Prince Dead At 57

To give you an idea how good he was

Because he did anything and everything (writing, producing, vocals, instruments...you name it), I always felt he wasn't rated highly-enough for his guitar-playing...dude was as good as Hendrix on his day.

This is some real BS right here! Goddamn!!
/queues playlist... Raspberry Beret, Cream, Diamonds and Pearls, 1999, Little Red Corvett , When Doves Cry and on and on and on...
 
According to the For You album notes, Prince produced, arranged, composed and played all 27 instruments on the recording.

Listens to Darling Nikki.
 
Sigh, love his music. Have Doves Cry and Purple Rain as part of my driving music and another favourite was Seven.
 
Singer Prince dies at 57

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/04/21/entertainment/prince-estate-death/index.html


Prince, who pioneered "the Minneapolis sound" and took on the music industry in his fight for creative freedom, died Thursday at age 57.

"It is with profound sadness that I am confirming that the legendary, iconic performer, Prince Rogers Nelson, has died at his Paisley Park residence this morning at the age of 57," said his publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure.

Earlier Thursday, police said they were investigating a death at the Paisley Park studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

A massive outpouring of grief followed on social media. Some are saying the icon's death "is what it sounds like when doves cry," a reference to his monster hit from 1984.





SHOCK. i read he had taken ill with flu the other day. R.I.P. another legend left us.
 
One of the first cassettes I ever bought was Batman '89. Watched the Batdance video over and over again. sad sad news
 
And I just happened to find some of his music on an old hard drive 2 days ago. RIP.
