope. not done
      • Creap_ has quit
      • i even had T-shirts with the word / lyric "foxy" printed on them.
      • search ascap for the word "foxy", that's 86 songs
      • and 134 at BMI

      • petros
        'Foxy' is a cool word as long as non starts mentioning "body odour". Then it just becomes embarrasing.

        HairMetalAddict: can attest to the number of songs with the word or lyric foxy in them :-D
      • petros wonders if it would consitute heresy to imagine another vocalist on Jimi's songs. Fo instance Janis Joplin.
      • petros
        or Wilson Pickett
      • yllona
        petros: i've heard some amazing covers of foxy lady
      • most notably by the Isley Brothers in concert. note: hendrix made his debut with the Isleys in 1966
      • lenny kravitz does a great foxy lady too.
      • petros
        yllona: I love Jimi, but have always wondered if his songs would have benefited from another vocalist, while he was still playing that guitar.
      • yllona
        so does larry graham (of graham central station)
      • jimi is like prince in that regard, sometimes the tunes require a better vocalist ;)

      • drsaunde
        I also like The Cure's cover of Foxy Lady
      • petros
        yllona: What cover of Prince is vocally superior, IYO. Quindon(sp?) Tarver did a mean "When doves Cry", but I'm currently stumped about others.
      • BrainzBot
        Spelling suggestions: Quinton Quin don Quin-don

        Cool. I gotta hear that one.
      • yllona
        petros: pretty much any old school R & B artist covering prince
      • solomon burke, chaka khan, etc
      • drsaunde
        i brought up solomon 'cause he's one of my faves :-)
      • petros
        Siding with you generation? ;P
      • But yeah, Solomon's got a great voice.
      • drsaunde
        not my generation per se..i'm not of the 60s and 70s
      • Knio has quit
      • petros
        drsaunde: I misattributed. I thought it was yllona who'd written that line.

        petros please not that prince is my generation also. he's actually older than i am. and he never could sing -- compared to his contemporaries
      • Creap has quit
      • i went to prince's very first concert *ever* (outside of minneapolis). it wasn't very good.
      • petros
        Ok, I'm obviously too tired to joke about this. And if you say that Prince can't sing I can only respond that his 'trying to sing' sounds OK to my ears. But then I wouldn't know who you are comparing him with.
      • yllona
        when prince's first album was released "For You" in 1978 his competition was marvin gaye, luther vandross, barry white, michael jackson, peabo bryson, earth wind & fire, smokey robinson, the commodores and many others. all of them are *much better* singers
      • and of course stevie wonder. what stood out about prince wasn't his voice (or even the lyrics back then) it was arrangements and instrumentation
      • petros
        _That_ we can agree on. (Except I'm noty too fond of Jackson's voice)
      • yllona
        prince's first single was "soft & wet" which i bought on 45 rpm. the lyrics were *really* explicit, and that was what stood out, aside from the very funky arrangent
      • *arrangement
      • Infinito_ has quit
      • and of course i have the LP. his guitar licks didn't top the isley brothers (who's lead singer was also a falsetto)
      • and again a much better singer
      • petros
        Well, he's a jack of all trades.
      • yllona
        yeah, so is stevie wonder :P
      • petros
        But good at that though.
      • yllona: I'm not too much into Wonder. Go figure.
      • drsaunde
        if you pretend the 80s and 90s never happened for Stevie you'll like him a lot more
      • yllona
        oh have you heard that albums from 1968 -1979, they're timeless and classic. including "journey into the secret life of plants"
      • drsaunde: agreed
      • drsaunde
        but "What the Fuss" is as good as his early stuff!
      • petros
        I know. I should hear "Talking" , "Songs In The Key", "Innervisions". I jusst haven't sat down to do it yet.
      • yllona
        and for singers how could i forget donny hathaway. :)
      • another jack of all trade, btw
      • petros: add "music of my mind" to your stevie list
