I wanted to post some of those songs but apparently Prince was all over the copyright protection.

Listened to "I Would Die 4 U" today, takes on a whole new meaning. Dang. And 57 is hella young

I wanted to post some of those songs but apparently Prince was all over the copyright protection.

in 2006 I bought the CD to his album 3121 and wasn't able to transfer the songs I liked (just 2) to my IPod. He was dead to me after this. (No pun intended).

I became a fan with "when doves cry" and loved, loved, loved the movie "Purple Rain" (though I hate the song). He was so sexy, energetic, sexually ambiguous and entertaining, I bought every album for a couple of years, vinyl still, but he got less and less interesting. I moved on after my first Prince concert, the Nude-tour, which was a total disappointment, so boring, lame 'show'.

Last I saw him was on SNL last year or so, which did not do anything for me.

Another legend gone :/

I was and still am a huge Prince fan and was very lucky to win tickets to his Purple Rain tour in San Francisco back in the day. Still have the concert T-shirt (although a little tighter now!) His contribution to the music world was truly incredible. Very sad to hear the news.

2016 is not a very good year for musicians, e.g. bowie! and 2015 ended badly for them too, e.g. natalie....

rip prince

Amazingly talented musician - huge shock when I heard the news...

My friends dad used to drive artists on tour for a living and actually drove Prince around , he said he was one of the most down to earth people he ever met - instead of staying with the other celebrity's at his gig Prince actually came and had some dinner sitting and chatting with the tour bus drivers - You don't get to hear that side of him printed in the tabloids

[NativeSon]

Aw.

Wasn't too fond of the diva persona he'd adopted in his later years (I suppose it was actually there from the beginning) but, great talent--one of a kind.
