"I didn't want to do a double album, but I just kept writing... I always compare songwriting to a girl walking in the door. You don't know what she's going to look like, but all of a sudden she's there." Prince, 1982
Considered one of the most iconic andinfluential double albums in rock history, Prince's 1999 was released at a major turning point in the artist's career. After years of being relegated to the R&B charts,he experienced his first true crossover moment with the mega-hits "Little RedCorvette," "1999," and "Delirious," shattering barriers with his revolutionary blend ofrock, funk, R&B and new wave pop, and making history by being one of the firstblack artists to have their videos in heavy rotation on MTV. Musically, 1999 achieved something rare in pop music: It capitalized on a very specific mood from the time it was created, yet the resulting sound is timeless, and its appeal has endured for decades.

1999 is one of my favorite albums/cd...When I was in High School... 86 Grad, my girlfriend at the time MADE me listen to Prince...I wasn't interested in listening to him at the time...I was and still am an old school Headbanger...but when she played the album Purple Rain I was hooked...his sound and lyrics were totally different from other Pop musicians which I never liked...but HIS style got to me....and I've been a fan since...This album 1999 I like because it has some GREAT music on it...Little Red Corvette is FANTASTIC...A radio hit for the longest time...listening to this album brings back many memories for me at the time it came out and I can sit back...listen to it and just think about what I was doing at a particular time while listening to certain songs on it...I Love this album and I'm happy to have it back in my collection.
