WHEN PRINCE FIRED TONY TONI TONE

In Prince's career young purple became a shiny object to a curious public. He quickly turned into a critics darling and an Mtv kid. If Purple Rain created the superstar then Sign o' the Times created the Legend. Prince put it all together & burned it all down. For better & for worse Prince would never be the same again. The cleansing fire consumed the Revolution and birthed the music that changed Prince forever. Varying accounts in this episode suggest that Prince knew that the firing was set to happen when it did. Some members of the touring band were prepped others were not. Meanwhile there's a young group of musicians tagging along and being awestruck. Tony Toni Tone was one of the most innovative r & b bands of the 90's. TTT was one of the very few that were not produced by Teddy Riley or Babyface. Nevertheless they were thrown into the New Jack Swing bag. I shouldn't have Been surprised to learn that they were at least tangentially related to Prince.
