 Prince or  or "The Artist" was born
Prince Roger Nelson on June 7, 1958 in
Minneapolis. Prince taught himself how to play
many instruments and self-produced his first LP, For
You,
by 1978. As his success grew, he eventually
founded his own label: Paisley Park. Prince's
musical styles have been compared to James
Brown, Jackie Wilson and
other r&b heavy weights, but as Prince's
career grew, Prince became a legend on his own
merit with a knack for delivering funk, rock and
soul with an occasional pop feel. Prince has
amassed 11 #1 hits and 22 Top 10 hits on the pop
charts. Prince released a string of LPs
throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s in
addition to touring, writing and producing for
other artists and staring in a few movies. His
first 4 LP releases were modest hits with R&B
audiences and are considered to be some of his
best work. Prince was allowed great independence
from his record label, Warner Brothers, to create
his own kind of music.
 April 7: Prince released his debut
LP For
You
which contained the hit "Soft And Wet"
- the only track on the LP not written
exclusively by Prince. Prince also produced the
debut LP and played all the instruments.
 February: Prince was certified platinum.
- October 9: Prince was booed off
stage and had beer cans thrown his way when
appearing in LA as an opening act for the Rolling
Stones.
 October 14: Prince released Controversy with the hit title track
and "Let's Work." Prince's suggestive
lyrics continued with the tracks "Do Me,
Baby" and "Jack U Off."
- October 27: Prince released the 2-LP
set, 1999 which introduced Prince
more to pop audiences the following year. The set
included the hits "1999," "Little Red Corvette,"
"Delirious," and "Let's Pretend
We're Married."
      
 January: 1999 was certified gold.
- May: 1999 was certified platinum.
- October: 1999 was certified 2x platinum.
 October 6: Prince hit the ARC Weekly Top 40 with
"Purple Rain." Prince explained
the meaning of the song: ""When there's
blood in the sky – red and blue = purple...
purple rain pertains to the end of the world and
being with the one you love and letting your
faith/god guide you through the purple
rain."- October 6: Prince topped the
Billboard Black Singles chart for 1 week with
"Let's Go Crazy."
- October 20: Prince hit Top 10 with "Purple Rain."
 April 22: Prince's much anticipated
follow-up LP came in 1985 with Around
The World In A Day. The LP was described as a more
pop-friendly Prince with less sexual overtones in
his music. Prince topped the charts with "Raspberry Beret" and had success with
"Pop Life" and
"America."
- A bootleg Prince LP, The
Black Album was "released." The LP
was later officially released to the public in
1994 in limited amounts.
      
      
 September: Prince changed his name
to a combination of the male and female symbol: . His name pronunciation since then
has ranged from "The Artist Formerly Known
As Prince," "TAFKAP," The
Artist," and "Victor." Yet, most
people, Rock On The Net included, have their own
pronunciation of the symbol: "Prince."
Prince also implied that he might never release a
studio LP again. - September 2: The video for "7" was nominated for a MTV Video Music Award for Best R&B Video.
 September 14: As fans pondered what to
call Prince, they were rewarded with a 3-CD
release of his hits and b-sides: The
Hits - The B-Sides. The set was also sold separately
as The
Hits
and The
Hits 2.
- July: The Purple
Rain
soundtrack was certified 11x platinum.
- August: The
Hits
was certified platinum.
- May: The Purple
Rain
soundtrack was certified 13x platinum.
 July 9: Prince released his final
offering from Warner Brothers, Chaos
And Disorder with the moderate hit, "Dinner
With Delores."- July: Prince's dissatisfaction
with fulfilling his record company's obligations
were evident when he appeared on the Today
Show performing tracks from the LP with the
word "slave" written on his face.
 Prince released a 3-CD set of
unreleased material available by mail-order from
Prince's website. With Prince no longer
associated with EMI Records, the artist felt a
greater sense of musical freedom: "My
success is no longer defined by others..."
Internet sales of Crystal
Ball
have shown to be brisk. Although total sales are
less than a typical release would initiate, the
direct profit for the musicians is more
substantial. Prince stated that "...charts,
awards and grades at school R sociopsychotic
illusion."
 March 3: Crystal
Ball
was later sold exclusively at Best Buy stores
followed by Musicland and Blockbuster stores. The
CD set - a collection of older, unreleased Prince
material - included the acoustic tracks on The
Truth (a CD free when the Crystal
Ball
was also purchased).

distributed through NPG Records.

download his 26-minute single, "The
War" for free off his website, love4oneanother, and talked with SonicNet
Music News: "It's our music... go tape
it and give it to friends... spread it
around." Prince is also encouraging fans who
download the song make a donation to a children's
charity.

several dates of his current tour with Chaka
Khan after he sprained his ankle while
performing in Atlantic City. The accident was
believed to be due to a slick stage caused by a

there won't be no need to play it in the

 March 4: Whitney was honored at
the Soul Train Music Awards as the Artist of the
