PrinCe and the Minneapolis story, is the best thing to ever come through the western world. Thank God these brothers are still alive, to share these GOLDEN stories with us! Everyone involved, was funky funny and interesting. I personally feel we've learned our colloquialisms, and idiosyncrasies from these people. I know i may sound crazy, but God truly blessed us with this whole movement.
this was the perfect way to wake up this beautiful sunday morn...a pot of strong coffee and childhood memories of Prince and his pals. memories told in a loving way, vivid as a movie. thank you Mr. Jackson, i will buy your book when it is ready! Mr. Dean, great show as always!
@@mdean Your presence in this forum and with your approach in interviews is so welcome and appreciated. You find the best people of Prince's past to talk about what IS also part of his legacy. Its allows us to know where he came from and all how it was a part of him becoming who we came to admire. The greatest artist of his era. These stories also for me anyway, being of his generation...its easier and welcoming in dealing with the missing of him. And the grief of the loss. Its also part of a great African American story. Thank you...
Terrance........I love the pictures you paint with your words. I will be watching for your book. You are an awesome story teller sir. I LOVE the "before he was Prince" stories. The REAL him. Thank you sincerely. I can't say enough or express myself fully. Just THANK YOU
All those guys that grew up with Prince, are the ones who should do a documentary on Prince. No movie with some actor trying to portray him should Ever be done! He was one of a kind. Period!
i met Morris Day and Jellybean in an airport in 2009. i was right behind them while checking luggage thru security. crazy, i was listening to my iPod. i was listening to the song 'Tricky". i had brief conversation with Jellybean. very cool talkative approachable guy.
I would love to see these particular stories on the big screen in movie theaters around the country. This is my generation 70's era to 80's era music and more... Cooley High, The Wonder Years, Lol yeah Prince "Stand By Me"...book reference. Coming of age movies are magical when written, produced, casted and directed well.
personally, i think that if Prince could've had true friends around him like Terrance, Andre and Morris, he would not have been "found unresponsive" in an elevator at the end.
Good interview, would love to hear more. Remember talking to Terry in a baby Mommas living room. (KG) Terry knows who I’m talking bout.. Just a cool down to earth, funny Brother. Much love Terry, keep telling your story, millions would love to hear it.
Oh.. You had the patience to sit through this! No need for someone to "summarize "for you this time around...as in the Jesse Johnson related pod cast. As for me , my thoughts on this interview...likewise.
This was the best interview about Prince and Grand Central. Terry you're the only person who's speaking the real about Skipper. Once you're a commodity to the industry they pick you're wife you're friends and your music. Then you left with only thw music and they take that away.
Yet another.......GREAT AWESOME MAGNIFICENT interview! Thank You! Good stuff! When there is a Prince Movie...It's essential they have this part of Prince's life!
Wow! As so many others have said here, Terry is just the best storyteller. I enjoyed every minute of this. Some of his stories had me laughing out loud, while others were simply very enlightening.
Excellent stuff here. I'm at the office, editing, and am getting lost in this brilliant conversation. I'll certainly get the book, too. My only disappointment is that this episode isn't three hours! I could listen to this all day. Thank you, Mr. Jackson. Thank you, Mr. Dean.
Prince just wanted to be loved yall that is why he was so arrogant because he had a special gift to share with the world. After his daddy John Nelson threw him out at 12 he was alone and he wanted to be noticed.
@Y.T. Sobriquet How old would you expect Prince to sound, if he was still alive."Think about that for a second". I doubt he would sound like an older man.They were both the same age. Black don't crack, and I guess you can say the same about our voices.🤣
@@BassGods Nah. Prince never sounded youthful in the energetic and exuberant way this guy does. Prince almost always spoke in a more calm and reserved manner.
That's a real keeping it real interview,the black side of Minneapolis where that was shown here.the purple rain movie was truly alot of make believe,terrence Terry Jackson keeps it real and great memories,this Interview feels straight out of "Cooley high
Amen Mr. Maxx........People don't realize how Racist Minneapolis Is....Lethal! And the Blacks from the Hood of Chicago who came for Welfare did not help....
Wow; I actually listened to the whole Podcast! Kudos... It’s great that he actually had a normal childhood/adolescence. The industry, as evil as it is, probably played a major part of him not acknowledging that era of his life.
@@Einhpets And had control of his own publishing, from the beginning.That's actually saying he never had to worry about being broke "ever" again. These young and up and coming artists need to learn how to control their own destiny (financially).
I’m glad they stuck things out...They belong together...They are the men who was there...All of them. What would things be without any one ☝️ of them....
Prince lost himself in Success. Sometimes we leave people behind that we need to keep in touch with. We judge ourselves pretty hard as we get older. Even though Prince was a Beast! He lost his humanity in a lot of ways. Regardless Prince will always be the badest man ever period when it comes to music. Thanks Terry and much love to Prince.
Sue Anna released "Make it Through the Storm" (which Prince composed with lyrics by Chris Moon, but Prince gave it to Chris in exchange for "My Love is Forever" which Moon wrote the lyrics for.)
It's an unreleased outtake called Data Bank from around 85 or 86. It was released by The Time in 1990 and it didn't sound anything like the Prince version.
These guys sound like they had the best time and memories....just like so many of us growing up in the 70's....the neighborhood was the best then...and parents did not care who you belonged to your butt was theirs if you messed up.....all the neighbors could whip up back then...and you better not threaten to tell your Momma or Daddy cause the person whipping you would remind you they already had permission...
I'm a fan of Prince since 78' Soft and Wet. This is the best interview I've ever heard from about the real brothers he hung with. This is the brother that he didn't want to tell it. Good,funny, and wild 70's stories. I can see it because I am the same age as you guys but from Gary,Indiana. I get it. Beautiful stories Terry. I'm buying your book too. When is the release?
This was one outstanding interview Tarrence you one talented story teller have a lovely voice too sound like 27 years old God bless you and your family you had the real fame lifestyle with out fake Hollywood that why Prince is dead you done real charity along with your good kind mom that Prince never ever got over industry don't let stars be with real friends and family only fake handlers are with them they all die alone
I wounder why Prince didn't won't to remember his Childhood stories!!! I know he's was private but he keep to much in side his sole,he needed to open up about his self. Maybe he would of be a happier man!!! He just looked sad at time's and lonely !!! From listening to some of the Guy's he grow up with, they had happy time's together,I believe Prince never looked back on his life !!! He did say he doesn't look back he stay in the now.... I just wish it was different for him.
I think it was too painful for him to look back on a lot of his childhood memories because I think he had traumatic experiences coupled with some good ones but he felt abandoned growing up I believe and the strained relationshi relationship with his parents took a toll on him
THIS STORY OF PRINCE AND HIS GANG WAS PHENOMENAL !!!💫💫💫THIS REAL SHIT 🎤🎼AND LOVE 💕 JUST PICTURING PRINCE,MORRIS,ANDRE,AND TERRANCE JACKSON WHO TOLD THIS STORY SO INTERESTING 👍🏼 MY GOD!THIS WAS HOW THIS WAS.TOLD SO RAW ! IN OTHER WORDS PRINCE WENT AFTER IT,,, HE COULD HAVE WENT THE OTHER WAY ,,AND HAVE NO PRINCE AT ALL ,,!! HE HAD A TOUGH STRONG LIFE WITH WISDOM MORE TO IT BUT SHORT 😲 AND LOTS OF KNOWLEDGE FROM GOD 🙏🏼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎸🎸🎸🎤🌹🌹🌹OKAY.... PRINCE RIP 🌹🌹WE LOVE 💕 U 🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🌹🌹🌹🌹AND NEVER FORGET YOU 😘
The part where he was going to dock $5.00( that seemed to be a thing with him with other Musicians if they messed up during a concert he would dock their pay) and then he threw a comb that stuck in the wall.I love this interview.
I'm 68 lived on Oliver. Went to Bryant Jr. Lincoln Jr. North. The Cassanovas featuring Edward Brown on Fender Bass, John Jefferson on guitar, Tony Williams on Drums and Dixon was the visionary. I played bass and got to join in on some of the practices. I moved to Boston in 71. Larry Brown I found out on internet had a group as well. Just a side note RL Hugger of Next moms was at Lincoln Jr. Mr. Ribs owned by Levy T. Powell was my first job at 14. Really miss everyone.
The 70's was the best time to be raised in the black community I remember being snatched up by a Nieghbor lol and her calling my mom and I got my ass whooped! LMAO 😂!
yes for sure I loved growing up in the 70s in DC...on our blocks everyone could get you straight and whip your butt....it was a community thing...and running back and forth to each others house...yes it was the best time back then in chocolate city DC
I like prince we lost a angel but I've heard Andre cymone as well it seems prince changed after the fame and fortune he was basically homeless and got support from the neighborhood and really turned after stardom its sad 😥

My favorite by far. I could listen to him all day tell stories
no doubt! making my day listening to this....was in a bad mood now he has me smiling and laughing at only 30 min into it.
Prince was special and he knew it too 😂 💜
Hearing his childhood/early adult stories are the best because they seem sincere. Thanks Terry. Thanks podcaster
That was one of the best interviews I ever heard. Made me proud to grow up Black. Miss those days.
this was the perfect way to wake up this beautiful sunday morn...a pot of strong coffee and childhood memories of Prince and his pals. memories told in a loving way, vivid as a movie. thank you Mr. Jackson, i will buy your book when it is ready! Mr. Dean, great show as always!
Terry is a real brother...thanks for being a true brother to Prince...
Old friends are the best. The truth. Told in love. Thanks Mike for getting to those who came up with Prince.

Prince,Terrance,Morris and Andre are really very funny guys with lots of comedy, it must be a hell of laugh around them that time
Ohhh yeah, for SURE. I heard that they all not only competed with each other musically, but comedically too.😁

I agree 100%.
Yup! And if they all wrote a book on their experience, I'd buy it quickly.👌

Thanks for sharing your great memories. I grew up in the same era and can relate to the way we created fun/adventures from our simple surroundings
He has an excellent memory to recall names and songs like he does after so many years...Great interview!!!!
This was priceless. I loved it. Thank you!

😘
N'importe quoi, Prince avait 57 ans, longtemps après cette époque, ils n'étaient plus aussi proche pour vivre ensemble... toi tu vis avec tes amis ?
sad but possible ????
That's possible, but he didn't have an addiction to Pain Killers of which the last pill that he took was tainted.
Facts!!!
Very nice, Thanks for sharing your memories...appreciated.
Good interview, would love to hear more. Remember talking to Terry in a baby Mommas living room. (KG) Terry knows who I’m talking bout.. Just a cool down to earth, funny Brother. Much love Terry, keep telling your story, millions would love to hear it.
These stories need 2 be a movie. Great stuff TTJ.
What a cool pic!!
Beautiful interview 💜
The shoe hitting P in the head has me dying 😭😭😭😭
Him tap dancing like Fred Astaire has me in stitches
Prince had a black child's up bringing. It's why he made it! Stardom separated him from his true friends
These stories are Great!
Amazing interview!

My Mom could throw anything.....a shoe....a stick of butter...a wooden spoon🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Can't wait to read your book Terry
This guy is 60 but his voice and energy sounds like he’s in his 30s. Btw that New Birth song he was referring to was called “Dream Merchant”.
Great comment! Totally agree!!
True sounds so young

@@AntwhaleNearfar I know what you mean. More laid back. I was just saying age doesn't always factor into what a person supposed to sound like.
I look forward to the book... Get to it
It's after 4 am and I had to listen till the very end. So compelling! Thanks man!
This was great. Both of U
Thank you Terry for the wonderful stories. It took me wayyyy back. I love you for this? 🙏🏾
This interview is amazing.
Wonderful memories!😁 Awesome podcast!👍
I will always Love My Black Prince of Music. He is an ENIGMA....ASE'
Great interview. Makes a lot sense that these are Prince’s origins. That was the community back then all around the country.
Great stories! I really enjoyed listening to this!

Terrence book would be fire I would sooooooo buy his book OMG
Incredible
Really enjoyed this podcast 💜. Prince was surrounded with people who cared about him 🙏
I believe Prince dealt with Abandonment and Rejection early on in his life. Hence, why he didn't have many close friends later in his life.
He said that in his own memoir yes he definitely dealt with his childhood trauma which greatly affected him emotionally and mentally
Idk why I like the music in this ad but it always makes me dance & so does the Podcast intro. Ty
Thank you 🙏🏽 I have to keep coming back to this podcast ☝️
I’m glad they stuck things out...They belong together...They are the men who was there...All of them. What would things be without any one ☝️ of them....
haha omg I'm only 8 minutes into this and Terrance Jackson has me almost in tears laughing lol...what a character man!! Sounds like a cool dude! =)
haha loved listening 2 this!!!
I appreciate them....

Prince was a part of, yet constantly fought against: the illuminati. He was in a different place, after he signed his music CONtract.
you would never know he was a really real black dude that enjoy the 70s
Sue Anna released "Make it Through the Storm" (which Prince composed with lyrics by Chris Moon, but Prince gave it to Chris in exchange for "My Love is Forever" which Moon wrote the lyrics for.)
What is the opening music? I love it!
It's an unreleased outtake called Data Bank from around 85 or 86. It was released by The Time in 1990 and it didn't sound anything like the Prince version.
Willow...I saw Andres C interview in Missouri
20:18. TJ is taking about Neal Schon, later of Journey fame -he was Carlos’s guitarist in Santana’s early days.
1970's. Was a good years
These guys sound like they had the best time and memories....just like so many of us growing up in the 70's....the neighborhood was the best then...and parents did not care who you belonged to your butt was theirs if you messed up.....all the neighbors could whip up back then...and you better not threaten to tell your Momma or Daddy cause the person whipping you would remind you they already had permission...

When he said John was doing his own thing and didnt have time for Prince how sad smdh

I feel like these early days need to be a movie. At least a tv movie like New Edition.

I wish you would have asked him about the songs "Schoolyard" and "Coco Boys"

Make this story a movie
Dammmm right Terrance great story teller
