Wasn't his biggest fan but definitely respected his talents, especially on the guitar!

Anyone who can write, play & produce multiple hits in different genres is a genius, period. Prince is up there with the best no doubt, he was a total entertainer loved by millions around the globe. RIP Prince

There were a few thinks of his I liked without saying I was ever really into his music but you could never doubt his talent. Another sad loss for music. |

Sadness indeed the world over.
"Purple Rain" his movie was the first true modern music video I watched as a young 12-14yr old, my brother & I were blown away. ( quite accidently taken to a movie by a family friend & saw the wrong movie) In saying that we lived a semi sheltered life where dad controlled everything and only his music was allowed.. Gene Pitny, german beer waltz music etc etc. It changed our lives and out looks, his movie included a lot of personal touches of his own up bringing and life. In such this changed ours lives to stand up to the bullying and abuse that was delivered at us and our mum on a regular basis as Prince's father had done also. His musical talent is beyond doubt, I loved his early music mainly, but as time passed some of his more modern stuff I believe was just ahead of its time. Drugs, flu, or accident does not matter, the passing of another great artist is sad indeed. R.I.P to my childhood hero

I can't say I'm a massive fan, but I do enjoy some of his songs. It's a tragedy that we've lost a some real musicians suddenly this year alone.
I don't think we'll see many more talents such as Prince and Bowie in the future, not with the digital, repetitive age we're now in.
