As a child of the 80's in Minnesota of course Roger Nelson (a.k.a. Prince) was a HUGE influence. Everybody had a sighting of him around town -- especially if they looked down (sorry...my warped sense of humor kicking in). Until Prince, nobody even knew black people lived in Minnesota.
I guess we can take lyrics from one of his songs, "Let's Go Crazy" off the Purple Rain LP that were:
All excited
Don't know why
Maybe it's cuz
We all gonna die
When we do
What's it all for
....and REALLY ponder that....I hope he found out what it's all for.
Catch ya later, Roger Nelson. Gods willing you will get an extra 10" in your next incarnation where it counts;)

Prince: a.k.a. Roger Nelson
People with roots in North East Minneapolis know this guy as Roger Nelson. Yes, they are both pictures of the same Roger Nelson. When the Camden Bridge was built it joined mostly central European, caucasian North East (Nord East) and black, African-American North Minneapolis (NoMi). Bless the bridge or curse it? Depends on who you ask.
What happens to black pop stars when they get famous? Why do they always want to turn themselves into white women? Michael Jackson wanted to be a white woman as well. Ooops. I better retract that. Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner is doing the same thing.
