Prince (born Prince Nelson) is a triumph of a human being. How many people have their own symbol universally recognized as another form of their name? Prince dabbled in a number of musical genres, though many widely consider him to be a pop singer above all else. A delicate yet vulnerable persona enabled him to garner quite the following. Prince was sublime when it came to playing an array of different instruments (particularly the guitar). The multi-time Grammy winner is one of the most prolific artists — regardless of style — in recent memory.
