Post Description
Diamonds And Pearls is the 13th full-length studio album by Prince, and the first to be credited to Prince and
the New Power Generation. It was released worldwide in October 1991 (thirteen months after his previous album,
Graffiti Bridge), and was his first to be co-credited to a band since Parade, by Prince and the Revolution,
in 1986.
Unlike many of Prince’s previous albums, Diamonds And Pearls didn’t contain any updated tracks from the vault.
The album introduced an almost-entirely new band (although an early version of the same band toured with him
on the Nude Tour); only Levi Seacer, Jr. remained from the previous unnamed band (although he switched from
primarily playing bass guitar to rhythm guitar).
Michael B. played drums on most tracks, while many tracks also featured Sonny T. on bass guitar and Tommy
Barbarella on keyboards (all of whom would remain with Prince for a number of years), and Levi Seacer, Jr.
on rhythm guitar, Rosie Gaines on keyboards and vocals, and a rapping trio of Tony M. (performing lead raps)
and Damon Dickson and Kirk Johnson (playing percussion and performing background raps/vocals).
Kirk Johnson would remain with Prince for a number of years in different roles, becoming his full-time drummer
from 1996-2000 and Prince’s best man at his wedding to Mayte in 1996.
