mentioned sam cook, you made me think about sam cook, you made me think about little richard, jimi hendrixown. and if you look at -- i said last night, he's all of that rolled into one and prince, unique in that respect. a lot of people had -- a lot of people influenced him, but he also influenced a lot of people. talk to me about those people who he sort of -- i think he brought them into the present, even though they already had a present. i think he brought many people into the presence because they had such an influence on him. >> they would talk to us about jimi hendrix played with us and he would talk to us about jimi and want to know different things about jimi. jimi, living at our house at the time. another musician that he knew about was elton john played with us when we were -- when we were in england. and so we would talk about all those -- just about everything and just -- and everybody. yeah. >> yeah. what do you think his greatest hit was? >> "purple rain."

"prince sings exclusively in a falsetto which he pushes at times to an eerie cater wahling intensity. this style is ideally suited to the theatrical lasciviousness that is tral to prince's act. on stage prince displays an unbridled street ear rot simple wearing black bikini briefs, fringed high heel boots, thick thigh high stockings. hi is sexual license incarnate." i don't even know how steven holden got home from that show that night. if that was the experience that he had in that club. you're sure you can still walk, sir? but actually the way he ends that review is just as important. this is the end of the review.

he was influenced heavily by the god father of soul, the beetles, jimi hendrix. he was famously private, mysterious. his battles with the record industry was well documented. notably in 1993 when he changed his name to that symbol during the dispute with warner brothers. last year he performed with stevie wonder. today president obama calling him quote, one of the most gifted and prolific musicians of our time. as well as a virtuoso instrumentalist and electrifying performer. fans gathering outside paisley park, outside his home there. hugging and it is, we're told, poignantly raining there at paisley mark. a makeshift memorial at that estate. at the apollo, nothing compares to you. the team was reportedly single little red corvette in the clubhouse. he was the face of mtv and carson, my wife and i were talking earlier about, you know, back in the '80s, prince videos on mtv were cause to stop whatever you were doing and watch and sing along and dance along if you could. he will most sorely be missed. what will you miss, sir? >> i don't know where to begin, craig.

and people also compare the guitar and the style to jimi hendrix. and you're right about that.o, the musicianship that he displayed. that's something that you almost have to be a virtuoso to appreciate. and it's one of the things that are lost on people. but you do appreciate the scope of his career and the depth of his music. and song-writing. as you played the clip from the super bowl from 2007, that's the biggest venue you can play. and he made it so intimate and immediate, which is an almost impossible thing to do. >> dana, one of the interesting things about prince was that he never got involved in the l.a. scene. a lot of musicians get fame and they go straight to l.a. and it goes right to their head. >> stayed in minneapolis. >> he seemed so grounded. i was a fan. i don't know a lot about him. i was admiring all that you knew about him. this is what i do remember hearing about him, that he was a very generous mentor to other potentially people who wanted to play music or wanted to write music or wanted to be in the music business, that he was always willing to lend a han
