Prince Who?
I saw this earlier. The expression on his face looks like him.
Very cool.
I’m impressed.
Jackson actually asked Prince to be the bad guy in the "Bad" music video and Prince turned him down. The two had a mutual respect for each other but thought they were superior to each other. It was arguably the biggest rivarly in music, maybe after the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and Biggie vs Tupac.
Prince put on a great show in 1985 at the Superdome.
I remember a quote from Prince’s music teacher in high school that the kid played ALL the instruments well. String, Drums, Keyboard, Wind, Reed. He was also creative , a prodigy who emerges rarely , what a waste...
For an 11 y/o, he showed a lot of poise in front of the camera and was not afraid of the microphone.

It is said- I didn’t hear it- that an interviewer asked Eric Clapton what it was like to be the best guitar player in the world Eric said, “I don’t know. Why don’t you ask Prince.”

Wow, what a find!
Awww, he was a cute kid.
Bkmk
I was briefly in Minneapolis with the Marines once in the mid-80s. A bunch of us went to that nightclub in his movie. I was sitting at the bar by myself drinking a beer. A cute waitress saw my cowboy boots and me not fitting in. She asked me to go with her. I thought I was either getting kicked out, or getting lucky.
She took me out some double doors off to the side of the stage and down that hallway in the movie where all the dressing rooms were. Then we go in a door about the size of an average living room with a very small stage about a single step taller than the floor. A few others were standing in there bewildered. She kept showing up and bringing in people.
Then an outside door opened and in walked Prince with two NFL looking bodyguards. He was like 6 feet away and picked up a guitar and played three songs. I wasn’t really even a fan then, so I don’t know what songs they even were.
But I am here to tell you, that man could play a guitar like nobody I have ever seen. I had no idea how talented he was.
My buddies, one of which was a dark green, and a huge fan, and the reason we were there couldn’t believe it. I don’t know if he ever did really believe me.
What a find.
Good work with the investigation
