Memorable stories of 2012: The Revolution reunites to benefit heart health

This week we've been revisting some of the stories from the last year that our reporters found particularly memorable. This morning we're going to re-air an interview put together by the producer of Morning Edition, Jim Bickal.

In February, Prince's former band The Revolution reunited for a benefit concert in Minneapolis. On the eve of that event, Jim interviewed Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, who played with Prince at the peak of his popularity.

Jim says that unlike Prince, who has a reputation for being guarded and aloof when he is interviewed, he was struck by how candid and down to earth Wendy and Lisa were when he spoke with them in Los Angeles.
