I was shocked, as I imagine you were, by the death of Prince. An amazing guitarist, singer, songwriter, performer, and collaborator. His artistic vision and exploration will be sorely missed. Here we honor him, so sad to say posthumously, by sharing his first RIAA certified gold LP. Released in October 1979, and certified gold on 2/15/80. It reached #22 on the Billboard charts and now we know signaled the start of an amazing career… 
RIP Prince…
