Thanks for being with us. Good morning, diane. Good morning, ryan. I want to start now on his career because a lot of people dont realize what kind of musician he was and how early this started. He played just about every instrument out there. Talk a little bit about the beginning and how this started for him. Well, prince was signed when he was 18 years old to Warner Brothers records. And he released his debut album following year. Here is an artist brand new and is allowed to use his own songs, his own compositions. Played all the instruments on the album and troued his record himself. Unheard of up till prince did it. And he loved that freedom of doing everything himself in the studio and handing in a finished master that he wouldnt have it any other way. So he certainly was a trendsetter for that for artists controlling their musical destinies from early on. Bruno, so many of us admired for his ability to span across jen raz and really excel at pretty much everything he did. We know very little about the man. What do you know about prince . What kind of man was he . What kind of person was he . To his band mates and people who encountered him. Prince was obsessed with music. Music was his life. And it was funny because you would go to a prince concert. It would be a threehour religious fair. Next thing you know, an hour later everybodys telling you go to a small club because prince is going to do another set and another one after that. He live ford music. I think music was the thing that drove him throughout his life. He constantly pushed the envelope musically and even though he did have somewhat of a career on the acting side and we saw it in purple rain and . Under the cherry moon and several other films, lis love was music. More than anything being on stage. Being on stage was a religious experience. Supersede that for him. To this day, we have never read a bad review of a prince concert ever, ever ever. And bruno, for many artist whos kind of tried to push the envelope like you said, there tends to be pushback in the beginning. What was the reception like for him when he first started and wanted to do all these things on his own and wanted to dress in his way and wanted to kind of be so unconventional . Well, with the first big single i want to be your lover, people didnt know if he was a man or a woman. He pushed the boundaries on gender, sexuality and even race back in the 70s when this was completely unheard of. And he was the opening act for the Rolling Stones in 1981 tour. He was booed off stage because he was so unique and so original. Nobody really understood what he was all about. Eventually people realized that we were witnessing somebody who was even greater than most of yeah, and were looking right now at video from the super bowl. Tell us about that and what kind of a turning point that was in his career. Well, we hadnt heard from prince in several years. His big comeback was the super bowl. To this day, its the probably the most acclaimed super bowl halftime performance weve ever seen there. He covered bob dillon and the foo fight areas, his own music, as well. It was a rainy night in miami. And prince just pulled all stops and made the most incredible performance. That gave him and his career a new lease on life. That was in 2007. Ever since then, hes been nonstop. Amazing night that was. I know. I remember it like it was yesterday. Bruno del gran nat toe our music guru, thank you for joining us. We appreciate it. Thank you, ryan, diane. And please stay with abc this morning for more coverage of prince, the death of a legend. Weve got the tributes from the latest from what may have caused his death but really a celebration of his life. All that coming up on america this morning and good morning america. Turning to the race for 2016 and transgender rights spark controversy on the campaign trail. Donald trump and ted cruz are going head to head over north carolinas new bathroom law that forces transgendered people to use the bathroom of their birth gender. Trump is accusing lawmakers of attacking a problem that pretty much didnt exist in the first place and now creating a new one. Meanwhile, cruz is now accusing trump of being politically correct. The idea that grown men would be allowed alone in a bathroom with little girls, you dont need to be a behavioral psychologist to realize that bad things can happen.

The judge has aid if all of the plaintiffs back out, that decision may be reconsidered. Right, because youll know why. Remains to be seen. 42 plaintiffs right now at stake.
