I learned English with some of his songs (which probably explains a lot), so bummed by the news.

Oh god, when Doves Cry is not only a fave but also one I used for my Evil!Sammy piece last year and I just CAN'T!!! *cries* I am so sick of loosing people who yes, I may never have met them, but they are STILL a huge part of my heart and my life!!

Prince was one of those artists whose stuff I listened to a lot as a teenager, working to translate the lyrics (loved when they were printed conveniently in the cassette sleeve!)

And yeah, BBC had an article about this yesterday: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36108133

Sad news - but we realised last night that we didn't know his work at all. We'd heard of him, of course, but the height of his fame must have come at just the wrong time for us. I will listen to the songs you've linked!

I was pretty obsessed with his 90s stuff as a teenager, and then went back and got a lot of the 80s stuff too. Problem is that he was famous for not allowing his work on any music streaming sites so unless you own it, it's hard to find more than those three on youtube even.
