Why did you start to be a fan? I suppose, like me, because of a song.
I heard Prince first time in 1988 with "Alphabet St." and I liked it very much. But I wasn't a fan. I also liked Batman, Graffiti Bridge and the first singles of Diamonds and Pearls, but the song which turned me into an OBSESSED FAN was

"Money don't matter 2night" (although it's not my favourite Prince song, it was my first one)

And you?

I think Pussy control was the moment that turned me from a fan to a fanatic.

mine was when i 1st saw the purple rain film.

I was totally hooked after hearing "the Beautiful ones"

Its been a rollercoaster ride ever since

When I 1st heard Little Red Corvette on the radio back in 83 I thought this dude is pretty cool. Bought 1999, the album, shortly after and really dug it. But then I heard When Doves Cry, and I was hooked for life.

Alphabet Street way back in the 80s but it was much much later that i started to appreciate him more, when my boyfriend introduced me to a lot of his stuff

im glad u r liking him baby

Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad... I remember carrying the 7" to elementary school with me. I took that damn thing everywhere.

because of an album.

for me it wasn't a special song, but the live-via-satellite-broadcast from the Syracuse-concert 30-03-1985...
those magical words "HELLO SYRACUSE AND THE WORLD...MY NAME IS PRINCE"..the following concert surpassed everything i ever expected ...GO CRAZY!!

most definetly pop life... it changed my whole life

My first song was Batdance back when it came out, but I didn't become a fan until April of last year when I first heard Purple Rain.

A bootleg tape of the Gold Experience sessions.

Well my first song was Sexy Dancer, but I became a fam when I saw Purple Rain. Everything about Prince I loved. I even started eating Doritos because he was eating them in the movie. (Sad but true). Not ashamed of it one little bit.

when doves cry 84

"Alphabet St." in 1988 did it for me (even tought what really did it for me was the entire "Lovesexy" album).

Controversy..I hope i'm not telling my age..I was very young i was telling my uncle who was bumping it at the time that that Controversy was a satanic song. It thought he was saying " do not believe in God". He kept playing it and I was hooked. 1999 followed, then the bandwagon album, Purple Rain...The rest is history.

I Would Die 4 U & Erotic City back in '84.

Let's Pretend We're Married did it 4 me.

GETT OFF !!! When I first saw the video, I became totally addicted to Prince

I had the 1999 record when it 1st came out. I think I was 7 & I've never turned back

No song in particular. The Batman album got me hooked after I saw the movie.

I dug Soft and Wet when I was 8/9 but the song that really got me hooked was Lady Cab Driver.

7, still on in my top 5.

My first Prince song was Controversy...still one of my favorites.

I don't get it, my pic won't post

I've said this time & time again. I was born into worshipping Prince, like a Muslim is born into the Islamic faith.
