王子違約遭罰巨款

紐約地方法院的法官9月2日判處Prince要賠將近400萬美元給一家香水公司，這家公司以Prince的形象與音樂開發出一種古龍水，但Prince一直沒有配合當初承諾的促銷推廣。


Prince原名Prince Roger Nelson，1958年出生於明尼蘇達州的Minneapolis，父親是Prince Roger Trio三重唱的領隊，所以替兒子取了Prince Roger這名字，Prince 能唱歌、作曲、玩多種樂器，也擔任唱片製作人，他屬於天才型的音樂人，初中時代即組了Grand Central樂隊，1978年出第一張專輯唱片，後來還在Purple Rain「紫雨」、Under The Cherry Moon、Sign “O” The Times、Graffiti Bridge等幾部電影擔綱演出，他的合唱團叫The Revolution及The New Power Generation，他也培養出Wendy＆Lisa、Shelia E、Apollonia 6與Vanity等1980年代走紅歌手及團体。

Prince是歷年暢銷歌星排行榜第17名的巨星，2004年獲選入搖滾樂名人堂，他一共有5首排行冠軍、3首第2名、3首第3名的歌，其中最有代表性的是1984年獲得5週冠軍的When Doves Cry，這首歌在滾石雜誌歷年最受歡迎的500首歌曲榜獲得第52名。



When Doves Cry

Prince



Dig if u will the picture

Of u and I engaged in a kiss

The sweat of your body covers me

Can u my darling

Can u picture this?



Dream if u can a courtyard

An ocean of violets in bloom

Animals strike curious poses

They feel the heat

The heat between me and u



How can u just leave me standing?

Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)

Maybe I'm just 2 demanding

Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold

Maybe you're just like my mother

She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)

Why do we scream at each other

This is what it sounds like

When doves cry



Touch if u will my stomach

Feel how it trembles inside

You've got the butterflies all tied up

Don't make me chase u

Even doves have pride



How can u just leave me standing?

Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)

Maybe I'm just 2 demanding

Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold

Maybe you're just like my mother

She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)

Why do we scream at each other

This is what it sounds like

When doves cry



How can u just leave me standing?

Alone in a world that's so cold? (A world that's so cold)

Maybe I'm just 2 demanding (Maybe, maybe I'm like my father)

Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold (Ya know he's 2 bold)

Maybe you're just like my mother (Maybe you're just like my mother)

She's never satisfied (She's never, never satisfied)

Why do we scream at each other (Why do we scream, why)

This is what it sounds like



When doves cry

When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)

When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)



Don't Cry (Don't Cry)



When doves cry

When doves cry

When doves cry



When Doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry, doves cry

Don't cry

Darling don't cry

Don't cry

Don't cry

Don't don't cry
