Welcome back to the Top 100 80's Dance Hits Coundtown! The title of this countdown has changed from DJ Samsonite to DJ Purple Sneakers, and so we shall see which handle works out for me in the end with the least amount of trademark/copyright issues. I will not be going back to change the titles of previous posts however, for your information. Now for #7 of DJ Purple Sneakers's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown, from 1989, Erotic City, by American singer/song-writer/musician/and legend that we all love and know as Prince. If Michael Jackson was the King of Pop, then Prince was undoubtedly the Prince of Pop.  Prince (born Prince Rogers Nelson, and 53 years old in 2011) has been active on the music scene circa 1976 and originates out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Prince has produced 10 Platinum albums, and 30 Top 40 singles during his career. According to his Wikipedia page, Prince has several hundred unreleased songs in his vault (wow!). To name some of his achievements he won seven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe, and even an Academy Award and in 2004 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As for the song, Erotic City was originally released on the B-side of his 1984 single Let's Go CrazySo there is #7, and we are nearing the Top 5 now, soon to be finished! Stay tuned 80's junkies ;)
