Prince: The Man and His Music

Author(s): Matt Thorne

Music

Famously reticent, perverse, and controversial, Prince is one of the few remaining superstars of the 1980s who still, perhaps, remains an enigma. Now a firm fixture in the pop canon, where such classics as "Purple Rain," "Sign o' the Times," and "Parade" regularly feature in Best Ever Album polls, Prince is widely held to be the greatest musician of his generation. His live performances are legendary and his influence on musicacross pop, indie rock, hip hop, and RBhas never been more evident. Matt Thorne's "Prince" has been written from years of research and interviews with dozens of intimate associates, and examines every phase of Prince's career over thirty-five years."
