Six years ago yesterday, Prince Rogers Nelson died of an accidental fentanyl overdose at his Paisley Park home.  He was only 57 years old.  His sixth album, Purple Rain was recorded with his backup band the Revolution, and was the soundtrack to his film acting debut of the same name.  Purple Rain spent six months atop the Billboard 200.  Prince won the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score. 

Prince sold over 150 millions records worldwide, ranking him among the best-selling music artist of all time.    Source: Wikipedia

Prince was a huge fan of The Current.  Six years ago on this day The Current played music by Prince most of the day.   Now, if you have the MPR Radio app on your smart phone, you can listen to Purple Current. 

My daughter Kerry was a huge fan and she wrapped her Colorado Blue Spruce in purple streamers on April 21, 2016.
