Over Prince & The Revolution
Genre
R&B/Soul
In the early 2000s, the filmmaker Kevin Smith contacted Prince to see if he could use one of Princeâs songs in one of his movies. Prince responded by asking Smith to make a documentary about him. Smith said sure, but the project never got off the ground. When Smith tried to pull out, one of Princeâs assistants explained to him that it wasnât that simple. 'Why not?' Smith asked. After all, he wasnât even a documentarian; he made features. 'I get it,' the assistant saidâbut Prince doesnât understand reality like the rest of do. Prince⊠Prince calls you at three in the morning to ask if he can get a camel. He isnât doing it to be a jerk. But he does want the camel. Itâs a funny story, of course. But it also illustrates the strength and commitment of Princeâs vision. The camel is an extreme example. But imagine you told him there was no way to mix new wave and psychedelia with funk and R&B. Or that a man couldnât explore androgyny without risking his sex appeal. Imagine, really, telling Prince there were any conventional boundaries he had to respectâand then imagine how much groundbreaking art wouldâve been lost if heâd listened.
Born Prince Rogers Nelson in 1958, he trained in ballet as a teenager, starting his music career just out of high school. By 24, heâd already released a body of work (including Dirty Mind, Controversy, and 1999) that helped shape nearly every style of â80s pop music, Black and white; by 30, he was both a midnight-movie cult hero (Purple Rain) and a Beatles-level visionary (Sign oâ the Times). To read about his Paisley Park compound is to get a glimpse of a world of almost perpetual creativityâbetween his debut in 1978 and his death in 2016, there was barely a year he didnât put out an album, and there were several years during which he put out two. He was one of pop musicâs true universals, and yet always distinctly Black. And to listen to him mix sexual ecstasy with spiritual transcendence (âWhen Doves Cry,â âIf I Was Your Girlfriendâ) not only finished the mission Little Richard started, it delivered on rock ân' rollâs promise that you could find heaven here on earth if you were willing to shake for it.
