Prince was one of a kind. We will never have another one of him.

@evancampbell8894

We must love them before theyโ€™re gone if we can

@user-lu1qt4lc2b

What a legend!!!!โคโคโค still listening in 2024!!!

@kennethrutledge-gi3ul

This is the reason the music of today can't , won't and never compete with this music. Absolutely pure genius

@lucas82

Such a ridiculously talented man. Amazing voice, killer dance moves, great songwriter, insane amount of game, and, if the legend is to be believed, a good basketball player too.

@henrirennet9306

How many albums did you sell by yourself ?

@KundoKun

It's all about being confident in yourself and not conforming to others' expectations. Prince encourages us to take risks and follow our own path to success.

@Brian2017

Exactly

@giuseppelibertino6714

Prince was the only man who could wear high heels and lipstick, and still take your woman.

@johanjonsson3591

And then i would be mad, Not that for he took my Woman but for not taking Me!
