Black History fact #20: Prince

A virtual one-man band, Prince sculpted and created the Minneapolis Sound through his keyboards, screeching, almost pleading vocals and erotic live shows.

Named after his father's jazz band, the Prince Rogers Band, Prince Rogers Nelson had music in his blood from birth.   Prince is said to be a perfectionist who is highly protective of his music. He writes, composes and produces the majority of his music himself and plays most of the instruments on his albums.

Prince holds the record for longest pop-album, Emancipation (1996), which is exactly 3 hours long. He changed his name to the unpronounceable glyph O(+> from 1993 to 2000.
