Beverley Knight - Life and Times of Prince

Hi all,

Guess this is only really relevant to UK television watchers but Beverley Knight is at the BBC tonight recording Celebrity Mastermind and her specialist subject is the Life and Times of Prince!

How would you do?

nice one!!!
I pinched her bottle of water when she did an aftershow with Prince in London lol
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

LOL, I follow Bev on Twitter and when she posted that, I immediately fired off a bunch of questions to her as a warm up.....Here's what I asked her:

who played keyboards on 'The Most Beautiful Girl In The World' despite Prince having a massive public beef w/ his brother?

which member of the New Power Generation allegedly slept with Carmen Electra, causing Prince to fire him and dump her? wink

who was the longest serving member of Prince's original backing band? Which song on Dale Bozzio's solo album did P write?

which famous LA punk musician and later briefly a member of Nirvana and Foo Fighters was in the Raspberry Beret video?

from the aborted Camille album, which is the ONE song that has yet to be officially released elsewhere?

what track got cut from the original CD pressing of the 1999 album due to space restrictions?

Who replaced Jimmy and Terry in The Time? Who were the opening acts on the Controversy tour?

which EW&F member did WB want producing Prince's debut? Which girlfriend inspired "Eye Hate U"?

what was Prince's first side project on WarnerBros that never got released? Who sang lead vox on 'The Screams of Passion'?

Which member of the Jackson family covered Prince's "Private Joy"? Who was the drummer on the Musicology tour?

@BeverleyKnight which comedian appeared in Prince's video for 'The Daisy Chain'? Name the A&R that signed Prince to Warners!

@BeverleyKnight name 2 songs that feature both Prince and George Clinton. Who duetted with P on 'U Make My Sunshine'?

Which member of The Revolution wrote the words to 'The Stick' by The Time?Who dropped out of Prince's band because of "Head"?

Who was Camille's arch nemesis? Name three Prince psuedonyms. What suburb of Minneapolis is Paisley Park in?

What's Prince's sister's name? Which protege starred in both Purple Rain and Graffiti Bridge?

Name 3 acts signed to Paisley Park.Name the track Prince wrote for the Mazarati album. Where was Prince's debut lp recorded?

OK, I'll give you a warm up. Andre Cymone's real name. Morris Day's speciality instrument. Who wrote 'Soul Sanctuary' w/ P?

-----

Out of all the questions I asked her, she got the George Clinton one right and the "U Make My Sunshine" one right. She got the John Blackwell one right also...and that's it.

I don't think Mastermind's questions will be anywhere near as tough as mine, lol.

How would you do?

I always thought I could win a round doing Prince. Problem would be getting through and needing another subject.

2 b fair...they r pretty hardcore questions.and i'm sure bev is far too busy forging a succesful career for herself to know the answers to such irrelevent questions

/\ good job bro.

the answer to the second questionis Tony M, it was Verdine White that WB suggested produce 'For You', Dave Chappelle was in the video for 'The Daisy Chain', Russ Thyret was the A&R, Lisa and Prince wrote "The Stick" not Dez, Andre's real name is Andre Anderson (Simon is his middle name), and you got everything else right.

cammille, she was appearing on a quiz show that is supposed to have tough questions and her speciality subject was "the life and times of Prince".

If you choose something as your chosen subject, you're supposed to know everything about that subject and 95% of what I asked can be read about in any Prince biography worth it's salt.....just sayin.

She might not do too great. At the Indigo in 2007, I was impressed by her, but cringed when she looked at the 3121 sign, and said "three-one.....two one" really unsurely, with Prince in the wings.
