Remembering Prince on the 7th Anniversary of his death with his Top 10 songs of all time. Seven years ago, the world lost one of the greatest music legends of all time: Prince. He was a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer who revolutionized the music industry with his blend of funk, soul, rock, and pop. He was also a fashion icon, an activist, and a trailblazer in the fight for artistic freedom and ownership. His influence on music and culture can still be felt today, and his legacy continues to inspire generations of artists, musicians, and fans around the world. As we mark the 7th anniversary of his passing, let’s take a moment to reflect on his music, his impact, and his legacy.
Prince, born Prince Rogers Nelson, was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1958. He began playing music at a young age and was playing multiple instruments and writing his own music. He released his first album, “For You,” in 1978, and quickly rose to fame with hits like “1999,” “Purple Rain,” and “Kiss.” He continued to release new music throughout the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, and remained a prolific artist up until his death.
Narrowing it down to only 10 of his greatest songs when he was such an icon WAS as hard as it seems. Prince has five US number-one singles and fifteen worldwide number 1 hits, as well as 8 worldwide number-one albums!
As we remember Prince on the 7th anniversary of his passing, let us celebrate his life and legacy. He was a musical genius, a fashion icon, and a tireless advocate for artistic freedom and social justice. His influence is still felt today, and his music and message continue to inspire and uplift us. Although he may be gone, his spirit lives on through his music, his legacy, and his impact on the world.
