[Music] Musical Geniuses

[Live by the sea]

On the back of the Elvis/Bowie birthday yesterday, the age old debate who or who isn’t a musical genius?

Few names to throw into the mix who have left us, Bowie, Amy Winehouse, John Lennon, Ray Charles, Freddie Mercury , George Michael, James Brown and Elvis.

Any others?

But who’s a genius and who isn’t?

Agree with all of the above . I would add Prince & Bee Gees to the list . Tempted to add Duran Duran , great band in my opinion but probably not genius level .
