NAACP Honors Prince

NAACP honors Prince


NEW YORK (AP) -- Prince will be honored with the 2005 NAACP Vanguard Award, given to those who have worked to increase understanding and awareness of racial and social issues.

Previous honorees are film director Steven Spielberg and movie producer Stanley Kramer. The award will be presented to the "Purple Rain" singer during the 36th annual NAACP Image Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on March 19. The show will be broadcast March 25 on Fox television.

"During the '80s, Prince emerged as the musical prophet of the era, releasing a series of albums that both define and captured the spirit of the times," the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said in a statement. "His genre-bending songs sent shock waves through the music industry that still reverberate today."

Earlier this month, Prince won two Grammy Awards -- for best male R&B vocal performance for "Call My Name," a single from his most recent album, "Musicology," and best traditional R&B vocal performance for "Musicology."

Prince has more talent in his little finger than Michael has in his whole fist stuck up an eight-year-old's butt.

You are correct sir, Prince is a true showman, his guitar playing seems to always go unoticed, his song writing is incredible as was his total performance. He always wrote about the taboo's of society and made some of the most memeorable songs based on that approach. I wonder how many songs were ever written and never released, based upon his disdain for repitition. Plus all the songs he wrote for others, must have been numerous.
