Synopsis

From Prince's superstardom to studio seclusion, this second book in the award-winning Prince Studio Sessions series spotlights how Prince, the biggest rock star on the planet at the time, risked everything to create some of the most introspective music of his four-decade career.

Duane Tudahl takes us on an emotional and intimate journey of love, loss, rivalry, and renewal revealed through unprecedented access to dozens of musicians, singers, studio engineers, and others who worked with him and knew him best—with never-before-published memories from the Revolution, the Time, the Family, and Apollonia 6. Also included is a heartfelt foreword by musical legend Elton John about his time and friendship with Prince.

Exceptional work. It's hard to beat Duane's last book, but by (Bob) George he's managed to do it. A detailed, thorough, hilarious, sad and hugely profound covering of perhaps Prince's greatest ever period. An absolute must read for any Prince fan. To paraphrase Spinal Tap, Duane has turned it up to......more

While reading Duane Tudahl's chronological account of two years of Prince's life, I often thought to myself that I never wanted it to end. Happily, it ended on the right note.
