Prince artist popular songs |
Prince was a pop and soul music writer, singer, and musician. At times, he was Prince And The Revolution or Prince And The New Power Generation aka Prince And The NPG. Prince was his given name at birth. Despite that, Warner Brothers sued him over the right to his name. For a while, he was known by a picture which he called 'the love symbol.' He was also tagged with names including 'the unpronouncible symbol' or 'the artist formerly known as Prince.' Prince had a Rock Top 20 one hit wonder with the song Let's Go Crazy, which reached number 17. Prince also had a side project called The Family which made a rare original of Nothing Compares 2 U, a number one song for Sinead O'Connor. |
| Prince songs were heavily recycled, including two album tracks that became hits for others. The 1980 song I Feel For You became a 1984 number 4 hit for Chaka Khan. The 1984 song Darling Nikki became a 2005 number 13 rock hit for Foo Fighters. |
