Hey there! I love listening to Prince sing. He was such a classic. Do you like him?
I really like him.  He is so eclectic, none of his stuff sounds the same so it never gets old!
Yeah. Do you know when he started his career? 
He started when he was only 17!  His debut album For You was released in 1978.
Wow, I didn't realize it was so long ago. I must be getting old! Has he always played with the name band?
He started playing with his band Revolution in 1984.  Their first album was Purple Rain...a classic!
Hm... yeah I loved Purple Rain. That song was amazing. Is he still alive? I haven't been following the music scene lately.
Unfortunately, no.  He died in 2016.  A tragic end to a brilliant life.  He had done so much including winning an Academy award and selling 100 Million records.
