Never really got into Prince during my younger years but toward the end of the 80s and ever since he was a joy to behold. Was fortunate enough to see him live a few times too.
Where did you see him play live? I came across the chap not too long ago on the NPR Live YT and even if his style of music isn't one I am the most acquainted with it's difficult to not have appreciation for the craft of his song writing; he creates evocative pictures without ever falling into cliche.
