PRINCE WAS BORN ON THIS DAY IN 1958. The prolific, stylish music artist and dynamic guitarist released 39 studio albums and such chart-topping singles as “When Doves Cry,” “Let’s Go Crazy,” “Kiss” and many more. Besides ruling the music charts in the 1990s and beyond with his infectious pop-funk, Prince was a savvy businessperson, establishing his own label, building a recording studio and leading the way for artists to retain their creative rights. He died at his Paisley Park home/studio in Minnesota in 2016.
