I was in a Prince video, The Most Beautiful Girl in the World, and at the end of the shoot Prince gave me his cane saying, “it’s old anyway” which made me laugh like he couldn’t just give me a gift. It reminds me of what Peggy said about how Prince gifted her things.
I am just now watching and reading comments & Amazing in the video! You are a beautiful woman ! Women should uplift each other. I saw Prince in concert 3xs & still can’t get enough! I was one of the girls in the audience. I would dress up and wish! His music 🎼 still transports me back to those days. It’s Amazing you got that talent and opportunity to work with him!❤️🎶🕊
As a kid 10yrs old I remember sitting with my Prince albums and tapes reading everything on them. I imagined who these people were, Peggy Mac, Susan Rogers, Clare Fischer, David Z, Steve Fargnoli, and Alan Leeds etc. So many people who were actually there when Prince was making music. Its nice now to put faces to their names and listen to their real life experience. Big ups to Sunset Sound Studios and thanks a million times over for sharing your storys. We love Prince so we love you. P.s let's get Susan and Peggy in there together that would be a hoot Liv4luv 0(-+>
Omgggg I did the same exact thing!!!! I was obsessed with prince since 83 and I used to think of each one of these people and how cool they must be to know him!!! P.s I’m still obsessed and I’m about to turn 50 😊💜🙏🕊️
@@Hbizz813ME TOO! That’s how I learnt English: I knew Purple Rain by heart, listened to it 1000 times on my Walkman and I read ALL the album covers from the first to at least Sign of the Times (when I saw him first live in Paris). Now I teach English haha! I got an American accent just from this, at a time when there was no internet…
Same, although it must be said that Prince and Clare Fisher never met, so he wasn't there when prince made music. Also at the time, no internet, I thought Clare was a woman
@@robroufla @robroufla Yeah I know the story I just meant those who were credited on some of the albums. Not going to lie I thought Clare was a girl too early on. Not enough credit for those string arrangements. Pink Cashmere probably my fav of Clare's input
I love Peggy’s “Matter of fact” description of working in the studio-long hours, testy artists, etc. Props to all the engineers, runners, janitors, etc. Thanks for the series Sunset Sound!
Susan Rogers and Peggy McCleary really paved the way for women sound engineers and technicians in the music studio. They also showed women should be respected in the workplace. They are pioneers. These interviews have been amazing. Thankyou for all your hard work ladies and other technicians + engineers as well. That's why today we have all that awesome music. And thankyou to the artists as well. Su.xx😮 Peggy, Apollonia and Susan Rogers are amazing.👏

My daughter of 20 years and I watched this entire episode. She was so charmed by Peggy's life experience at Sunset Sound. Her stories, her tenacity, her success as an engineer and more importantly as a fulfilled woman! Thank you for sharing this interview! Keep on doing this great series!
Prince did give me his guitar pick, when i saw him at Glam Slam(birthday rehearsal) and told him i was born on June 7th also, He smiled. and said happy birthday. Purple one, Happy birthday fellow june 7th Gemini. this is an Epic interview.......thanks Sunset Sound
I could listen to Prince stories all day. Would be interesting to know more about the gear that was used for recording and mixing. I love Prince's fast workflow, it's about a song, not that much about a snare sound, that way you always have the mojo of a song's birth on your tracks, instead of having to choose between 20 different takes or 50 different snare sounds or effects
I love how you can tell they wanted a bunch of Van Halen stories and she just didn't care. She's all about Prince. Which is WAYYY more interesting than Van Halen anyway.
God bless engineers. They have one of the toughest jobs. I love hearing all these stories about Prince, it makes him sound so down to earth and very real. I think Prince was smart in working with women, not controlling, he probably knew they could get the job done and wouldn't waste time with all the ego tripping that goes on. The industry is built on the backs of people like this.
I can’t get enough of these candid chats about Prince and other studio stories. Been a huge Prince fan since I was a kid and to finally get a peak behind the curtain after so many years is truly amazing. So grateful to these kind folks sharing their stories. It’s completely rekindled my love of Prince’s music again. Thank you 🙏
Props to Dweezil for trying to pull out some Van Halen memories. I do understand the amount of music Peggy has bouncing around in her head, but more substantial Van Halen memories would have been nice. Great sessions.
@@fretbuzz59 correct... some ppl have a hard time imagining what being in a studio is like and how people working there 'look' at music. she mentions not listening to music for multiple years after her work in the studio and it's not because she "hates" music. she didn't have time or energy to pay attention to Van Halen like fans imagine they would if they were there. ------ i witnessed a couple of albums taking shape in studios (just happened to know people), and as Peggy said, it's the opposite of glamor.. it's like cutting the veggies for a salad but for 10hrs :).. at one point you don't even hear music anymore but sounds if that makes sense... add stress/pressure to that and it's miserable, not everyone can do that sort of work
Together with Susan Rogers,they are women in sound.The way ,they rolled into this job and how they were involved and dedicated. Great stories,she is telling, it enriches the view on personalities like Prince and others.
Such a treat to meet Peggy and hear her stories. This music is so much a part of our lives... it's like we're meeting a relative we didn't know we had and hearing family history we never knew.
These types of interviews are a wealth of information for what happens in the studio.... good, bad, ugly, indifferent, or as perfect as it could be, their jobs were not easy, & have to deal with all the different personalities or therefore lack of & still do her job, my goodness I hope she writes that book
What a great session..memory lane.She is such an intelligent, smart and fortunate person to start in the industry when it was a artist doing his craft art..and now a big money maker..love her banter...I know one of the engineers that worked with Prince and she said he was difficult to work with in the time he was a big star...demanding...I have a great admiration for her..a women in a man's world. A good friend of mine whom we had played in a band in after high school..finally made it to be an engineer for a studio in Marin California..in the interview he was told if you get accepted for the job..you work 12 hours a day, 8 days a week work with those who on drugs. alcohol, insanity, divorcees crazy times..do you want o job.? He said I just got married let me talk to my wife..he declined. But he went on to be a very successful business man. As for her i would love to read her story...and she swooned over EVH...heartthrob...!!!!
I adore Peggy’s sass. She’s so down to Earth, relatable and real. These roundtables are a joy listening to the memories and experiences (the way her face lit up when the Neumann u47 got mentioned made me smile. (If you know, you know!) So glad you’re happy and healthy Peggy, you are truly a treasure. Now please go write that Autobiography! PS: Not sure what was going on with the audio around 53:00, but I like to think it’s a little Engineering in-joke! 😋
Simply put. Peggy is awesome. What a fascinating, smart, and fun woman. I thoroughly loved these shows and I could easily listen to more. Tell her that for me and I hope she does more.
REALLY enjoyed this 2 part convo with Peggy! What a treasure she is. I love her down to earth vibe. Huge respect to her as I can't imagine the nonsense she encountered working in that boys club 40 years ago. Thanks for these amazing videos the last few months, SSR! SO STOKED that you have Ted coming up!!!
A hidden legend, thank you for introducing her to us! Learning that she was involved in the mix that changed my life (VH) was wonderful! Smart, real musical people are my bag baby!

I seriously cannot seek out enough of these types of sit downs with the "behind the scenes" people who worked with my favorite artists or just simply in the industry period. I could sit and listen to these sorts of anecdotes all day every day. Especially with the stories that have nothing to do with the actual work, those give such fun flavor to the whole thing lol you think these people (the engineers & the artists) are so different from you, theyre so amazing, so lucky, incredible, have had such a life different from you - but those funny little stories add such a lovely familiar humanity into all of it.
Absolutely brilliant interview. I'm thinking it's just the Prince, Toto & Van Halen albums that are the only albums I have but her credits show me a truck load of albums I've also got and didn't realise she'd also engineered. Peabo Bryson, Joyce Kennedy, Yellowjackets, Michael Ruff, The Pockets... are you kidding me? I've got all these. Queen, Pioneer, Legend. Total Badass.
Brilliant part 2 of this interview with Peggy! What a cool talented sound engineer and great storyteller. Love hearing about Prince, Stevie Nicks and Elton John etc. Adore her unique sense of humour and laugh. 💜 🕊️ 🎸 🥁 🎹 🎼 🎶 🎵 👑⚜️💎🏆🎙️
There is definitely a book in many of Peggy’s anecdotes,,she knows soo much about the music business...I really like the Lady,she is incredibly funny😀,also it seems her genius level of emotional intelligence helped her in work with Prince 💕
Peggy is so great.... and so sassy.... these are fantastic thanks again... these are the best things I have watched in months... and all I want is MORE Fantastic work
Oh my God thank you for this. You brought back so many memories. As an assistant engineer starting at Cherokee and then going into first chair at the record plant, Larrabee, and O’Henry sound and many other studios in the late 70s and throughout the 80s this is great to hear somebody else going through the same trials and tribulations that I did. Keep it up guys these are great.Loved working at Sunset Sound (for Georgio Moroder & Nina Hagen) Thank god for the “Producer Knobs” on the board in 2 during one of the upgrade weeks. Still an API/Demideo guy to this day.
Thank you, guys, for introducing Peggy to all of us and for just letting her speak without trying to guide or stifle her in any way. I had a blast following her stories and anecdotes and I'm kinda sad now thinking you'll probably not do this with her a couple times every week lol. Wish her the best and, yes, if she writes a book (not just about famous people, could be about anything) that would be a definite no-brainer gift to myself (first, keeping it real :P) and to others.
This was so great to watch , both parts . Peggy seems to be such a nice ,friendly lady ... Write that book Peggy ! This series really has made my week !... Loved it !! ... Thank You !!
It has been a perfect playing for me having a lovely and awesome Fan like you, thanks for your love, I have you mostly to be thankful for 🎼🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🌹🌹🌹
Absolute Authentic Soul...Peggy is a Prime-Time Pleasure to Listen to...Thank You All!...Brilliant Interview...Dweezil was also a Highlight...Many Great Questions...
After thinking about the 1st interview she mentioned Prince walking past a certain artist and saying too much ego or something of that nature something tells me that was Madonna...🤔. Honestly guys and gals thank you so much for these interviews these literally make my week!!!! For someone who loves the fine details of recordings this is pure gold!!! Yes I'm the geeky 10 year old kid in 1982 reading the back of the Van Halen album.. yes album... and wondering where they recorded it and who did the work. Again thank you!!! 🤘
I am confused why David Leonard who worked with Madonna was mentioned with David Kahne who produced the Bangles at the time unless they were just all at the studio at the same time.
Thank you, Ms. Peggy! Awesome interview and story telling. You really should consider a book. :) What Sunset Sound is doing with these interviews is SOOOOO important for documenting the music, those who craft it and the era(s) in which they occurred. Do not stop until you've got it all on TAPE! Ooops... Showing my age there. lol :)
C'mon Peggy! Tell us who the guy was that wouldn't allow you to leave the studio without asking permission. That guy deserves to be publicly shamed :) Also, thank you so much for doing these interviews. I've wanted to hear from you for decades. Thanks for your incredible work.
Just guessing but could it have been David Foster? Near the end she let slip that she was reprimanded for something related to Foster. Would also seem to fit with Foster's persona.
Peggy.... waw. Such an honest and straight forward fantastic woman. I love her approach of it all. ''It was a job'' in the first place, but she just isn't the kind of person to idolise artists. Very smart. The others are honest and fantastic too. Dweezil Zappa seems only to care about Van Halen, couldn't care less it seems for other artists or other stories, didn't put much to the conversation either tbh. Still great. Love these talks. I listen to them over and over. Thak you all for these great stories!
I wonder what it’s like to be the son of one of music’s greatest geniuses and be a fan boy of Van Halen. Dweezil seems likes such a chill ass dude! Thank you for these awesome interviews! Hats off to you all.
It has been a perfect playing for me having a lovely and awesome Fan like you, thanks for your love, I have you mostly to be thankful for 🎼🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🌹🌹🌹
I thoroughly enjoy listening to Peggy. Although her stories are certainly entertaining, there is appreciable value beyond entertainment that I recognize. I would love to see Peggy get a book deal or something similar so that both she and a greater audience can benefit from the sharing of her stories and experience.
Peggy’s really cool. Now we know what happened behind the scenes....very very interesting...sure hope there’s part 3 and more 😊 2 weeks for a snare is snake oil 🤣

I cant remember the last time i have been so interested in someone I’ve never heard of than Peggy.
This woman needs to write a book. She's seen it all.
Too bad she can't remember it. I'd still buy it.
What a woman. Don't make many like her anymore. Legend.
Agreed. I want to know more about the beef she had with the Toto guys, and what specifically led to her firing.

this is an Epic interview.......thanks Sunset Sound
I like her. I'd love to hear her stories "off the record" so she could really dive into personalities.
Her stories off the record would be great to hear , I could sit & listen to her talk all day about her experiences in the studio
Yes unless it's gossip..I still think we should respect artists privacy as well.

You spelt Peggy McCreary and Susan Rogers wrong. 😋

Prince is a genius. He was a high school basketballer. Beating u in highheels not only shames his opponent but keepin him agile in heels to perform
She's a firecracker! Great interview.
WE LOVE PEGGY! BRING HER BACK/ BRING HER BACK/ BRING HER BACK!!!!!!!

Peggy has so many entertaining stories. She would be amazing as a dinner party guest !
💜
I never knew of Peggy....what a wonderful woman she is. Talk about hard work.....wow. Great stories she told!
Nothing but love for Peggy from our time together at Post Haste💗
PEGGY 'MAC' IS A BOSS!!! I certainly remember her from Prince's early credits. She and Susan Rogers ARE THE TRUTH. Thank You, Ladies.
She needs to come back . This podcast was informative and phenomenal
I tell u what, this lady is the real deal, raw, genuine and authentic. I believe every word she has to say and would love to hang with this gal.
Props to Dweezil for trying to pull out some Van Halen memories. I do understand the amount of music Peggy has bouncing around in her head, but more substantial Van Halen memories would have been nice. Great sessions.
Except that it's kind of fanboy stuff, and more than she wanted to discuss. Besides, she only worked on the first album, and wasn't really a fan.

Such a delight to hear Peggy's recollections and anecdotes from her career and time with Prince! Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you, Ms. Peggy! Awesome interview and story telling. You really should consider a book. :) What Sunset Sound is doing with these interviews is SOOOOO important for documenting the music, those who craft it and the era(s) in which they occurred. Do not stop until you've got it all on TAPE! Ooops... Showing my age there. lol :)
Please invite Dr Susan Rogers who brings a whole lot of expertise now as a music academic and engineer. She is fascinating to listen to as well!!
Her personality and attitude are awesome! This auto played and I listened from beginning to end.
I love her. Real people...
I love this … thank you for producing such a history about Sunset Sound!!! ❤️🩹❤️
This is the quickest I have ever pushed the subscribe icon! Finally music is getting a Kick in the ass!!!!!
She is such an interesting interview. Invite Peggy back for more interviews!
C'mon Peggy! Tell us who the guy was that wouldn't allow you to leave the studio without asking permission. That guy deserves to be publicly shamed :) Also, thank you so much for doing these interviews. I've wanted to hear from you for decades. Thanks for your incredible work.
Agree, Thank you all of you, and really could stand here and listen to Peggy for days.
Looking at Tchad Blake’s discography from that time period, my guess is Jackson Browne.
My guess is it’s Frankie Valli. Only worked with him once and it was in the 70s.

@@eskero but he’s not on her discography. However, that’s his MO - ask Darryl Hannah.

Just guessing but could it have been David Foster? Near the end she let slip that she was reprimanded for something related to Foster. Would also seem to fit with Foster's persona.
Loved It!!! Much, Respect for Peggy. Very Charming.
Peace*
A fantastic interview !
Thanks Peggy for sharing your stories.
Much appreciated.
Your boys should be very proud of their mother.

Peggy.... waw. Such an honest and straight forward fantastic woman.
I love her approach of it all. ''It was a job'' in the first place, but she just isn't the kind of person to idolise artists. Very smart.
The others are honest and fantastic too.
Dweezil Zappa seems only to care about Van Halen, couldn't care less it seems for other artists or other stories,
didn't put much to the conversation either tbh.
Still great. Love these talks. I listen to them over and over.
Thak you all for these great stories!
excellent Peggy Mac!!
Another guest I would like to see back so more could be explored. This format is so perfect for this. Already looking forward to the next one!!!
Great interview and stories. Told by a "real" person.
That was thoroughly enjoyable!! Thank you!!
Another great one thx to all !
I wonder what it’s like to be the son of one of music’s greatest geniuses and be a fan boy of Van Halen. Dweezil seems likes such a chill ass dude! Thank you for these awesome interviews! Hats off to you all.
It has been a perfect playing for me having a lovely and awesome Fan like you, thanks for your love, I have you mostly to be thankful for 🎼🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🌹🌹🌹
I thoroughly enjoy listening to Peggy. Although her stories are certainly entertaining, there is appreciable value beyond entertainment that I recognize. I would love to see Peggy get a book deal or something similar so that both she and a greater audience can benefit from the sharing of her stories and experience.
Thank you to this page and everyone for doing this interview. Absolutely 100%AMAZING!
Prince worked the shit out of them i see why alot of them quit
Peggy’s really cool. Now we know what happened behind the scenes....very very interesting...sure hope there’s part 3 and more 😊 2 weeks for a snare is snake oil 🤣
