Prince would always say, that her lucky number was always #7 and yet we see another unusual example of this…I guess 'on the record' she was right, once more… (La Melle Prince, born January 7, 1927 Kennett, Missouri - presumed death 1991 Los Angeles, California).
*In retrospect, you can also find one of Prince's rare and most noteworthy stand out song performance's heard on the historical 3 CD (Box Set) 'From Where I Stand: The Black Experience In Country Music.' The song entitled "The Man That Made A Woman Out Of Me" is referenced on Disc #3 ('Forward With Pride') track #7; and was produced in 1969 by the late Country Music Famed Record Producer Owen William Bradley and recorded at his historical recording studio "Bradley's Barn" in Nashville, TN. Also, with the legendary world-renowned male quartet singing backing vocals, The Jordanaires. Prince, is and 'was' considered one of the most intriguing, distinct and unknown artist on this CD album collection (Nominated for a ?1998 Grammy (Album Package and Notes) produced by the Country Music Foundation and Warner Bros.
