On Thursday, Prince sadly and unexpectedly passed away at the age of 57. Many have paid tribute to his originality and his prolific songwriting; both made him a major influence on the generations of artists to follow him.

This is reflected in Prince’s high social affinity with many artists, including Savage Garden, Judith Hill, Maxwell and Questlove, and he continues to attract other artists’ fans. While there are many reasons to celebrate his life and music, the receptivity of other artists’ fans to the man and his music speaks to his rich legacy.
