Search - Prince: In the Studio: 1975-1995 - The Hits

Prince In the Studio 19751995 The Hits
Author: Jake Brown

Originating his very own funk-pop musical genre that produced over 100 million albums sold world-wide; six Grammy Awards among tens of dozens of award nominations over the past 30 years; induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and a world-tour the same year which grossed $87 million- making it the # 1 most profitable tour of the year... more », Prince proved he was as relevant in the millennium as he'd been since the late 1970s when he first introduced what Rolling Stone Magazine describes in sound and impact as a "taut, keyboard-dominated...hybrid of rock, pop, and funk, with blatantly sexual lyrics...(that) influenced much of 1980s dance-pop music. Taking the foundational fusion of funk and new wave that predecessors like Stevie Wonder, Sly and the Family Stone and Rick James had first introduced to the pop mainstream to its next musical level, Prince invented a new style of music that the record making/buying world simply hadn't been acquainted with prior thereto. Now, for the FIRST TIME in the pages of 'PRINCE: In the Studio- 1975-1995- The Hits', fans are offered an inside look into the behind-the-scenes writing and recording details behind such multi-generational classics as 'Little Red Corvette', 'Purple Rain', '1999,' 'Batman', 'When Doves Cry', 'I Would Die for You', 'Raspberry Beret', 'Sign O' the Times', 'Let's Go Crazy', 'Kiss', 'I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man,' 'U Got the Look,' 'Pop Life', 'Thieves in the Temple,' 'Diamonds and Pearls,' 'Most Beautiful Girl in the World,' 'Seven,' 'Alphabet St.,' and countless others, this is the most definitive, exciting and complete study of Prince's musical catalog. Featuring exclusive interviews with former band members, studio engineers, childhood friends, etc., 'Prince: in the Studio- 1975-1995- The Hits' will acquaint fans with the full story behind Prince's musical evolution from childhood in Minneapolis, beginning with his pre-teen mastery of the piano and guitar, to his teenage evolution into drums, bass and studio production, to the time of his record deal at age 19, where he'd achieved proficiency with 31 musical instruments, becoming the youngest artist in Warner Bros. history to produce his debut LP. In the course of the 3 decades that followed, Prince compiled an unreleased vault of over 1500 songs, in addition to his amazing 25 studio albums, and 34 Billboard Top 40 hit singles!
