The Profile

American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer; seminal figure in funk, pop and rock who led a prolific career from the mid-1970s until his death in 2016.

Born June 7, 1958; died April 21, 2016. Winner of the 1985 Academy Award associated with Purple Rain; inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. Noted for the Minneapolis sound, virtuosic multi-instrumentalism, and a highly prolific output and disputes with record labels (notably Warner Bros.).

DeBaser's reviews present Prince as a singular, prolific musician blending funk, rock, R&B and pop. Critics praise his 1980s masterpieces (Dirty Mind, 1999, Purple Rain, Sign 'O' The Times) while noting uneven later output and disputes with labels. Live performances and musicianship are recurring highlights.
