@1ihws8 күн бұрын
I actually think this is better than the original Beatles - which is a huge call I know, but he’s one out, on his own, doing rhythm and percussion and vocals and playing 88keys; there’s real musical genius in some folks, and he’s got it. Why? Well, there were four of them, and they still couldn’t get this funky and sound this good.
