"Breakdown" - "I used to walk the house with the biggest pool," Prince sings on this ballad. "Reminiscing now, I just feel like a fool." The music legend — who's also a Jehovah's Witness — gets retrospective and spiritual as he reflects over the decadence of his former life and gives thanks to a higher power for humbling him back to normalcy. (Photo: Berner/Dalle/Landov)Prince x Warner Bros. Records - The "Purple One" turned green when he signed a $100 million deal with Warner Bros. Records in 1992. Prince became the highest paid pop artist in the industry, receiving $10 million per album, in addition to becoming an executive of two of his own labels with the deal.(Photo: Christopher Polk/Getty Images for Clear Channel)
