With the recent announcement of Prince’s 2012 Australian dates, and the tickets going on sale this morning, my Twitter stream has gone a little silly with comments from those who think that the ‘Purple One’ is just a tad more important than something called ‘One Direction’ (which seems to be mentioned by younger relatives on Facebook)
This, of course, means time for Prince to appear on Music Monday 
Prince (born Prince Rogers Nelson; June 7, 1958) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. Prince has produced ten platinum albums and thirty Top 40 singles during his career. Prince founded his own recording studio and label; writing, self-producing and playing most, or all, of the instruments on his recordings. In addition, Prince has been a “talent promoter” for the careers of Sheila E., Carmen Electra, The Time and Vanity 6, and his songs have been recorded by these artists and others (including Chaka Khan, The Bangles, Sinéad O’Connor, and even Kim Basinger). He also has several hundred unreleased songs in his “vault”.[
