De Angela Duff Interview Part 1

Join Ed for part 1 of his interview with internationally recognized Prince scholar De Angela Duff, Associate Vice Provost at New York University and professor at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, for a thoughtful conversation about her journey from growing up in Eutaw, Alabama, to becoming a leading voice in the study of Prince. She shares how music and design first shaped her path, the story of discovering Prince, and the concert experiences that turned admiration into a lifelong passion. 

De Angela's co-hosts of What Did Prince Do This Week? are Michael Dean, C Liegh McInnis, and Ricky Wyatt (RIP! He is sorely missed).

The book, The Lyrics of Prince: A Literary Look at a Creative, Musical Poet, Philosopher, and Storyteller, is written by C Liegh McInnis.

And shout out to Harold Pride, who coined the term, “the band with no name” when referring to the Sign O’ The Times/Lovesexy band.
