thumbs up! Soulmusic.com also has usually most of the Unsungs posted there. Absolutely a moving story, with a view on the moments of his personal and professional life, and cool to see in Ray's ep a brief tour through his previous Ameraycan Studio bow

Funny and True story about Ray and Prince. Ray met Prince in 1978. Ray invited Prince over to his home in L.A. and Prince was blown away that Ray had a recording studio in his home. After the minor success of "For You," Prince had a little money. Prince asked Ray to help him set up a studio in his home in MPLS. Ray was happy to help. Ray hooked him up, saying "he really couldn't afford the SSL recording console that Ray had at the time, so Prince had to go with a cheaper, more inexpensive one." All In All, Ray was the one that helped Prince start is home studio. Ray and Prince even spoke about producing some songs on his next album. Months go by, and then Prince plays songs songs for Ray for his opinion..."I Wanna Be Your Lover, Sexy Dancer, I Feel For You, etc." Ray was excited about the new material and said, "You don't need me, this is great!" In the end, Ray said, "I should have played some cowbell or something, just to be a part of Prince's history and legacy." Now I know why Ray was at so many Prince premiers and events. They are good friends and have a lot of respect for each other. They recorded this for Unsung, but ended up on the cutting room floor!
