How Prince Transcended Labels

On his debut album For You released in 1978, when he was 19, it's clear that Prince Rogers Nelson was pushing boundaries. The song "Soft and Wet," the third track on the album, is downright raunchy, so full of double entendre and straight up sexuality it makes some of today's bubble gum love songs seem laughably tame. And that was his debut - 33 minutes of pure, R&B and funk. Cue up that first record and take a listen to the lounge groove of "Crazy You"...
