What do you get when you mash together funk, R&B, rock, new wave, soul, synth-pop, pop, jazz, and hip hop? Human #440. Letters couldn’t even contain this out-of-this-world musician, so he changed his name to the Love Symbol. He was a prolific writer, penning thousands of songs under his name (well, whatever you can call a symbol) and numerous pseudonyms. When he died, it’s said that it rained purple in Minneapolis for a whole week.
