Born and raised in Minneapolis, Prince signed a record deal with Warner Bros. Records at the age of 19, soon releasing the albums For You (1978) and Prince (1979). He went on to achieve critical success with the influential albums Dirty Mind (1980), Controversy (1981), and 1999 (1982). His sixth album, Purple Rain (1984), was recorded with his new backing band the Revolution, and was also the soundtrack to the film of the same name in which he starred. Purple Rain garnered continued success for Prince and was a major commercial achievement, spending six consecutive months atop the Billboard 200 chart. The soundtrack also won Prince the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score. After disbanding the Revolution, Prince released the album Sign o' the Times (1987), widely hailed by critics as the greatest work of his career. In the midst of a contractual dispute with Warner Bros. in 1993, he changed his stage name to the unpronounceable symbol logo. Hollow circle above downward arrow crossed with a curlicued horn-shaped symbol and then a short bar (known to fans as the "Love Symbol") and was often referred to as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince (or TAFKAP) or simply The Artist.
After signing with Arista Records in 1998, Prince reverted to his original name in 2000. Over the next decade, six of his albums entered the U.S. top 10 charts. In April 2016, at the age of 57, Prince died after accidentally overdosing on fentanyl at his Paisley Park home and recording studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota. He was a prolific musician who released 39 albums during his life, with a vast array of unreleased material left in a custom-built bank vault underneath his home after his death, including fully completed albums and over 50 finished music videos. He also released songs under multiple pseudonyms during his life, as well as writing songs that were made popular after being covered by other musicians, most notably "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinéad O'Connor and "Manic Monday" by the Bangles. Estimates of the complete number of songs written by Prince range anywhere from 500 to well over 1,000. Released posthumously, his demo albums Piano and a Microphone 1983 (2018) and Originals (2019) both received critical acclaim.
Prince sold over 100 million records worldwide, ranking him among the best-selling music artists of all time. His awards included the Grammy President's Merit Award, the American Music Awards for Achievement and of Merit, the Billboard Icon Award, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe Award. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2016, and was inducted twice into the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame in 2022.

Glam Slam '91
Prince Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seems to transcend the physical
One touch and I'm satisfied
Must be a dream it's so magical
Glam Slam thank you ma'am
You really make my day
Glam Slam thank you ma'am
I know I hold you too tight
But I just can't seem to get close enough (I want to hold you)
I want to hold you every night
I'm so horny and you're the stuff
Glam Slam thank you ma'am
You really make my day
Glam Slam thank you ma'am
I pray you always stay
Heavy feather, flicka nipple
Baby scam water ripple
I don't understand
It means I love you
Come a butterfly straight on your skin
You go for me and I come again
Glam Slam, thank you ma'am
Sun is risen, moon is gone
Soda fizzin' on the lawn
Come a butterfly straight on your skin
Glam Slam
Glam Slam, thank you ma'am
You really make my day
This thing we got, it's alive!
It seems to transcend the physical
One touch and I'm satisfied (ooh, baby)
Must be a dream it's so magical
Glam Slam thank you ma'am
You really make my day
Glam Slam thank you ma'am
I pray you always stay
Glam Slam
You will always stay
You will always stay
It's all right, it's OK
The lyrics of Prince's song "Glam Slam '91" suggest a deep connection between the singer and his love interest. He describes their physical relationship as something that transcends the physical realm and makes him feel as if he's in a dream. The singer desires to be close to the love interest all the time and expresses extreme horniness towards them. The chorus, "Glam Slam thank you ma'am, you really make my day" expresses the intensity of the singer's feelings towards the love interest, whom he wants to stay with forever.
The bridge of the song includes nonsensical lyrics such as "Heavy feather, flicka nipple, baby scam water ripple," which may suggest that the singer is so overwhelmed with emotion that he cannot express himself in logical terms. The chorus of the song is repeated several times, emphasizing the importance of the love interest in the singer's life. Overall, the song conveys an intense passion and connection between two individuals that goes beyond the physical realm.

It's all right, it's OK
As long as we have each other, everything is going to be alright
