As stated in the subject line, I am curious in knowing the
origin of "Prince".  Did anyone hear of this "musician"
before last year (or whenever "Purple Rain" came out)?
I really do not enjoy his music, but I have nothing particular
against it either (no flames please).  I am just wondering
how "Prince" made it so big, so fast, and if "Prince" had
a real music life before the hit.  If so, what was it?

Enjoy,
