One heck of a shock! I've followed his music since the early 1980's & whilst not everything he recorded was to my taste, you can't doubt the raw energy & talent of the chap.

I doubt we'll see his like again.

A musical genius. Some of his music is the definition of classic "endlessly re-experienceable, with pleasure"

Genius... I grew up with his music through each genre. We will never see anyone like him, he did everything within music and all self taught. He wrote for others which became huge hits.
I am still stunned at the loss of a music star. RIP

If there's anyone reading this thread who isn't familiar with Prince's music, you may well have heard some on the TV recently.

The music used in the current Virgin media advert is called "I feel for you" and the version played was recorded by Chaka Khan. It's a Prince song though, dating from 1979.

Other more famous Prince songs recorded by others include "Nothing Compares 2 U", recorded by Sinead O'Connor and "Manic Monday" by the Bangles.
