I don't think Prince was considered a rock act though. He got little if any airplay on the AOR stations that were around in the 1980s. In the US, he's usually called R&B. I disagree. Ever since Purple Rain, he was a rock star. And maybe even before that: rock critics were raving about him ever since Dirty Mind. But you're right, he's an R & B artist as well. Whenever I'm in a record store, I never know in which section to look for the Prince albums. Some put him in "pop", others in"soul". And that's the beauty of his music: you can't put it in one particular genre!  [Edited 4/5/17 13:36pm] | |

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 | |
