Music Box: The Artist Formerly Known as the Artist Formerly Known as Prince

Prince is coming to a Target near you. March 29, the pop funk superstar is releasing a three-disc set exclusively though Target. The set will include two all-new albums by his royal funkiness, "LOtUSFLOW3R and "MPLSoUND." The third is a collection by his new protégée, Bria Valente. Get this; the entire three-disc set will retail for a mere $11.98.


This is the master of Minneapolis live in Las Vegas, performing an odd and
screechy, but perversely compelling cover of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love." Yeah, you read that right. Prince does Robert Plant.



Here, the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra gets busy on "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man," from the Sign o' the Times album. If you don't smile watching this clip, up your Zoloft. Anyone who can't appreciate a good ukulele jam, just doesn't know music.
