Annual version match under review
The selected recording has release evidence, but its version has not been matched to the retained annual entry. It is omitted from Beyond the yearly lists until this match is resolved.
The original 1994 single is selected. The retained annual title gives no edition; the estate establishes the single/1995 album sequence but does not establish interchangeable audio. Keep the annual candidate provisional.

About Prince
Prince was a singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist whose work connected funk, rock, soul, pop and jazz. His 1978 debut, For You, introduced a largely self-contained studio approach, while later records also drew on substantial band collaboration. Purple Rain placed the Revolution at the center of his film and recording career; Diamonds and Pearls introduced the New Power Generation on record alongside him. He continued developing different sounds and release methods through albums including Emancipation, Musicology and ART OFFICIAL AGE.
