| Biography
African-American rock star Prince came into this world as Prince Roger Nelson; he was named for the Prince Roger Trio, a musical aggregation for which his father played. In light of his carefully cultivated public image — the arrogant aloofness, the covey of bodyguards, the overemphasized androgyny — it is sometimes easy to forget that Prince is uncommonly talented; in addition to his singing and composing skills, he is proficient at two dozen musical instruments. Prince's 1978 recording debut came and went without fanfare, but his third album, Dirty Mind, topped the charts. Even more popular was his sixth album, the double-Grammy winner Purple Rain, which of course was derived from his 1984 debut film — which won an Oscar for Original Song Score. Though he insisted that Purple Rain was purely a work of fiction, the story line involves a young black pop singer from Minneapolis whose father is a traditionalist musician, so draw your own conclusions. Prince not only starred in his next picture, Under the Cherry Moon (1985), but also directed. Lensed in black-and-white, the film is a stylish hark-back to the film noir of the late '40s, far better directed than its detractors would have you believe; however, Prince the director would have been better off firing Prince the actor. Prince's last film work was Graffiti Bridge (1990), a sequel to Purple Rain. Later, Prince would change his name to an unpronouncable sign (a combination of the male-female symbol), although he was usually referred to as "the Artist Formerly Known as Prince". In 1999, he changed his name back to Prince.

Credits
Trivia
- In May 2000 Prince dropped the symbol O(+> he adopted as a name. He had used the symbol because he considered his record contract with Warner Bros. Records oppressive, which ended in 2000.
- The symbol to which Prince changed his name (which is best rendered as ether O{+> or O(+> in normal ASCII characters) originated in and was borrowed by Prince from ancient Europe.
- Son, with Mayte Garcia, born with the rare skull disease Pfeiffer's syndrome, and unable to breathe without a ventilator. The child was taken off life support on 23 October and died. [16 October 1996]
- Changed his stage name to O(+>. [7 June 1993]
- Has dated several famous women before settling down: Kim Basinger, Sherilyn Fenn, Apollonia Kotero, and Sheena Easton to name a few.
- Started the careers of Vanity and Carmen Electra amongst others.
- Son of jazz pianist John L. Nelson.
- One of very few artists who has denied 'Weird Al' Yankovic permission to parody any of his songs. After years of asking, ''Weird Al' Yankovic' obtained video parody permission, and the video for UHF (1989) includes a sequence that spoofs the bathtub intro for Prince's video of "When Doves Cry".
- Inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame in March 2004.
- A very short man, he often has to wear large shoes on stage so he is not dwarfed by some female singers.
- He was voted the 28th greatest rock 'n Roll Artist of all time by Rolling Stone.
- Is of African American and Italian descent.
- He joins Sylvester Stallone, Roberto Benigni, Kevin Costner, William Shatner, and Tom Green as being the only actors to direct themselves in performances that would win them a Razzie Award for Worst Actor.
- Did the music for the movie Girl 6 (1996) as Prince. It was the only time he referred to himself as Prince from 1993 to 2000.
- In the late 1990s, he requested to be referred to as simply The Artist, since his initial intention when he changed his name to O(+> was to not be referred to as Prince. Unfortunately that was not going too well, considering everyone was calling him the Artist Formerly Known as Prince because the symbol has no pronunciation.
- The symbol he used as his name was also the name of his last Warner Bros. album as Prince, which was released just a few months before his name change. He recorded as Prince since then on his independently distributed, self-released albums and those licensed to Arista/BMG Records and Columbia/SME Records.
- Known for his colorful outfits and explicitly flaunting and expressing his strong sexuality during his performances, despite being a devout Christian.
- One of the very few musicians who writes, produces, and composes all his music himself. On most of his albums, he plays all the instruments himself, except for brass instruments, which he does not play, though he does have a backing band for concerts. His songwriting skills have provided hits for others such as Chaka Khan, Sinéad O'Connor, and Jordan Knight.
- Played the song "1999" for the last time at a New Year's Eve party in 1999, then announced he was retiring the song.
- During the filming of Purple Rain (1984), he was told one day by director Albert Magnoli that the film needed a montage song that dealt heavily on emotions. Prince responded with two songs the very next morning, written, produced and recorded. One of the songs was the smash hit "When Doves Cry".
- Performed a composition written by his father, John L. Nelson, in the music of Purple Rain (1984); this music was also part a song from the Purple Rain (1984) soundtrack, "Computer Blue".
- His 1984 album "Purple Rain" sold 13 million copies in the United States.
- In 2005 he was told by his doctors that he would need a hip replacement following years of energetic dancing on stage.
- Was to duet with Michael Jackson on his album Bad, but could not decide on the words to the song.
