Prince is one of those musicians that is easy to place the label of genius, played more than 30 instruments, is one of the best guitarists of his generation and one of the most prolific artists in popular music.This would be nothing if we were not talking about one of the best composers in history and probably the most eclectic.

That's because Minneapolis influences ranging from funk classic James Brown, Sly & The Family Stone and George Clinton to songwriters like Joni Mitchell, through the psychedelia of the Beatles , the attitude of the Stones or the guitar of Hendrix . This makes it very difficult to describe his music, but always ends up sounding only Prince.

His reign (or perhaps more accurately, the principality) all was in the 80's, when anyone with two ears could give reason to Bowie when he said that decade belonged. Clear that among his admirers not only is the White Duke, but some of the most important musicians of the twentieth century, people like Miles Davis, Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Etta James and Stevie Wonder . Still his music is too inimitable like to have fans that sound the same, of course we are going to bring some brave people who have taken up a song by Prince.
