But I've never been as geeked over his later works as some. To me he was never really a great songwriter.... And I felt like that along with his choice to be a self contained do it by hiself artist always held him from reaching his potential. I just think dude was limited in most ways besides his vocals, which would have been fine if he hadn't tried to be like prince and do it all himself. He wasn't a musician, producer or songwriter like that to me. I've always thought he should have worked with other producers. There have been various music movements in europe that he could have been a part of. He should fukk with jazzanova or joey negro or reel people.... His voice would fit perfect in that format.
