‘When Doves Cry’ benefit to unite artists for Prince’s 62nd birthday
Color of Change, an organization that fights injustice against blacks.Of course, Prince — an artist who fought against many types of injustices — was born in Minneapolis, where George Floyd died while in police custody, and remained based in the area until his 2016 death. And just as much as he sang about sex and his own kind of spirituality, he rocked his social consciousness on songs such as “Sign o’ the Times,” “America” and the early classic “Uptown.”Among the artists who will carry on his revolutionary spirit through live performances will be Chris Rob, YahZarah, Maya Sharpe, Koku Gonza and Phony.
