Episode 141: Prince & The Purple Kingdom

I thought it would be interesting to assemble not only Prince’s work but also those who worked with him. His first ripple of influence of the Minneapolis sound was of course those artists that grew up with him as he was honing his craft. Those former bandmates wenton to create their own brand of magic which of course influenced others. Even in my own life while managing bands in the late 80's, our number one influence was Prince and all those trying to capture his unique sound. From the songs we covered to the wardrobe we chose, to the swagger we displayed on stage.We all wanted to become a loyal member of his royal family.This episode features, Prince, The Time, Andre Cymone,  Sheila E., Jesse Johnson, Vanity 6, and much more.Let's Go Crazy!PLAYLIST1.
