This previous year witnessed an abundance of musical nods to fallen idols David Bowie and Prince, perhaps none more exciting than Low Cut Connie’s cover of the latter’s “Controversy.” Philly’s rollicking rockers turned the funk-pop gem into a piano-pounding, barroom stomper, which is to say they turned a great song into a great Low Cut Connie song. Music and lyrics by Prince Rogers Nelson “We love u forever, Prince.”
