The Prince is my all time favourite.
I can always go back and listen to his albums.
check http://princefari.com for the best and most complete discography.
My favs are the CRY TUFF DUB ENCOUNTER series 1~4
He could be both the deadliest AND funniest DJ !
VOICE OF THUNDER is a perfect example of both.
"CHECK IT MY BROTHER" M.WILIAMS.

Everything he did is pure gold, but this is my favourite:

Especially the track 'In Your Walking Remember Jah Jah', which closes Side One.

Free From Sin was my favourite. I love all the quotations from the bible. Somehow his voice and the bible are well matched.

[kandi]

The way he introduces "Give I Strength (from Voice of Thunder)" would make a sinner repent from his sins right away.

"Who shall stand in the holy place of the almighty,he who has clean hands and pure in heart"

And then at its climax:

"Things i used to do,i do it no more;
Things i used to say,i say it no more"

And most of all,because of the way he presented "The Ten Commandments" i always have the Decalogue by heart.

And What a wicked combination of Fish Clarke & Professor Larry on Drum & Bass.
