Sonic Saturday – Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and Others: While My Guitar Gently Weeps
In all we are experiencing these days this song sounds fitting as an expression of grief. In this video the late Tom Petty is doing vocals in this all-star band. Then the late Prince comes on and just rocks one of the best guitar riffs ever.
So many people are weeping and its only appropriate that guitars do the same. People need to be loved even in sad times. It’s important we do love because its needed so much now.

Prince was one of the best guitarists ever. He doesn’t necessarily get as much credit for that as he deserved. 👍🏻
This is a great throwback rendition of one of my favourite songs! Prince was the best concert I have ever seen. He was so talented, every one of them were or are, but I only had a chance to see him live
Prince definitely gives it the Hendrix treatment and both of these incredble guitarists (Prince and Hendrix) certainly know how to make their guitars weep and cry respectively.

OMG My Dad just showed me this two days ago and neither of us knew it existed before then. What a coincidence! So cool, isn’t it?!
