| | Prince Rogers Nelson (June 7, 1958 - April 21, 2016) | |
| | was an American singer-songwriter, musician, record | |
| | producer, dancer, and actor. He is widely regarded | |
| | as one of the greatest musicians of his generation. | |
| | A multi-instrumentalist who was considered a guitar | |
| | virtuoso, he was well known for his eclectic work | |
| | across multiple genres, flamboyant and androgynous | |
| | persona, and wide vocal range which included a far- | |
| | reaching falsetto and high-pitched screams. | |
| | | |
| | Prince's innovative music integrated a wide variety | |
| | of styles, including funk, R&B, Latin, country, | |
| | rock, new wave, classical, soul, synth-pop, | |
| | psychedelia, pop, jazz, industrial, and hip hop. He | |
| | pioneered the Minneapolis sound, a funk rock | |
| | subgenre that emerged in the late 1970s. He was also | |
| | known for his prolific output, releasing 39 albums | |
| | during his life, with a vast array of unreleased | |
| | projects left in a vault at his home after his | |
| | death; it is believed that the vault contains dozens | |
| | of fully produced albums and over 50 music videos | |
| | that have never been released, along with various | |
| | other media. He released hundreds of songs both | |
| | under his own name and multiple pseudonyms during | |
| | his life, as well as writing songs that were made | |
| | famous by other musicians, such as "Nothing Compares | |
| | 2 U" and "Manic Monday". Estimates of the complete | |
| | number of songs written by Prince range anywhere | |
| | from 500 to well over 1,000. | |
| | | |
| | Born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Prince | |
| | signed a recording contract with Warner Bros. | |
| | Records at the age of 19. Prince went on to achieve | |
| | critical success with the innovative albums Dirty | |
| | Mind (1980), Controversy (1981), and 1999 (1982). | |
| | Working with his backup band the Revolution, his | |
| | sixth album Purple Rain (1984), which was the | |
| | soundtrack to his film acting debut of the same | |
| | name, spent six consecutive months atop the | |
| | Billboard 200. Prince won the Academy Award for Best | |
| | Original Song Score. After disbanding the | |
| | Revolution, Prince went on to achieve continued | |
| | critical success with Sign o' the Times (1987). In | |
| | the midst of a contractual dispute with Warner Bros. | |
| | in 1993, he changed his stage name to the | |
| | unpronounceable symbol Logo. Hollow circle above | |
| | downward arrow crossed with a curlicued horn-shaped | |
| | symbol and then a short bar (known to fans as the | |
| | "Love Symbol"), and was sometimes referred to as the | |
| | Artist Formerly Known as Prince or simply the | |
| | Artist. He signed with Arista Records in 1998 and | |
| | began referring to himself by his own name again in | |
| | 2000. After returning to mainstream prominence | |
| | following a performance at the Grammy Awards | |
| | ceremony in 2004, he scored six US top ten albums | |
| | over the following decade. Joni Mitchell said of | |
| | Prince, "He's driven like an artist. His motivations | |
| | are growth and experimentation as opposed to formula | |
| | and hits." | |
| | | |
| | He sold over 150 million records worldwide, ranking | |
| | him among the best-selling music artists of all | |
| | time. His awards included the Grammy President's | |
| | Merit Award, the American Music Awards for | |
| | Achievement and of Merit, the Billboard Icon Award, | |
| | an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award. He was | |
| | inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in | |
| | 2004, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and the | |
| | Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2016. | |
| | | |
| | In mid-life, Prince reportedly experienced | |
| | considerable pain from injuries to his body (mainly | |
| | hips) sustained through his dynamic stage | |
| | performances (which included leaping off speaker | |
| | stacks in high heels), and was sometimes seen using | |
| | a cane. In April 2016, at the age of 57, Prince died | |
| | of an accidental fentanyl overdose at his Paisley | |
| | Park home and recording studio in Chanhassen, | |
| | Minnesota. | |
