I had a friend tell me stories of her father who was a musician in Minneapolis and he would tell her about this weird little kid that would bum rides off of him to the studio and make all this crazy strange music. It was many years later when Purple Rain came out and he figured out who that weird kid was.
This video doesn't show his talent as a composer, but it demonstrates his prowess on the guitar and his showmanship.

This really is a great loss to the music world. He was different, but that is what many times makes a great artist.
