(9,463 posts)"Today, the world lost a creative icon," President Obama wrote on Facebook. "Michelle and I join millions of fans from around the world in mourning the sudden death of Prince. Few artists have influenced the sound and trajectory of popular music more distinctly, or touched quite so many people with their talent. As one of the most gifted and prolific musicians of our time, Prince did it all. Funk. R&B. Rock and roll. He was a virtuoso instrumentalist, a brilliant bandleader, and an electrifying performer.
A strong spirit transcends rules, Prince once said -- and nobody's spirit was stronger, bolder, or more creative. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, his band, and all who loved him."

I was a DJ for 15 years with my peak time about the same time as Prince's, late 70's - early 90's. I would get tired of songs quick playing 8 hours a night, but never tired of Prince. The Purple Rain soundtrack is one of the all time best!
