WELCOME TO
ONE THING I’VE NOTICED... IT’S NOT
THAT PRINCE WAS PROLIFIC (IF ANYTHING
HE WAS HYPER-PROLIFIC: 39 ALBUM
RELEASES FROM 1978 TO 2015). IT’S
THAT, IN ADDITION TO HIS OWN CAREER
23
AS A PERFORMER, HE’S BEEN ALMOST
INVISIBLY UBIQUITOUS
o while we look back at
ACROSS THE LAST
Prince’s greatest albums
FIVE DECADES:
and singles, I’m revelling
in everything else: the
DANCING AROUND
songs he donated to other artists
BEHIND THE SCENES
which became massive, those
SONGWRITING,
that he wrote for protégés (does
anyone even have protégés any
CO-WRITING, TALENT-
more?), and guest spots, from Kate
SCOUTING, GUEST
Bush’s
Why Should I Love You
to
STARRING, DIRECTING
Madonna’s
Love Song.
The highlights from this Now
AND ORCHESTRATING
That’s What I Call Prince playlist
THE TEMPLATE OF POP
would include the songs which
AS WE KNOW IT.
became hits for other artists, kick-
S
starting their careers. Like Sinéad
O’Connor’s
Nothing Compares 2
U,
The Bangles’
Manic Monday
and Chaka Khan’s
I Feel For You.
Then there were the songs that
reinvented careers. Like
Love...
Thy Will Be Done
for Martika,
and my personal favourite,
Born
To B.R.E.E.D.
for Monie Love. The
biggest reinvention of all was
Sheena Easton’s
Sugar Walls,
taking her from Scottish sweetheart
to feeling the wrath of Jimmy
Swaggart and the American
Parental Advisory brigade.
There was a time when an
artist might have been mocked,
or at least pigeon-holed, for
being a Prince protégé. But who
else A&R’d such a long line of
talent and brought them to public
attention? Wendy & Lisa, Sheila E.,
Tevin Campbell and Taja Sevelle,
groups like Vanity 6/Apollonia 6,
The Family, Madhouse, Milenia,
The Revolution and 3RDEYEGIRL.
Of all of these I’ll keep going back
to Wendy & Lisa’s
Lolly Lolly
or
Ingrid Chavez’s
May 19 1992
as
much as I will
1999
or
Lovesexy.
Track back at random 10-year
intervals and you can hear pop
music developing, and hear
Prince’s constant influence. 1982
– The Pointer Sisters keep things
fresh for their ninth album with a
cover of
I Feel For You
(two years
before Chaka’s version). 1992
– Arrested Development sample
Alphabet Street
(without consent)
on
Tennessee.
2002 – Beyoncé
riffs off
If I Was Your Girlfriend
for her vocal on Jay-Z’s
‘03
Bonnie And Clyde.
2012 – Jessie
Ware takes the drum loop from
The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker
when she writes her debut single,
Running.
All of which guarantees
that in 2022, 2032 and beyond,
there’ll be big hit records
referencing, sampling, riffing – but
all audibly inspired – by Prince.

PRINCE 1958-2016
08
Yet another musical genius lost to the world
in 2016. Prince was more than just a pop star:
he was a master songsmith, supplying hits
for many others beside himself, an incredible
vocalist and musician and – of course – a
flamboyant and unique performer…
