This cat is amazing. For Prince heads, Foley talks about recording at Paisley Park, meeting Prince for the first time, Prince showing compassion by calling Foley when Miles Davis passed, recording with George Clinton, and doing sound for the European leg of the NewPowerSoul tour. It's a must listen and guess what, Foley stop by again for the Minneapolis Music Month in March. I spoke to him in L.A. yesterday where he is producing some things with George Clinton.

Foley told us THE highlight of his career thus far. He sent Prince a video of a Foley "Dollar Bet" concert from Berlin 1998. Foley and his musicians were doing some 1970s funk songs and did a smokin' version of the Jackson 5 "ABC". Few years later, Foley was at the Key West concert by Prince and Prince walked up to him, just nodded and said to Foley, "ABC, that was the song. You did it up."

Pretty cool words from this exciting interview and concert.
