The Top 10 Prince Songs

The singer/songwriter released his first album, For You (1978), when he was only 19 years old and quickly became recognized for his high-pitched shrieks and distinct falsetto. After his debut album, Prince went on to release 38 more albums during his lifetime. Each album brilliantly reinvented pop music in its relationship with R&B, funk, soul, and rock music. Prince was also a multi-instrumentalist and often played the majority of the instruments on his records.

The list of awards and accolades given to The Artist is incredibly extensive and includes seven Grammy Awards. Today, a countless number of music legends—from Beyoncé to Bono—have cited Prince as a major influence on their own music.
