Prince the 'electrifying performer' dies

Music legend Prince has died unexpectedly. He was 57. The flamboyant musician sprang to fame in the late seventies and early eighties with hits such as 'I Wanna Be Your Lover' and 'Little Red Corvette'. The singer and songwriter was widely regarded as one of the most inventive and imaginative musicians of his era, selling more than a hundred million records. We heard personal memories from Newsday presenter Bola Mosuro, Oscar-winning director Steve McQueen, Prince's sound engineer Susan Rogers, and soul singer Mica Paris.
