Having actually seen Prince play live (on a whim I might add), I can attest to the genius thing. His guitar playing and showmanship blew me away and it was six months later that I realized the true genius of the man. His album Musicology was the number one selling record of the year. We received a copy when we walked into the show as he included its sale with the purchase of a ticket and toured until he had sold enough to beat out even McCartney and Dave Mathews!
John Blackwell on the drums was fugging CRAZY to watch. RIP
