Legacy

Prince was an iconic American musician and songwriter known for his innovative blend of funk, rock, R&B, and pop. 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.

It begins with the insistent drip-drop of a sequencer and ends with some old school R&amp;B. In between, the artist who was still calling himself Prince unfurls an encyclopedia of moods, genres, and grooves. Widely heralded as a groundbreaker in 1987, when it was released, some of the music in oh-so-'80s synths sounds a bit dated. Yet this two-CD set is clearly the sound of a performer at the height of his power. On songs like the title track, "If I Was Your Girlfriend," and the thunderous "The Cross," Prince proves why the hype was justified.
