Prince

In the live recording from May 29, 1998, at Rockefeller Center Plaza, Prince was riding the wave of his post-1996 resurgence after releasing the album "Emancipation." This ambitious triple album marked a pivotal moment in his career, showcasing his artistic freedom and raw talent after years of conflict with his record label. At this concert, he not only performed his iconic hits but shared the stage with legends like Chaka Khan and Larry Graham, invigorating the crowd with his engaging stage presence. Interestingly, this collaboration reflected Prince's deep-rooted connections in the music world and his reverence for those who influenced him. The performance was part of the Today Show's Summer Concert Series, giving Prince a broad platform to reintroduce his vibrant creativity to both longtime fans and a new audience.
