"Musical genius" is a term so bandied about and overused it has seemingly lost all meaning in modern times, but Prince truly was and is.
The BBC are currently running a show about one of the most incredible musical performers ever to have walked this earth. I'm a huge fan of Prince and watching this show has shone a spotlight on his true brilliance.
British viewers can watch it on iPlayer; for the international viewers, I can only apologise and post one of my favourite Prince videos to try and make up for it:
Few artists have had so many songs covered (especially without consent), nor can many claim to have the vocal range, the history of breaking ground or the ability to play so many instruments. After all, for Prince's debut album, he not only produced his own music but played all 27 instruments used in the recording process. Twenty seven.
Prince: Musical genius? If he's not, nobody is.
