Three years ago, we lost a musical genius … Prince Rogers Nelson, known to his legion of fans world-wide as simply Prince. His career spanned four decades before untimely passing on April 21, 2016. But, he left a timeless catalog of music for all of us to remember him buy. Prince was known for his eclectic work, flamboyant stage presence, extravagant fashion sense and use of makeup, and wide vocal range. And, Paisely Park tribute to Prince reads: We are thankful for the profound artistic and cultural legacy #Prince left behind and will continue to protect, promote, and preserve a life well lived. #Prince4Ever

I'm still finding it very hard to believe that you're gone. Your way of words and your level of intelligence has touched my soul in ways I feel I will never be able to explain to anyone. I miss you far beyond what words can explain. I love you, thank you for everything. #Prince pic.twitter.com/uirGMs1NjA
