Prince Rogers Nelson news writes, In 1977, Prince was sequestered at the Record Plant in Sausalito, Calif., recording what would become For You, the 19-year-old's debut album for Warner Bros. Records. For two months, he had kept the label heads in the dark, so executives Lenny Waronker and Russ Thyret decided to pay their new artist a visit.
Listening to track-in-progress "So Blue," an impressed Waronker commented on how good it would sound after the bass was added. Prince interjected, "There is no bass on that song. Get out of my studio!," tossing out the very folks who were footing his bills.
