Eric Leeds on In A Large Room With No Light

From http://www.thelastmiles.c...-leeds.php (courtesy of the Quake):

There's a song which I don't know has ever been released. It was a song of Wendy and Lisa's and it's known by various titles [including] "Welcome To The Rat Race," but was actually called "Life Is Like Looking For A Penny In A Large Room With No Light," It was Sheila, Wendy, Lisa, Prince, myself and a couple of horns and that was one my favourite songs.


Interesting info.

Hmm, I put it in P:M&M because it sheds some new light (no pun intended) on a Prince song that many people know and love. Not many people will see it in the AA forum.

clapping Good article!

I guess this goes back into the face of those orgers that were arguing whether Prince could read a music sheet (despite Prince himself admitting in a interview that he did not read)

TLM: How did Prince prepare his musicians for a new recording? Did you have charts for example?

EL: No. He does not read or write music. At the time I was in the band, myself and the trumpeter Matt Blistan were the only guys that read music.
