Legendarily reticent, perverse and misleading, Prince was one of the few remaining 80s superstars who remains unexplained. A firm fixture in the pop canon, where such classics as 'Purple Rain', 'Sign o' the Times' and 'Parade' regularly feature in Best Ever Album polls, Prince was, an enigma. His live performances were legendary (21 Nights at the O2 in 2007) and while recent releases were modestly successful at best, his influence on urban music, and R'n'B in particular, has never been more evident. The Minneapolis Sound can now be heard everywhere. Matt Thorne's Prince, through years of research and interviews with ex-Revolution members such as Wendy and Lisa, is an account of a pop maverick whose experiments with rock, funk, techno and jazz revolutionised pop. With reference to every song, released and unreleased, over 35 years of recording, 'Prince' will stand for years to come as the go-to book on the Great Man.
