Dickerson’s book was the first book by a Prince associate written while Prince was still alive.

Given how carefully his former boss guarded his history, it must have been nerve-wracking to write. But it’s impossible not to imagine Prince being charmed by this sweet account of their early years of making music and their adventures on the road.
