The song "Old Friends 4 Sale" was written in 1985 and was featured in
Prince's movie "Under The Cherry Moon" but not included on the
soundtrack "Parade". The original song contained lyrics with veiled
references about the firing of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis of The Time and
"Big" Chick Huntsberry, his former bodyguard, who supposedly sold a
fictious story about Prince to a tabloid to support his cocaine habit.
The song was re-recorded in 1991 with less personal lyrics, and
released in 1996.
After leaving Prince in 1985, he kicked a serious cocaine habit and
became an evangelist, setting up Big Chick's Ministries and speaking in
schools and prisons. He died without life insurance for his widow,
Linda, and their six children.
