Requests:  0 Summary:  Revealing how he continually subverted cultural expectations, I Wonder U examines the entirety of Prince's diverse career as a singer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, record label mogul, movie star, and director. It shows how, by blending elements of R&B, rock, and new wave into an extremely videogenic package, Prince was able to overcome the color barrier that kept black artists off of MTV. Yet even at his greatest crossover success, he still worked hard to retain his credibility among black music fans. In this way, Adilifu Nama suggests, Prince was able to assert a distinctly black political sensibility while still being perceived as a unique musical genius whose appeal transcended racial boundaries.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 781.66092 Prince Na Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 781.66092 Na Checked In Add Copy to MyList
