really, how many musicians/performers/composers/producers fit into the genius category, do you think? here's a paraphrased definition of genius: a person endowed with transcendent superiority; especially: a person with a very high intelligence quotient or, a natural gift (for music in particular, in our case.) so far, i've got: 1. stevie wonder 2. michael jackson 3. prince 4. and i'm on the fence about cole porter i can't think of any straight-up musicians, at the moment... well, anyone?
