Also, I'm curious about why you associate a pop sound to him. His songs don't really seem like pop music to me. They may have become popular, but I'm struggling to think of one that qualifies based on my understanding of pop music--maybe Kiss? Bowie in the 80s fits the same bill. Just because the songs become wildly popular, doesn't make them pop music.
Dude could hold a room. These are fun to watch:

Kiss, 1999, Doves Cry, Purple Rain. All heavily produced, slick, pop sounds.
Bowie goes in and out of pop, his interest in it waxes and wanes, but I would agree that he has some very pop music along the way.
I've heard more prince in the last few days than I had in 20 years; I try to learn a bit at times like this, because ultimately there something to like in almost all music, but he is an artist that never caught me in the past, so thanks for sharing these.
