    Right, exactly. His music was a combination of rock, funk, etc....one of his biggest musical influences was Jimi Hendrix, not exactly an r&b guy.

    He was a combination of a lot of genres, you couldn't label him as just one..he did push quite a few envelopes too.

    I was never a Prince fan... I was busy raising kids and a new Christian trying to find worship to listen to instead of stuff like his.
    Or maybe you were busy standing in the purple rain?

    More likely seeking out the rain of Holy Spirit!!!


    I wouldn't recognize that song if I heard it. I watched the video Faithful One posted and he was certainly a talented guitarist... then I clicked on another one where he was singing in the rain at a Superbowl and I THINK he was supposed to sing Purple Rain at some point but I'm afraid I couldn't watch the whole thing. Just not my style.


    ETA.... Does Purple Rain represent someone or something? Totally clueless on the significance of purple rain.

    I never realized what a great guitar player he was. Probably because I didn't really listen to him. Tom Petty was one of my faves back in the day though!

    The Carver County’s Sheriff’s Office said the musician was found dead in an elevator at Paisley Park Studios.

    ...At about 9:45 a.m. local time Thursday, deputies responded to a “medical call” at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, where they found Prince unresponsive in an elevator, according to a statement from the Carver County Sheriff’s Office.

    Emergency personnel performed CPR but were not able to revive him, authorities said, and Prince was pronounced dead at the scene...


    ...Regarding recent his health scare, the newspaper reported, Prince said: “Wait a few days before you waste any prayers.”

    Yeah. I discovered how good of a guitar player he was in the past year or two. I never realized he was that good either. Not only that, I think I had seen a video of the new Arsenio Hall show, and Prince was his only guest and watched him and his band play a couple of songs, and at least one was a very technical type song, kinda like Kansas at their technical rock 'n' roll best. Progressive but a little more rock to it.
