Prince is clearly a musical icon and will be remembered for all time. However, there is another great contribution that he made that I wanna remind you of and share...his so called proteges. A man as talented as Prince had too many ideas for his mind, body and creative soul to hold. As a result he often combined forces with other talented musicians to create side projects and/or to produce albums of great (and sometimes not so great) music under other names and for other artists. In addition to projects he was directly involved in, Prince opened the doors for a whole slew of artists from Minneapolis to emerge unto the music scene and do their thing. Next week I'm going to share videos and memories of several of these artists. Here's a taste of what's to come.
