Prince

In the vibrant year of 1986, Prince was riding high on the success of his critically acclaimed album "Parade," which featured the iconic soundtrack for "Under the Cherry Moon." Released earlier that year, it showcased Prince's genre-defying sound, blending rock, pop, and funk. The live performance of "Manic Monday" with The Bangles at The Palace in Hollywood was not just a mere collaboration; it highlighted Prince's influence as a prolific songwriter, having penned the song for the band. During this period, he was known for his dynamic stage presence and creative synergy with other artists. Notably, Wendy Melvoin, often seen as a key collaborator, joins him on guitar, adding a magical touch to the performance. It's a snapshot of a remarkable point in his career, where collaboration and musical experimentation reigned supreme.
