Jana from the group "MPLS" Talks About Her Time with Prince

I was looking up some stuff on Sonny T and stumbled on this, very touching because it shows a side of the people that don't have the luck to make it.

eek She has a song named after her. Someone send that title to Princevault "Jana Jade's Army" What he said about Sheena Easton. lol

For me, he wasn't some far off icon. He was my friend.

When I told him I didn't have time to work with him because I believe in honoring prior commitments, he wouldn't have it so he put me on retainer so I would show up at Paisley Park at his command.

That's a great tribute. It makes me happy that Prince was supportive of her, and without alterior motives.

MPLS has been a favorite Prince tune since I heard it at Glam Slam as a teen, and I still love it. I just found the MPLS maxi online, with The Ryde Divine on it, and it kicked my ass. I hope we can hear more of their work together.

Thanks for pointing this out. Such a great read. I was just thinking of the animated video to MPLS.

She then went on to become a back-up singer for Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks along with Sharon Celani, Lori Nicks and Mindy Stein!!

Great read. Surprised that P was "anti sugar" towards her. We all know that he loved his junk food.

That's disappointing to hear about Oliver Lieber being a dick. I always liked him as a musician, and of course he comes from great music heritage.

But maybe he's different or better now. Who knows.

It's interesting that it's her voice saying "Partyyy man".

Two sides to every story. I've heard nothing but nice things about Oliver and he was great when I saw fDeluxe live.

Agreed. I like him with fDeluxe, and he's provided a lot of input production wise, and of course musicianship.
