Is there anything that Prince hasn't done? Think about this. Prince has done everything I can think of.
He's won every award there is to win in entertainment (except, I guess, a Tony but that's not in his future).
He's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and has received Lifetime Achievement awards from several prominent organizations.
He's set every sales record possible in music.
He's played every single venue of note in the entire world (including the Super Bowl).
He's won awards for his internet sites (although most agree that his latest one was a trainwreck).
He's distributed music in every way I can think of, including giving it away at concerts.
He's done every kind of tour there is - arena, stadium, residencies, hit and run, small clubs.
He's played more aftershows than most artists have played regular concerts (well, that might be a little stretch but you get my point).
He's dueted with many great artists, and lots of not-so-great artists.
He's developed more proteges than anyone I can think of, and some of them became incredible successes.
He's had more songs covered by other artists that went to #1 or were very successful than anyone I can think of.
He's easily the most stylish rock star in history.
Now, I know some of you smarties are going to say stuff like, "He's never played in my living room!" but I can't stop that.
So for the serious among you, can you think of anything Prince has not accomplished? | |

Yeah, but he's not a TV star.
He owns or owned every sales record Warner Brothers ever had.

He hasn't released a decent live DVD yet.
He hasn't released one single remastered album yet. |

He hasn't died. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

He hasn't wore a gingham dress whilst sitting in a bath full of cold custard and sang 'I'm A Little Tea-Pot' for 9 hours.... and until he does, I won't be happy. | |

He hasn't done that that you know of. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Well if you have THAT bootleg, we need to trade!LMAO, you jokers make my point.
Prince has done everything there is to do in the world of music. I even forgot to mention that he released two of the highest-grossing music-based movies ever.
The man has done EVERYTHING. The only things left to do are the things he can think up.
Sometimes we lose sight of the fact that Prince is the greatest musician, entertainer and rock star that has ever walked the face of the earth. | |

I don't lose sight of that. EVER..............some people don't miss certain things, until they are gone. | |

Yep.
My perception changed when Prince "retired" after ATWIAD. For all I knew, he was serious.
So I decided that I'd be grateful for whatever I had from him, because there might not be any more. (Fortunately, there was a LOT more!) | |

He hasn't recorded a song with Tony Bennett. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Wendy & Lisa have an emmy for scoring, so it is within the realm of music. He hasn't done movie scores either. And why is a Tony not in his future? Didn't his music get turned into a ballet, and hasn't he mentioned interest in doing some sort of stage show? But yes, he's done an amazingly lot of stuff, quite a legacy already.

He hasn't won the Grammy for Best Historical Album. A remastered Purple Rain box set in 2014 (the 30-year anniversary) would be a solid contender if it was done right. The Census Bureau estimates that there are 2,518 American Indians and Alaska Natives currently living in the city of Long Beach. |

I would love to witness a musical featuring his music original and new.....I then want to see him pimp walk on the stage and snatch up the Tony.....then when the show is done and they have the final curtain call I want to be seated front row dead center, and my man just comes out and blow us away with some over the top guitar driven song....he ends it.....the place is silent cuz everyone will have the "Chris Tucker Friday face on" y'all know the wide out Daaaaammmmmn look, and the place explodes with Prince standing there with a smirk on his face like yeah I know.
