Prince had an extraordinary run on the charts, particularly through the 80s. He was the second most successful chart artist of the decade (second to Michael Jackson) and the top artist of 1984. There are too many classic hits to mention, but his #1's included "When Doves Cry," "Let's Go Crazy," "Kiss," "Batdance," and "Cream."
There's really no good reason why he suddenly fell out of fashion after his last big hit in 1994, when "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World" topped out at #3. Consider, for example, his underrated 2007 album, "Planet Earth." Filled with goodies like "Guitar," "Resolution," and this one, it should have been a big comeback for the versatile artist.
Prince passed away in 2016 at the age of 57 from accidental drug overdose.
