Born in 1958 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Prince began his musical career at a young age and quickly gained recognition for his exceptional talent as a singer, multi-instrumentalist, and performer.
Throughout his career, Prince released numerous critically acclaimed albums that showcased his unique style and boundary-pushing creativity. His music explored themes of love, sexuality, spirituality, and social issues with a fearless honesty that resonated with audiences worldwide.
Beyond his musical accomplishments, Prince was also recognized for his flamboyant stage presence and distinctive fashion sense. He captivated audiences with electrifying live performances that showcased not only his incredible musicianship but also his dynamic showmanship.

this lp has what all outstanding prince lp's have: tremendous range. prince, at a very early age, demonstrates the ability to master different genres of the day, which few artists of that era (stevie, curtis, ewf) were able to pull off. there are great cuts to please any prince fan. of course, there is "i wanna be your lover," the unique cut with the killer guitar hook. then there's "why you wanna treat me so bad," a nicely-paced guitar-pop ditty with a great solo. move next to "sexy dancer," a synth-driven disco cut. then of course, there is the original "i feel for you," an uptempo, stripped-down piece which is just as enjoyable as the chaka khan version. as a matter of fact, the remaining cuts are very good too: the ballads "when we're dancing close and slow" and "it's gonna be lonely," the rockin' "bambi," and "still waiting" (a hidden jewel that is screaming for a country cover). hey, i have heard this album for years, and just writing this review, my already-high opinion of this lp has been raised. it's enjoyable from beginning to end, and as i see it, it served as a building block (artistically and commercially) for the rest of his career. don't pass this one up.
