"Allen was like another member of the band. He was the only
photographer that I ever remember just hanging around with us.
Prince trusted him more than anyone since, I think. Al was allowed
to be around in the dressing rooms and at rehearsals. . . . He was
there in beginning, and we were really close, and he was a punk
like we were. I am so glad to see someone unearthing his stuff."
Lisa Coleman
"Working with Al was very natural; it flowed. The magic of how Al
worked--and I think it's the thing that really appealed to
Prince--is he had a way of conducting things along without being
overbearing or reducing people to action figures or something. It
was very organic, and he managed to pull something out of this
disparate set of human beings." Dez Dickerson
