chiroacademy 828 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 That's terrible. Not a huge fan of his music but the song "When Doves Fly" always reminds me of when I fell in love with my wife. I remember that song being on at a specific point in our relationship and it triggers good thoughts. RIP Prince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aslan7 954 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 He also penned quite a few lyrics for other artists. I'm curious how he passed and what the investigation will reveal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleMeat 1,173 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 So do we go back to calling him "The Artist Formerly Known As..."? (Sorry J/K, couldn't resist!) Don't know why he ever wanted to change his stage name, but his he was a talented musician, and will be missed. Was the name "Prince" supposed to be short for "Prince of Funk" or ?

dcl 3,192 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Prince has left Paisley Park. I had great admiration for the artist. A deep bow in the direction of Minneapolis, doves fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nahash5150 10,014 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Dang - now this one hits home again. Grew up with Prince on the radio and girls dressed in purple. Very sad news for us 80's lovers. I didn't 'dig' all his stuff, but there were a few of his I really like a lot. How can anyone not appreciate Raspberry Beret? Got ripped off of YouTube...bummer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin1970 361 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Watching it now here There was a girl that came over to my house after school every day and made me play that damn video while she danced around the living room. Forgot all about that until today. Sad to see another piece of youth gone. RIP Prince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT-Seven 763 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Its funny how these millenials dont remember who he is yet you say 1999 and they go ahhh yeah I remember. The cough fiasco on Rasberry Beret was funny too, I remember the pop up video on VH1 mentioning it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aslan7 954 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Alicia Keys had a great quote: "There are many many kings, but there is only one Prince." Love em or hate em, the man was talented musically, lyrically, and a great showman. Apparently he was athletically talented as well and quite the basketball player. Would not have guessed that one.

dcl 3,192 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 A Prince-related anecdote: Upon first meeting a lady who was joining the volunteers of which I was a part of, in the small talk it was discovered we both had cats. "We have five,"I said, "named for songs." When I got to the one named Sh-Boogie Bop, she smiled, "Cream, by Prince!," and then sang the chorus, "Cream, sh-boogie bop!" I was pleasantly taken by surprise, no one before (or since) had ever made the connection. Thank you, Prince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilmainer 137 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I was born in 70, and MTV was a big influence on music at the time, and his videos were kind of hard to ignore. I was never muc of a "fan",more into Sabbath, Floyd, etc, but I really liked girls so I had to know something about Prince. Years later to realized what a talent he was with a guitar and piano as much as he was dancing or slithering on the floor. Tough year for music lovers, kind of sucks. Thank god there is music.

I agree totally evilmainer. Same boat. I heard an interview where Eric Clapton was asked "how does it feel to be the best guitar player in the world"? Clapton responded--"I don't know, you might want to ask Prince". I did not know the extent of Prince's talent til I heard that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver7tClyde 10 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I Love how he gives credit to James Brown for influencing his style. James Brown is un-sung because they(pop-radio) didn't play his music after having over 100 charted singles on Billboard Magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
