PRINCE

Prince Rogers Nelson is one of the most important living musicians. Regularly referred to as a genius since almost the very beginning of his recording career, his ten year run of hit albums during the eighties was unmatched by anyone else releasing records during that decade. This book, which will be timed to coincide with Prince's fiftieth birthday in 2008, will take a hard look at the life and work of a musical genius, concentrating on oral testimony from those who have worked with Prince, or thought hard about his thirty year career, and will allow everyone from fair weather fans to the die hard obsessive to understand his enormously interesting body of work, in all mediums, in the most revealing critical, biography and artistic context possible. In this title, the interviews include: Shelia E, nelson George, George Clinton, Mel B, Kristen Scott Thomas, Spike Lee, Kim Basinger, Sinead O'Connor, Bono, Joni Mitchell, Madonna, Tim Burton, David Bowie, Charles Shaar Murray, Oprah Winfrey and Paul Morley.
