on youtube this week (1991 Arsenio Hall Show with 22+ min Prince performance).

Prince had removed all songs/videos from spotify, youtube, etc.
They're all being re-uploaded, including all his MTV videos.

Like watching James Brown + Michael Jackson + Bruno Mars (who wouldn't exist w/out Prince's influence) + the embrace of guitar/rock music:

Let's go crazy
Kiss
Cream
Purple Rain
Daddy Pop.

The dude was odd/eccentric (that Chappele Show skit was based on reality) and fought his record companies for ownership, yet still had 19 Top 10 Singles, including 5 #1's:

Occupied some odd space between musical genres (/genders :-) that doesn't exist today with the fractured and compartmentalized nature of music with the internet.
