We lost an icon today. Prince passed away at his home. I first became aware of him when I saw Purple Rain on a date back in the wild and woolly 80s. Before seeing the film, I never heard of him, but after seeing that film, I needed to get the soundtrack, immediately! His songs, Purple Rain and Little Red Corvette, are among my favorites to this day.
The video above shows Prince playing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony. He does a mad guitar riff starting around 3:30, and it shows that he wasn't just a great singer and songwriter, but that he was a badass on the guitar, as well. RIP, Prince. You will be sorely missed.
