Few musical artists have created a body of work as rich and varied as Prince.
Prince was born in 1958. He was the son of a pianist in a Minnesota jazz band. In addition to his music, he was known for his elaborate, eclectic stage styles.
He rose to fame in the late ’70s and was most popular in the “Purple One,” Prince released hits such as “Little Red Corvette,” “When Doves Cry,” “Let’s Go Crazy,” “Cream,” “Diamonds and Pearls,” “1999”—which became an anthem for many schools’ and colleges’ graduating classes, “Kiss”—which Julia Roberts’ character famously sang in a bathtub scene in the movie Pretty Woman and the iconic “Purple Rain.”
Most everyone I know has a “favorite” Prince song. Mine has always been “Purple Rain.”
He died at his estate in Paisley Park in Chanhassen, Minnesota. He had been suffering from the flu.
Just saying….
