Prince (June 7, 1958-April 21, 2016)
He ranks among the most successful artists of all time, having reportedly sold over 100 million records during his Grammy-winning, trendsetting, wonderfully eclectic career. Prince was a towering figure in the ‘80s, on par with Michael Jackson and Madonna, thanks to the unprecedented success of the "Purple Rain" album and film.
