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"
2008-02-17 04825, 2008
yllona
foxy was an urban (black folks) slang term for "pretty+sexy" in the 1970s
2008-02-17 04835, 2008
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"
2008-02-17 04837, 2008
petros
According to wikipedia "foxey" was a misspelling on the american release
2008-02-17 04817, 2008
petros
So when it comes to intended title I would vote for "foxy lady"
2008-02-17 04850, 2008
yllona
it's definitely "foxy"... sorry wiki-pundits. i was there :P
2008-02-17 04823, 2008
aCiD2
foxy, all the way
2008-02-17 04841, 2008
drsaunde
oh i agree
2008-02-17 04811, 2008
drsaunde
the "sticky" situation is the perpetuation of the original misspelling to ascap
HairMetalAddict: can attest to the number of songs with the word or lyric foxy in them :-D
2008-02-17 04822, 2008
petros wonders if it would consitute heresy to imagine another vocalist on Jimi's songs. Fo instance Janis Joplin.
2008-02-17 04802, 2008
petros
or Wilson Pickett

petros: i've heard some amazing covers of foxy lady
2008-02-17 04815, 2008

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.
2008-02-17 04802, 2008

yllona: I love Jimi, but have always wondered if his songs would have benefited from another vocalist, while he was still playing that guitar.
2008-02-17 04819, 2008

so does larry graham (of graham central station)
2008-02-17 04852, 2008

jimi is like prince in that regard, sometimes the tunes require a better vocalist ;)

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.

i went to prince's very first concert *ever* (outside of minneapolis). it wasn't very good.
2008-02-17 04806, 2008
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.
2008-02-17 04836, 2008
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
2008-02-17 04801, 2008
yllona
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
2008-02-17 04818, 2008
petros
_That_ we can agree on. (Except I'm noty too fond of Jackson's voice)
2008-02-17 04828, 2008
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
2008-02-17 04834, 2008

and of course i have the LP. his guitar licks didn't top the isley brothers (who's lead singer was also a falsetto)
2008-02-17 04827, 2008

and again a much better singer
2008-02-17 04835, 2008

Well, he's a jack of all trades.

oh have you heard that albums from 1968 -1979, they're timeless and classic. including "journey into the secret life of plants"

2008-02-17 04858, 2008

but "What the Fuss" is as good as his early stuff!

I know. I should hear "Talking" , "Songs In The Key", "Innervisions". I jusst haven't sat down to do it yet.
