I love the response Prince gave to a reporter who wouldn't give up on asking him about his sexuality. His response? "Are you making an offer? " The male reporter immediately let him know that no, of course not. Princes response? "Then why would you care who is in my bed?" And when he was asked about why he wore the high heels, ruffles, and mascara? "Because the women love it"
So that was his response when people questioned if he were gay?! 🤦🏽♀️... I read somewhere were he said " Introduced me to your woman and let her decide if I'm gay or not " 😄💁🏽♀️💕
@@cassandradenise3037 Not saying it's his general response when questioned if he was gay. That was just his response to that one reporter. *shrugs* I am sure that reporter wasn't the only one to ask.
@@truthbetoldineverwasyours8576 I know love I was just saying that I never knew his ** Prince's** response was what the first commenter stated : " Are you making an offer?" or why would the interviewer ask him that question "?!... I always thought his response was " Introduced me to your woman and let her decide if I'm gay or not " >> IT WAS MY MISTAKE FOR THINKING THAT THIS WHOLE TIME
He was asked why he wore make up and dress the way he did and he said “because the girls dig it.” Being one of those girls I completely agree. His eyes are gorgeous!
I think he was straight. He was certainly reputed to be a "busy" boy!! 80s...."new romantic" pop stars wore make-up. Prince was in a genre of his own, and he wore make-up.
No woman ever thought he was gay. Though he in no way would be someone I would normally find attractive, he was the exception. The man exuded sensuality and carnality. He was sexy in a small package. Never in my life have I found make up on a man even cute but I barely notice it on him. Remember, in that time frame, many wore eyeliner etc that did heavy metal. I was never an ultra fan but I did like alot of his work. He was extraordinarily talented. He was a PRINCE.
BP. It was just a different era, a different way of thinking. I was born in 1970 and grew up with 80's music and all we cared about was, do you sound good, do you have an interesting music video on MTV and when will you be in town so we can watch you. (not necessarily in that order) If you look cool, sound cool, and are cool..... were whatever you want, clothes and makeup!!!!!
Prince dated Carmen Electra. In fact, he gave her the name “Carmen Electra”. In 1995, he did a song that’s supposed to be about her called “I Hate U” about the end of their relationship. One of his best songs too, hopefully you will check that out one day.
I went to the Purple Rain tour concert & he was so AMAZINGLY TALENTED. This was one of my all time favorite concerts, I will always be a HUGE fan! Of course I always had a crush on him, he oozes sexiness like no other! His big beautiful eyes were so expressionable when sings! He's VERY missed. RIP Prince
First of all, the 70s and 80s ushered in the era of unisex and androgyny where male and female artists were blurring the line of masculine and feminine. It actually goes back even further to Little Richard, the architect of rock n roll. Little Richard in the 50s and 60s wore eyeliner, lip liner, and processed hair. Prince was an enigma, and he played up the fact he was not afraid of his feminine side. In his song "Controversy" he sang "am I black or white, am I straight or gay?" He was straight, but he often wrote music from the female perspective. This is why he produced his girl groups, Vanity 6, Apollonia 6, and pop artist Sheena Easton as an outlet for his songs only women could get away with. Prince had several alter egos: Camille, Jamie Starr, and Joey Coco. Check out his song "If I Was Your Girlfriend" from his concert film, Sign O the Times... it'll blow you away!
Prince was Prince. He was a straight, religious black male, coming out from the '70s into the 80s culture, when artist were pushing boundaries. Today he would be forced to be either gay or non binarie because of his look. You should react to his Kiss video. Is really funny and you could admire his hability as a dancer... On high heels 😅
Hey y'all, Prince was in and after, twisted sister, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler, they all were in the Gender Bender personas. They had the makeup male/female clothing and some were really not attractive but charismatic flamboyant and stood on the tip of the fence and owned it. Dude Prince dated: Hold your hat Carmen Electra, Kim Basinger, Sheila E., Bria Valente, Sheena Easton, Vanity, Apollonia Kotero, Nona Gaye Marvin's daughter and many others married twice. This 5' 2" dude could hit the highest bar in the room in that rarefied air. Damn you can get in line for number 2.
😂😂😂Prince was a beautiful man…and could take any woman before you blinked an eye…up until his demise he exuded sexuality, mystery, desire…He appreciated women for their beauty, intelligence and talent…Yes he did date Carmen for a few years…listen to “Eye Hate U” x written specifically for Carmen (although then girlfriend also his first wife #maytejannellgarcia is featured in the video.
He dated some big name s8n music, he was a notorious lady's man who scored women your never imagine, Sheila E, Sheena Easton, Stevie N8cks, and bunches of others.
Prince hooked up with Kim Basinger. Eminems mom in 8 mile. I saw Purple Rain in a Ft Worth Tx movie theater. We were the only 3 white people there. I was offered some ripple from a very beautiful girl. I was like no I better not. Lol it was an experience. RIP Prince. Thanks for the music.
Prince was getting for action from the ladies then most other celebrity dudes from what I heard. You should look up the stories about him from Eddie an Charlie Murphy and the others from that era... It's crazy
in the 80's all the rock band males wore tons of makeup. My brother would put on his eyeliner to go clubbing and he got plenty of girls. I think you need to have a look at the glam rock bands.
It was an 80s thing. Prince was like the Sun King (French Emperor of Versaille fame) mixed with Glam Rock. Motley Crue wore high heels and fishnet stockings and bad makeup like cheap street walkers. New York Dolls Wore full drag. Most (all?) of them were completely straight. Bands with Gay members mostly hid. Judas Priest and REM came out late - although Priest's Heavy Metal Tom of Finland style is pretty obvious looking back on it. Famous Bi rockers David Bowie and Freddie Mercury had their avante-garde Art Rock costume early on to get attention but wore them less as their fame grew. Boy George was the most famous real gender-bending fashion icon in 80s music. He first hid his identity by claiming to be bi on Johnny Carson (Bi was still considered "amanly") but eventually just let himself be himself.
Like others have mentioned it wasn't uncommon for male artists to wear makeup in the 80's. As for Prince most of us didn't question his sexuality. I know from my point of view as a female, when I look at Prince all I see is gorgeousness & one very sexy man 🔥
Prince played 28 instruments. He was married twice to 2 woman. Watch David Bowie in the 60’s. Her ware more make than Prince.. this is from 1985. He released 49 albums. Prince Discovered Carmen and wrote and produces her only album. It was was rap album. He wrote the brake up song I Hate U about Carmen. There is a video for the song. The video features his wife Matye.
Hes picking up on the new wave look post punk..very much channeling the dandy look from the 18th century..lots of frills and lace. A whole genre you should check out. Adam Ant. Spandau Ballet. Brian Ferry. Ultra Vox..
Bro... We have told you over and over that Prince was 💯 percent straight. He was very feminine! But he was completely into women. And makeup was very common in the 80s. P.S. He did date Carmen Elektra. He's actually the one who gave her that name.
Prince Rules! He was always next level. Prince has a lot of songs. He has been gone for a while now. He still has videos and music coming out. and BP it is not pronounce Beret it is pronounced Ber -ray Not being critical just letting you know.
@@bryankelly8979 his biggest mistake was to pay attention to Larry Grahams' brain washing and end in a Cult... I wonder how much impact it had on his physical health 😥
He was on Soul Train. They tried to interview him & he froze up & said he'd never do another one. He did through. He agreed to this guy's interview but only if they done it in the car & he could only use what Prince told him. He did do a couple more. But not many! You should watch that clip on Soul Train.. Or was it American Bandstand? I think it was Soul Train. It's a trip watching that!!
@@bryankelly8979 Yeah, he was definitely all over the place, at various times. Pro-American, Anti-American, pro-gay, anti-gay, the most sexist misogynist ever, to the biggest pro-woman-ally. And even at times Quite Racist. Like Incredibly racist. (against whites, which I guess the Left would probably not have a problem with.) But it was mostly just against white males (not white women, which he had Noooo problem with. Couldn't get enough of them!! In fact.) LOL. He was quite something.
Is it me, or are we trying nowadays to put more labels on people.. back then I think it was " just" the way he looked, that was Prince, with great music ! 🎶🎤💜
I always think of Prince as the definition of a free spirit. His talent and creativity were second to none. And he put on the best Super Bowl halftime show of all.
True indeed but all that ‘men with makeup’ stuff started in the early 1970s with Marc Boland from T.Rex, David Bowie and other glam rockers. Could probably take it back further with Little Richard in the late ‘50s… Regardless, it’s funny to see people trip over stuff like that ‘cause those are the dudes who were getting all the chicks back in the day. They LOVED that shit. Haha.
@@candacemay7187 I was thinking that as well, but pretty sure he said his dad was air force. Green Beret's are army. I preferred being able to wear berets indicating I was assigned to an airborne unit although I never went to jump school or got wings...lol.
There will never be anyone who could ever come close to replicating Prince. That man was straight, original, and so damn talented. He could play so many instruments. He was a very unique and beautiful human being and the world is at a loss since he's been gone. This is a rabbit hole you should definitely fall into. You won't be disappointed.
I know. Some younger people think very linearly, like if things are more open or relaxed now, they must have been less so in any given time in the past. Nope! Society leaning more conservative or open/free goes up and down over time. We had the roaring 20s then the uptightness & conformity of the 50s, then a swing back to freedom to be who you are in the 60s and beyond. I was in high school and college in the 80s and it was great!
he's a performer, performers wear makeup...100% straight and 100% original! Do yourself and your daughter a favor and check out his performance on the Muppet Show
Prince had a very androgynous wardrobe. He didn’t give an F. He got all the women. Wendy and Lisa are a huge part of his journey, they’re both in this video. His wardrobe was confusing to everyone until you finally stopped trying to interpret it, and just accept that this is/was Prince. He never changed his style to match the times. He was always going to be Prince.
As were Appolonia Kotero and Sheila E. They may not all have been friends with benefits, I don't know, but he was instrumental in boosting all of their careers. I do believe that he was sexually amibiguous appearing for professional reasons. Pegasus, as a recording artist, you need to check out his titanic fight with the recording industry. For a number of years the fight resulted in his calling himself "The artist" or "the artist formerly known as Prince". To shorten his name, he used a stylized question mark with a squiggle.
Prince's androgyny was very attractive to women. He challenged typical masculine stereotypes, but was very masculine to women. He gave a lot of female musicians opportunity.
100% straight, even if you don’t react to it, listen to Get Off…a reaction would be great tho😂😂😂. You’ll get it then. Prince was a MUSICAL GENIUS. Most of his music, studio recordings are all him. ALL. All of the instruments, vocals, all him. He was a LADIES MAN. He was with some of the most beautiful women of the time: Shelia E Vanity Apollonia Kim Bassinger Mayte Garcia Carmen Electra List goes on… Prince was Jehovah’s Witness, so he didn’t believe in blood transfusions. He desperately needed both hips replaced due to decades of dance and those high heels. However hip replacement surgery frequently necessitates the need blood transfusion, so he refused surgery. As a result, the level of pain he was in needed a lot of pain killers. Was so sad to lose him the way we did.
Prince, first off was a musical GENIUS, but he is the literal definition of “Eccentric Enigma” and it only added to his charm as a performer. RIP Prince!!
Prince was straight.. and sexy AF! He played all the instruments!!! Like 27! He was my favorite artist in the 80’s. I found him in 10th grade - his controversy album. Amazing sexy artist
@@vovindequasahithat wasn’t the point.. he COULD play all the instruments .. and in the old days pre his 1999 album he often did play the instruments for his tracks. The point here is that he was one talented dude.
He wrote mega hits for women - “I Feel for You” by Chaka Khan, “Manic Monday” by The Bangles, “Stand Back” by Stevie Nicks, “Glamorous Life” by Sheila E., “With this Tear” by Celine Dion, and under the alias Joey Coco, Prince wrote “You’re My Love” for Kenny Rogers.
I was talking with my coworker the day we found out Prince (RIP) died. She said"I love Strawberry Beret". I said " you mean Raspberry Beret. 2 minutes of silence. She said "yes" when i asked if she was fact checking me. Lol. I told her my favorite Beatles song is " Raspberry Fields".
Wanna have your mind blown 🤯 “Little Nicky,” he was just his own thing and I believe he is completely straight. I could be wrong. And he just has the type of eyelashes and brows and facial structure that makes him look like he is wearing makeup when he is not.
Prince was one of those artists like David Bowie who just let his freak flag fly and made all of the rest of us who felt a little different know that was okay. A lot of Prince's lyrics reference the fact that he is "not a woman, not a man" but he had many relationships with women and was married once.
Omg glad you found this one. you have to remember the time his stuff was made, and a lot of the guys in bands wore eyeliner, flashy clothes, and big hair 😂
Never heard that Prince was gay or bi sexual. I never saw a Prince in just regular street clothes. Always elaborate garments with beautiful patterns, capes etc His interviews are always interesting. You never knew what to expect. I think he designed his clothes too
Prince was amazing. You should watch Prince's Superbowl performance. Performing with his electric guitar, in the rain! Prince, you are much missed, and much loved. RIP
Prince was asked why he wore high heels and he simply said " because women love them ". He was running parallel and possibly a little ahead of other similar movements around the world that were anti butch rock. He was reported to have affairs with some beautiful women but never felt the need to define his sexuality.
Dude, there's a whole genre of glam rock where everyone wore makeup and had big hair. Poison was a notable one. And before that, Gene Simmons from Kiss claims to have slept with over 2000 women, Makeup and wild clothes are just a part of rock and roll. Also, it's ber-ay, like that sorbet you were talking about, not a hair barrette.
Prince is a legend and genius! You have only begun to scratch the surface of his talent! Check out his hits, Pop Life, Delirious, I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man, Adore, Sexy Mutha F’cker, and more! As far as anyone knows Prince was straight and many musicians back in the eighties wore makeup! Most of the New Wave artists and Glam rockers wore makeup! David Bowie, DuranDuran❤, Poison, Adam Ant, and many more! I was a teen in those days and believe me all my favorite straight male rock idols wore makeup at that time! Later on Prince along with the others stopped wearing makeup because Fashion and styles changed! He was just sexy as heck and has some nasty songs like Darling Nikki, Head, Erotic City, Cream, and more! Check those out too!😂❤❤
It was the 80's. There were tons of artists who wore tons of makeup and flambouyant clothes. Micheal Jackson had the glove and his famous red leather get up; Twisted Sister; KISS; David Bowie; Boy George; nearly all of new-wave and pop-synth.
Prince was and still is an icon. He could play every instrument. Mega talented. He was a Player!! Go watch the movie Purple Rain. It has your answers. He wrote the movie, full soundtrack which was the album Purple Rain. He loved Little Richard, hence the makeup and dance moves. Let’s Go 🤘🏻🇺🇸💯
Exactly. We didn't pay half as much attention to what other people did, as people do today. "You do you" was seriously how we thought!! So weird how people think they started that thought process! Haha! Nah, we truly didn't care, and we were friends with everyone!!!
Actually prince was 100% straight…he was with and dated some of the most beautiful women in the world.
He even wrote a song about it 😁
Though the women you see on stage with him (Wendy and Lisa) were dating each other. Maybe they're fouling up the gaydar. 😂
While wearing heels.Dude was a pimp.
@@FahqTyrants eff yeah he was!!! He claimed the women loved his heels 👠
5 foot 2 inches tall, wore high heels and makeup and still one of the sexiest men in music
100% I'm still drooling over him. Sexy, beautiful man! ❤❤❤❤
to this day it is said Prince was the only guy to go to a party with high heels and lipstick and steal your woman
He had IT and more IT!!!!!!!!
He wore mascara, not lipstick.
@@keristory5978eyeliner, maskara
That's it
And not a few of your men.
He was an enigma! Go listen to Erotic city

He was the most feminine masculine pimp singer guitar player awesome mf to ever walk the earth.
I think he was straight. He was certainly reputed to be a "busy" boy!!
80s...."new romantic" pop stars wore make-up. Prince was in a genre of his own, and he wore make-up.
You should definitely check out Gold by Prince. Absolute classic. Diamonds and Pearls another classic by Prince
Around the world in a day was such a great album...
"1999" is another huge Prince classic..

39 albums in 39 years. Times 10-18 songs. Some catalogue.

Make no mistake Prince was as straight as they come, and had the baddest women!
Prince became very religious in his life. He has talked about it in interviews. He was definitely into women only.
What you need to do is pour yourself a glass of wine and react to Do Me Baby from the Controversy album.
❤ His confidence was one large factor of his sex appeal.
Prince was Prince.

I recommend "Scandalous." For me that is peak Prince and his effect on the ladies.
Hey y'all, Prince was in and after, twisted sister, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler, they all were in the Gender Bender personas. They had the makeup male/female clothing and some were really not attractive but charismatic flamboyant and stood on the tip of the fence and owned it.

There will never be anyone who could ever come close to replicating Prince. That man was straight, original, and so damn talented. He could play so many instruments. He was a very unique and beautiful human being and the world is at a loss since he's been gone. This is a rabbit hole you should definitely fall into. You won't be disappointed.
Guys absolutely wore makeup in the 80's. It wasn't weird, it was awesome!
Absolutely!!!
I know. Some younger people think very linearly, like if things are more open or relaxed now, they must have been less so in any given time in the past. Nope! Society leaning more conservative or open/free goes up and down over time. We had the roaring 20s then the uptightness & conformity of the 50s, then a swing back to freedom to be who you are in the 60s and beyond. I was in high school and college in the 80s and it was great!
Has he never seen hair metal bands? LOL
Rock and roll
Gen X here. Fluidity was brilliant in our time, too, youngbloods.
he's a performer, performers wear makeup...100% straight and 100% original! Do yourself and your daughter a favor and check out his performance on the Muppet Show
Starfish & Coffee
@@scapito My favorite!!
Prince had a very androgynous wardrobe. He didn’t give an F. He got all the women. Wendy and Lisa are a huge part of his journey, they’re both in this video. His wardrobe was confusing to everyone until you finally stopped trying to interpret it, and just accept that this is/was Prince. He never changed his style to match the times. He was always going to be Prince.
As were Appolonia Kotero and Sheila E. They may not all have been friends with benefits, I don't know, but he was instrumental in boosting all of their careers. I do believe that he was sexually amibiguous appearing for professional reasons. Pegasus, as a recording artist, you need to check out his titanic fight with the recording industry. For a number of years the fight resulted in his calling himself "The artist" or "the artist formerly known as Prince". To shorten his name, he used a stylized question mark with a squiggle.
Prince was completely straight. Wendy and Lisa are lesbian.
Prince's androgyny was very attractive to women. He challenged typical masculine stereotypes, but was very masculine to women. He gave a lot of female musicians opportunity.
100% straight, even if you don’t react to it, listen to Get Off…a reaction would be great tho😂😂😂. You’ll get it then.
Prince was a MUSICAL GENIUS. Most of his music, studio recordings are all him. ALL. All of the instruments, vocals, all him.
He was a LADIES MAN. He was with some of the most beautiful women of the time:
Shelia E
Vanity
Apollonia
Kim Bassinger
Mayte Garcia
Carmen Electra
List goes on…
Prince was Jehovah’s Witness, so he didn’t believe in blood transfusions. He desperately needed both hips replaced due to decades of dance and those high heels. However hip replacement surgery frequently necessitates the need blood transfusion, so he refused surgery. As a result, the level of pain he was in needed a lot of pain killers. Was so sad to lose him the way we did.
Gor to be the MTV live performance with the yellow 'suit' 😅
Lol... back in the 80's some guys wore more makeup than women did!! Guys in the hair bands just about all wore makeup. Prince = Legend...
Prince, first off was a musical GENIUS, but he is the literal definition of “Eccentric Enigma” and it only added to his charm as a performer. RIP Prince!!
Prince was straight.. and sexy AF! He played all the instruments!!! Like 27! He was my favorite artist in the 80’s. I found him in 10th grade - his controversy album. Amazing sexy artist
He didn't play all instruments when he was with The Revolution.
@@vovindequasahithat wasn’t the point.. he COULD play all the instruments .. and in the old days pre his 1999 album he often did play the instruments for his tracks. The point here is that he was one talented dude.
@@Emilie-one Indeed . I agree with that . ua-cam.com/video/2tJvekw6bqs/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Testament
He wrote mega hits for women - “I Feel for You” by Chaka Khan, “Manic Monday” by The Bangles, “Stand Back” by Stevie Nicks, “Glamorous Life” by Sheila E., “With this Tear” by Celine Dion, and under the alias Joey Coco, Prince wrote “You’re My Love” for Kenny Rogers.
Prince also wrote “Nothing Compares to You” that was covered by Sinead O’Connor.
Round and round for tevin Campbell too
Prince was a musical genius and decades ahead of his time.
You are getting hung up on imagery ,Prince was not gay ! It was part of the show! Make up doesn’t mean you homosexual or bisexual!
The guys in KISS weren't gay... Neither was Motley Cruel or Poison, Twisted Sister or a million other bands or singers.
I never really hurt when musicians who I used to listened to passed away ,but Prince & Eddie Van Halen was a punch in the gut
Hear hear
💯
For me it was Bon Scott of AC/DC and the late brilliant guitarist Steve Clark from Def Leppard. Cried my eyes out for both.
oh my God I'm totally exactly the same as you
Yeah a one two punch
Prince loved women. I feel he just loved beauty in general.
Prince was definitely not gay. Check out his video Diamonds and Pearls and his Super Bowl Halftime performance.
Yes the greatest half time show for sure. I mean it started raining when he started playing Purple Rain. What more could you want.
I was talking with my coworker the day we found out Prince (RIP) died. She said"I love Strawberry Beret". I said " you mean Raspberry Beret. 2 minutes of silence. She said "yes" when i asked if she was fact checking me. Lol. I told her my favorite Beatles song is " Raspberry Fields".
😂😂😂
You fell for the mansplaining bait. LoL
😂😂😂
touche'
We weren't so hung up on labels and judging in the 80s . It was great music great times ! Miss that so much.
When this was all over MTV, I honestly found a raspberry beret in a thrift store. Wore it proudly.
Wanna have your mind blown 🤯
“Little Nicky,” he was just his own thing and I believe he is completely straight. I could be wrong.
And he just has the type of eyelashes and brows and facial structure that makes him look like he is wearing makeup when he is not.
Man, I would pay to see his reaction to that song…or “Gett Off”! LOL
Darling Nikki
Yeah, Little Nicky was a terrible movie Darling Nicki is the song.
Prince was one of those artists like David Bowie who just let his freak flag fly and made all of the rest of us who felt a little different know that was okay. A lot of Prince's lyrics reference the fact that he is "not a woman, not a man" but he had many relationships with women and was married once.
He was actually married twice
Omg glad you found this one. you have to remember the time his stuff was made, and a lot of the guys in bands wore eyeliner, flashy clothes, and big hair 😂
Sooo Soooo STRAIGHT!! 🔥💜🦄🍆☔️☯️
He had a baby who passed as well 🙏🏻
Never take the place of your man is one of my favorites too! 💜
LOVE that song!
Never heard that Prince was gay or bi sexual. I never saw a Prince in just regular street clothes. Always elaborate garments with beautiful patterns, capes etc His interviews are always interesting. You never knew what to expect. I think he designed his clothes too
I saw this beautiful man in concert 3 times 87, 97, 04. The Best ever, RIP Prince you are deeply missed💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Prince was amazing. You should watch Prince's Superbowl performance. Performing with his electric guitar, in the rain! Prince, you are much missed, and much loved. RIP
You should check out Charlie Murphy's true Hollywood stories about Prince. 🤣😂😂🤣
Prince was 100% straight. It was his style as he went on in his career.. You will never see another Prince. He died too young..
Wendy & Lisa said Prince was hella straight, but presented like a fancy lesbian.😂
Prince was a dandy.
Prince was asked why he wore high heels and he simply said " because women love them ". He was running parallel and possibly a little ahead of other similar movements around the world that were anti butch rock. He was reported to have affairs with some beautiful women but never felt the need to define his sexuality.
You should also check out ( Prince & The Revolution - Kiss (Official Music Video)
Dude, there's a whole genre of glam rock where everyone wore makeup and had big hair. Poison was a notable one. And before that, Gene Simmons from Kiss claims to have slept with over 2000 women, Makeup and wild clothes are just a part of rock and roll. Also, it's ber-ay, like that sorbet you were talking about, not a hair barrette.
I miss the days when straight men would pretty themselves up for us women. 😅
Prince is a legend and genius! You have only begun to scratch the surface of his talent! Check out his hits, Pop Life, Delirious, I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man, Adore, Sexy Mutha F’cker, and more! As far as anyone knows Prince was straight and many musicians back in the eighties wore makeup! Most of the New Wave artists and Glam rockers wore makeup! David Bowie, DuranDuran❤, Poison, Adam Ant, and many more! I was a teen in those days and believe me all my favorite straight male rock idols wore makeup at that time! Later on Prince along with the others stopped wearing makeup because Fashion and styles changed! He was just sexy as heck and has some nasty songs like Darling Nikki, Head, Erotic City, Cream, and more! Check those out too!😂❤❤
It was the 80's. There were tons of artists who wore tons of makeup and flambouyant clothes. Micheal Jackson had the glove and his famous red leather get up; Twisted Sister; KISS; David Bowie; Boy George; nearly all of new-wave and pop-synth.
Prince was and still is an icon. He could play every instrument. Mega talented. He was a Player!! Go watch the movie Purple Rain. It has your answers. He wrote the movie, full soundtrack which was the album Purple Rain. He loved Little Richard, hence the makeup and dance moves. Let’s Go 🤘🏻🇺🇸💯
You need to check out “Darling Nikki” and “ Prince Live-Play That Funky Music- Hollywood Singing”, amazing live performance!
The 80's were a lot more relaxed than people today think.
Exactly. We didn't pay half as much attention to what other people did, as people do today. "You do you" was seriously how we thought!! So weird how people think they started that thought process! Haha! Nah, we truly didn't care, and we were friends with everyone!!!
@@angelabennett-engele1977, you nailed that one! Friends with everyone. Ethnicity meant nothing. Played with anyone on the block.
Shit, no kidding.🙂↕️
Right? We Gen X had the best times to grow up from.
