Prince (born Prince Rogers Nelson in 1958) recorded his first demos in 1976 and signed with Warner Brothers Records. His first album, 1978's For You, was recording with Prince playing all the instruments, a task he would repeat in the future, although he sometimes employed backing bands as well. The album featured an R&B hit, "Soft And Wet". His self titled second album, this time with a band, had two successful singles, "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?" and "I Wanna Be Your Lover." Prince's 1980 album, Dirty Mind, was a critical smash as was the follow-up, Controversy. His next album, 1999, was his first mainstream success, selling in the millions and yielding two hit singles, "Little Red Corvette" and "1999". 1984's Purple Rain was even bigger and made him a superstar. The album was the soundtrack to an autobiographical movie of the same name and had three huge hits, "When Doves Cry," "Let's Go Crazy," and "Purple Rain". It began a streak of successful albums always yielding a hit single or two, including ""Raspberry Beret" from Around The World In A Day, "Kiss" from Parade, and "U Got the Look" from Sign "O" The Times. |
