Prince Rogers Nelson (1958–2016) was an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer from Minneapolis. His music brought [[Funk|funk]], [[Soul|soul]], [[Pop|pop]], rock and R&B into the influential Minneapolis Sound.<ref name="prince-mnhs">[https://www.mnhs.org/mnopedia/search/index/person/prince-1958-2016 Kristen Zschomler: Prince, Minnesota Historical Society / MNopedia].

<br />
== Life and career ==<br />
He grew up on Minneapolis's Northside and learned several instruments while still young. ''For You'' (1978) and ''Prince'' (1979) preceded the wider crossover of ''1999'' and ''Purple Rain''. His career combined extensive studio work with bands and live performance rooted in the city's musical networks.<ref name="prince-mnhs" /><br />
<br />
== Music and style ==<br />
Synthesizers, drum machines, guitar and flexible vocal registers could coexist within one arrangement. [[James Brown]], Sly Stone, Joni Mitchell and Jimi Hendrix were among his influences. The Revolution's contributions to ''Purple Rain'' show the collaborative side of an artist also capable of making elaborate recordings largely by himself.<ref name="prince-loc">[https://lcweb2.loc.gov/static/programs/national-recording-preservation-board/documents/PurpleRain.pdf Eddie Santiago: Purple Rain, Library of Congress National Recording Registry essay]. Accessed 23 October 2026.</ref><br />
<br />
== Works and performances ==<br />
''1999'' (1982), ''Purple Rain'' (1984) and ''Sign o’ the Times'' (1987) document different stages. Several ''Purple Rain'' tracks originated in the Revolution's 1983 First Avenue performance. The film, album and tour carried the Minneapolis scene to a global public, with an influence extending to artists including [[Beyoncé]].<ref name="prince-loc" /><br />
