The most overrated musician of all time?
He had maybe 2 hit songs and did the Batman soundtrack......how does this translate to “great”? That’s only slightly better than Macy Grey or Eagle Eye Cherry....am I right? Or am I right?
shareI disagree. Prince is a musician & song writer. He wrote all his own songs. I feel for you (redone by Chaka Khan), Nothing Compares to U (redone by Sinead O Connor) , How come you don't call me (redone by Alicia Keys). Lets also add Gett Off, Diamonds & Pearls, sexy motherfucker, Damn U, Insatiable, The most beautiful Girl in the world. Those are just a few classics I named. He wrote some of Morris Day & the Time hits. He wrote Vanity's Nasty Girl. Dude got a great body of work. The rise of "gangsta rap" and his battle with Warner Music is what hurt his career during the mid 90s until 2000 when he released Musicology which was a hit.
Plus not letting people upload it to YouTube & Spotify is why a lot of the young generation don't know him like they know MJ. Prince was able to hold his own with MJ, Madonna & George Michael whom were dominating the 80s. Prince influenced a lot of R&B singers. Including Lenny Kravtiz.
