	Prince put out at least 5 albums before "Purple Rain".  Three
	others that I have are "Dirty Mind", "Controversy", and "1999".
	All these received a very good ratings by many of the music
	critics, which is nice if you like Prince and doesn't mean a
	thing if you don't.  Anyway, he's not an "overnight" success,
	nor is he a "flash-in-the-pan".  He's been known around
	Minneapolis for quite some time as something of a boy-wonder,
	and even if you don't really care for his music, I think he's
	a pretty good singer and plays quite a few instruments quite
	well.
