    The African-American community is very close as Tony M has reiterated in this video. So nice to see men proud of their heritage. Respect to them all. You guys get the best interviews!!

    Props to your hard work in documenting Prince’s work with his legendary associates. Props to Sonny T and Tony M for doing this. These are valuable time capsules that will be more meaningful every year that goes by.

    Tony and Sonny are cool, realizing Prince's big picture. Refining, evolving , risk taking , changing on a dime, overcoming backlash and failure. That's a genius, a survivor, learned from experience . Leaders have a lot of roles, none being a best friend. They're the boss. Good or bad, he's, ultimately responsible.

    This is the Tony that was with Carmen Electra while Prince was away...resulting in Prince writing Eye Hate U? Sonny's my most favorite bassist Prince ever played with...love them all but Sonny and Michael B. working together....untouchable.

    I remember them more because they were not in PR. They performed on some of his biggest hits in the 90s & in some of his best videos.
