He blended rock, funk, pop, R&B and soul in ways that were uniquely his own. For Minnesotans, he was also one of our own — an artist who helped put the state on the global music map, and whose influence remains as powerful today as it was during his lifetime. Prince’s legacy will be celebrated with a five-day tribute starting June 3 and including a block party and singalong in downtown Minneapolis. MPR News host Angela Davis talks to someone who knew Prince well — his attorney, business advisor and friend. They discuss what’s planned for the celebration, Prince’s impact on music and culture and some of the unforgettable songs that continue to inspire. Guest: L. Londell McMillan is a business manager, producer and entertainment attorney. He was Prince’s lawyer, manager and friend. He is a co-manager of Prince’s estate and is also the founder and chair of The NorthStar Group which owns and operates The Source magazine.","meta_description":"For millions of fans around the world, Prince was a musical innovator.
