Online an outpouring of grief for musics biggest stars. Madonna saying he changed the world, a true visionary. What a loss. I am devastated. On the on apollo theater, nothing compares Born Prince Rogers Nelson 1958 in minneapolis. He took his fathers name, his parents talent. He was called skipper as a boy and played basketball even though he was just 52. Soon music called him writing his first song at 7. His first album at 19. This is a fantastically successful album. Ladies and gentlemen, here is prince. Making one of his First Television appearances at 21 on american bandstand. Always a bold performer he said his style was a product of overcoming hardship. In a rare admission saying he suffered from epilepsy as a child. From that point on ive been having to deal with a lot of things. Getting teased a lot in school. Early in my career i tried to compensate for that by being as flashy as i could. As he told arsenio hall, music was the only thought he was good at. When i was 16, i was completely broke and needed to get a job. I got the yellow pages out and i couldnt find one thing that i wanted to do, so i decided i was going to push as hard as i could to be a musician and win at it. And win he did. His hits, endless. Prince was not content with one kind of music. Thats the legacy. You can make funk, dance music, rock and roll, pop, and do it all on the same songs at the same time. Creating more albums than his years as an artist and winning seven grammys. Prince. Prince. A golden globe. More than 100 million records sold worldwide. But it was his 1984 appearance on the Silver Screen in purple rain that propelled him to stardom. The sound track would earn him an academy award. I could never imagine this in my wildest dreams. His talent seemed limitless. Known to have played every instrument, and sung every line. Prince could play everything, and play it well. He would always say attack the instrument. He would like be like you have to really and he made playing an instrument very physical. Transcending race beyond gender and even a name, changing it to a symbol and becoming the artist formally known as prince. Most people dont get famous with one name and then change it. Right . Whats the story of that, by the way . I had searched deep within my heart and spirit, and i wanted to make a change and move to a new plateau in my life, and one changing my name. It sort of divorced me from the past and the hangups that go along with it. When he made that transition to the artist formerly known as prince. It was a moment where something overshadowed the music. And for some people the music never came back to center stage. Unless you saw prince live in the early 2000s, it was easy to forget how great he was. He was flamboyant, but he always had a woman on his arm. During the 80s and 90ings, he was wing with models and even madonna. Images like on the back of the motel in purple rain. He eventually married one of his backup singers in 1997. The two had a child together, a boy named gregory who was born with a rare genetic condition and died days later. Princes major soon ended as well. H devastated, and in many ways he was really the love of her life. And not long after this hit tonight im going to party like its 199. He returned to the name prince. He became a jaehovah witness. He maintained a sense of mystery throughout his career. He loved making music, and being a public figure was secondary to that. Despite becoming a global superstar, prince chose to stay close to his roots settling down just outside his hometown of minneapolis. He was an active part of the community, performing at the 1991 special olympics. He was often seen supporting local teams like the minnesota timber wolves. Upon the world stage, some presumed he would die young. Instead, he lived young. Forever sleek, stylish.
