New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Louella Productions) Sign 'O' The Times is considered one of Prince's most critically acclaimed—and best—albums.

To commemorate the legacy of Prince and his electric double album and film, we are inviting fans and the public to join us for a beautiful night of thought, music and nostalgia. The event is being sponsored by NYU Tandon School of Engineering, Louella Productions, soulhead.com and New Power New York (NPNY).
