Dearly Beloved: Prince, Spirituality, & This Thing Called Life

Named “2025 Best Non-Fiction” by African American Literary Award Show

When Prince spoke those words over celestial organ sounds in the opening moments of "Let's Go Crazy," he wasn't just inaugurating yet another Billboard Hot 100 hit--one of forty-seven in his career; he was also giving voice to the deep-seated and richly complex spiritual underpinning of his art.
