Prince: A Life in Music

At the dawn of the eighties, small crowds of concertgoers gathered to catch a new sensation named Prince. They showed up expecting a recast of Michael Jackson, but with more chest hair. They got something altogether different.

Framed around sixty-two songs that represent the chapters of his career, this retrospective traces the life and legacy of a pioneering virtuoso. Youâ€™ll follow the full arc of Princeâ€™s meteoric rise and reign, including:

â€¢ The arrival of a wunderkind, playing guitar on the 1975 track â€œGamesâ€â€”his earliest released performance
â€¢ The soaring heights of â€œPurple Rainâ€ in 1984
â€¢ The anguish captured in â€œComebackâ€ following the death of his son in 1996
â€¢ His popular resurgence, applying some â€œMusicologyâ€ in 2004
â€¢ His last concert performance, featuring the sublime â€œBlack Museâ€ off his final album

Along the way, youâ€™ll rediscover the depth of his genius and the breadth of his impact. Youâ€™ll gain new insight into his heroic spirit, the methods to his madness, and the story in his songs.

Celebrate Princeâ€™s remarkable life the way it should be celebrated: through his music.

All proceeds from this book will be donated to the Harlem Childrenâ€™s Zone, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending poverty in Central Harlem.
