As a devoted husband and proud father of four, including two autistic sons, Billy shares how Prince’s music gave him the courage to express emotion, embrace vulnerability, and find his voice as both an artist and an advocate for the special needs community. Together, Chris and Billy explore how Purple Rain became more than just a record — it became a lifeline, a source of strength, and a reminder that artistry and advocacy can go hand in hand. Stay tuned to the end of the episode for a special performance of “Only You Can Save Me” by Chosen Family — the new musical collaboration between Billy Mann and Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men.
