Paisley Park Tour -
The long hallway outside Studio A features a 6' high mural that Prince commissioned Sam Jennings to create in 2007.
This mural got its start when Prince was playing the Rio in Las Vegas in late 2006 — early 2007. The Rio backstage area was located downstairs had a long corridor connecting the green room to the dressing rooms. Prince wanted to put some big images on the wall where everyone had to walk by during every show.
Wall wraps in Vegas sparked Prince's imagination, and that is when the talks first began for a Paisley Park Museum. Prince loved the idea of covering all the walls with massive murals spanning different eras. This was one of the first murals to go up at Paisley Park, and other murals continued for years after with different designers.
Using a photo of Prince by Afshin Shahidi from the Musicology Tour taken with a fish-eye lens, Sam played around with the colors and added the guitar that Prince is standing on, as well as the big lotus flower behind his head, which was originally intended for the Lotusflower album.
With arms outstretched to his sides, to Prince's left are the musicians who greatly influenced him which include Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, Jimmy Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Earth, Wind & Fire, Chaka Khan, James Brown, and Tower of Power. To his right are the musicians he influenced most directly, including protégés Sheila E., Vanity, Morris Day and the Time, Apollonia, Wendy and Lisa, Sheena Easton and many more.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
