Duane Tudahl’s book “Prince and the Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions: 1983 and 1984” lifts the paisley curtain to expose the little-known tale of Prince’s ascent from cult beloved to a global rock icon. Through in-depth stories of his days on tour and his time spent alone in the recording studio, his journey is painstakingly chronicled.
Tudahl crafts an intimate story of a quirky genius and the people and events that shaped the innovative music he created, thanks to her unmatched access to the musicians, singers, and studio engineers who knew Prince best—including members of the Revolution and the Time.
