Prince From Detroit?????

The story is from the largest Danish Newspaper about Prince recording a track for a new up and coming tribute album for Jimmy Hendrix. The article calls Prince "The Little Purple Star from Detroit"!!! So much for a bit of research and Prince's fame in Denmark in the year 2003.

Anyway the article also states that he is going to do a cover of Red House which of course is going to be called Purple House instead. Surprise surprise.

The link to the article is: http://www.bt.dk/Rampelys...aid=132362

The full article is here below in Danish. There is a Graffiti Bridge era photo next to the article.

Prince indspiller hyldest til Hendrix

Omkring 33-års dagen for rock-legenden Jimi Hendrix’ død 18. september udkommer en hyldestskive. Med bidrag fra en stribe forskellige kunstnere. En af dem er Prince.

Og med vanlig sans for selviscenesættelse har den lille, lilla stjerne fra Detroit valgt at lave Hendrix-nummeret »Red House« om til »Purple House«. Med på cd’en kommer også en Earth, Wind & Fire-version af »Voodoo Chile«, mens Chaka Khan er gået sammen med Kid Rock’s guitarist Kenny Olson og har indspillet »Little Wing«. Det er Hendrix’ halvsøster, Janie Hendrix, der står for udgivelsen. Som Hendrix’ gamle orkester-kolleger fra Band of Gypsies, trommeslageren Buddy Miles og bassisten Billy Cox, også er med på. maggie
