If he would not have died due to unintended overdose fentanyl in 2016, today Prince would have celebrated his 65th birthday. Just had a look at his oeuvre with Natasja, and boy o boy, did guy has written a lot of music.
A lot of songs we did not even know, and apparently they found a whole lot of unrealesd songs in his vaults as well. Well anyway, his would have been birthday seemed to me like a good moment to share my favorite Prince songs.
10. Get Off
9. Let’s Go Crazy
8. I Would Die 4 You
7. 1999
On NYE me and a couple of friends worked at a party in Amsterdam. And although it was a house party, off course this song was played as we entered 1999. Just noticed Tiesto also played at this party.
6. Alphabet Street
5. When Doves Cry
4. Nothing Compares 2 You
I remember Prince doing this song at the concert in Rotterdam in June 1990. Freaking 33 years ago. The first ‘big’ concert I went to.
3. Gold
2. Purple Rain
So much emotion in this one.
1. Sign O’ The Times
That bassline!
Bonus track: 7
Have to admit I hardly new this one, but since it is one of Natasja’s favorites, I’m adding it as a bonus.
