Reddit reviews Prince: The Man and His Music

There’s definitely a few books out there. The one I’m currently reading is fantastic! It’s called Prince: The Man and His Music. Although I disagree with his personal opinions at times, he does a pretty good job of sticking to the information. His opinions are brief and focuses more on the meat of the matter. I’ve actually discovered many songs I have not heard of before because of his book. It was worth it alone for that! I’m almost 20 chapters in and it’s very detailed and I’m not even halfway through. Great news is that the new updated version is only $9 new on amazon. This would be my recommendation.

I havent read this one, but “Prince and the Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions: 1983 and 1984” is supposedly the absolute best one you can buy if your only interested in those years in great great detail. This is next on my list.

Then there is the end all be all (as I’ve heard it called because I’ve never read it!) “Dance, Music, Sex, Romance: The First Decade” by Per Nilsen. This is apparently the absolute best book you can buy but it’s so ridiculously expensive I’m not gonna even link it. If you can find it tho, make me a PDF! Haha
