The Leeds brothers really "understood" and supported Prince, while still being honest.

Good people

This is a great article. I always love hearing about behind the scenes stuff, even if we've known some of it for a while.

I agree. Seems like Alan was probably one of few who spoke the truth with Prince. Many others just agreed with whatever he wanted.

Man, that was a great interview! Thanks for sharing. I'm very sorry for him that he didn't get any closure. I had the same thing happen with both my mom and dad, and I understand how it haunts you at times. Still, he had 10 amazing years... arguably, the golden years!

Really insightful article. Every Prince fam should read it.

I think his explanation for the dismissal of The Revolution is very well stated. I've never heard it articulated that well before.

I also find it interesting how so many of Prince's associates all felt like they never got closure. I've heard the same general story now from so many people.

Fantastic read!! Looking at the artists he's worked with and how honest he is, he should think about doing a book.

Alan has got to be involved in any future Vault release. Just has to.
