![]() By the time of his death, Prince had sold around 100 million albums and had written and recorded hundreds of unreleased songs. Along with his natural gifts came an unmatchable work ethic that allowed him to produce 39 studio albums, four live albums, countless compilations, and classic hit songs for numerous artists. ![]() According to the BBC, it is said that Prince played 27 different instruments on his debut album For You. However, to everyone familiar with his work, Prince was the personification of music, an all-around artist who played most of the instruments on his albums. ![]() And to those who were fans of Prince during his rise to worldwide stardom in the '80s, he was The Kid from Purple Rain. To others, mainly younger generations, he was a mythical being recreated on Chappelle's Show who made great pancakes and could "shoot the J" in any pickup game of basketball. To some, he was a symbol of defiance who rebelled against the music industry's control over artistic freedom, even changing his name to a glyph that no one - including his record label - could pronounce.
