of popular music more distinctly,or touched quite so many people
with their talent.As one of the most gifted andprolifi c musicians of our time,
PRINCE DID IT ALL.FUNK.R&B.
ROCK AND ROLL.He was a virtuoso instrumentalist,
a brilliant bandleader,and an electrifying performer.”
—President Barack Obama, April 21, 2016
