Prince was an American musician. He was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, I liked much of his early music and it was fun to later move to live in Minnesota, where he had legendary status!
Famously, due to contractual issue with his record label, Prince changed his name to a glyph. Since this symbol was impossible to pronounce, people began calling him "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince."
He died at his Paisley Park recording studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota at the age of 57.
In 1982 Prince released his fifth album '1999'. "Little Red Corvette" was released as the second single. Prince had his first number one single, in addition the title track '1999' was a superb piece of music in my opinion.
"When Doves Cry", was released in 1984.
He released after that, "Let's Go Crazy"
In 1985 the album 'Around the World in a Day' was released. The album's first single "Raspberry Beret" was a worldwide success as was "Kiss" was in 1986.
In 1990 Sinead O'Connor reached number one with her cover of Prince's song "Nothing Compares 2 U".
