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 new wave, pop, rock, blues, jazz and hip hop. The distinctive characteristics of the early-to-mid 1980s work which brought him to superstardom (including sparse and industrial-sounding drum machine arrangements, and the use of synthesizer riffs to serve 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.

I heartily agree. And more to the point, what the hell is up with that song title? It reads as When Dove Is Cry. ;-) And who the funk is Quindon Tarver? This has to be the most pointless tagging of an artist and song title I've ever seen.

Why did you do that with his name?? Please..it is just Prince! It makes it so confusing! Now, it is 3 names! Ugh..Prince, The Artist Formerly Know as Prince and Prince Rogers Nelson. I am just going to call him Purple.
