Prince. A man fully in control of himself. His music. His destiny. Pay attention youngsters! He’s telling lots of truth here! In one word? DESIRE. He had it. He gave it. He embodied it. Respect to you Prince. You left the world FAR better by being in it. ❤
Brilliant Man. Musical genius. The one and only. We will never see another talent of his level again. There are not enough words in the English dictionary that could begin to describe how incredible this Man was!
Music in itself can have a very powerful effect on us. Add Prince into that mix and you’ve got something very special. I used to think I loved his albums until I saw him live for the first time. This might sound like an odd thing to say but he was better than his albums. He was never defined by his albums in the same way as other artists. Michael Jackson’s Thriller for example. They tried desperately to do the same to Prince with purple Rain. Fortunately there was never any chance that would happen. Sorry if I’m going on a bit but he really was my life for a long long time.
I could watch and listen to this genius all day and most days I do just that. What a great loss 😞💔 Prince was the soundtrack of my life, I will love this man always and forever 💜💜💜💜
PRINCE WAS MY MUSICAL MOZART GENIUS SINGER SONGWRITER AND PERFORMER OF ALL TIME!!! When I look at the jacket I have hanging in my bedroom, that Prince took off and gave me to wear, to dance for him in his suite at the Trump International Hotel at Columbus Circle in Manhattan (midtown-west), the night he invited me back to his double bedroom and dining room living room suite in the last month of the last century (December, 1999) I can’t believe what an amazing surreal night into day that was, and I has a souvenir he wore that still has his DNA inside of it too!!! I asked him about his earliest and also strongest musical artistic influences were, and hands down Prince said “Oh Sly and the Family Stone” and when I asked him what genre of music/ musical style and sound he loved most he said “FUNK, FUNK, AND THE WAY I FIRST HEARD FUNK FROM SLY STONE AND THE FAMILY IS WHAT REALLY GOT TO ME FIRST AND ITS WHAT I LOVE TO PLAY MOST” and then Prince went across the living room and invited me to come sit on the couch with him by the huge windows overlooking Columbus Circle, and listen while he played his forthcoming album “Rave Unto the Joy Fantastic” for me, and Prince was so adorable 😍 and humble when he was asking me not to make final judgment on his duet with Gwen Stefani on that record, that he hadn’t fully finished producing and fine tuning and mastered it to his level of perfection. I was so touched by what AN ABSOLUTE GENTLEMAN HE WAS WITH ME ALL NIGHT TILL I HAD TO LEAVE AT 8:00am to go do a stupid fitting and dress rehearsal for the oldest running soap opera “Guiding Light”...!!!🙄 Four years later, in 2004, he sent two of his security men into the audience, when I went to go see him perform at Madison Square Garden for the Musicology tour (my dear old friend and professional actor Chester Sims invited me to go with him, as he’s also a huge lover of Prince) and we were both shocked when they said “Ma’am Prince wants you to come on stage and dance with him and his band, and a few other ladies who have not once sat in their seats while he’s been playing. But you have to leave your bag and your phone with your friend here.” I was like “Prince can see past all the lights shining down on his stage to see who is dancing in his audience and who is not?!!” And they were like “Oh yeah Prince is always watching and sees everything and is always taking notes of what everybody is doing at his shows - but you better come now fast - it’s for the next set and he wants all of you on at the same time.” And so I gave Chester my jacket and bag, wallet keys and phone and was escorted down to the pit with about eight other ladies, and we had a blast dancing together onstage with our hero musical prodigy genius most talented musical artist of all time (in my humble opinion) THE ONE AND ONLY FUNKY PRINCE, together with Maceo Parker (who used to play with James Brown as part of his band for many years), Larry Graham from Graham Central Station, and Candy Dulfer who is this gorgeous sexy blonde saxophone player that I have listened to since I was a teenager in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 in West Africa, two years before coming to America in 1992 escaping the horrific ten year civil war we had, because Charles Taylor’s rebels were invading and stealing all our precious diamonds from upcountry by chopping off peoples arms and legs and heads off to get them from diamond miners and dealers and exporters - hence the term “BLOOD DIAMONDS” or “conflict diamonds” came from my home country of Sierra Leone... I never thought a small town girl like me would have some truly amazing experiences with the artist and musician and singer and performer I adored most of all in this world - to stand in the doorway of the bathroom and see Prince bent over the bathtub in the Trump International Hotel at Columbus Circle, running a bubble bath for me and using a washcloth with a bar of soap under the bath tap to make MORE SOAPY BUBBLES, because the hotel bath gel was not enough, is an unbelievable out of this world memory for me to personally have of him. I smile and I also cry every day I look at that jacket he took off and put on me after I got out of the tub - it’s painful to know he’s not here anymore because some asshole got him pressed Fentanyl instead of real Percocets like Prince was asking for one of his “entourage” to go and get him for his hip pain. (Being Jehovah Witness - thanks to Larry Graham converting him, they don’t believe in things like hip replacement surgery - you’re not supposed to have body parts or anything in your body that you were not born with... and so he self medicated with more and more Percocets and OXYCODONES and Dilaudid and Fentanyl Patches and the Lollipops and got hooked on a high tolerance level of Opioids and look at what happened...? We lost Prince and Tom Petty to Fentanyl!!!😭😪😭 I have had two total hip replacements surgeries, and did not need to stay on opiates for very long, and had he had the hip replacement surgery he would not have needed them for long either. I miss his presence and music and output and the joy of seeing him perform, as I am sure you do too Ebony!!! THERE WAS AND WILL ONLY EVER BE ONE PRINCE 👑!!!🕺🥳💃
Well said Ebony - he was the sound track of my teenage youth as well - there will only ever be one PRINCE TO REIGN LIKE HE DID!!!! 💜👑🕺🥳👑🕺🥳👑🕺👑💜 ♊️✝️💟♊️✝️💟♊️✝️💟 🎤🎸🎹🎼🎤🎸🎹🎶🎼🎵🕺💃🎤🎸💜👄🥂😎
@@miro115 Joan Miro you are welcome 🙏 I am a union actor and cabaret performer and a writer and editor, so for me GOD IS IN THE DETAILS!!! After Prince’s then wife (after they lost their baby) had me and my sister escorted out of their VVIP Circle I got to hang out with Morris Day and the Time, and was doing the dialogue from the movie “Purple Rain” where they do the back and forth “The Time is what? What Time is it?” - another surreal moment for me!!! Prince lives on in you and me and our love for his music - which was Prince’s first true love...💃🎤 Music 🎵 🎶 🎼🎤🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺
Coming up on 5 years and I still wish it was all a dream 😔 How can a Prince who was loved by millions die all alone in a big old palace? This breaks my heart 💔
i know that shit is crazy it prince's death still doesn't feel real to me 5 year anniversary of prince's death 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔👑🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 R.I.P. PRINCE BOO WE 💜 U😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
@@gabrielvictoria3364 as sad as that made me but I came to the same conclusion. We have to respect his wishes. I think ever since Vanity died he looked really sad even his playing was sad.
Prince didn’t make music for survival. He made music for substance and sustenance. He fought to stay fresh and cool with his ideas. No one and done over here.....ever!!!
I love this interviewer and of course the interviewee 💜. Prince took this one seriously I think, because he respected the man interviewing him the questions being asked made sense to him. Wonderful! And like everyone else I can listen to Prince's speaking voice for hours ☮💜
prince's speaking voice is so sooothing i can hear prince talk allday everyday as a matter of fact i'm actually an additct to he singing and speaking voice
This was a very good interview. He was poised and professional as one would expect. It's a real shame there isn't a course somewhere he would have taught before his passing. This was just the appetizer. It's obvious he figured some stuff out before many people did.
Absolutely. He was just starting to truly inhabit his role as elder statesman when we lost him. There will never be another person or musician like Prince. 💜
*One could write some course materials* from some of his writings. Combined writings may very well *equal a course* . Would only need a good fit for a teacher. *One that dear Prince would be proud of* . My opinion of course.
Only a real artist/boss can get away with playing a pentatonic-scaled-solo on a jazz tune...Very serious and professional interview where you can contemplate the humbleness, kindness and wisdom of this great man. Prince is and will always be my greatest idol.
Always eloquent xx Prince looked beautiful here, but he did look very thin, was 11 years b4 his passing. I just wish somebody could of been there for him to save him that night, my god he was adored the world over all of us would of been honoured to get him help or check on him when he was all alone...breaks my ❤
I've listened to a lot of Prince interviews, but somehow never listened to this one. Thanks so much for sharing. I just reviewed one of his reissues for a fairly big website, and my past month has been nothing but thinking about Prince. Even as I have to start thinking about other music, my mind always comes back to him and I feel like I could live in his world forever. I miss having him in the here and now, but he's left such a bounteous legacy that it sometimes feels like we could still hear from him at any moment.
God, I miss him so. His 🎶 music is timeless. I remember his first album: "For You." I was in love with him and his music. He spoke DA TRUTH about the music industry. There is a HUGE difference between an artist and a performer. He broke it down with such honesty and EXPERIENCE. He is so humble and spiritual. REST IN PEACE YOUR ROYAL BADNESS. 💜 💜
Every time I play his music or listen to his voice in interviews I smile for all the great memories and music, and I also cry that he is no longer with us... Prince wanted and asked for real prescription PERCOCETS and not fake Percocets that were really pressed Fentanyl pills and Prince didn’t know they were bootleg!!!
Exactly true! He trusted that the medication was what he needed and had been taking. I am a person who, because of an irreparable doctor error, live in severe pain everyday with no hope of ever getting rid of it. I report to a pain specialist monthly and go through all the hoops we are forced to go through to maintain my prescription. Prince was far too busy for all of that and with the opioid “crisis” (which is people mostly who take medication wrong) it has made it even harder for those in daily pain. I believe that played a big part in how his death played out. Broke my heart then, and still does…Prince was and still is my number one favorite of all time, fell in love with him in ‘78, I was 8. Im 51 now, and am eternally grateful for the ride he took us on!! 💜
Same with Petty…he had forgotten his pain medication for his severely broken hip on that last show and was panicking that he wouldn’t be able to perform…he had to be driven by golf cart to the stage etc be he could barely walk, yet adrenaline carried him that the 3 hr show, but afterwards he needs meds and had one of the techs try and look for Percocetsmfor after the show…some CUNT sold the, fentynal….Dana, his wife said he literally took the one pill and 40 minutes later she found him unconscious….awful
The part that he cough I was going to cry when he had cough he had touched my heart from years I’m 17 and I still love him as my friend but I all away think he could be my best dad ever he’s not my dad but I wish he was and he had to teach me everything like a father but I love him as a parent and friend
This was a great interview with him and the first time listening to it in its entirety as on other YT channels it had been spliced up and shortened here and there. Thanks for sharing this wonderful interview in its entirety! 👍💜
Prince knew about 9/11 before it happened. He said it in a previous concert prior to that day. Prince was well aware about gematria and how the elites move. That was smooth how he avoided speaking about what he said would happen. RIP KING🤴🏾
@Alex look up Prince: Osama bin ladin getting ready to bomb. Its a concert clip in the Netherlands he did back in 98 or 99. No one at tht time knew what he was speaking about.
@@mcart2735 Yes. I don't have any proof but Prince Rogers Nelson very well could of been a Mason himself? His art reflected a deep knowledge of the esoteric / occult wisdom & knowledge promulgated by the Freemasons. Now I'm NOT asserting that Prince definitely was a Mason. That said, his hand-symbols and "signing" (even subtly in this video) is evidence of some association / connection with that secret fraternity. How connected? I really don't know.
I liked when he said “the rules were written by those who don’t Really play music” and some need to be rewritten.. Music is an art that had become a big moneymaker. When you have a lot of money, fame and legacy…you go back to the beginning….the art. Like he said he went back to “basics, Minneapolis sound”
Such an insightful brother, I would have love to find out what gave him the insight at such a young age to know about owning his own music, most young artists are so happy to just be a part of the music business, they would’ve had someone read the contract, if it sounds good, signed me up not him he wanted to own his music at such a young age, I always wonder who schooled him to that, his dad, other musicians, or he just new to do that, such a great interview, can’t believe I’ve never seen it, glad I caught it.
Did Prince really said "The other systems uploading content that really doesn't belong to them and, uhh, it's like a smorgasbord" Smorgasbord ir the swedish word for a lunch (table) with everything you desire, a place where people just take what they want. Brilliant analogy 💜💜💜💜💜💜❤
How it must feel to be at the center of so much energy, tour after tour, just soaking it up and giving it back and creating something with the audience. That's how genius must work.
@@suzilici oh i know, but the execution of this particular one was brilliant … hes done similar before but this one wasnt as blatant as others ive seen
Prince being, of course, dead on in his "musicology," uses the Fender Telecaster for this amazing blues/jazz interlude. This is the Ax that all great bluesmen have used (apologies to Stevie Ray Vaughn) and it sounds amazing. What an amazing talent and personae...
Wish the interviewer would have gotten to ask his 9/11 question. I wanted to hear where he was going with that. One of the things I think about, when I see Prince today, is when they opened his vault. I as curious, but it felt wrong once I saw them open the door. It felt like the ultimate violation. The other parts of his home being shown, didn't give me the same feeling. Not sure why.
@Tony I agree. Seeing his dinner still on the table next to his sunglasses. All the stuff on his dresser. I think it felt like such a violation because of how private he was. It’s also what made it so intriguing. 🤷🏾♂️ He was music personified. And wherever he went, the people followed. Not many artist can announced a concert, in an arena, on a Monday for the upcoming Wednesday, and it sell out within hours.
I think in his answer he humbly explained that Elvis was a performer , and that he himself is influenced by ppl like James Brown , Earth wind and fire etc, true musicians and songwriters . no offence but that s how I read his answer to this. I guess he still loved the pompadour hairstyle though ;-)
This was a great interviewer who asked really interesting questions. None of that nonsense about the name change that Prince has answered over and over. Prince seemed really engaged with the interviewer and his responses were interesting. Thanks for posting this.
"You have to prince b4 you're king anyway" - Tony M, "My Name is Prince" I love how Prince smirked when the interviewer asked if that was an Elvis reference lol
That jazz piece was very cool. I like that he has jazz sax player Candy Dulfer in the band. I don't imagine any top tier musician would turn Prince down if they were asked to tour with him. I've been watching a lot of his interviews lately it and I like the 'real music by real musicians' tag line. These days it seems to be about making beats, autotune, and voice modulation. But can any of these artists play an instrument or sing without all the electronics? To me those are just tools. The talent should be the foundation on which to use the tools. One should be able to strip away those tools and still have something to work with and the way Prince used these opportunities to launch a shot across the bow of the music industry is great. . Owning your creation has been battle in that industry going way way back to shady label owners. Thanks to him, hopefully more artists have empowered themselves to control their own creations and their future as creators.
You realize people don't do interviews like this where it's strictly about the music, the business strategies that are intertwined with the music, and other opportunities. Not the tabloid gossip which is how they interview recording artists today. Now THIS is real journalism.
Tamie Bear Success can also cause misery. The trick is not to be surprised when you discover it doesn't bring you all the happiness and answers you thought it would.💜
He was a good cat.could swing his ass off! Living proof that the Grim Reaper don't give a DAMN!! I don't think he could play trumpet or trombone though not sax either. I think he played guitar,bass, drums and piano,and synthesizer.
Now, students, this is "Musiciology 101". Class is dismissed.

Music in itself can have a very powerful effect on us. Add Prince into that mix and you’ve got something very special. I used to think I loved his albums until I saw him live for the first time.

Q: "What makes your online purchasing platform different from all the others?"

Four years later, in 2004, he sent two of his security men into the audience, when I went to go see him perform at Madison Square Garden for the Musicology tour (my dear old friend and professional actor Chester Sims invited me to go with him, as he’s also a huge lover of Prince) and we were both shocked when they said “Ma’am Prince wants you to come on stage and dance with him and his band, and a few other ladies who have not once sat in their seats while he’s been playing.

This may be his best interview, great questions which I think he enjoyed answering. Shame it was cut short, but such is the way of things!
👑✌👑
It was cut short, because Prince didn't want to talk about 9/11.
Exactly Timothy !
In a day and age of digital illusions and throw away muzak, this man was a genuine one off, stone cold genius.

@@miro115 Indeed
💯👍
He's a good person.
The differentiation between Prince to Madonna and Michael Jackson; he’s a true musician!
Madonna plays synth, piano and guitar. But Prince is much better in that instruments.
The differentiation between those acts, is that Prince got nothing to do with those acts, damn!
@@recoverlostdata6756 lol, stop it.
@@frankzappa951 Yes she played that instruments in concert. But she played in very basic level.

“I like to believe that I’m 20 years old. I don’t count time”.
Maybe that’s why he didn’t have a will. 🤷♀️
This was a great interview with him and the first time listening to it in its entirety as on other YT channels it had been spliced up and shortened here and there. Thanks for sharing this wonderful interview in its entirety! 👍💜
Prince knew about 9/11 before it happened. He said it in a previous concert prior to that day. Prince was well aware about gematria and how the elites move. That was smooth how he avoided speaking about what he said would happen. RIP KING🤴🏾
Can u say or link the concert in which he said it ?
@Alex look up Prince: Osama bin ladin getting ready to bomb. Its a concert clip in the Netherlands he did back in 98 or 99. No one at tht time knew what he was speaking about.
@@wdynamite782 Prince knew because he traveled in that elite circle, he was told prior to the incident!
@@mcart2735 Yes. I don't have any proof but Prince Rogers Nelson very well could of been a Mason himself? His art reflected a deep knowledge of the esoteric / occult wisdom & knowledge promulgated by the Freemasons.
Now I'm NOT asserting that Prince definitely was a Mason. That said, his hand-symbols and "signing" (even subtly in this video) is evidence of some association / connection with that secret fraternity. How connected? I really don't know.
23:42 "You think I'm going inside that rabbit hole? I'm to smart for that"
Lol. Taxi for Mr. Nelson.👏👏😂😂
@@princebootlegchannel I always love how he avoided/worked unwanted questions. He was to cool!
I liked when he said “the rules were written by those who don’t Really play music” and some need to be rewritten.. Music is an art that had become a big moneymaker. When you have a lot of money, fame and legacy…you go back to the beginning….the art. Like he said he went back to “basics, Minneapolis sound”
👑👏👏👏👑
We miss and love you Prince ❤
Tries to get political at the end there Prince "time to head out"
Such an insightful brother, I would have love to find out what gave him the insight at such a young age to know about owning his own music, most young artists are so happy to just be a part of the music business, they would’ve had someone read the contract, if it sounds good, signed me up not him he wanted to own his music at such a young age, I always wonder who schooled him to that, his dad, other musicians, or he just new to do that, such a great interview, can’t believe I’ve never seen it, glad I caught it.
I'm glad ure glad.👌👁👏
Did Prince really said "The other systems uploading content that really doesn't belong to them and, uhh, it's like a smorgasbord" Smorgasbord ir the swedish word for a lunch (table) with everything you desire, a place where people just take what they want. Brilliant analogy 💜💜💜💜💜💜❤
He did.😏👁👏
Genius❤❤❤
Thank you so much for beautiful music.
ThankU for Saying ThankU 👑💜👑👁
How it must feel to be at the center of so much energy, tour after tour, just soaking it up and giving it back and creating something with the audience. That's how genius must work.
I like how Prince 🚶♂️ walk
He Saw the signs. There days the stats are out of teach. So you People think. Don't get tempted by the shiny Apple. Tracy says so.
Watched this again. A brilliant interview.
#PurpleRainForever 🙌🏾💜💜💜💜
Just want to hug him and kiss him
Thx for this great upload,think I've never seen this before,just loove it!💜💜
IT AIN'T OVER YET...........JUSTICE 4 PRINCE ☝🏼⚖🌂☂️☔🙏🏼🕊🕊🙏🏼
People study Prince andMichael Jackson at University now… brilliant
Jackson wasn’t a musician
How did he hear his musical cue from the stage while in an interview in a different room … haha … brilliant!!
His mind was music. Nothing else.👁🙏💜
@@princebootlegchannel so true!! 💜💜
The key here is the question he was asked right before he said that... It's all in the small details if you pay attention
@@suzilici oh i know, but the execution of this particular one was brilliant … hes done similar before but this one wasnt as blatant as others ive seen
@@Vikki-Waiting-victoriagrace true 😊
I can't believe it was 20 years ago. The brain just erases information about time....................
There's no such thing as time. Time is a constraint put there by mankind.👁🙏🕊
Thanks for posting this!!!!!!
No problem!! 👁🦋🕊
I LOVE this!
Prince being, of course, dead on in his "musicology," uses the Fender Telecaster for this amazing blues/jazz interlude. This is the Ax that all great bluesmen have used (apologies to Stevie Ray Vaughn) and it sounds amazing. What an amazing talent and personae...
That's not a fender telecaster. Prince used a hs Anderson mad cat.
Wow! it looks just like a Telecaster!!@@Nsurob
I love this older stype of Real Jazz. God its beautiful!!
Wish the interviewer would have gotten to ask his 9/11 question. I wanted to hear where he was going with that. One of the things I think about, when I see Prince today, is when they opened his vault. I as curious, but it felt wrong once I saw them open the door. It felt like the ultimate violation. The other parts of his home being shown, didn't give me the same feeling. Not sure why.
@Tony I agree. Seeing his dinner still on the table next to his sunglasses. All the stuff on his dresser. I think it felt like such a violation because of how private he was. It’s also what made it so intriguing. 🤷🏾♂️ He was music personified. And wherever he went, the people followed. Not many artist can announced a concert, in an arena, on a Monday for the upcoming Wednesday, and it sell out within hours.
So you know, that was Wayne Shorter's Footprints. Very nice blues based rendition.
That was a good interview
Genius
You are Amazing! I loved hanging out with you last night! What a Great Dream...
Play that funky music 🎶 🎵 Prince you were the best

G.O.A.T! 💜
Shame Prince mentioned Sony 'respected his career' only to have them stifle him. Rest In Peace musical genius!
Yeah they did to a degree but Mariah Carey dud get $100m contract with them.😏😂😂👁👑
T.M.I. isn't always bad🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
I would have given anything to sit and talk music with Prince like that. 16:09 I personally believe Prince was a huge Elvis fan. Rip Prince
I think in his answer he humbly explained that Elvis was a performer , and that he himself is influenced by ppl like James Brown , Earth wind and fire etc, true musicians and songwriters . no offence but that s how I read his answer to this. I guess he still loved the pompadour hairstyle though ;-)
@@globaltokyollc-f1322 correct Elvis was the machine that started idol and "fans" .... $$$$ over creativity
This was a great interviewer who asked really interesting questions. None of that nonsense about the name change that Prince has answered over and over. Prince seemed really engaged with the interviewer and his responses were interesting. Thanks for posting this.
Musicology!!!
👑👏👑😜
Wow I've never ever seen this interview. What genius music should not be structured or pre recorded more enjoyable that way. Brillant!!!
👁🎧💎👌🕊
5:44 "I'm trying to make a career out of this" ❤️
Humble and incomplete was his mind.👁🙏💜👑🐘🌻
"You have to prince b4 you're king anyway" - Tony M, "My Name is Prince"
I love how Prince smirked when the interviewer asked if that was an Elvis reference lol
That jazz piece was very cool. I like that he has jazz sax player Candy Dulfer in the band. I don't imagine any top tier musician would turn Prince down if they were asked to tour with him. I've been watching a lot of his interviews lately it and I like the 'real music by real musicians' tag line. These days it seems to be about making beats, autotune, and voice modulation. But can any of these artists play an instrument or sing without all the electronics? To me those are just tools. The talent should be the foundation on which to use the tools. One should be able to strip away those tools and still have something to work with and the way Prince used these opportunities to launch a shot across the bow of the music industry is great.
.
Owning your creation has been battle in that industry going way way back to shady label owners. Thanks to him, hopefully more artists have empowered themselves to control their own creations and their future as creators.
👏👌🙏👁👑
Thanks, I came to the comments to see if anyone had said the name of that great sax player at the start of the video. 💕
Good interviewer
The title of this video should be renamed to "Musicology Tour Sound-check & Interview"
Jeremey Pearson🎉🎉 hes music is a must you must enjoy
I Always Called Mr. Rogerrrrrr....Mr. Gemini! "What's UPPPP".
Nothing compares to you 💔💔😢
Eye miss u P.💜😢
Gawd his hands are beautiful.
You realize people don't do interviews like this where it's strictly about the music, the business strategies that are intertwined with the music, and other opportunities. Not the tabloid gossip which is how they interview recording artists today. Now THIS is real journalism.
He seemed sad in that interview. *Miss him* .
@@de-slaver247 Something about his eyes got to me too
He’s probably just tired
Love prince but sometimes i wish he'd just answer a question like an unevolved human..lol He had a song of his, he didnt like c'mon...
He's a cryptic Prince 👑😉✌💜👑
Miss his live shows
Definitely. 👁👌🎶🎵🎶🎵
Why do so many musicians who've been around for years hate the way the music business conducts themselves?
"Will it ever be over?" - Sad
Entropy will end it all.👁🕊🙏
Perfectly stated, in every way
So sick how he rocked that guitar forever

No, of course they don't have know REAL music! They're investers and accountants!

@@EmmyV2002 you better not
Prince's 90's style was way better than his 1980's style.
👌👏👏👑
He was a good cat.could swing his ass off! Living proof that the Grim Reaper don't give a DAMN!! I don't think he could play trumpet or trombone though not sax either. I think he played guitar,bass, drums and piano,and synthesizer.
🎼🎚🎧👑
15:00 Prince was hysterical
