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.
I have read some of the book. Trust me this is NEW info. Goes day by day and even the hours of the sessions. What parts he recorded when, who was in the studio with Prince. You really get a sense of his recording process. Almost like your there.
The Purple Rain album costed $6.98 that summer of '84. The 1999 album costed $10.98 or $11.98 because it was a double album, the price was on the album.
Well, just like the Beatles Complete sessions by Mark Lewisohn. He chronicled the day John Lennnon and Paul McCartney met July 1957 to the break up of the Band in 1970.
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
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....
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!
onesweetexpat. I straight-up know exactly what you are saying........Prince was murdered and I know the big wicked & evil record label executives had something to do with his death . I wish Prince and MJ had put their heads together because they had SAME kind of problems & fought the SAME kind of fight against the SAME kind of enemy's I wish they both could've put their foolish minut differences aside and put themselves back to back to one another and went to battle together with those that claimed their lifes in the end for their own creative lifes work , they certainly had the financial resources and intelligence to make that happen. #GoOutWithABang. #TheThirstWasReal.
onesweetexpat. I glad to finally hear ZERO beef between those two geniuses within their own rites. I believe they could've made a very strong impact to the music industry's two Epic World Reowned Mega Superstars theres no act larger then MJ & Prince that would've gotten the worlds attention they needed to this situation they both were facing. I wonder did Prince think he was next after MJ passed ?
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!!!!!😉
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
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
skyweezynU He’s a biographer 🤔. He seems to be taking a scientific angle, like a detective and piecing together what happened in a moment in time. This is great!
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??
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. 😆
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 !!!!
Music created from the 1999 album right through the Purple Rain Era was simply incredible!
H L COTTEN I agree!!!!!!!
H L COTTEN
I LOVED CONTROVERSEY thru UNDER THE CHERRY MOON
Dirty Mind.......Purple Rain..Greatest period..
For me its 1979-1990 .
As Stevie Wonder called him... The EMPEROR of Music.
'Katina's paper dolls' is a lovely tribute to Vanity.

And of course, Vanity 6 and Apollonia 6 too!

I think a movie based on Prince's life would be Amazing!!!!!! Who would play Prince???
Mark Stewart ...without a doubt Lil Sweet!
It would have to be a person that could imitate Prince perfectly....otherwise the movie would be a farce!
I think an intimate and in depth documentary about Prince will do. Doing a Movie??? Not feeling it.
nobody (sorry that makes me want to throw up)
Kevin Hart or Dave Chappell.....
this dude's recollection is OFF because Prince had already recorded Purple Rain by January through July of 1984.....
ROCKNROLLFAN The clue is in the word "Era"...
Dig it. This guy selling snake oil.....just like the rest...except Susan Rodgers..shes the only one speaks the truth.
WOW! Can't wait for this!
Really???
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

Cheeeeeeese !!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Howard Stern is good journalism?
Why is Prince neck a different shade to the rest of his body?
Uh, shadow.....
PrinceFriend 4ever. Was it his make-up that was being used ?
@@Vincentedrawit01 It looks like a shadow to me as well
@@phyllistate442 No it’s his shadow Of his chin
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.
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. 😆
Lol... ?????
Duane dude, you talk fast , go back and forth, drop your sentences and stutter. Bad interviewee!
Kim Salama cocaine, maybe??? Lol!!!!
Ya'll wild LOL
Dead on brother.this guy like all the rest. Used car sellsman.
Typical misinformation!
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 !!!!
Emilie Smith I only agree with the gorgeous part 🤔
Just say no to drugs. Crack head. It's bad for you.
