Atria Books
September 2008
The color purple overwhelms the presentation of “21 Nights” by Prince and Randee St. Nicholas. And it’s no accident. Prince and his purple trademark is purposeful. Photographer St. Nicholas documents Prince’s 21 nights in London as he performs at London’s 02 Arena.
Solitude is most beautiful when captured at the right moment, and photographer St. Nicholas is right there. Beauty defines every inch of this collection of images. Stylish models and musicians also grace the pages of one of the most glamorous coffee table books ever published. Tucked away in the spine of this pictorial documentary is a CD with exclusive tracks, available with purchase.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and the UK Hall of Fame in 2006, Prince’s legacy is celebrated in never-before-seen photographs (124) and unique words and lyrics.
Planet Earth
Imagine holding planet earth
in the palm of our hand
with no regard 4 ur place of birth
or claim 2 any land
the only thing between us now
is the truth we understand
if planet earth was in the palm of our hand
The epitome of cool, Prince allows us a glimpse into his international status as one of the world’s most celebrated music superstars.
