Billboard cover story here, same mag’s fashion evolution section here, his Top 20 biggest chart hits, and just clear out the room for space to move for the below tune. Much like competitors ever in a three-point contest with Larry Bird, when the Purple One grooves [...] Prince.

Let's go crazy?Prince & The Revolution by gaimon5656 Share on Facebook Can’t believe it took me this long to honor His Royal Badness’ 54th birthday, but the wait pays off with the daily Billboard.com email update, containing Prince’s 40 Biggest chart hits, arriving at almost 10 PM PST. So many great tunes (#s 3, 14 and 35 my person faves), gonna share another non-charter from this [...] Hate the messenger (Lopez), groove on the message. Gotta figure out a way to get to at least one of the 21 nights the Purple one’s in LA. Share on [...] Recorded on this day, 26 years ago, for better and worse. Bonus clips below the fold. Share on [...] … Terence Trent D’Arby? Former military man with soulful pipes worthy of Motown’s best, TTD deserved a much wider audience. Then again, his ego trumpeting he’d be bigger than Prince, at a time when Prince could do no wrong (Sign ‘O’ the Times, people, Sign ‘O’ the MFin’ Times), kinda set the bar a [...] Share on Facebook So the guy’s wackier than snow in April, but with so many damned great songs and performances in the last 30+ years, nice to see Prince getting some deserved accolades. “Prince is dynamic. Prince is genius. Prince is music,” Hill said of the performer, who has 10 platinum albums and 30 Top 40 singles [...] Just because Prince has never had too much of a sense of humor (pancake breakfasts allegedly aside), doesn’t mean we can’t laugh at him. With the 21st century version of “We Are the World” on the horizon for Haitian relief efforts, a trip through the archives… NOTE TO FLOYD: Yet more 80s-style black-face, which [...] Despite beyond jaw-droppingly electrifying Super Bowl and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performances last decade, Prince seems to have fallen back to earth, real hard, with his latest project, a fight song for the Minnesota Vikings. Not only has James Brown’s heir to the King of Funk produced a tune that wouldn’t have [...] President Obama making those old enough suffer less-than-pleasant flashbacks to Jimmy Carter’s presidential years (those too young, please just play along)? Feeling Comrade Putin flex that Soviet Russian muscle a little too much? Wanna hearken back to a time when Red Dawn didn’t involve Tom Cruise’s kid in the cast? Well, Ronco and K-Tell won’t [...] Hardly anybody around today, so might as well babble on about music while the muse is semi-hitting me… FAVORITE COVER SONGS Much like preferring live albums mixing up the arrangements of the respective artists’ songs — if I wanted to listen to the song the way you already played it in the [...] 25 years since Purple Rain, huh? Wow. My second favorite Prince album (Sign ‘o’ the Times being #1), you think I’d be writing about that in this week’s Better Late Than Gone Forever slot. Nope, but I am leaning towards another fave from 1984. What, y’all thought you were getting a Duran Duran album? [...] Guess it shows how far off the radar Eddie Van Halen’s fallen when the former year-after-year “Guitarist of the Year,” and leader of the “None taller than 5’7″” band that bears his name, doesn’t get a mention in Rock’s Short List.
