I know I twittered about it last night but we are happy our favorite artist, Prince, was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance category last night for his song “Dreamer” from his latest CD Lotusflow3r.

We figured Prince would get a nod somewhere in the R n B field and aside from a performance from Maxwell, NO R & B noms were announced on the show.  We are happy for Prince and hope he brings home another Grammy on January 31st, 2010.

Good luck to you Prince.-Dr.FB

The Montreux Jazz Festival is going to be a little bit more funky this year as a musical genius is planning on taking the stage not once, but twice.

The one and only Prince WILL be performing 2 shows at Montreux this year and he is  bringing a musically talented band with him. Playing with Prince at the legendary festival will be Rhonda Smith, Renato Neto, and John Blackwell.

In his 31 years in music, Prince has won every award imaginable from a Grammy to an Oscar to one of the youngest inductees ever into the Rock & Roll  Hall Of Fame. He performed at the 2007 Super Bowl in the rain no less and still gave off the performance of a lifetime.

In 2007, Prince gave a legendary performance at The Montreux Jazz Festival where tickets sold out in record time. So when ticket information and tickets become available this time, make sure to reserve your spot if you plan to attend.-Dr.FB

The Grammies confirmed what Dr.Funkenberry.com readers already knew before anyone; Kanye West, T.I., and Sir Paul McCartney are performing at the Grammies. It was posted here first.

With a cherry on top, we also confirmed here that Jay Z and Justin Timberlake would be performing as well, which the Grammies a day later confirmed. 

A big shout out to Rolling Stone, Huffington Post, NME.com, and the fan boards for supporting ignoring the story.  Guess we need to get into another argument with Courtney Love for news. ;-)

I don’t think so and also hope the site will not be ignored too much longer.  I remember something and I am passing it on to you; the longer the struggle, the sweeter the success.-Dr.FB
