Sam Stone
In 1971, Prine released the single, "Sam Stone," from his debut self-titled album. If anyone wants to remember Prine in his prime days, this is the one song they should listen to.

Another fan-favorite from 1971 was "Angel from Montgomery." This song of dreams and hope was another hit. Prine performed it back in October 2018 for the "Austin City Limits" show.
Souvenirs
Prine's collection wasn't without its share of musical romantic ballads. In 1972, he released the song called "Souvenirs." The upbeat tune is best performed with a guitar in hand, which Prine did back in 2016.

Storm Windows
To start the '80s, Prine released another top track, "Storm Windows." In it, he talks about staying away from the cold. "Don't let your baby down," goes the chorus.
Summer's End
Prine took a break from making music, only to come back in 2018 with new songs. Among them was the hit, "Summer's End," which spoke about coming home.

Tour postponement
Last July, the singer and songwriter experienced a setback when he had to reschedule tour dates to have surgery. He was reportedly at a high risk of stroke.
In total, eight dates were affected. What was important, though, was that the star could later return to living his life doing what he loves. We send condolences out to his family.
