It was Raspberry Beret. I was 4 years old. Yes, 4. I remember that I instantly loved it. "Mommy, who is that singing?" Seems weird but it's true. More than a "once in a lifetime" artist... Just a ONCE IN FOREVER ARTIST. I'm still in shock as I write this and I feel this overwhelming grief. But, we should all turn away from that and HONOR this musician that changed all of our lives, our perspectives, our feeling, our whole being. From another planet? Probably. Royalty, for sure. Us worthy..? Laughable. They say don't meet your idols... That they let you down. But, some of my greatest, funniest (yes, he was hilarious), and most prolific encounters and conversations about music came from the moments that I spent with him. It would be silly to say that he has inspired our music... It's beyond that. He's somewhere within every song I've ever written. I am sad, but I will smile when I think of every second that I had the fortune of being in his company. We have lost our greatest living musician. But his music will never die. Prince, NOTHING COMPARES... #RIPPrince

I am numb!!! I remember hooking school all day to score tickets to the Purple Rain tour. The line was wrapped around the Capital Center in Maryland. After 8 hours or more and after he graciously added shows so that everyone could get a ticket, WE FINALLY GOT OUR TICKETS. I felt like I scored a golden ticket to the Willie Wonker chocolate factory. So me and best friend went I colored my hair purple because I loved him that much!!! Life is so short. Who knew that his concert I went to last week would be his last. You never know. Hold your loved ones close. Nothing should be taken for granted. @prince the best to EVER DO IT!!! #RIPPrince so grateful I got to experience your talent once more before you left this earth. 🙏🏾😞💋
