What a great read - thanks for that!

My two all time favorite artists!! That's definately a book to add to my wish list

Another fantastic interview from Alan Leeds. It really gives an insight into how Prince operates - and how much material is stored up!

Though I thought it was odd that Alan was talking about emails flipping back and forth back in '87 - although the internet was around then, it really didn't get user-friendly until much later...

great read!

thanks for posting

Thanks a lot for this!

thanks! everyone needs to check this out!

I always envisioned Prince putting out a lengthy Cd of Bitches Brew-like jams.

The story of their relationship is very revealing of both of them and particularly Prince. The most interesting thing is that Prince is unwilling to direct people he admires, but paradoxically want them to fit within his own parameters. It's the case of an extreme control freak being even less able to relax due to his great respect for his famous collaborator.

Indeed really fascinating stuff.

Thanks,

Excellent article! So fascinating to hear the stories of my two favorite musicians. Wow! Thanx for posting this.

What a great interview. Thanx for the find.

Has anyone heard about the anecdote where Prince goes to visit Miles at his home and P is greeted at the door by a completely naked Davis?

And a side note - Does anybody know if there is any recorded material of Prince's dad's jazz career?

interesting read. but why is Leeds talking about emails form 1987?

I remember reading that Prince provided a poem that was read at MD's funeral. Any truth to this and does anyone have it?

Prince is a liar.
He never recorded with MIles Davis in the studio.

This is the last thing that I will read, where Alan Leeds is concerned. Alan may have been the man, but now he just seems interested in "telling" on Prince, and I just don't want to hear it.

yep, we had e-mail back then
there was quite a group of us on prodigy
i started on compuserve around 1985-86
we used to get charged by the minute

props to wendy, lisa, alan, and eric
for turning prince onto jazz!! mwahaha!

I said it on the Alan Leeds thread...and I say it again...Alan is great.
I love the way he tells the stories. It sounds very honest and respectful, not gossip.

I hope he releases a book someday
