The Legend Lives On
FRIDAY (4/21) marks the seventh anniversary of the death of PRINCE. Today, CNN AUDIO debuts a new podcast, THE PRINCE MIXTAPE.
Hosted by poet and writer NICHOLE PERKINS, the eight-episode series takes listeners inside the life of the enigmatic musician, via the people who knew, worked with and loved him. Along the way, the series covers key moments: how his lyrics gave birth to the Parental Advisory sticker found on releases; his fight to keep the masters of his recordings, and more.
In episode one, “MINNEAPOLIS Always Been The Bomb”, PERKINS speaks with PRINCE’s first producer, CHRIS MOON, and shines a light on how PRINCE ROGERS NELSON became a global star. Listen here.
