The first time I had ever heard of him was "I Wanna Be Your Lover". By the time of Controversy and 1999, I had no idea it was the same person! I bought the Black Album on bootleg in 1988 and still prefer it to Lovesexy. Never a die-hard fan but have a bunch of his albums. Saw him jump onstage with Stevie Wonder in 2007.

I also prefer Around The World In A Day to Purple Rain!

@bijouxbroussard I was still strictly AM radio at that point and I'm guessing music directors ran screaming from that title!

@uncalled4 R&B radio was a tad more lenient—even then. 😉

@bijouxbroussard That would have been WBLS by me. I'll bet you they played him.

He was an artist.

@JimboSaturn Indeed.

One of a kind.

@Mindfulness Indeed. He was an artist whom I had followed from the beginning of his career. I bought that first album while in college, and the last time I saw him in concert was in 2014. 🥺

@bijouxbroussard You ever see perhaps his first interview. With Dick Clark. 1980. The transformation of his poise later in his life is deep.

This beautiful man ruined my childhood because I didn't know that Muppets could die 🥹
