ARCHIVE ON 4: A NIGHT WITH PRINCE (320kbs-m4a/129mb/57mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 17th April 2021
To mark the fifth anniversary of Prince's passing, US music critic and broadcaster Ann Powers presents a tribute framed around a night she spent with the star in 2008.
This was a night for hanging out in the star's mansion in Beverly Park (which had 'the European opulence of an upscale spa'), for meeting his protege and girlfriend Bria Valente, and for listening to tracks in Prince's limo, a local club – even his bedroom.
Contributors include keyboard player Doctor Fink, sound engineer Susan Rogers, biographer Dan Piepenbring who was working on Prince's memoir just before he died, and Kristin Scott Thomas whose first ever film role was in the Prince directed Under The Cherry Moon.
Produced by Clem Hitchcock
