Ive been on early Prince rotation lately.

Rasberry Beret, Little Red Corvette, I would die 4
you...Anything he did with a Linn drum basically.

I have to wonder how prince dresses in ordinary life. Does
he go out like that?

till 1980 they are nice soul/funk/disco songs made with
great synths of the era. good writing and production but
only hints of the individual personality beyond the genres.
then 81-84 is the golden age of him getting oberheim synths
and linn drum and challenging the new technology. new wave.
self confidence, culminating in purple rain which sold tons
and won an oscar, total head swell, building paisley park
etc.
from 85-87 you have a different man, absolutely super minted
and successful listening to his friends too much, more
inspired by superficial things but more experimental, well
practiced at what he does, top of his game. this is post
midi prince, yamaha rx5 and roland d550. plenty of good
tracks but more showbiz.
after the black album it all went wrong. he lost his hold on
new technology, easier to bash away at the guitar, ditched
his brilliant band, got rejected by some special lovers, did
weird drugs, just brain meltdown. Since Lovesexy, in 88,
younger people have had more to say than him and he should
have retired. There have been some moments but no way near
enough. Funny coz he does have about 5 totally amazing
albums left of unreleased material. I heard one track called
Purple Music and one called Extra Loveable from on of my
mates that I haven't forgotten.
If you cut off 2 or 3 tracks, e.g Free, from 1999 (made
1982-3), that is the seminal album. Something in the water
does not compute, lady cab driver - just ultimate.
God is to blame for many bad things ain't he?

Other than the Linn, I'm guessing everything was played
live. No sequencing. Meaning the moog basses, the Oberheims
to multitrack 2" tape.

Prince wrote the original "I Feel For You" in 1979. It's one
of my favourite songs of his. He's a genius, even if he's
crap now.

Didn't you know, he has no feet. That's why he isn't very
tall.
