Love this story about Kevin Cole and Prince ...“One night in the middle of a DJ set at First Avenue, I felt someone gently tap me on the shoulder. I turned around and it was Prince, holding an acetate, asking “Will you play my record?” When I worked it into my set later that evening, I saw Prince run down to the dance floor. He didn’t dance, but stood out in the middle of the floor and just listened. It was the first time any of us heard “Erotic City.” blog.kexp.org
