Today we honor what would have been Prince’s 66th birthday. Thank you Prince for sharing your musical genius with the world. You’ve made it a better place. 40 years ago this month, music history was made when Prince dropped his 9-track album Purple Rain, followed by the motion picture of the same name. The album and film won Prince two Grammys, two American Music Awards, a Brit Award, and an Academy Award for “Best Original Song Score.” The Library of Congress added the album to the National Recording Registry in 2012 for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically important.” On June 21, 2024, The Revolution will be playing a live concert at First Avenue in downtown Minneapolis as part of Celebration 2024! Morris Day, The NPG, and Taj Farrant will be performing at State Theatre on June 22nd. Celebrate Prince’s birthday today by grabbing your tickets, available now at the link in bio.
