"I started vibing with Prince in my impressionable early teen years. He has remained an omnipresent Being in my Life, spanning the course of over FORTY years! I was, and still am, all about everything Prince. My Spirit and personality paralleled his so much that I was drawn into his Magical World to an indescribable degree. Nobody has ever touched or moved me to the extent that he has, and his music has brought me so much Joy. I have been Blessed to have shared the stage with him on numerous occasions (and, once, the mic). When I had the opportunity to actually meet him, it was a dream come true. He was so sweet and humble. That exchange further solidified my forever-bond. The fact that he consistently "did his thAng" and lived his Life as he saw fit, while never taking for granted his faithful "friends" and supporters, definitely influenced me. I was shaped and molded by him in ways that he would never know. To this day, I move about Life unafraid to be unique and bold because of him. "

"His music impact my life I heard of him when I was in the seventh grade with soft and wet and I was a fan every since I am 56 years old now he was like a brother I looked up to musically and spiritually he will always be missed."

"Prince was in every pivotal point in my life..my soul resonated with his"

Dee W.  Stockton. Ca

"His music completely is intertwined into all aspects of my life..My art, Compassion, bringing me closer to God.When I am having a bad day or going thru something his music magically comes on the radio or will be playing in a place I walk into. An otherworldly once on a lifetime multi-talented genius! Behind the early raunchy lyrics, I believe he drew in people who aren't typical religious folk with his early raunchy lyrics and once he had our attention taught us about God, brilliant!"

"Prince was my first love. Prince is everything . I saw Purple Rain 40 times at the movies in 1984.  His voice wraps around me like a warm soft blanket.  His music brings me such pleasure and thank God for the blessing. "

Olivia C.  Charleston, SC

"Prince has literally been the soundtrack of my life.I have been to 12 of his concerts.I met him in person back in 1984.He was soft spoken,kind and most of all, genuine.Any situation I found myself in throughout my life,I looked to Prince for a song,comfort, and peace.I am devastated by his death like someone who left way before his time.I have to say when I heard the news of his death.My heart sunk and my mind was racing to this has foul play written all over it.This was my GUT feeling.and I know in my heart,it was not his time to be called home."

Karen H.  New Port Richey, Florida

"Words cannot describe how his music impacted me and my life." 

Sherry D.  Stratford Connecticut 

"Prince means everything to me. Even today he's ever on my mind. He was a genius, a talented musician, unique. Never will there be another like him. Exceptional. A kind and compassionate person not deserving to die as he did. He should still be here with us. It hurts as though he was taken out yesterday. I will be happy when there's justice for his death. He lives through his music, but I'm missing him so much.💜💜💜 A big void has been left in this world without Prince💜💜  "

"Prince's music and persona had such a huge impact on my life. From the age of 9 I have been a fam of Prince. There is just an inexplicable connection that I have with him. Reading interviews and books of his early career and his take on certain issues helped to shape me as a person. If Prince said it wasn't cool to do something it wasn't cool. He stood for positivity and love of all kinds. I loved that about Prince. "

"Briefly?  This man was with me during every stage of my life!  Before I knew his essence of life his energy enveloped me.  He has enveloped me at every life stage before I even knew who he really was.  It was 1982 when I first heard Controversy album, but didn't yet know who he was, just really dug the music.  Then 1999 came out and I was floored.  Bought the album and was listening to it on the down low so my mom wouldn't know the lyrics.  After that I took a trek back to Dirty Mind and really knew I couldn't let my mom find out what I was listening to.  1984 Purple Rain made him more mainstream but also touched my heart and defined my high school experience.  From that point on, anything I could find I had to have and listen to.  All the amazing changes and flips and flops.. I didn't care if it was "popular".. he had me and my soul so I took that trek with him!  His passing devastated me but I am still  huge fan and find something new every time I listen to each album.
