RIP Prince.
I didnt know his career well enough to comment further.
Sorry he’s dead and all, but I hope the sheep don’t get all crazy like they did with the erstwhile princess, Diana. (sorry, no pun intended, it just came out like that)
To me, Prince hands down. All of his music he wrote his own. He played his own instruments. He self-taught himself which shows he was a prodigy. He protected his property and fought the vultures in the music industry, while others sold out for an extra buck.
You can't pin him down in any genre. He was rock, New Wave, pop, funk. Just an outstanding musician.
I always liked him. Rest in peace.
