Most unique thing about Prince is that he wrote, performed & recorded a lot of his songs without the input of any other musicians. He would hear a song in his head, and write the lyrics to it. Then he would record the drum track, replay it, record the keyboard over top of the drums, replay it, add guitar, replay it, add vocals, etc, etc. He would build songs from scratch layer by layer all by himself. I once read that he learned to play multiple instruments because his father "grounded" him one summer when he was a teenager. He dad was a lower level musician & had various instruments in the house. He spent that summer teaching himself how to play all of the various instruments & learned more from there. In the 80s, he was only allowed to release one album a year by his record label. He created several cover bands & artists, and would have them re-record songs & re-sing his vocals so that he could release more music under a different name. The guy was really a musical genius on a whole different level. Unfortunately we get further & further away from even caring if a performer wrote the lyrics, signs a song live, or had anything to do with composing or playing the music.
