Summary

"Until his untimely death in 2016, Prince entertained, amused, and just as often confused legions of fans and followers in a prolific and purple career that spanned four decades. This volume covers it all-the number-one hits, the protégés, sidekicks, and rivals, the down-and-dirty funk and the arena rock, the accolades, the after shows, and the eternal mysteries of the Vault"--
