I love Chris's technical vocal skills, his tone, his emotion, and his soul, but saying "NO ONE" sings like him anymore is just factually incorrect.

Regardless of how much you or I love Chris, off course there are other people who sing like him, and just as good as him. I'm not making an equivalent... That's not the point of my suggestion, as a somewhat unrelated issue, listen to Chris Stapleton's "I was Wrong", and/or "Tennessee Whiskey".

What's is wrong with just saying, wow, what a wonderful performance? Without having to take away from it by pointing out that Prince wrote the song? Everyone knows that Prince wrote the song... Everyone knows that Prince was a great singer/songwriter/musician, but even he didn't write all of his songs. Prince's greatness, as great as it may be, is a different discussion. I know you may be emotionally attached to Prince, but believe me, it's ok to just simply say, "Chris did a great job". Tina Turner's song "Proud Mary" was great too, but should we diminish her rendition of the song by bringing it to everyone's attention that Creedence Clearwater Revival wrote the song, and wrote the melody, and perhaps even did a better version than she did? Prince is great in his own right, but that is a completely different subject. This subject is about this specific video, about Chris Cornell's version of this song. Try to control your personal emotional fanaticism toward a specific artist.

Cris Cornell was the lead singer of the rock band Sound Garden. He will go down as one of the greatest voices in rock history. He was also a very tortured sole. He battled a lot of depression throughout his life. On May 17, 2017, he lost his battle with depression when he unfortunately hung himself. Two months later, on July 20, his close friend Chester Bennington did the same. Chester was the lead singer of Lincoln Park. I don't know if you were aware of this information or not, but this was a little back story just in case you didn't already know. I mentioned both singers because you really can't tell one story without the other. You should react to Chester's performance of his song One More Light. He did a live performance of the song as a tribute to Chris.

[@hardtime63]

He said Keith Simonds introducing the guitar player behind him.

[@PotawatomiThunderNew]

Hey I have a question, what made you decide to react to this? Was it something someone suggested? The reason I ask is because this is sort of an odd introduction to him. This is Chris Cornell doing a Prince cover in 2016. His career began in the 80’s and he has a lot of hit songs from the bands he was in. I’ll give you a little brief, straightforward bit of information - He was the lead singer of Soundgarden, Temple Of The Dog, and Audioslave. Soundgarden was his primary band. Temple Of The Dog was a one-time group he took part in in 1990 as a tribute to the late Andrew Wood who was his friend and the lead singer of a band that was important around the time Grunge music was developing. Audioslave was a supergroup he was in during the 00’s when Soundgarden wasn’t active. I think it makes a lot more sense to listen to the classic work he’s done in his bands before hearing a modern day solo cover. Hunger Strike by Temple Of The Dog, Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden, or Like A Stone by Audioslave - each of those are like the biggest ones from each band he took part in. They’re all great songs, I’d suggest them. Especially Hunger Strike since it does a good job showing his vocal range from low to high. Unfortunately Chris killed himself in 2017. As a fan I was devastated. I was in tears for days because of that. By the way, I hope this doesn’t sound like criticism because I enjoyed this reaction and it was really cool to see the appreciation you had for his voice. He was a great vocalist, especially in his prime.

Because when you type in chris cornell this comes up first.

He was referring to Keaton Simons .. his guitarist. Chris was a very successful singer who unfortunately suffered from addiction and depression for years. In May of 2017 he took his own life.

This is quite possibly the greatest cover ever! Chris took a beautiful song and made it his own.

[@dwightwoodcock2020]

he's the guy paying tribute to Prince. he's the guy who committed suicide only a few years later. hes a guy who had real sorrow like real people. he's a gut who is missed....

[@johnnybags2324]

Try his song “nearly forgot my broken heart”

[@jarrettfinney4882]

This is my favorite song he ever sang on his own. It's years later now, and I still catch myself crying about him being gone every now and then. He was my favorite

[@iamsoulfunky8512]

the poetry that touches you is the one and only Prince. his music and lyrics will go down as some of the most heart felt of all time. Chris Cornell does an amazing job covering this masterpiece. Appreciate you Sushi, for all your efforts! Take care.

He has a penetrating voice, and makes the song his own.

Soundgarden’s “Spoonman” for a good time.

Saw chris Cornell in Indianapolis.. next to the last show before he took his own in Michigan.. great performance!!

[@carolynmiller6031]

The first time I heard this song is when it debuted in 1989....by Sinead O'Connor....and it was a hot hit...we used to cruise around the lake on the weekends with the stereo cranked!!! I was 16 and it was over 30 years ago....then years later Chris Cornell remade it and rocked it better than any Male could....check out chris Cornells 'Hungry' you wont regret it....
