The music he wrote with Wendy and Lisa was some of the most original and prolific pop-rock that has ever been recorded.
When he moved away from the group mentality and became more of a solo artist, I thought his music was a little too self-indulgent, but he was still a master at crafting songs and he definitely wrote some gems along the way.
This is just no good. RIP.

Actually, from what I understand, the only instrument he didn't play was the tuba... he had no desire.
I've seen him a few times and my favorite was at Paisley Park Studios (where he passed). Very small auditorium, small stage and I was front row... close enough touch him. I knew he was a small guy, but damn! The experience was epic to say the least.
He influenced a generation, started careers for more performers than most know (ie. Carmen Electra) and his legacy will live on for a very long time.
He was a genius, no doubt, and will be missed.
