For You is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Prince. It was released by Warner Bros. Records
on April 7, 1978. All tracks were produced, arranged, composed, and
performed by Prince. Prince started recording in September 1977 at Sound 80 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he had previously made a demo. Friend and producer David Rivkin (later known as David Z) provided advice and engineering assistance.
For You reached No. 163 on the Billboard 200 and No. 21 on the Billboard Soul chart. "Soft and Wet", the album's lead single, became a minor hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 92. However, it became a Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart, peaking at No. 12. In 2016, after Prince's death, the album re-charted on the Billboard 200, reaching No. 138.
Sign o' the Times (often stylized as Sign "☮︎" the Times) is the ninth studio album by American singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Prince. It was first released on March 30, 1987 as a double album by Paisley Park Records and Warner Bros. Records. The album is the follow-up to Parade and is Prince's first solo album following his disbanding of the Revolution. The album's songs were largely recorded during 1986 to 1987 in sessions for releases Prince ultimately aborted: Dream Factory, the pseudonymous Camille, and finally the triple album Crystal Ball. Prince eventually compromised with label executives and shortened the length of the release to a double album.
Many of the drum sounds on Sign o' the Times came from the Linn LM-1 drum machine, and Prince used the Fairlight CMI synthesizer to replace other instruments. Minimal instrumentation is heard on the stripped-down "Sign o’ the Times", the lead single. Four songs contain higher-pitched vocals to represent Prince's alter ego "Camille". The album's music touches on a varied range of styles, including funk, soul, psychedelic pop, electro, and rock.
Though not as commercially successful as Purple Rain, Sign o' the Times was Prince's most acclaimed album, being voted 1987's best album in the Pazz & Jop
critics poll. Included in many lists of the greatest albums of all
time, it has been appraised by many critics as Prince's best album,
ahead of Purple Rain. Writing for The Rolling Stone Album Guide
(2004), Michaelangelo Matos regarded it as "the most complete example
of [Prince's] artistry's breadth, and arguably the finest album of the
1980s". In 2017, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
In France a skinny man died of a big disease with a little name By chance his girlfriend came across a needle and soon she did the same At
home there are seventeen-year-old boys and their idea of fun Is being

Prince Rogers Nelson (Minneapolis, Minnesota, June 7, 1958 – Chanhassen, Minnesota, April 21, 2016) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, record producer and filmmaker.
Prince developed an interest in music as a young child and wrote his
first song at the age of seven. He signed a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records at the age of 17, and released his debut album For You in 1978. His 1979 album Prince went platinum, and his next three records—Dirty Mind (1980), Controversy (1981), and 1999
(1982)—continued his success, showcasing his prominently explicit
lyrics and blending of funk, dance, and rock music. In 1984, he began
referring to his backup band as the Revolution and released Purple Rain,
the soundtrack album to his film debut. It quickly became his most
critically and commercially successful release, spending 24 consecutive
weeks atop the Billboard 200 and selling over 20 million copies worldwide. After releasing the albums Around the World in a Day (1985) and Parade (1986), The Revolution disbanded, and Prince released the double album Sign o' the Times (1987) as a solo artist. He released three more solo albums before debuting The New Power Generation band in 1991.
In 1993, while in a contractual dispute with Warner Bros., he changed
his stage name to an unpronounceable symbol, also known as the "Love
Symbol", and began releasing new albums at a faster rate to remove
himself from contractual obligations. He released five records between
1994 and 1996 before signing with Arista Records
in 1998. In 2000, he began referring to himself as "Prince" again. He
released 16 albums after that, including the platinum-selling Musicology (2004). His final album, Hit n Run Phase Two, was first released on the Tidal streaming service on December 2015. Five months later, at the age of 57, Prince died of an accidental fentanyl overdose at his Paisley Park recording studio and home in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
