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 Sinรฉad 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.

Possessed!
The lyrics of Possessed #2 by Prince are suggestive of him losing control over his desire for a woman. He is trapped in a spell of attraction and lust that he is unable to resist, and he describes himself as "possessed" because of these feelings. This possession is brought about by a "satanic lust" that he knows he should restrain from, but his body constantly urges him to act on the attraction. Prince talks about the woman in question, saying that she is all he sees and her voice is all he hears begging him. He wishes he didn't care about her and that he didn't need her in the way he does, but he can't stop his yearning for her. Prince's lyrics within this song are evidence of his mastery of writing about taboo subjects in such an open and raw way that may have made some feel uncomfortable but was artistically forward-thinking.

For all the women seeing this- you are worthy.
For the channel owner, itโs a pathetic share and shows you are chasing clicks versus bringing value and goodness to the world.
How horrible a life of embarrassment this brings for this poor young woman who is probably lovely, but her expression is one of humiliation.
For those who laugh at this consider your mothers, sisters and all the women in the world.
This kind of shame is the source of so much sorrow that is unnecessary.
