so share your list of 10...things that are either pioneering, innovative,risky, creative, that prince has done / used in his career to his advantage.
my list...

1, Purple rain era...the movie, the album..the choice of songs.. the timing..
(PIONEERING / RISKY)

2. "kiss" no bassline but funky like a septic tank, ignoring the record execs who think they know what a hit should sound like(RISKY).

3. "heels" the only man who can get away with WEARING them period (DAMN RISKY)!!!

4. no label / managers / total control of his career...now some might disagree to this being benificial..but the man has BALLS...(RISKY / CREATIVE / GROUNDBREAKING)

5.His dress code..(risky/ creative / ground breaking)

6. his fight for artistes rights (creative / risky )

7. giving away Planet Earth with news paper..(risky / innovative)

8. playing 21 nights (sold out) in the same venue..(risky )

9.his overall image, GAY / STRAIGHT or BI-SEXUAL? who knows for a fact the real TRUTH?

giving away Musicology with a conert tic...scoring record album sales.

I would just say Prince's overall persona has been dedicated to being a well rounded spiritual man, business man, musician and performer. Prince really has a World Class Valedictorian Way about Him...And He's beautiful and Smart too...

When U think of a real Prince...Here He Is.
