The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018. (www.amazon.com/gp/product/1538114623/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) or www.facebook.com/groups/1...104195943/

Nope. He did Rolling stone in 81, not much else around then sinc he didn't like how they portrayed him. A quick search of Google did turn up the following Prince mention in a Playboy interview. It's Albert Brooks talking about the I'll Do Anything Project..



PLAYBOY: You actually had a singing role in Jim Brooks' I'll Do Anything?which was shot as a musical, but released without any music. Can you now sing some of what we missed?

BROOKS: I sing great on the page, by the way. Imagine Steve Lawrence here. I had two songs?remember, I played a desperate Hollywood producer. The first one was called "There is Lonely", which I sang after a terrible test screening. It goes,"There is lonely . . . then there is looonelyyy." It was a funny idea?after getting bad scores, this guy was singing a death song. I sang the other one before a different preview at a big theater complex. I danced through the line of people waiting to get in, singing?"I'll do anything to make you like me, I'll do anything to make you smile . . ."

I was just so disappointed that the movie did not come out the way it was intended. Even I've never seen it as a musical. I've asked Jim, "Why isn't it out on laser or DVD? It would be a ball for people to see what you actually made." I don't know why he won't do it.

PLAYBOY: The music was written by the Prince?before he was Formerly Known As. Was he watching you?

BROOKS: He was there one day. I remember my joke. There were 17 people around him and he was sitting a little higher than everyone else. He wore these long pink robes. Jim said, "Albert, do you know Prince?" And I said "Which one is he?"

There's a playboy that came out a little after Purple Rain were they had look-a-likes of Prince and Vanity posing necked, they were on the cover. My freind found this a few years back at some old book store and thought it was funny so he bought it for me.

I thought it was an 80 issue.
