I think that Dez and Vanity so far are the only ones if I am not mistaken has done tell all books based on their experience with Prince. And also there were books that were from third party perspective about Prince but I want to heard tell all books from Wendy and Lisa and plus Brownmark definately I mean he was the most quiet and underrated talented member and also from Dr. Fink because he isn't afraid to speak his mind and he did said that Alex Hahn's Possessed books were full of lies.
. Oh and also from Cat too she just basicially disappear after she left Prince.

Karen K(sorry I can't remember her last name) or Susan Rogers.

Jesse Johnson

I would love to see Andre Cymone do a tell all book. I bet he could tell some really good dirt.

Karen Krattinger?

KaleidoscopeEyes said:

Thank you!

Okay, I gotta ask. Who is Karen Krattinger?

BlaqueKnight said:

She was a sound engineer/personal assistant or something another for P thru out the 80's. I believe she was the one that was there the night Prince decided to cancell the Black Album. In the book DMSR,she said she had many a Prince story she could tell but never would out of respect for him. She and Susan Rogers were around longer than just about anybody in the Prince camp during the 80's.

sitruk7 said:

If my memory serves me correctly, she did an interview for the Omnibus Documentary in the UK and what she told about P's behavior was pretty deep. At that time, he was acting pretty eratic and reclusive and was sucucidal at one time according to her.

Anytime!

I think that web site was joking about the sanitarium bit because blackguitaristz has worked with Andre in recent years. Andre could probably tell some bitter dirt.

"He was in such a bad mood all the time and a lot of us were reaching a burnout phase with him", say Rogers. "Many of us had been with him a long time, but we were further away than we had ever been. As happy as he was with the Paisley Park studio, there was a feeling that things in his life just weren't right. It wasn't a good feeling in the air and he wasn't as much fun 2 work with as he had been. I don't think he was very happy about his career at that point. And he missed Wendy, Lisa, and Susannah. Not only had he lost a great band and his fiancee and confidante, he lost a couple of close friends. They contributed a great deal 2 who he was and hepled define him as a person." Rogers left Prince's camp in October '87, when Prince had nearly finished the Black Album. - taken from the book D.M.S.R.
Susan and Peggy McCreary were his sound engineers in the 80s, Karen worked with Alan Leeds as road and tour manager. Although Susan no longer worked with Prince she 2 was called and asked 2 come 2 the studio the night Prince decided 2 cancel the Black Album. The last engineer I know of was Hans Buff on Rave.

sosgemini said:

It was an documentary that was done in the UK about Prince in the mid 80's to early 90's. There were showing it on HQ about 5 months back.

Tell all books are tacky as hell and generally written by people
who are on the bones of their ass in order to make a fast buck. To sell the book
it has to be sensational so how can you trust the truth therein?
Answer - you cant so it just turns out to be a cheap thrill that leaves
you none the wiser.

Whether I believed them or not I be the judge to that but I still want to hear the first person perspective of their time with Prince rather than hearing third party accounts.
