performances in current years and they're fantastic and i have no problems with what beyonce and bruno marsthere's so much going on that sometimes i miss the true musicianship. i remember the warner brothers fight where prince was fighting so hard for his individual, his ownership rights over his music. i think he represented such liberation for artists, i will have so much respect for that. >> can i bring kimmy back in here. he dropped his first album when he was 18 years old. >> he was a young record producer. >> almost 40 years he was playing. >> he was the youngest record producer that had had ever produced a full album at warner brothers, that was his record "for you." he played all of the instruments on it completely self-taught. there weren't a ton of hits. he didn't have his fame until two years later with "i want to be your lover." that's the first song, you say, i remember that song. and "1999" and "little red corvette" and "delirious" and "purple rain." >> and he collaborated with just about everyone. he played with everyone from the rolling stones to lenny kravitz. >> and everyb

i think bruno mars is a great example. he brought them on stage. him. he would have a nile rogers performing with him because he understood in order to be excellent, you have to surround yourself with excellence. i think that's a lesson that a lot of the younger artists would take a page from his book. it's important to know, to understand what it takes to really know your craft, to really build a career, to build a legacy. i think that he was able to do all of that even if 57 years, which is such a short time. >> it's a short time. for a whole generation of us, it does feel like an era has passed. these artists that are so great, it's a bit frightening to see that going away. >> it is. because, again, it's an anomaly to be that type of artist today. when you look at the whitney's and michael and what they brought to music, we went on a journey with them. it wasn't just about their music, it was about everything around them. the orbit of influence around them. my favorite prince story is when i represented ananda lewis, when that show went away, he

jimmy jam and terry lewis, janet jackson, bruno mars, justin timber lake, beyonce, these are some of the many artists who were influenced by that sound. but that sound didn't just influence artists. it influenced everyone who heard it. prince's music touched our hearts, opened our minds and made us want to dance. that's his legacy, and that's what we'll always remember. prince made purple rain a household name. like most minnesotans, i remember the first time listening to that album. it was, as his band then was called, request a revolution. it changed music forever and is considered among the best in music history. two of the songs on that album, when doves cry, which is especially notable because he plays all of the instruments in the song, and "let's go crazy" rose to the top of the charts. "let's go crazy" includes a lesson important to remember on days like today. there's a world waiting for us after this life, prince saying, a world of never-ending happiness where you can always see the sunday -- see the sun day or night. i know that today all of us hope that prince is standing
