Prince the Memories 1958-2016 long live Roger Nelson!!

Prince(Roger Nelson) the man who along Micheal Jackson ruled the 80's together. Even into the 90's and beyond Prince always stayed relevant and had fans new and old enjoying his music. Prince was the ultimate musician being able to play guitar,piano,drums,sax,cello, etc. He was not confined to one musical style or fashion. Prince believed truely in making and breaking trends, never following them.


Some people form this new generation might ask "why was he so popular, he is just another singer".  Please forgive them for they do not know. Not only did Prince make great music , he also helped other known artists blow up. Like Sinead O Connor's who used the song he wrote to propell into stardom.



FUN Facts

 In 1984, Prince accomplished something only the Beatles had one before him: He was topping charts simultaneously with an album, a film and a single (Purple Rain and "When Doves Cry," respectively).

 Prince wrote "Nothing Compares 2 U" about bandmate Wendy Melvoin's sister Susannah Melvoin, a song that became famous when Sinead O'Connor covered it.

 Prince's second-ever television appearance was on American Bandstand in 1980 at the age of 19.

Gave Carmen Electra the push she needed in her musical career . Even though the  music career short lived she went on to movies and TV shows.

Long live the Prince we will all miss you!!The doves are crying now!!

Big Question

Why didn't Prince work with Micheal Jackson?

They were slated to work with each other on the song "Bad" . The problem was the 1st line where Micheal says "your ass is mine" Prince said to him your not going to say that to me and I am not going to say it to you. They couldn't agree and that ended the potential working relationship between the both of them.
