Flew them off, fed them and put them on a hotel on his expense,,,,,he knew he how to get those reporters on his favor from the jump street.

It looks like a friends get-toghether as oppposed to a conference room, the whole setting is very warm and family oriented.

I wish they would release this on DVD.I already have the SITKOL documentary that was released in the 90s (with interviews by Quincy Jones,Berry Gordy,Coolio,etc) but it would be nice to have this 1976 footage too.

That was phenomenal! It made me try to remember how I felt when I first heard the record shortly after it was released. I think I bought it about 2 months after it came out.

I remember that the songs were everywhere! Radio not only played the singles,they played many of the other tracks too.To this day;many people assume that "Isn't She Lovely" was one of the singles but it wasn't.It just got alot of airplay.

• Did you first think Prince was gay? •

Wendy: He’s a girl, for sure, but he’s not gay. He looked at me like a gay woman would look at another woman. Lisa: Totally. He’s like a fancy lesbian.
