Legacy

Prince was an iconic American musician and songwriter known for his innovative blend of funk, rock, R&B, and pop. Born in 1958 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Prince began his musical career at a young age and quickly gained recognition for his exceptional talent as a singer, multi-instrumentalist, and performer.
Throughout his career, Prince released numerous critically acclaimed albums that showcased his unique style and boundary-pushing creativity. His music explored themes of love, sexuality, spirituality, and social issues with a fearless honesty that resonated with audiences worldwide.
Beyond his musical accomplishments, Prince was also recognized for his flamboyant stage presence and distinctive fashion sense. He captivated audiences with electrifying live performances that showcased not only his incredible musicianship but also his dynamic showmanship.

Back In Stock

Prince's album Controversy. Available here on LP, CD and Cassette.

Written, produced, arranged, and performed by that little old funkmaster, Controversy hit stores in 1981 and still rocks 17 years later. As the title suggests, the subject matter Prince tackles here was meant to spark discussion. From the nasty anthems "Sexuality" and "Do Me Baby", to the slice of '80s political commentary "Ronnie Talk to Russia" and "Annie Christian," Prince does just that. Oh, and he doesn't forget about the booty either, making this the ultimate agit-prop, sex-you-up soundtrack.
