Prince:Pioneer of the new sound? ok so ive listened to quite alot of music from the late 70's but when i listened to prince's 'for you' and 'prince' ive never really heard musical new-instrument sounds like that,except for maybe donna summer.
but who would you say came up with that use of music? ''now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, a fanatical criminal'' | |

Right from 'For You' Prince replaced traditional horn lines with synths, which became the trademark of the Minneapolis sound.
Not that no-one else ever used synths that way, but this is what Prince pioneered if you wanna put it that way, right from the get go. | |
