00:00two facts you probably didn't know about Prince. As a young man, he didn't always have a lot of
00:05confidence in himself. Prince was bold, visionary, swaggering, genre-defying, but shy isn't one of
00:12those words. Prince's spine-tingling screams make it hard to believe the pop icon was anything other
00:18than born to perform. It wasn't always like that. In order to record his first solo track, Prince
00:25reportedly lay on the floor under a blanket with the lights off under a blanket because he had been
00:29bullied at school. No matter what he did, he never switched off. Prince's prolific creativity is
00:35legendary. His recording sessions regularly lasted 15 to 24 hours, he reportedly slept four hours a
00:42night. In the middle of the night, he would often buzz his engineers for them to come to the studio
00:47with pagers. Burnout caused every engineer Prince worked with to leave.
