´óÏó´«Ã½

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

A Just Radio production for ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 4, first broadcast in April 2021.
