    • “I Wanna Be Your Lover” (1979) A “restrained, carefully crafted funk exercise” is how The Los Angeles Times described Prince’s first hit single in a review of the singer’s L.A.
    • “When You Were Mine” (1980) According to legend, the greatest New Wave song ever written about a bisexual love triangle came to Prince at a Florida hotel room after he’d declined a band Disney World excursion.
    • “Controversy” (1981) The Moral Majority was on the rise in 1981, emboldened by the January inauguration of Ronald Reagan. By November, a funky reaction appeared in the form of “Controversy.”
    • “1999” (1982) When Prince recorded 1999 – the album lead by this single – he would go all day and all night without rest, turning down food since eating would make him sleepy.

    • “Purple Rain” Prince as showstopper. This is the greatest album closer of all time. It’s the perfect song to bring the house down and send the audience out into the street glowing with joy and a sense of togetherness.
    • “Kiss” Prince as your fantasy. When he wanted to be playful, this is what came out of him—another three-minute masterstroke that has been reduced into something syrupy and sweet.
    • “When Doves Cry” Prince as minimalist. Dig if you will a song constructed from the barest of elements, almost demo-like in its sparseness. Feel, if you will, how it still sinks so deep within your person as you get lost in its swirl of surrealist imagery, family psychodrama, and Prince’s cutting vocals.
    • “Nothing Compares 2 U” Prince as broken man. His protégés The Family did alright with this. So did he and the Revolution when they’d play it live. But no one took it to the heights that Sinead O’Connor did.
