sign o the times...awards...

sign o the times! Does anyone know how many (if any) awards this album recieved?
its amazing how great a musician prince is & how few awards he recieved in his career so far....whats the deal here ?
One of the most creative ,original,ground breaking,inspirational multi-talented(& I could go on & on)artiste of his generation...yet 4 grammys (only)?

Did he reacieve awards for ...

kiss(song)
lovesexy(album)
raspberry beret(song)
sign o the times (album)...well U2 was donated that year.
adore,icnttpoym,the cross(songs)
was he ever nominated(Oscar) for song score for utcm movie?
the gold experience(album) or any of the songs on it ?
Song score for Batman song/album...

Ijust realize that I couldnt possibly name them all...but you get my drift?
but thats really sad and unfare...he should be right up there with Stevie Wonder with Grammy nods(& at least nominations )...
we are talking about "probably" the best in the art of music making ...at least one album per year every year...

So what then does the little man need to prove to be rewarded justly?

if u read carefully one the credits on Batman u will notice that P had nothing to do with the musical score, that was Danny Elfman i think, Prince wrote the songs, there is a big difference

songs of a movie = "song score"

I thought there were two soundtracks to that movie, one was Prince's and the other was background music from the movie.

There were - I know this because I received the wrong one as a gift!

There's the Prince soundtrack and the Danny Elfman score. Big difference.

Wiki entry:

"There were two albums released in conjunction with Batman. The first was an album by Prince featuring songs from the film (including "Batdance") and others inspired by it. It is considered the official soundtrack album. The second album features the original score by composer Danny Elfman."

http://en.wikipedia.org/w...89_film%29

Some of Elfman's score uses the melody from Scandalous and credits Prince and John L. Nelson accordingly.

Elfman won a Grammy at the 32nd Annual Awards (1989) for 'The Batman Theme' in the category of "Best Instrumental Composition".
