For millions of fans around the world, Prince was a musical innovator. He blended rock, funk, pop, R&B and soul in ways that were uniquely his own.
For Minnesotans, he was also one of our own — an artist who helped put the state on the global music map, and whose influence remains as powerful today as it was during his lifetime.
Prince’s legacy will be celebrated with a five-day tribute starting June 3 and including a block party and singalong in downtown Minneapolis.
MPR News host Angela Davis talks to someone who knew Prince well — his attorney, business advisor and friend.
