Music icon Prince (Prince Rogers Nelson) dead at 57
From his 1978 debut album "For You" to "Purple Rain" getting added to the Grammy Hall of Fame, these are Prince's most iconic moments.
His early albums -- 1979’s "Prince," 1980’s "Dirty Mind" and 1981’s "Controversy" -- built his core fan base while also creating controversial buzz due to their fusion of religious and sexual themes. The 1984 semi-autobiographical rock musical drama film "Purple Rain" –- and its best-selling soundtrack -- vaulted him into the pop stratosphere. The film won the now-defunct Best Original Song Score award at the Oscars and the album was his best-selling one, amassing sales of over 25 million copies. Through his career, Prince won seven Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.ABC News
