After watching Purple Rain I Think Prince might be my Dad
When you have taken from us our money sold his photos, made countless books, found every recording you can find, told your stories
We will still be singing in the purple rain.....
IF you don't get it.....YOU BETTER .ask someone
Absolute legend, one of the greatest artists to have ever lived and will always be remembered for his craft, his music, his talent and his legacy...

What I absolutely loved about Prince. Isn't just about how incredibly talented this man was. And what a gift he left behind for all of us to listen and watch and remember, was his humbleness

Revisiting Prince’s ‘Dirty Mind’ (1980) | Retrospective Tribute
Even though it spans only eight tracks and clocks in at a little over a half-hour, listening to Prince’s third studio affair remains a half-hour very well spent.
“The Revolution will be heard!” 💜
In addition to introducing his band the New Power Generation to the world, Prince's Diamonds and Pearls artwork and videos would also introduce his two latest dancers and visual foils: Lori Elle Werner (Diamond) and Robia LaMorte-Scott (Pearl).
The duo were first cast to play twin dancers in the video for "Cream." "A dance job that was intended to last a week morphed into almost two years of shooting music videos and album covers, and an international concert tour," Robia recalled. #DiamondsandPearls
STAY #WILD YALLL 🤟
Prince first uttered the words “Welcome to the New Power Generation!” at the top of his 1988 album Loves*xy. In 1990’s Graffiti Bridge, a two-part anthem "New Power Generation" further teased his new group.
But it wasn’t until 1991 that the New Power Generation was officially introduced as a live band — and for the first time since disbanding The Revolution, Prince brought his band into the spotlight to play alongside him on the co-credited #DiamondsandPearls.
Pictured is the classic, original lineup of the New Power Generation: (top row) Damon Dickson, Levi Seacer Jr., Michael Bland, Tony M. and (bottom row) Kirk Johnson, Tommy Barbarella, Rosie Gaines, and Sonny T. Photo by Randee St. Nicholas.
