Prince

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
