A Night with Prince
4 Extra Debut. Music critic Ann Powers reflects on a career defining night she spent with musician Prince in his Hollywood mansion. From 2021.
US music critic and broadcaster Ann Powers presents a tribute to Prince, framed around a night she spent with the star in 2008.
This was a night for hanging out in the singing star’s Hollywood mansion in Beverly Park - a place with the European opulence of an upscale spa.
And also for meeting his protege and girlfriend Bria Valente, and for listening to tracks in Prince’s limo, a local club – even his bedroom.
Contributors include:
* Keyboard player, Doctor Fink
* Sound engineer, Susan Rogers
* Biographer Dan Piepenbring, who was working on Prince's memoir just before he died
* Kristin Scott Thomas, whose first ever film role was in the Prince directed Under The Cherry Moon.
Producer: Clem Hitchcock
