He once wrote, 'Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,'" he paused, his voice quivering slightly as he caressed every word. The silence had deepened, somehow; the moment was stunning. "'Until ... in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace...

Prince’s high-profile disputes with the label executives at Warner Brothers Records, and his failed bid for release from his multi-album contract, are usually blamed for the precipitous drop in quality of his early nineties recordings. But the truth is, the Purple One just wasn’t destined to reclaim the Olympian heights he achieved on “Sign.” There have been some high points since then: “Diamonds and Pearls...
