Friday Feature: Prince on Film

The Second Disc reader Robert Altman was predicting the future when he suggested a week devoted to Prince a few days ago. Prince – one of the most polarizing and intriguing figures to ever saunter onto the pop music scene – deserves reams (or gigabytes, in this case) written about his music and its impact, and The Second Disc promises to deliver in that regard. From this Friday to next Friday – going right through Prince’s 52nd birthday on Monday – TSD will present a few features on Prince’s music, impact and relative lack of catalogue presence.

Today, it makes sense to start with a Friday Feature, devoted to the three films Prince starred in and the soundtracks they spawned. Hit the jump to start lookin’ for the purple banana ’til they put U in the truck.
