Very few have the guitar playing ability of Prince. He possessed the skills (and bravado) to take a classic song and completely make it his own, adding passion and power like no other. 

You'd imagine that a song like "Whole Lotta Love" just shouldn't even be attempted by anther artist let alone morphed. 

But, in true Prince style, that's just what he did. He doesn't play the song in full, but instead goes off on some wild tangent of blues style shredding. A master. When you think it can't get any better, cue the wah-wah pedal. 

Robert Plant told Rolling Stone Magazine that he loved Prince,  "Prince is probably the most impressive single person," he said, "Because he's incredibly inventive but he's using a lot of old – he's coming from all sorts of areas from the past and he's really pushing them all through a blender so they come out oozing and dripping with honey, sex."

He also added "Prince and Page together would be great,"
