30 Days Engineering Prince - Bill Jackson on "She's Always In My Hair" & "The Glamorous Life"

7pm TONIGHT!!

In 1981, recording engineer Bill Jackson was hired as a runner at Sunset Sound. Like all others, he had to go through the levels to become a head engineer.

That 1 day turned into 30 days with the artist and Bill engineered some of his biggest tracks, including “She’s Always In My Hair”, “The Glamorous Life” , “Around The World In A Day” & many more. Bill would go on to be a successful recording engineer with multiple recognitions on other work, including “Dead Mans Party” with Danny Elfman!
