When I think of musical geniuses, I think of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson and Prince. That's who comes to mind.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Beethoven and Beatles, Mozart and Michael Jackson, Paganini and Prince - I like them all.
Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross and the Jackson 5, that's what I grew up on.
I know people I feel are extremely talented, but I don't know that I've ever heard any geniuses.
I think the great artists, especially in literature, have always thought with the heart.
Gene Autry was the most. It may sound like a joke - Go and have a look in my bedroom, It's covered with Gene Autry posters. He was my first musical influence.
I'm a big fan of pop music - I think Marvin Gaye was pop music; things like that.
The experiences that I've had growing up with music, you know, I couldn't trade them for any money in the world. Dancing in the living room to enjoy myself. 'Enjoy Yourself,' Michael Jackson.
Elton John and Billy Joel, I find them both to be huge inspirations, those guys are so talented.
Solo artists are generally totally insane. Elton John? Slightly eccentric. George Michael? He's mad as custard.
In the 1970s, for all the Stevie Wonders, I'm sure there were five artists that were making forgettable music.
