80s80s Prince

Born in 1958, Prince Rogers Nelson dominated the charts in the 80s like few other artists. Prince, who passed away in 2016, was considered a multi-talent: he wrote his own lyrics. He composed and produced. Additionally, he mastered the bass guitar, guitar, piano, keyboard, and drums. He often recorded these instruments himself for his albums. His creative drive also led him into an exhausting battle with the music industry. This resulted in the absurd situation where, in the 90s, he temporarily performed under the name "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince." At times, he also used a symbol as a pseudonym. In his final creative phase, now once again as Prince, he distanced himself from the music industry, increasingly avoiding the distribution channels of major record labels. The 80s were the most commercially successful period for Prince. The album "Purple Rain" spent half a year continuously at number one on the US album charts. During this time, Prince also earned a reputation as an egocentric. 80s80s Prince looks behind the scenes of star antics and legal disputes - at the music of Prince. In all its facets, nonstop.
