Prince is one of those artists that I have really mixed feelings about.

On one hand, he was obviously incredibly talented and his contributions to the arts are far-reaching and worthy of a good deal of respect. I would never question or deny that.

On the other hand, he was absolutely awful to work for in the live setting. There would be times where people were literally lined up at the venue - A-list, best-in-the-business people - because he'd fire them so quickly that they had to have backups on hand. I've worked with plenty of hotheads and people who demand the best, but generally speaking there's usually also some degree of a cool down period and managed expectations (like someone screaming "you're fired" in the middle of a show because something out of their control went wrong, and people being able to talk the artist down by the next city).

And now, a couple tracks that I feel get overlooked all too often.
