Prince! On the walls of Sandra Dee's BBQ

The sun was still up...

and we were trying to beat the clock...

so we could get a look at a series of paintings on the walls of Sandra Dee's, a local BBQ restaurant.

On the side of the building near the parking lot is this...

The iconic image of the late Prince Rogers Nelson. The mural depicts Prince during his memorable Super Bowl performance XLI in 2007.  In life, the jacket he wore for that performance was turquiose with an orange shirt underneath.  Next to Prince is the great African American singer and actress Lena Horne (well known for "Stormy Weather").




here is a video of his full performance:

Prince will live on forever.

There are other amazing African American musicians and singers on the wall.



Billie Holiday:

Billie, Marvin Gaye, Sarah Vaughan and Dizzie Gillespie:


Miles Davis:
