“It was like working with myself – he replied Chaka Khan– A feeling never felt with anyone else with whom he worked. Quincy Jones and Miles Davis also exuded inspiration and shared it. Prince took ideas on the fly and left you speechless: “Where did this idea take it?” You asked you. He was a truly deep and beautiful thinker. We worked on many songs, which will all be on a CD that I will publish shortly – there have been many bureaucratic obstacles, but we have solved them. We are him, me and Larry GrahamTogether.”

“My memory is nebula – said the singer – Four in the morning? At four in the morning nothing but do follies! So I’m sure it was a wild and wonderful night. And don’t look for the little details; remember only the great feeling you have felt. This is how I manage that I manage mine memories. I don’t remember much of what I did. And thank God! I am a person who thinks about the “after”. Life is made of what is happening now, of what will come later. I did many things in my life, and I don’t remember more than half. I ever kept a diary? Oh, certainly not. It takes particular patience.
