Some report Prince left so much unreleased music behind that he could have released a new album every year for the next century. He was also in the process of writing a memoir before his death.
Prince continues to greatly impact the world. As you watch this, tens of thousands of people around the world are currently listening to a Prince song. He won 8 Grammy Awards, 6 American Music Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and even an Oscar for Purple Rain. To date, Prince has sold over 100 million records worldwide. Around half of those in the United States alone. Today, tsort.info, the most comprehensive collection of popular music data around, ranks Prince has the 16th most successful musical act of all time.
One of the most prolific and accomplished songwriters, producers, and musicians of all-time, Prince Rogers Nelson single handedly changed popular music forever. He invented what became known as “Minneapolis sound,” the mix of funk, R&B, electronic, and rock music that influenced so many who came after him. He was incredibly unique, often demanding everyone in the industry follow him. He never chased trends, he created them. And while the world continues to miss him, he has left so much behind for all of us to continue to enjoy.
My God sooo many albums. Imagine getting into him now and saying "I wanna listen to his whole discography" man that would take u years
That’s me rn lmao I’m not like mad young but I just was on MJ for the first time n spent a good few months, now getting hip to Prince, probably won’t go through every single song lol
Lol that happened to me. I probably know 90% of the stuff on spotify after 4 months, but I keep finding new stuff. It's both exhausting and exciting!
I’ve been a fan for 8 years now and I STILL haven’t listened to everything, lol. Mind you, before he passed, it was quite difficult to access his music online so that stalled my listening experience a bit
I only heard of prince from the Dave chapels show and I’m 31 lol
I’m on a mission to listen to every album from him in order that I haven’t already heard and I knocked out 4 today in 5 hours
"Look at that Album Cover"
👀👀
famous last words
No-‘’just look at that album cover, well? Look at it.”
@@Pokerice why ‘famous last words’?
Every time I do, it makes me laugh
Almost 50 albums.
The only thing that stopped him was his Death🙏
R.I.P.
and the albums aren't done! Plenty more to come, if the estate gets it right!
minimum four posthumous albums
That’s generally what stops all of us.
@@annalishagoring coming out from the past. Yer.
quality over quantity
Putting out albums back to back every year since he came out in 1978 talk about work ethic.
I was gonna comment that...
He worked so much to the point that it hurt is career substantially in the short term along the way, however it's helped to make him an icon after death. I miss him.
We have lost my idea of true perfection: he was just too damn sexy, talented and pure genius with an I.Q of 186 a truly genius I.Q He will be forever missed I wish him nothing but heaven
That's what I'm thinking. Plus Mj had like 10-15 year head start. In one Decade he's rubbing shoulders with him.
No one compares to Prince. It is a huge loss, he had so many to contribute, and give to the world. The world is an ugly place with him.
"Can you make it rain harder?"
--He said to the super bowl people.
Legendary
Best part of getting stuck at a Super Bowl party.
His solo at the Harrison tribute is incredible.
Fantastic solo and great fun showmanship as well!
I remember it so clearly.. the 22th of april. The Danish radio station paid tribute to Prince and played his songs all day. And when purple rain started playing.. It started to snow.. Sometimes it snows in april..
Im from minnesota and we love all of prince's songs, if you have parents aged 30-45 knowing prince's music is pretty much required knoweledge but if there is one song from prince that minnesota loves its "lets go crazy" all of our sports teams use lets go crazy in some way shape or form and its in the song list for the university of minnesota marching band and a few years ago after he died there was a petition to make purple our official state color and "lets go crazy" a state song.
Whatever happened with the petitions?
@@mattbeatgoeson they died off, the state color one was started by a state senator named karin housley.
Pick it up again,
Minnesota deserves to be purple 💜forever
hes only really famous in minnesota

Grandma was a piano player in Minneapolis, she tells me how he was a nice boy that always would say hello when he saw her.
I just want to say that this was the BEST Prince tribute ever on CZcams. Please keep up the excellent work.
HAPPY 61 BIRTHDAY to Prince Rogers Nelson, the GREATEST musical artist who came out of Minneapolis. Minnesota. His music will LIVE FOREVER!
Today he wouldve been turning 64 today.
Time warner cable
The work ethic of this man is simply incredible!
I love what a creative genius Prince was
There's a Prince-shaped hole in the world. 💜🙏
I LOVE your dramatic focus on Prince's album covers! Cracks me up!
😂
LOOK AT THAT COVER!
Prince knocks on your door.
Prince: Have you heard about our lord and savior Jesus Christ.
Person: Wait are you Prince?
Prince: Umm... No. Ummm. Goodbye.
Prince runs away.
Lol
No, no. Manager/handler comes to the front door. Prince hangs back on the sidewalk. Gives a nod. Manager knocks on the door. "Good afternoon, ma'am. Prince says, "Do you know our lord and savior..."
😂
To the author; What a well-done comprehensive video of this musical genius. It's impossible to recognize all of his accomplishments. But for those who are curious of his Grand Legacy should thank you for the history lesson!!
hes not that famous
82 people is a lot? lmao funny
look at his lack of views simply put
I agree with the original poster. The one thing I like about this reviewer is the fact that he also acknowledged the NPG as his best backing band. Most people seem hung up on the ok band, The Revolution.
I'm so glad you did this, this was super cool, Prince is my favorite artist of all time. Thanx 4 the video
I appreciate the kind words, and thanks for watching.
Oh WOW he had so many wonderful songs it's just impossible to narrow it down. But a partial list of my favorites that I cry when I hear them are; Screams of Passion, Dance Electric, Delirious, When Doves Cry, Mary Don't you Weep, Purple Rain, Cool, Love Bizarre, Erotic City, Round and Round sung byTevin Campbell.
Nice!
Mine is Michael
I'm the opposite, he's one of my most hated artists from the 80s. I heard Kiss today and just went and actually went "what's this shit?" He sings in such a high falsetto that for me I heard this "wah eye see!!" all because I'm missing upper frequencies
@Nguyen just passing through
Had no idea Prince released so many album. That man was prolific as hell.
A century worth of music. Incredible
I am obsessed with him and he has enough music to keep me feeling that way for a loooong time.
No One Will Ever Come close to Prince !!!!! I Miss him So Much !
NO ONE. Not before, not since, not ever. He was truly MUSIC.
hes top 15 at best overall
@@AC-mp7cx he is amazing he’s the 4th best singer of all time in my opinion
@@AC-mp7cx my top 3 singers 3.Elvis 2 is a tie between weird Al and Michael Jackson 1.Freddy mercury
I LOVE PRINCE AND MISS HIM SO MUCH
My favorite Prince album is, "Sign 'O' The Times". My favorite song is from this album, "Starfish And Coffee". He inspired everything that is my life today. I hope my music will inspire others, as he inspired me.
Where can I hear your music?
The Beat Goes On I will be starting a chanel here soon. Thank you for asking.

@@bigwhiterabbit.akathepride5404 What is this you're sending me? Why am I under investigation? I'm not a criminal. I do intend to report this to the CZcams staff. I am advising you at this moment to leave me alone.
It's insane how much he wrote
I miss him... so damn much... I hate earth without Prince. It sucks. :(
The commentator didn’t breathe 😂❤ good job
On his super bowl gig, it was RAINING when he sang Purple Rain.
I can’t believe I gave away my unopened album of “purple rain” away to a friend... but I did see him live in Nashville.... along with vanity 6... awesome concert!
It's hard to pick a favorite song. I like all his songs. He was so talented no one can compare to Prince. Thanks for the video.
alot of people were as talented if not much more
@@AC-mp7cx name one
@@AC-mp7cx waiting, champ. Name some. 😊

Prince was a musical genius 🙏

album: 'Sign Of The Times'
Thank u 4 making such a POSITIVE retrospective about P. We will love him 4ever 💜🕊
"For your every touch, thank you so much!" - Well done, great review, much more than an introduction.
Prince made some Good MUSIC..
I love the FACT that he EXPRESS HIMSELF THE ONLY WAY HE COULD
AND DIDNT HOLD NOTTING BACK.
I’m a long time Prince fan. The Rainbow Children is a chef-d’œuvre ♥️
Beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers!
This is the most comprehensive review of Prince's catalog that I have ever seen. Details on every album, release dates, other tidbits and your clarity and humor is also very much appreciated. I'm a long time Prince fan since the 70's, and nobody has created a better time line than this. I get asked questions about Prince all the time, and from now on I will be pointing them to this! Bravo!
Breakdown is such an amazing song. Watch the live version in montreux, you can look into his soul with that one.
Being into his music in my late teens and 20ies was a beautiful influence for the rest of my life. Still love and admire the man and his art. Thank you, man with no name!
I miss him so damn much. He truly was perfection. Anyone else agree
PRINCE IS THE MASTER....PERIOD!!!
Incredible what you did and left the world to enjoy. Despite your own pain and struggles. Rest in peace Skipper hxxx
Purple rain. Was my favorite movie. And song.
Most underrated artist of his generation
Underrated????
prince was huge back then he wasn't underated 😂
Prince was amazing I ddnt realize how many albums he made... super creative 💜
20:44 Prince was one of the first artists to promote his work online and to offer exclusive web content even as back as 1998
Thank you for sharing the history of PRINCE.......i loved it!!! One of my favorite PRINCE songs is Adore!
@ The Beat Goes On: Thanks a lot for the upload. Prince is one of my favorite artists.
10/10 would Prince again. Seriously though, you could make 100 channels where you describe/explain different subjects and I would subscribe to each of them. Your voice is perfect for this type of material.
Thanks so much! Yeah, this one took awhile to make. Hopefully you won't have to wait as long for the next one. :D
His 2009 Montreux Jazz Festival performance of “Empty Room” is superb, and the main guitar solo is amazing! I know it by heart.
The gold Experience album is a classic 💋 🙏🙌🙌 🙌🙏💜
My favorite Prince song is "I Hate U" from the Gold Experience. A great song about loving someone.
I burned through three copies of that album, The Gold Experience. The whole thing was outstanding.
You mean Gold Experience
Excellent presentation. Great loss. Wonderful entertainer.
Thank you and I agree that he was wonderful
Could play 21 instruments 👀🤯🤩😳 virtuoos 🔥. Bless you prince music and Life is different without you being here ❤️❤️🦋🦋🙏
I could watch these videos for years!
When you're so prolific, it takes nearly half an hour to list all of your catalogue! lol Well, done, Prince. Phenomenal
Could you imagine answering your door and Prince is standing there like: "Hi, I'm from Jehova's Witnesses" and you're going crazy because Prince is handing you flyers XDDD
Thank you so much for sharing with so much love. God bless u with His Light and inner peace.🙏🏼🙌🏼🙇🏿♀️💕🎶
Great artist, his music will live forever, tx for the video
This was wonderful. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! :D
i've been a passing prince fan for a while now but i had no idea he had so much music under his belt and dozens of albums to his name! this video was an eye opener, thank you
fun fact, i'm actually from the area around moline, illinois. my mom saw prince's private jet land at moline international airport when driving around. a weird but fascinating connection between me and him
"Joy in Repetition" of course 💜😥 You say it - he was incredible unique. For me the embodiment of GENIUS!
i miss him so much.RIP
Sign o' the Times is a masterpiece.
didnt sell so well
@@AC-mp7cx ?
@@jefferyjones8399 sot didnt sell so well
@@AC-mp7cx How is this relevant?
Exceptional. RIP, you tried xxx
A musical genius.
By far my favorite Prince song is AnotherLove
I really liked prince he was a gorgouse little man when he was young loved his music it's a shame he was murdered so sad he didn't deserve it bless him r.I.p. wish I could have met him loved all his movies
Thanks for putting this all together. Well done, great video.
Wow no mention of starfish & Coffee, maple syrup & jam, butterscotch clouds, tangerine & a side order of ham
Still one of the best lyrics EVER penned.
They didn't set their mind free, so I guess they didn't understand.
I don't think the narrator is a Prince fan. He missed a lot of great underground hits like "Erotic City" was HUGE in the clubs.
I have the tee shirts one black one purple
Favorite Prince song, Adore. Favorite Prince Album Emancipation.
Thanks for sharing, love you Prince!
I am a big Prince fan and gotta give you props for not having many mistakes on this video. Well done!
He is the #1the absolute best
Awesome video thank you for uploading it 💜

One nite alone is good I would love to see one nite alone live
You are a fantastic channel. I am so glad I discovered ya, finally!
Well thank you! That means a lot!
great, thanks for sharing this!
Wow .He was a Hard Working Machine!!!
Nicely done! Enjoyed watching
Thank you so much!
Luved it! Thanx💜
Thanks for watching! :D
It's impossible to choose a favourite Prince song! That's like choosing a favourite child...Been a Prince fan since 1986, saw him 59 times live in Europe. It's a pity you only focussed on the albums and not the concerts. Prince was the greatest performer of all time. His concerts in Europe sold out everytime. He especially had a huge following in Holland & Belgium. He also used to do impromptu aftershows, which I was lucky enough to attend to several, where he would perform in small clubs a jam like or improvisational show. Prince was a musical genius. There will never be another like him :'-(
prince will always be the greatest musician and entertainer of all time
Underrated video, this was awesome! 👏💜
Great article 💜💜💜
Excellent video, thanks!
love you man. You guys are just awesome keep posting plss
Simply unsurpassed in musical talent. ❤️❤️❤️
Prince and Michael Jackson was great artist and both was pure genius I love prince and Michael music and I still listen to both Rip Prince Roger Nelson and Michael Jackson ❣️❣️ gone to soon but you're music will live on for ever
Great Video!!! Thank u!
Thx for the video prince is the best artist on earth RIP prince 🙏🛐
Hit and run please one is my favorite awesome tracks on there
You didn’t mention about his performance at the Super Bowl being in the rain “singing purple rain” & how ironic it was and how the rain made it so awesome!
Man so many great songs
Don’t forget the Camille album
Love the chaos and disorder album another favorite of mine
There was one album missing... "Newpowersoul"
He was great with the music. 💜☔
Nice emojis
*Awesome an informative post👍🎸👍*
