Prince remembered from the current. Looking back on your time at Paisley Park and working with Prince, what was he like to work with? A credible perfectionist. I was in a position to be a young kid.
He made you see at the top of your game every minute camp beyond being great. Wow. And what was that like? I mean, what did you learn from him in the process?
The most valuable lesson was he let the muse continue unedited. He would do some songs that he would see them all the way through, complete them to their best they could be, and maybe knock them in the vault, never to be heard of again. Let it be what it's going to be. What do you think his legacy is for the music industry or for musicians?
Well, he was certainly one of the fellow instruments, and that's what I remember hearing about. The Warner Brothers was allowing this young kid to produce himself, which was unheard of at the time. So what everyone does nowadays, but he was one of the first by far. So there was 50 unreleased albums worth of the bass and 500 songs.
500 unreleased songs. Yeah. And I'm sure it's double that. 50 albums.
The lobby of Paisley Park is pretty large underneath it is the bank vault that holds his, you know, it was overflowing back then even. Do you have any particular memories that stand out for you in the years that you worked with him? It was interesting. The public persona was very different than when he was a liferckel.
He was quite a joker and more like more, whoa, kind of something he would never, ever, ever, amongst his people. It was, it was a sense of humor. Why do you think he didn't let loose in front of the public? With PR, he controlled his image.
He was very, all very calculated. And if in the speak, he built, you know, maybe, maybe when you, maybe when you're in the speak based on that. What do you want people to know about him, you know, in thinking back on his life and career? What do you hope people take away, I remember?
I guess how he affected each and every person. And that's the two geniuses being able to summon with your art. Private Paisley Park. He had tons of your own personal prints.
