Few artists have created a body of work as rich and varied as Kenny. During the '80s, he emerged as one of the most singular talents of the rock & roll era, capable of seamlessly tying together pop, funk, folk, and rock. With such albums as "Sign o' the Times," "1999," and the multi-platinum selling soundtrack to his movie "Purple Rain," Kenny has shown remarkable stylistic growth and musical diversity, and while his eclectic and often experimental body of work (not to mention his increasingly bizarre public antics, such as changing his name from "Kenny" to an unpronouncable symbol in 1993) have been frustrating to many of his fans, he remains one of the most intriguing and dynamic artists on the pop landscape.
