Those were the days -- Prince's creativity grew in leaps and bounds while he was a very young musician -- it's hard to believe that 1999 was written less than 2 years after Dirty Mind. His musical growth from album to album (most of which were only one year apart) was outstanding in those days. It was all so surreal -- almost like he was some kind of comic-book superhero who could accomplish anything within a very short time, and I didn't even mention all the side projects he had going on: The Time, Vanity 6, The Rebels, and all their associated artists as well: Andre, Dez, Jesse, Alexander, Sue Ann, Margie, etc.

ROLLING STONE (1981)
Will the little girls understand?
By Bill Adler
With his racially and sexually mixed five-piece band churning out the terse rhythms of "Sexy Dancer" behind him, the effect is at once truly sexy and more than a little disorienting , and his breathy falsetto only adds to his ambiguity -- for sheer girlish vulnerability, there's no one around to touch him: not Michael Jackson, not even fourteen-year-old soul songbird Stacy Lattisaw.


Rolling Stone (1983)
Prince's Hot Rock
The secret life of America's sexiest one-man band

By DEBBIE MILLER
And from the giddy "Gotta Stop Messin' About" to "Let's Work," nobody has so well expressed the exhilarating freedom of adolescent sexual energy since Michael Jackson yelped "I Want You Back."



ROLLING STONE (1990)
PRINCE TALKS
BY NEAL KARLEN

What Prince listens to on his own time is a grab bag. He likes rap: he's recently signed rappers T.C. Ellis and Robin Power to record on his Paisley Park label but denies that he'll be producing songs for M.C. Hammer. "I like his stuff a lot," Prince says. "We've talked but not about working together." He also gives highly favorable mentions to the likes of Madonna, Michael Jackson, Patti LaBelle and Bette Midler. "I'm not real into Bruce Springsteen's music," he says, "but I have a lot of respect for his talent.".



ROLLING STONE (1996)
With a loving wife and a baby on the way,
and a "slave" to Warner Bros. Records no more,
0{+> is feeling downright giddy about his new, three-disc long Emancipation

by Anthony DeCurtis

Terry Lewis, has produced gigantic hits for both Michael and Janet Jackson




Rolling Stone is partly to blame. in only 2 or 3 P interviews is mike's name not mentioned...Stacy Lattisaw: loved her ballads

Not Rolling Stone's fault -- that's what the publicists used to say to make Prince look even more like a genius -- they subtracted 2 years from his age.
