Happy Yesterday Birthday, Prince!

Ah, Prince!  He commands our complete attention, and packs so much talent into such a tiny, compact, dancing machine frame.  I've loved him since I bought his first, self-titled album, in 1979--you know, the one with him naked, his hair long and pressed, riding a white pegasus horse.  Everyone was all abuzz about this new guy who wrote, sang, and played every instrument on his own album.I've danced throughout the decades to I Wanna Be Your Lover, Controversy, Pop Life, 1999, Raspberry Beret, and Musicology. Happy Yesterday Birthday, Prince.  You are a musical genius!  Here is my early favorite, I Wanna Be Your Lover:   http://youtu.be/nhAK_ediox4 Here's a link to the cut, Crystal Ball, that my friend, Jason, told me about--I'm not sure I even remember this--it's very experimental: http://youtu.be/v1gO_kAYAXI Finally, I'm not laughing at Prince, because I never will--I'm laughing with him, in this Dave Chappelle skit:  Prince vs. Charlie Murphy in Basketball.http://youtu.be/OjLG92qXfSg See, Prince excels in everything he does.   Long live, Prince!
