(Finished June 22nd, 2026) Part 2 of Happy Heavenly Birthday Prince Rogers Nelson

Hello,

Sixty-eight years ago Prince came roaring into the world. I'm sure he had a guitar in his hand, which must have made it uncomfortable for his Mom. Prince peaked with one of the greatest CDs of all-time, the timeless "Purple Rain". Although that was his peak- every song on that CD is great- his career was full of many other great songs. 

Since "Purple Rain" is so timeless I won't be including any songs from that CD here. This blog is 22 of Prince's greatest hits not on "Purple Rain". 

Cyndi Lauper also recorded a cover of this song, see below. 19) "When You Were Mine":

22) "Shockadelica":


23) "Erotic City (Make Love, Not War)" (Extended version):

One of his best songs, especially one of his best late career songs. 26) "Rock and Roll Love Affair":
