Episode 2

Mica Paris continues the story of Prince.

In this programme we look into the mystery of the most famous non-release of 1987, the Black Album and at the meaning of his favourite word of 1988, Lovesexy.

We also look at the souring of his relationship with Warner Brothers in the 1990s when he changed his name to an unpronouncable symbol and went on the road with "slave" scrawled on his face.

In 2003 his name is Prince again and although he's without a record deal, he is cultivating a new relationship with his fams (or family). For one week per year he opens Paisley Park to celebrate his birthday and his newfound beliefs.

The programme features contributions from George Clinton, Chaka Khan and producer Jimmy Jam.
