In 1980, Prince released the album "Dirty Mind", which contained sexually explicit material, including the title song, "Head", and the song "Sister", and was described by Stephen Thomas Erlewine as a "stunning, audacious amalgam of funk, new wave, R&B, and pop, fueled by grinningly salacious sex and the desire to shock." Recorded in Prince's own studio, this album was certified gold, and the single "Uptown" reached No. 5 on the "Billboard" Dance chart and No. 5 on the Hot Soul Singles chart. Prince was also the opening act for Rick James' 1980 "Fire It Up" tour.
