Best Selling Author Ben Greenman Talks His New Book PRINCE Dig If You Will This Picture On The One Year Anniversary Of His Death
Ben is what most people would describe as a "Super Fan" who also happens to be a best selling author. He has been a fan of Prince for decades and tomorrow April 21st, 2017 marks the one year anniversary of Prince's death. I remember playing Prince on the radio back at WDRQ in Detroit beginning in the late 1970's all the way through the 80's and 90's. To me Prince was a complex man with lots of opposing thoughts and views, he did things his way and fought to keep the music a clear reflection of who he was and what he wanted his art form to represent. He was always pushing boundaries...always. What I enjoyed most about Ben's book is that it is not filled with salacious gossip and rumors about Prince but it is more of an unbiased investigative look at an artist that forever changed the landscape of music. Die-hard fans of Prince will enjoy the psychology, the behind the scenes look and the tasty nuggets about certain songs and how they came to be...as well as the Purple Rain movie and the importance of getting it made right. I especially enjoyed the references to Morris Day and The Time, Sheila E., Apollonia and Vanity 6. "Dig If You Will The Picture" is written in such a way that the casual fan is able to enjoy it just as much as the die-hard. The book title "Dig If You Will The Picture" is a lyric pulled from the song When Doves Cry..."Dig if you will the picture of you and I engaged in a kiss" (I misspoke in the interview and said "you and I embraced in a kiss"). Oh well, possibly he was embraced as he engaged...be sure to pick up this book in your local book store and online at: amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/Dig-If-You-Will-Picture/dp/1250128374/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492702362&sr=8-1&keywords=dig+if+you+will+the+picture via Kindle https://www.amazon.com/Dig-If-You-Will-Picture-ebook/dp/B01MRU59CS/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1492702362&sr=8-1 Reach out to Ben via Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ben.greenman Or his website at http://bgreenman.com/
