Prince, even today, is still underrated. He carried mountains of music on his shoulders, while being an overwhelming rock star persona, and a live genius, and quite an ok human being (goofy and a bit precious at times but well).
After his passing I saw videos of rehearsal, where he would drive sound stage check calmly with people, dropping jazz classics from his pocket and being cool with the crew.
A lot of what he did was so brilliant, for so many years, in so many genre.
ps: he also managed to make rock guitarists drop their jaw at the george harrison celebration, all done unrehearsed (for better surprise effect).
