He says, \u201cit was the best thing I was ever involved with.\u201d A week before his 60th birthday, the basketball player and former security specialist tells us how Prince gave him his break in the business, and how that experience has impacted his life. <\/p>\n<h3>Sleeping In My Car.<\/h3>\n<p>When James Bryant first started working for Prince, he was charged with the task of watching Prince\u2019s purple house. Literally. The emerging star\u2019s home on Kiowa Trail in Chanhassen was painted purple.  \u201cI would sit in my car from 5:00 at night till 10:00 in the morning safeguarding the property,\u201d Bryant recalls in a recent phone conversation. At the time, the Minneapolis musician\u2019s fifth album was in the process of becoming his commercial breakthrough. 1999 would go on to sell three million copies and spend a year and a half on the charts. \u201cAfter that success,\u201d Mr. Bryant says, \u201cthere were always people hanging out and trying to check out where he lived.\u201d One night, when Prince returned home with his Purple Rain co-star Apollonia in tow, the pair decided to sneak up on Bryant at his post. They couldn\u2019t stop laughing when they found him dead asleep in the car. \u201cHe never let me forget that,\u201d he says with a chuckle.<\/p>\n<h3>Keep The Change.<\/h3>\n<p>James Bryant didn\u2019t have his own vehicle at first. \u201cI would rent cars, but that was too expensive,\u201d he remembers. When James approached Alan Leeds, who was managing Prince at the time about the situation, Leeds went to Prince and told him that Bryant needed money to buy a car. Prince in turn gave Bryant $2,000. Upon contemplating his best use of Prince\u2019s money, Bryant decided to buy the \u201cbeater\u201d car he spotted on a lot for $250. Prince then instructed him to take it to a local shop for new tires, a tune-up and anything else it needed. \u201cHe said, \u2018and have them charge it to me!\u201d When Bryant tried to return the remaining $1,750 to Prince, he was surprised by the response, \u201cNo, man, that money is yours. I gave it to you.\u201d Bryant has fond memories of working for Prince. On more than one occasion his boss would ask him, \u201cAre you hungry?\u201d Then send  him across the street to Perkins to get the \u201cButtermilk Five,\u201d a favorite meal of 5 pancakes and five scrambled eggs. \u201cHe was the most loving, giving boss anyone could ever have.\u201d <\/p>\n<h3>He Got Game.<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cPrince made me a celebrity,\u201d says Bryant, who began working for the Minneapolis superstar in 1983. His boss christened him \u201cJaybe,\u201d a name composed of letters from his first, middle and last names (\u201cJames Anthony Bryant\u201d). A self-described country boy from Arkansas, Jaybe relocated with his mother and siblings to Kansas City, Kansas when he was 13. The sixth of 13 children (12 birth, one adopted), he would attend college at Arkansas State for two years before enrolling in Minneapolis Community College. \u201cI played basketball. I put my name in the NBA draft, but I didn\u2019t get picked,\u201d Jaybe relates today. A career opportunity arose when the guy running First Avenue, the Twin Cities hotspot, offered him a job working backstage security. \u201cI ran with it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<h3>Hot August Night<\/h3>\n<p>A few months into the new gig, on August 3, 1983, Prince and the Revolution played a benefit con-cert for the Minnesota Dance Theatre. That night, James Bryant must have made an impression on Prince, then on the verge of becoming the biggest music superstar on the planet, by helping him stay cool. Unbeknownst to anyone at the time, this show would go down as one of the most celebrated in the artist\u2019s history: \u201cPurple Rain\u201d was debuted in a thrilling performance that formed the basis of the iconic album version of the song. \u201cIt was hot, like 90 degrees that night,\u201d Bryant re-members. \u201cI brought in a fan, a pitcher of cold water and some wet towels.\u201d Prince liked that. So much in fact, that Prince not only tipped him $100, but asked Bryant to come work for him. At first, when he heard that Prince\u2019s bodyguard (\u201cBig Chick\u201d Huntsberry) was looking for him after the First Avenue concert, the 23-year-old Bryant didn\u2019t know what to think. \u201cI was scared,\u201d he says laughing. \u201cDid I do something wrong?\u201d   <\/p>\n<h3>My Bodyguard.<\/h3>\n<p>It seemed however to Jaybe that Prince must have thought he did things just right. The music superstar had him looking after the Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse, one of the rehearsal and record-ing spaces that functioned as Prince\u2019s creative base before Paisley Park was built. \u201cI would sign people in and out,\u201d he says. Early on, Jaybe was given the option of getting paid 5 dollars an hour or $250 a week. He chose the hourly rate, a wise decision considering Prince\u2019s prolific work tendencies. \u201cHe was always doing something [at the Warehouse] or at his house,\u201d Jaybe affirms. One time during the period when he was preparing Purple Rain, Prince told him to \u201cbring some extra clothes to work and leave them here in case we go out.\u201d Sure enough, after Prince and he spent a night on the town, Prince asked the 6\u2019 7\u201d Bryant to be his bodyguard. Thus began his stint, alongside the others in Prince\u2019s security team - Big Chick, Harlan \u201cHucky\u201d Austin, Gilbert Davidson, and one of Prince\u2019s cousins - keeping the fast rising star safe. Jaybe accompanied Prince and the Revolution on the Purple Rain tour, one of the largest treks of his career. It\u2019s the only major Prince tour where Jaybe was able to spend some time on the road. But mostly, he was charged with looking after things at home in Minneapolis. <\/p>\n<h3>I Learned From The Best.<\/h3>\n<p>Stage hand. Wardrobe. Security. Bodyguard. James Bryant was getting first hand exposure to the ins and outs of the music business from an artist many, even this early in his career considered to be the greatest of all time. \u201cEverything was on point,\u201d he recalls, speaking admirably of Prince\u2019s stage presentation. \u201cI learned everything from him. How to do music, the music business, how to make a group.\u201d When Prince had Paisley Park built in the late 80s, Jaybe ran the in-house film company. He also helped casting Director Lynn Blumenthal on Graffiti Bridge, while heading up security for The Time on that same project. In addition to the business-related duties he was responsible for, James also appeared in music videos by Prince-associates Ingrid Chavez, Brown-mark (in the Prince-directed \u201cBang Bang\u201d), Patti LaBelle (he plays a gravedigger in \u201cYo Mister\u201d), and Mavis Staples.<\/p>\n<h3>Ain\u2019t Nobody Bad Like Me.<\/h3>\n<p>In March of 1982, Prince\u2019s Controversy Tour made its Minneapolis stop at the Met Center in sub-urban Bloomington. The following night Prince would play a second hometown gig at the recently renamed First Avenue (previously known as Sam\u2019s). Bryant and his friend, Scotty P. (A local DJ, not to be mistaken with Prince\u2019s longtime Front House Sound Engineer \u201cScottie P.\u201d Baldwin) would be awestruck by Prince\u2019s command of both his music and his image. Earlier that day, the pair walked in and checked out some of the soundcheck. Thoroughly impressed, they unanimously agreed they just had to come back to see the concert that night, which included guest appearances by both Sue Ann Carwell and The Time. \u201cI knew I had to get close to that, to whatever Prince had,\u201d he recalls. Later that same night, Jaybe and Scotty spotted Prince roller skating around Lake Calhoun, surrounded by four women. \u201cHe was with Vanity, Brenda and Susan. And Sandy Scipioni. I thought to myself, \u2018dude is bad like a mug!\u2019\u201d Then he adds, \u201cI started telling people that I already worked for him, that I had a job. I lied!\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Coincidence?<\/h3>\n<p>Jaybe reasons that he and Prince were possibly able to connect so well because they had some key attributes in common. Each had troubled relationships with their fathers and both played basketball. They also had similar musical roots. Jaybe\u2019s older brother played bass in a Kansas City group (Strange Fruit) and would bring him along on gigs. \u201cHe made me his roadie,\u201d Jaybe says. \u201cSo I got exposed to all of this music: James Brown, Rose Royce, Parliament-Funkadelic, Larry Graham.\u201d Prince, a little more than a year older than Jaybe, would cut his musical teeth on the records of many of those same artists. And both grew up with and maintained their love of hoops. Jaybe says he and his boss would make time for basketball, in spite of the rigorous work schedule, during breaks at the Warehouse, and later Paisley Park: \u201cThat cat would shoot me out every day!\u201d The 6 foot 7 inch Jaybe reports with a chuckle. When they weren\u2019t pitted against one another in a game of Around the World, Jaybe and Prince would team up with the musicians and dancers to rule the court at the Warehouse. So fierce were they that Jerome Benton of The Time assembled a \u201csuper-team\u201d including Prince\u2019s brother Duane Nelson to try to defeat them.<\/p>\n<h3>Tony, Get On The Mic.<\/h3>\n<p>One night, Prince said, \u201cJaybe, I\u2019m going to do a movie and I want you to help cast.\u201d While the movie already had casting agents in Los Angeles, New York City and of course Minneapolis in charge of that task, but according to Jaybe, Prince wanted to get \u201cclub people\u201d in his movie, and that wasn\u2019t happening. So he asked Jaybe and Scotty to help add that missing local flair. Among their recommendations was a trio of male dancers that had been winning local contests on a regular basis. Tony Mosley, Kirk Johnson and Damon Dickson would don police uniforms and cut funky fresh moves during the film\u2019s crowd scenes and musical numbers. Credit Jaybe with getting the trio in front of the casting director. Their appearance in Purple Rain would prove to be only the beginning of their association with Prince, as all three ended up becoming members in the New Power Generation band in the early 90s, introducing rap and hip-hop choreography to Prince\u2019s act. Kirk, in particular, remained connected to Prince until the end of his life and was Best Man at his Valentine\u2019s Day 1996 wedding to Mayte Garcia.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cI\u2019m Going To Join Morris\u2019 Group!\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019ve watched the movie Purple Rain, where moving from Prince\u2019s camp to Morris Day and The Time\u2019s was seen as treason, one might have some hesitation in real life in considering a shift from Prince\u2019s employ to Morris Day\u2019s and the Time\u2019s, yet Jaybe did precisely that in 1991. After a brief period of running Jaybe Productions and managing his own musical outfit, Exotic Storm (who released an album on Epic Records), Bryant returned to working with Prince. He stayed till an opportunity arose to tour Japan with Morris Day and Co. as road manager, bodyguard, and head of security and transportation. \u201cI basically ran the organization,\u201d he says. Impressed with Day\u2019s natural on-screen charisma - \u201ca lot of Morris\u2019 scenes in Purple Rain it turns out were ad-libbed,\u201d he affirms - Jaybe helped position Morris in the lead role in the Fox Network sitcom \u201cHotel Dicks\u201d, which also included Morris\u2019 friend and bandmate Jerome Benton. After shooting two episodes, the show wasn\u2019t picked up. When recalling The Time assembling again after 1990\u2019s release \u2018Pandemonium\u2019,  Jaybe says, \u201cMe and Morris put it back together.\u201d And how did Prince react to Jaybe\u2019s act of mutiny? \u201cHe was mad as hell! He didn\u2019t speak to me for years,\u201d he admits. Eventually he seemed to have softened. \u201cOne-time Prince came when [The Time] did a duo of shows in Minneapolis in 1996. \u201cHe really liked it. He was happy for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Back In Business.<\/h3>\n<p>From 2002 to 2005, Jaybe went to work security for the Harlem Globetrotters. But he returned to music when Morris phoned and asked him to come back and work for him. At one point he was working for the Globetrotters and as Morris\u2019 bodyguard simultaneously \u201cIt was just too much,\u201d he says. And then, in February of 2011, Jaybe suffered a stroke. He has since recovered, but the experience resulted in his slowing things down a bit. He still has a hand in the music biz. He has recently been invested in Minneapolis singer-songwriter Patrick Adams along with another project called Dayedream, composed of five singing sisters. Jaybe also hopes to help put on a string of Las Ve-gas shows with the latest incarnation of Mazarati. \u201cI\u2019ve had a good life,\u201d Jaybe says today, reflect-ing on his years in the business. Then adds, \u201cPrince and Morris made sure I did.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>(There\u2019ll Never B) Another Like Me.<\/h3>\n<p>Looking back on his time spent in Prince\u2019s employ, Jaybe expresses nothing but awe and gratitude. \u201cI had a good run. I got to work for Prince.\u201d  What does he think of Prince\u2019s legacy today? \u201cThere will never be another like him,\u201d Jaybe states. \u201cI\u2019ve never seen a person who could do everything, cut a song all by himself, cut a whole album in a week.\u201d He was in employ during the recording of classic cuts like \u201cRaspberry Beret\u201d and the Family album project. One of his most cherished memories is of Prince creating \u201cShe\u2019s Always in My Hair\u201d from scratch. \u201cI watched him write the song, program the drums, play guitar. I was blown away.\u201d <\/p>\n<h3>Legacy.<\/h3>\n<p>He has awesome stories of time spent with a musical legend, to be sure. But Jaybe was privy to more than the machinations of Prince\u2019s unparalleled creative chops. He witnessed first-hand his genuine concern for others, something that never abated till the day of his passing. \u201cThe Monday before [his death], Prince called me,\u201d he says. \u201cSaid I was going to be hearing from him soon.\u201d His former boss had learned of some financial hardship Jaybe was having after his stroke and was reaching out to offer help.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Jaybe says he feels committed to keeping Prince\u2019s legacy alive.\u201d This cat made me what I am today.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>\n***<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a9 PRN Alumni Foundation<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRN Alumni Foundation is comprised of the former employees of Prince, Paisley Park, Paisley Park Records, PRN Productions, NPG Records, Love4OneAnother, any and all of Prince\u2019s companies spanning his impressive nearly 40 year career.
