Prince was an American singer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and actor from Minneapolis, Minnesota, known for his genre-defying music and flamboyant, androgynous persona. By 1982, he was transitioning from the R&B and funk-oriented sound of his early albums to a more rock-influenced, mainstream appeal, a trajectory that would culminate in the massive success of his next album, 1999.
