With 39 solo studio albums, a prolific songwriting career and numerous film and TV credits, Prince was a cultural force. He was also a mortal human man, one who kept many women in his orbit in his over 35-years-long career — and most were as talented as they were beautiful.

One of his two wives even divulged some downright bizarre details about their marriage. Yet the ten women above share one thing in common: Nope, not dark hair, though that is a recurring trait. It's that they all remember Prince as a dynamic man they were lucky to meet.
