The Purple One (no, not Barney) recently turned 50, which besides making me feel old, seems to be a good milestone to reflect on his influence on life/aesthetics/record (I’m dating myself) collection.

There are so many, but I’ll say that:

-I learned the Lord’s Prayer from “Controversy” (can you tell I didn’t grow up in a terribly religious household?;
-the Christmas I woke up and found every single Prince album to date (about 10) fanned around the Christmas tree (from Santa) – awesome;
-when he references my other favorite artist, Joni Mitchell, in "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker";
-all the misc. things I learned about sensuality from “Erotic City” and “Purple Rain” (first sex scene I saw in movie!) et al...

Please share!

Hi, halhob,


I looove Prince. My favorite songs by him are "Little Red Corvette" and "Most Beautiful Girl in the World." He is one of the most creative performers in the industry. I can't believe he's 50 - he certainly doesn't look it!

Raspberry Beret (If that's even the name of the song) It has been stuck in my head right along with Kung Fu Fighting (by some other guy) since I was 10 [img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif[/img]

I love "When Doves Cry " and "Kiss". Memories of the 80s and my childhood.
