Episode 31: The Prolific Prince


There are many words (and symbols) you can use to describe Prince, but the one that first comes to mind for me is 'prolific'.  He is said to have written more than a thousand songs, with ten platinum albums and thirty Top 40 Singles to his credit.  His unique sound and style played a major role in the musical era of the 1980s and early 1990s.

Born June 7, 1958, the Minneapolis native made an indelible mark on the music industry with not just his artistry but his business savvy.  He pushed the envelope in all areas; he was no stranger to controversy, that's for sure.  Despite his diminutive size, Prince has a swagger that no one can deny, with an image that was sex personified.  Prince is also fun, you want to get a party jumping, throw on one of Prince's early tracks, and watch everyone go crazy. 

Celebrating his 52nd birthday today, Prince has become alot more toned down over the years, but that's not a bad thing, he's still got it.  In honour of the prolific Prince, I've made two mixes featuring some of my favourite songs of his, from the uptempo to the slow jams, and boy he sure does know how to put in down in the bedroom. Yeah...he's still got it.

Happy Birthday Prince!

Love,
Geena
