Prince is once again King. Twenty years after the inauguration of his Purple Reign, the illustrious icon is back commanding the music scene. His resurgence--an acclaimed album and tour project and his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame--has reminded critics and fans alike that he remains the greatest artist of our time:
· the most complete virtuoso in pop history - a master of many instruments and an innovator in the studio
· a prolific and highly influential composer who's written over 50 hits and amassed an unprecedented catalog
· a commercial behemoth who's sold over 100 million records and built a cottage industry of films, business ventures and satellite stars
· a cultural maverick with a daring sense of style
· an industry pioneer who's created his own independent business models
· the most dynamic showman ever to hit the stage
Prince: A Life in Music celebrates his achievements with a retrospective look at 50 of his songs. It is a "playlist history," and each song documents a chapter in his eventful career. Read along--and listen when you're able--to the life and work of an amazing phenomenon in the history of pop.
