Prince

Prince Rogers Nelson or just Prince is an American born (Jun 7) singer, musician, songwriter, composer, arranger, sound engineer, producer, actor, dancer. Frontman of Prince And The Revolution (from 1984 to 1986). And from 1991 onwards he was Leader of the New Power Generation. In the 1990s, he was arguably best known for some provocative/controversial songs such as US Dance #1 "Get Off" and "Sexy MF". "Controversy" itself was UK Top 5 hit. He spent 2 weeks as US #1 with "Cream" in 1991 and scored his only UK charttopper to date with "Most beautiful girl in the world" in 1994. In 1993, he notably changed his name from Prince to (symbol) (or the Artist formerly known as Prince). As 1999 approached, the song "1999" was re-released and was a UK Dance #1.
