Prince and the Purple Rain Studio Sessions 

Music created from the 1999 album right through the Purple Rain Era was simply incredible!

As Stevie Wonder called him... The EMPEROR of Music.

Really interesting interview. I enjoy your interviews because you give your interviewees time to expand and what emerges is fascinating. Can't wait to read the book!

TYSM for this video!! Oh, Prince!!

This information I already know because in 1983, my sister and I had the 1999 album and we haven't heard anything from him except the drama with the TIME and we knew about making and filming of this movie called Purple Rain. If you read the credits on the PR album He recorded during the summer of '83. Yeah, Michael Jackson's Thriller was still kicking and that Motown 25 performance kicked in the sales of that album. I was very discouraged by THE TIME breaking up. So, we stuck to watching the "Little Red Corvette" and "1999" videos on "Friday Night Videos" and TBS' "Night Tracks" on TV. We didn't have Cable or MTV yet. Prince's performance on SOLID GOLD that Spring of '83 on Sunday. I remember talking to my friends the next day at school. Mind you, buying and bringing a Prince album at my house was a CRIME ! and My Father didn't like him at all. Seriously, we had to sneak the albums through my sisters window on the side of our house. Also, The magazines, Right On! Black Beat and Rock and Soul, my sister and I grew up with him seriously. Knew everything about him and what Prince was doing. And the late spring and summer of 1984, And I saw the "When Doves Cry" videos. The kids in my class at school was talking the "new video about Prince". We didn't get Cable until that June July 1984 and we had MTV. The premiere of Purple Rain that was shown on MTV. We bought the PR album in July that year. We saw "Purple Rain" 3 times that year. Prince and his entourage and his music played an integral part in our lives, my sister and I as kids.

The vault* is an amazing resource for prince friends. This book should be dope if it's an isolated era using his format from the vault. - hopefully the vault will get fully updated and reprinted soon

'Katina's paper dolls' is a lovely tribute to Vanity.

Whether or not if it was a murder...we lost a artist who inspired my life through many decades...if I had the privilege to know him I would have never left him alone...especially in his darkest hours... RIP Prince....

Where was yall assessment when he was in crisis!!! So many wanna talk now...but where were you!!! I'm a fan I couldn't reach him.............

Just bought the book.

Can hardly wait to read it. As a everlasting "Fam"of Prince,the more I read,the more I understand what a real genius he was.

my fave era....👀👀👀👀

Love.your.pob.cast.💙💙💙💙💙

WOW! Can't wait for this!

My great idea:why not do a book with a few chapters each....of everyone in Prince's circle.. .from his girlfriends....family members....his band.....friends,etc....everybody would detail their "Prince experience".THIS IS A GREAT IDEA! MY IDEA! NOW WHOEVER CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN....GO AND DO IT....FANS ARE WAITING!!!!!😉

I think a movie based on Prince's life would be Amazing!!!!!! Who would play Prince???

I believe wholeheartly Prince's story on seeing Pfunk performing knee deep prior to recording Erotic City over this dude's story.

I would die 4 you, which he perceived he loved me so much Seeing is Believing that 1 st near death experience Yes I know through my own NDE But I was suppose 2 exit never him Now I will explode 2021

this dude's recollection is OFF because Prince had already recorded Purple Rain by January through July of 1984.....

Cheeeeeeese !!!!!!!!!!!

who is this guy....cant figure out his role...is he just a fan that collects????

i can't wait for this book!

Why is Prince neck a different shade to the rest of his body?

Prince has stressed...all his life in the Music Industry...know him for his ART...Music...Which is why PEOPLE have ignored him...labeling him to be a mystery to those searching and prying into his personal life. Prince Artistry and Music is the legend which land marks HISTORY. Money and Credit is written all over this so called purpose..(hidden agendas). Prince just happened to be a FREE MAN...Unbelievable to have actually gotten away...having his own way...That one who proved...THEIR rules and methods they set...are not his...nor ours...Smells like there's a fox in the hen house...typical of the FOX...US/NC c/c

Yes!!! The truth...only one I heard speak 100% truth was Susan Rodgers...everyone else? Waits till he can't defend. Speaks with fork tongue . funny how every. And I mean everyone. Come out with a book after his passing.. Odd no??

Lol... ?????

This will probably the first Prince book Im gonna buy since Pop life when I was 18. But Jesus how coked up is this dude.

Notice not one of this book makers are interviewed by a journalist. Or someone that will question them and nail them on follow up question....sick of the bubble gum interviews....dare one of them go on the Howard stern show.

Another snake oil remadie I sure. With no receipt...and you hear this guy being careful of what he's saying. Can't blame him for trying to sell a used car. 😆

Typical misinformation!

Duane dude, you talk fast , go back and forth, drop your sentences and stutter. Bad interviewee!

I had forgotten all about Prince .... no really .. he kinda died down a long time ago... what was the big deal anyways ..????? He's gorgeous but... that's about it !!!!
