I hope that all the Prince people come n. Appolonia, Morris, Jimmie Jam etc. Sunset Sound this series is by far the best thing I've ever watched. Thank you for doing this. I notice there is no sponsors, and Im sure its expensive to do all this. Love u Peggy

Oh, I didn't know she was this honest. I gotta watch the whole thing now lol.

Read Duane's book that writes about Peggy's time with P as well during some of the PR sessions (and as Susan Rogers was coming-in). P is my favorite artist - by far. But dude could be mean - hell, he was mean to me in Eastgate Mall when I got his autograph. Yet, one has to go to his story. The man was surrounded by people and extremely lonely. He wanted to be in control because when he wasn't his life showed him that you can be gone at any minute. He abused his status as a boss to control his environment. He realized his mistakes and started making phone calls before he passed (as we know are finding out), but in his younger years, he could be mean. You hear this on the sound checks; you hear Morris, Jesse, and others, but in his heart, he was a good guy. He was human - like we all are.

He demanded a lot from her,because he respected her,I mean how many top female music engineers are there??.Prince was a mercurial genius,Peggy just tells you as it was,warts n all,we all have a unpleasant side to our character.To be as successful as Prince was,it took discipline and mental toughness..

On International Lover (1st take) ....I know how to keep you wet "Peggy are you listening". Lol. She had her back turned & said all she could do was smile. That was for a laugh & she said he never hit on her, respectful in that sense. He also called her in to work? on her birthday, but when the recording was done, at the door, he said Peggy? He tossed her the cassette, said Happy Birthday & left out. It's her song! I hope it gets released at some point. I'd love to hear it! 💜💜💜

Interesting film selection that P made. Diva is a French film about an opera singer who refuses to record, or have recordings made, due to her belief that Art is temporary, and recording ruins the experience. Ironic for such a studio maven. But great taste in films...

If you separate the career from the man... it's undeniable the fame and stardom Prince accomplished.He was a proficient musician and had a lot of influence being the soundtrack for people's lives.The man however, wasn't so rosy of a story.Prince took legal custody of a 15 year old fan while having a relationship with her when he was 41.He also did in his movie career the exact same thing Harvey Weinstein is in jail for right now,and people are furious with him for.Not to mention his hopeless opioid addiction that took his life.So what they say about actually meeting your heroes is true.If you actually met Prince, you would have been disappointed

@@pastorofmuppets22 Who are you talking to in the second post? In response to the first: Ah, I see, the one he married! The (inaccurate) version of the story I knew, she lived with her parents until she was 18, and they didn't "become a couple" officially until she was 19 and his dancer! I was uncomfortable with the age gap and the way he handled the death of their child, but I didn't realize he was pursuing her at a younger age. I don't think he docked her pay for weight gain while she was pregnant, btw, I don't think they were married yet. i think it was when he saw her eating something "fattening" like whipped cream (which is not only nasty and abusive, it's also preposterously ignorant about calorie content.) But, while I love a lot of Prince's music, I never thought he would be at all nice to date, and over time this opinion strengthened. I have long believed that he probably had a personality disorder, and there was clear signs in some of his music that, if he was at all like the lyrics he was writing, he would be an emotionally abusive partner who would swing between idealization and devaluation, and would be a clever manipulator. For example, in the spoken interlude in "get off" he swings between praise, setting up the woman by asking what she would like to eat just so he can brutally cut her down about her weight....but quickly reassuring her that he is attracted to heavier women, and moves right into undressing her without even having the dinner date. The character he plays in Purple Rain is manipulative and emotionally abusive, but back then it was hard to know what to think, as he was acting and not directly claiming it was autobiographical. But I think the thing about canceling Prince is....he's **deceased** Even though our culture is FINALLY listening to women and children claiming abuse by powerful figures in entertainment and sports, There's just not the same traction with a deceased person who, frankly, never behaved very normally. Prince's entire schtick was that he was very weird, and his lyrics were hypersexual and full of emotional kink. Should there be reaction? Yes. But I feel like the kick back is much more intense if the person is 1. Alive to face retribution And 2. Presenting a veneer of normalcy

That Stones concert was a mess. I heard that concert almost broke Prince not financially but mentally. The audience was booing and was throwing bottles. The word around the campfire is that Dez was hit in the head with a bottle and walked off the stage. Not sure if it's true. The rhythm thing I agree his drummer was white and Prince didn't replace him with Morris. And yes I believe rhythm can be taught but a person has to have some kind of intuition. I'm a drummer and I met a lady after a gig and she asked me about her grandson. He's having the hardest time learning to play the drums. He started at 6 and now he's 21 and there has been no improvement. I told her start will children music books and a metronome. This is not a dig at her grandson but the children books really simplify the information. Music books can be real wordy and compacted making it hard to understand sometimes....

LOL. but to be fair that's not as much a "white" thing as a cultural tradition emphasized in black families much more than white families. Coming from a multicultural, and multiracial family myself, I noticed these things at an early age. My mother raised me and my siblings in the Black American traditions of our community, my father being 1st generation Italian /Jewish American grew up outside those specific traditions. In our household, we were submerged and immersed in rhythmic music from the time we woke, through breakfast, lunch, dinner, to bedtime. we listened during chores, and even when completing home studies there was music in the background. Being able to dance, and keep rhythm is expected among peers in social circles in our community esp. back then. Most of us can bob our heads and move to a beat before we can successfully walk across a room without falling.

Usually professionals don’t dish on the stars they work with in this way. It sounds like he spent time reaching out to her and treating her like a person. She seems super dismissive and callous about it. But we got juicy deets!

He already had a huge audience before purple rain and the songs he recorded on controversy and 1999 were bangers.

Its really a shame that prince didnt have an person who liked his music engineering/producing for him. Imagine how much better his songs couldve been. Peggy just wasnt into his vibe at all.

Prince was one of, if not THE greatest musician in his generation. Yes he was brutally rude sometimes and in his early years quite arrogant with all that is implied by the term. But as he grew and worked through the pain of his childhood...as best he could, he regretted much of that and reached out to many to let them know that. Like many infinitely talented artists, he also had a devastating childhood. He was emotionally stunted in the area of relationships of all kinds. It takes a truly mature soul to effectively handle that...and there are not many of them in the music business. Fortunately, a rare few of those closest to him forgave him his faults and despite his issues loved him and his work anyway. Unfortunately many of those around him, especially as he aged in life were users and enablers which while not unusual for those of his wealth and status, ultimately led to his death. I loved him warts and all and still do. Rest well sweet Prince. See you soon.
