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.

Te Amo Corazón
Prince Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's where you and I first came to be
From the dust of the earth and the knowledge tree
Te amo corazon
At last I can tell you what I've known so long
My heart's been crying out to sing this song
I don't care who knows it
Te amo corazon
I'm so scared of losing you
I really don't know what I'd do
Can't bear the thought of another day apart
My heart, my heart, corazon
Once when I first laid eyes on you
I saw heaven and earth anew
Everyone else saw my brown eyes no longer blue
Te amo corazon
At first I couldn't find the words to say
How much you changed me in every way
I just wanna thank you
Each and every day
Te amo corazon

At forty two thousand feet above the sea
It was at a very high altitude we met
That's where you and I first came to be
We met at that heightened level for the first time
From the dust of the earth and the knowledge tree
Our union was formed from the basic elements of life and our combined understanding
Te amo corazon
I love you, my heart
At last I can tell you what I've known so long
Finally, I am able to express what has been in my heart for a while
My heart's been crying out to sing this song
For a long time, my heart has yearned to express this feeling
I don't care who knows it
I do not mind who hears it
Cause there's nothing wrong
It is a pure and honest emotion
I'm so scared of losing you
The thought of losing you is terrifying to me
I really don't know what I'd do
I am not sure how I would cope in such a scenario
Can't bear the thought of another day apart
Being away from you even for a day is unbearable for me
My heart, my heart, corazon
My heart belongs to you completely
Once when I first laid eyes on you
The first time I saw you
I saw heaven and earth anew
Everything seemed different, as if I was seeing everything anew
Everyone else saw my brown eyes no longer blue
My love for you had changed the way I appeared to others
Te amo corazon
I love you, my heart
At first I couldn't find the words to say
Initially, I was lost for words
How much you changed me in every way
You have transformed me in every aspect of my being
I just wanna thank you
I only desire to express my gratitude to you
Each and every day
Every single day
Te amo corazon
I love you, my heart

The man never did age . He will always stay young
@oliviatomlinson6233
I was gonna say the same thing. I realize that between Sheila, E and Apollonia, and even Vanity before she passed away had all aged significantly, but Prince remain looking the same.
