WHEN PRINCE LOST his DEZ DICKERSON

Purple Rain is a real thing. Irrespective of the non believers, when Prince is ready to make a project go, you can bet on it. Purple Rain mostly recorded between Los Angeles at Sunset Sound and Prince's Kiowa trail home studio in Minneapolis, captured an artist in his creative prime making the most of every creative opportunity. By 1983 Prince had already shown all the hallmarks of genius that still describe his work. Purple Rain by all accounts was a work of pure fiction. This series is an attempt to take the viewer on a journey rife with the true drama that followed the Prince circus. Purple Rain the movie and the music happened quickly in the midst of the biggest ever shift in the Prince camp. Morris Day, Dez Dickerson, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Jesse Johnson, Wendy Melvoin, Lisa Coleman, Vanity, Susannah Melvoin all have a major part in this play. The outcomes & the Linn LM-1 drum computer will define the Prince sound for the near term.
