Alive.co.uk -- Prince mentioned by UK singer Beverly Knight Taken from: http://www.alive.co.uk/in...ws/006.htm
-- Tell me about your website "I've got a lot of stuff on the website. We've got 'Meet The Band' as well which is one of the things I love. It's not all about me and what I'm doing, I want people to get into my band because they're fantastic. The message board, as well, where people write to each other and to me, I love all that. They've got all kinds of things, like my hairstyles. David Bowie's got a great website, one of the best ones out there and the Prince one's great." Did you catch Prince on his recent tour? "I was in New York shooting a video. I tried to move the whole video shoot just to go see the concert, that's how major a fan I am of Prince. I couldn't, so I went to Paris and saw him there. We met twice about three years ago. To me, he was very chatty and we talked a long time. He really studies you when he looks at you. His eyes are as big as mine and I've got some big old eyes. He really looks at you, so we were both looking at each other. We talked about music and he talked about the people he loves and he's really into my album. I adore him." Do you think the two of you would ever work together? "That would be my dream." Off the top of my head, she's also spoken in the past of going to the Celebration - I believe it was the 2001 one. She's a very vocal Prince fan in interviews generally. At one time she was considered to be one of the finest up-and-coming UK vocalists but, unfortunately, she never wrote/found the songs to allow her to blossom. She also occasionally DJs for local independent radio, I believe. PorterUk. "What did the five fingers say to the face?" SLAP!! -- Rick James, habitual line-stepper. | |

I also highly recommend checking out her albums, especially Prodigal Sista and Who I Am. | |

Beverley Knight's debut album is available from Dome Records, the label that launched her career.
Incidentally, they're also releasing Rosie Gaines's next album. Plug, plug, plug ... [This message was edited Sat Apr 10 10:00:11 2004 by fauxnewbie] | |
