Hey there! I love listening to Prince sing. He was such a classic. Do you like him?
1_Wizard
I really like him.  He is so eclectic, none of his stuff sounds the same so it never gets old!
0_Apprentice
Yeah. Do you know when he started his career? 
1_Wizard
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?
1_Wizard
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.
