MetroGnome, who will be representing Prince that evening, enjoys the fact that the 5-foot, 2-inch singer has a sense of freedom and diversity unlike most artists of his time. Prince and Jackson, personally and musically, may be on opposite sides of the spectrum, but as DJs who spin everything from rock to R&B, MetroGnome and Limelight wanted to give partygoers two artists that represent more than churning out songs.

Halloween night, Prince and MJ lovers can break out their sparkly glove or purple jumpsuit and attend a party in the singers’ honor at D’Vine Wine Bar, 5252 E. The singers’ work appeals to multiple races, ages and both genders which some say makes them the two quintessential artists of all time. Between the two, Prince and Michael Jackson have sold more records and had more top singles than most music artists of their time.
