The death of the iconic artist took the world by surprise, including younger and contemporary artists who were influenced by his vision in music and fashion.
That vision came together in Prince's theatrical and memorable music videos that were once staples of MTV's lineup before it became dominated by reality shows and scripted programming.
So to honor the 57-year-old musician, MTV took a sudden step back in time and began playing nothing but Prince music videos and performances, taking viewers on a throwback tour.
And viewers seemed to flat out love it.
