Sheryl Crow reminisces about her time with the late music legend Prince, revealing some fascinating anecdotes during her appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. The singer-songwriter shared how Prince changed the lyrics of her song ‘Everyday Is a Winding Road’ to ‘compliments and herbal tea’ and the memorable experience of playing basketball with him at his home, Paisley Park.
During the interview, Sheryl expressed her fondness for Prince, attributing the change in the song’s lyrics to him. She humorously mentioned how she still thinks of Prince whenever she performs the song, reminiscing about the time spent with him.
Sheryl also shared an amusing incident from her visit to Prince’s home, where she found herself on the basketball court with the iconic musician. She recounted how Prince, sporting heels, effortlessly outplayed her, leaving her in awe of his skills. She fondly described the experience as a dream, highlighting the surreal nature of the encounter.
Additionally, Sheryl revealed that she and Prince collaborated in the studio and later ventured to a local club, where Prince’s commanding presence took center stage, leaving a lasting impression on her.
It’s worth noting that Sheryl’s recollection of the changed lyrics differs from the actual version released by Prince on his album Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic, where the lyrics were modified to ‘compliments and herbal tea’ instead of ‘chamomile tea.’
