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.
“There’s always a rainbow at the end of every rain.” – Prince Prince consistently instilled hope in millions of people, and even in his absence, his enduring legacy continues to inspire and transform lives.
Paisley Park and Prince Legacy would like to sincerely thank everyone who came out yesterday to spend April 21st in remembrance of Prince. It is our honor to keep his memory and legacy alive, and we cannot do it without you. Thank you for the love, support, and positive energy you brought to his transition day. 💜🕊️🙏 #prince4ever
On this day in 2008, Prince appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to perform the unreleased “Turn Me Loose.” The number was tentatively planned as part of his upcoming triple album Lotusflow3r, but removed before the set’s official release in 2009. Prince performed two additional songs for the audience, “Guitar” and “1999,” but neither aired and both later appeared on Prince’s promotional Lotusflow3r.com website.
The unboxing of the Diamonds And Pearls Super Deluxe Edition is its very own experience! Find a copy at your local record store or place an order at the link in bio. 💜
Prince had eclectic tastes, even when it came to the films he watched. This is the stack of DVDs in The Little Kitchen, which gives you a glimpse into his diverse tastes. Bonus question: can anyone name the two film posters hanging in The Editing Bay at Paisley Park? Hint: one of them is signed by the director. #paisleypark #prince4ever
“Magnificent” is out now! Recorded in May of 2003, it was originally only accessible via Prince’s NPG Music Club as a “virtual B-side” to the title track of Musicology, but never received a retail release and has been officially unavailable as a download to a new generation of Prince fans… until now. Listen to “Magnificent” on all DSPs at the link in bio! 💜
