      Agreed. I’ve done some deep dives of his lyrics of songs I somehow missed. On paper, the lyrics didn’t really make sense or was just OK. When I saw the video and/or heard the music of certain songs, I was blown away!! He had the ability to create like a scientist in a lab. All the ingredients with the secret sauce of his presence and performance, was just unlike anyone else. Weird that several people just did not understand “If I Was Your Girlfriend” though.

Ending his last performance with NO BAND -Just his piano and Mic Tour on March 4, 2016 -5 weeks before he passed on! I cried for 2 weeks straight and still tear up to his Purple Rain song! His last gift to us was at the Oakland, Ca Oracle Area Sec 106, row L seats 10 & 11. The clarity of his voice and piano was truly amazing, no interruptions on a band just him! What a BEAUTIFUL Gift! It was perfection! My husband and will never ever forget those performances!
