But Prince spent many years fighting Warner Music over the rights to his catalog. He created music for himself once he got from underneath that situation. He didn't know he is was going to die at that point.

Warner execs at one point told him to stop making so much music because it was a record pace and they didn't like that he was doing all of that. It was about controlling the artist.

Prince was a musical genius and his talent had to shine somewhere, even if was for himself and a few close fans and friends. He truly was motivated by music and not so much fame, even though it benefited him in many ways.

To this day, I don't think between David Bowie and Prince we will have that kind of talent in this lifetime. Sure there are talented people, then there are Renaissance artists. That is what Bowie and Prince were..music meets art.
