{"title":"Prince","description":"\u003cp\u003ePrince arrived on the scene in the late Seventies, and it didn't take long for him to upend the music world with his startling music and arresting demeanor. He rewrote the rulebook, forging a synthesis of black funk and white rock that served as a blueprint for cutting-edge music in the Eighties. Prince made dance music that rocked and rock music that had a bristling, funky backbone. From the beginning Prince and his music were androgynous, sly, sexy and provocative. His colorful image and revolutionary music made Prince a figure comparable in paradigm-shifting impact to Little Richard, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix and George Clinton. While 1999, Purple Rain and Sign 'O' the Times remain Prince's best-known albums, the artist's deep discography is full of funky treasure.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pop-life-hello","title":"Pop Life\/ Hello","description":"Credited to Prince and the Revolution.
