On his birthday, what three things would you THANK him for

Well, I can name many more than three. But I would thank him for

1. His music

2. His concerts, especially the live guitar playing

3. His sense of style

I would thank Prince for giving the world his:
1. mind
2. body
3. soul

His mission was accomplished here on Earth, blessing us with his God given talent, as he said. Nothing left for him to do now accept rest in peace.

Exactly! And would add His Spiritual Connection with God before he met Larry Graham. He had already done God, Sign of The Times, The Cross, God Is Alive, Holy River, 7, etc.etc. before LG!!! eek biggrin

1. His creativity

2. His boldness/refusing to conform to the status quo/Uniqueness

3. Generosity and support, unlike many black celebrities, he seemed to understand the world around him and tried to make this world a better place.

1. Music

2. Polka dots

3. Paisley

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I thank Prince for:

1) All the memories I have listening and enjoying the music he created

2) The insight into what it means to create freely, ininhibitedly (even if at times it meant ridicule from the rest of the world)

3) Teaching positivity, sharing things forward, and paying respects to those that inspire you.

Change it one more time..

His kind and generous heart.

His music.

And for being Prince. Wouldn't have gotten through some tough times without his musical talent.

His spirituality, which I think really drew me from the first.

His music, which has no equal.

His humor, which was unexpected and delightful.

1. Music 2. Giving his all in live performances, creating such a magical experience for those lucky enough to see him, 3. Being an inspiration as a true individual never afraid to be who he was, even when it invited ridicule
We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams. . .

1. Being an inspiration and friend thru your music ever since I was 10 years old

(1983 and on, yes I am old)! You helped raise me and were there for me

during good times and bad, and are forever in my heart.

2. For speaking your truth thru your music no matter what people thought or what the

consequences, you were a true rebel. Especially love that you spoke and sang about

faith and God, and did it with so much funk and soul and spirit.

3. And finally, giving us all a wealth of music to last us all for generations to come.

Your music transends all races, all musical genres, and has and continues to take us

on an awesome musical ride.

- I love you Prince!!!
