Prince (born Prince Rogers Nelson on June 7, 1958), is a popular and influential American musician. His music has spanned myriad styles; though his early material was firmly rooted in R&B, funk and soul, he has constantly expanded his musical palette throughout his career, absorbing many other genres including reggae, pop, rock, blues, jazz and hip hop. The distinctive characteristics of the early-to-mid 1980s work which brought him to superstardom (that include sparse and industrial-sounding drum machine arrangements, as well as the use of synthesizer riffs to fulfill the role traditionally occupied by horn riffs in earlier R&B, funk and soul music) became known as the “Minneapolis sound,” which proved heavily influential. He has a reputation as a workaholic, having released over a thousand songs both under his own name and through other artists, and is known for having composed and recorded many more songs that remain unreleased. Regarded as a perfectionist, Prince has a reputation as being somewhat difficult to work with, and for being highly protective of his music. He writes, composes and produces most of his music single-handedly, and plays most of the instruments on his albums. He also is a well-known songwriter for other artists, and some of those songs have topped the charts as well. Critics and colleagues have referred to the quality of Prince’s work and its versatility as being indicative of musical genius.

No merging, cut that out already! You people only want a merge so your playcount will be higher. The two names released different albums, and that's that.

NO merge! that's pure silliness. besides, the Prince & The Revolution albums are, for the most part, superior to those not labeled as such.
