>> CATHY: WE'VE REACHED THE END OF ANOTHER HOUR TOGETHER, BUT WE STILL HAVE TIME TO ANSWER THE INDEX FILE QUESTION FROM LAST TIME.

WE ASKED ABOUT A SUPERSTAR MINNESOTAN - NOT SEEN HERE - WHOSE UNUSUAL WORK TOURED THE COUNTRY IN 1993.

THE TOUR BROKE INDUSTRY NORMS AND LED AN INDUSTRY INSIDER TO ANOINT THIS MINNESOTAN “A MODERN MOZART.” WE WANTED TO KNOW WHO THE MINNESOTAN WAS AND WHY HE OR SHE WAS COMPARED TO MOZART.

NOT MANY OF YOU TACKLED THIS QUESTION.

MAYBE THE EXTREME COLD HAD YOU ALL HIBERNATING?

WE START- AS ALWAYS- WITH THE WRONG ANSWERS.

>> Cathy: OH, JEFF, YOU ARE A FUNNY ONE, NOT EVEN CLOSE, THOUGH, JEFF.

BUT WE LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM.

LORIE LINE WASN'T THE RIGHT ANSWER EITHER.

IN FACT, WE HAD JUST ONE VIEWER CALL IN WITH THE CORRECT ANSWER THIS WEEK.

DONOVAN, THE STAGE IS YOURS.

>> Cathy: DONOVAN, WELL DONE.

YES, PRINCE IS THE ANSWER.

HIS "BILLBOARDS" ROCK BALLET PREMIERED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA ON JANUARY 27, 1993.

THERE'S A NICE SHOT OF A CURTAIN CALL AFTER ONE OF THE IOWA PERFORMANCES.

BY THE WAY, THE RECLUSIVE PRINCE WAS NOT IN ATTENDANCE FOR THE PREMIERE.

THE JOFFREY BALLET PERFORMED "BILLBOARDS" FROM COAST TO COAST FOR MUCH OF THE YEAR.

A SUMMERTIME REVIEW IN THE LA TIMES NOTED THAT "BILLBOARDS" HAD BECOME AS POPULAR AS THE TROUPE'S ANNUAL NUTCRACKER PERFORMANCES.

WOW.

IN THAT SAME REVIEW, L.A.

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR PETER SELLARS CALLED PRINCE "A MODERN MOZART AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FIGURES IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC."

WE HAVE JUST ENOUGH TIME FOR SHOW-ENDING MUSIC OF ANOTHER SORT.

THIS WEEK BACK IN 2020 WE PREVIEWED AN UPCOMING HOW OF THE SOUNDS OF GOSPEL PERFORMANCE.

TAKE A LISTEN.

WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
