Neon Nights - 042 - Prince Tribute

Neon Nights Show #042 “Prince Tribute”

“Why do we scream at each other…”

Tonight on show #42 we pay tribute to Prince aka Prince Rogers Nelson.

We are grieving once again the loss of a superstar. Pr1nce, legendary music artist whose influence spanned 4 decades, has died at age 57.

The singer, songwriter, arranger and instrumentalist broke through in the late 1970s with the hits “Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?” and “I Wanna Be Your Lover,” and soared over the following decade with such albums as “1999” and “Purple Rain.” The title song from “1999” includes one of the most widely quoted refrains of popular culture: “Tonight I’m gonna party like it’s 1999.” He’s sold more than 100 million records and is on Rolling Stone’s list of 100 greatest artists.

*Prince Rogers Nelson (June 7, 1958 – April 21, 2016), known as Prince, was an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and actor. He was a musical innovator and known for his eclectic work, flamboyant stage presence, extravagant dress and makeup, and wide vocal range. His music integrates a wide variety of styles, including funk, rock, R&B, soul, psychedelia, and pop. He has sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He won seven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award for the film Purple Rain.  He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the first year of his eligibility. Rolling Stone ranked Prince at number 27 on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.  *courtesy of Wikipedia

Also on tonight’s show are some extracts of interviews I had with Sheena Easton and Martika, who both share their experiences working with Pr1nce on their respective songs.

It was tough to pick a selection of songs to pay tribute to this amazing artist. I hope you enjoy the one’s I’ve chosen
Saturday 7pm GMT+10 on JOY949.

Rest In Peace, Pr1nce Rogers Nelson (June 7, 1958 – April 21, 2016)
