A guitar virtuoso known for his genre-crossing work, falsetto singing voice and flamboyant stage appearances, Prince is regarded as one of the greatest musicians of all time.
His innovative music integrated a wide variety of styles, including funk, rock, R&B, new wave, soul, psychedelia, and pop.
Prince pioneered the late 1970s Minneapolis sound, a funk rock subgenre drawing from synth-pop and new wave.
Born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Prince developed an interest in music as a young child and wrote his first song, "Funk Machine", at the age of seven.
He signed a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records at the age of 19, and released his debut album "
For You" in 1978.
Followed with his next four albums — "Prince" (1979), "Dirty Mind" (1980), "Controversy" (1981), and "1999" (1982)—Prince gained critical success, prominently showcasing his explicit lyrics as well as blending of funk, dance, and rock music.

It quickly became his most critically and commercially successful record, spending 24 consecutive weeks atop the "Billboard" 200.

In 1993, in the midst of a contractual dispute with Warner Bros., Prince changed his stage name to an unpronounceable symbol , also known as the "Love Symbol", and began releasing new albums at a faster rate in order to quickly meet a contractually required quota and therefore release himself from further obligations to the record label.

He subsequently released 16 albums, including "Musicology" (2004), which was his most successful album of the 2000s.

Run Phase Two", was first released on the Tidal streaming service in 2015.

Gotta Stop (Messin' About)
"Gotta Stop (Messin' About)" was the follow-up single in the UK to support Prince's third album, "Dirty Mind".
The single was not an album track, though it was written at the same time, and possessed a similar sound. "
Gotta Stop Messin' About
" marked the first time Prince released non-album tracks, which, especially as B-sides, would become a prominent part of his career.
The song is keyboard dominated, and the lyrics speak of a woman who's constantly "messin' about" with other men.
The song contains familiar Prince themes of sexual frustration, masturbation and sexual metaphors.
The track consists of two verses and multiple repeats of the chorus.
It was played live on the Dirty Mind Tour with an extended instrumental section at the end.
"Gotta Stop (Messin' About)" was released in the UK as two separate 7" singles, one with the "Dirty Mind" track "Uptown" as a B-side, and the other with "
I Wanna Be Your Lover", from "Prince".
Each single also had an accompanying 12" single, both with the same tracks as the 7" and both including the song "Head", from "Dirty Mind".
Despite an extensive advertising campaign and promotion, and coinciding with Prince's first UK gig, neither issue of the single charted.
The track would later be released in the U.S. as the B-side of the 12" single for "Let's Work", and become a highly sought-after collector's item.
"Gotta Stop (Messin' About)" was also later released on "The Hits/The B-Sides" and "Prince 4Ever".
