I hardly knew who he was.
I was quite ambivalent about Prince when he first received airplay and didn’t pay any attention to his music for years. I then saw him live. The man was a talent. I did a little research and then was amazed that he played multiple instruments well and engineered most if not all of his music. Anyone that has recorded can attest that this is genius when it comes out the quality that Prince had in his work. Other musicians that were able to work with him on projects could attest to his genius. I am still ambivalent about his music but have great respect for his capabilities as a songwriter and musician and the music world has lost a great one. RIP.
