The little smirk on the side of his face ... totally him. His expressions.
The smirk AND the EYES! The EYES! 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔
Yes you nailed it.

Totally, Skipper huh, that's coo, ggz-👽👍
He had that same smirk his whole life. What a lovely video to unearth.
Agreed
He was so cute makes me😅 just wish I could have hugged him
The most words ever spoken by Prince in a Prince interview 💜 😆
What a beautiful child !!!!!
Wish he had been able to see this footage. Prince will be forever missed !
Yeah, this funny and you're spot on because he was so calm in this interview, he did everything right in this interview. Made great eye contct, looked directly at the newsperson and answered their questions with no hesitation whatsoever and smiled and everything. And then a decade later, he would become super shy and extremely terrified to give an interview and talk to people. It just makes no sense!😆
@@tubucoco Prince wasn't shy and even said so himself, he just didn't like reveal much about his personal life; which journalist are desperate to know about. But in some interviews he would talk on and on about music and artists rights. In an interview with Tavis Smile on PBS he was much more open and candid about his life/ He was more of an introvert, which is different than being shy. All the people I've heard talk about his personality said he was funny and a prankster and could be talkative if he's interested in the subject.
❤😂😊
Made me chuckle 💜
He was concerned about his teachers' well being.
It is good to know that Prince was always a good guy! RIP
💯!!!
Lol but honestly if I were him I'd also just be happy to be outta class, and would have said the same thing as him. Unless substitute teachers were scabbing, so they still had school? IDK
Children parrot what teachers tell them because they're too young to think critically. They accept what they're told. This is why it's so important to have teachers that are ethical & don't use their position to indoctrinate children into their political belief system.
@@hensonlauraI taught school for 25 years and politics never came up. I can tell from your tone you are drinking the far right Kool Aid. Believe me, Critical Race Theory and pronouns are not your enemy: poor salaries and horrible working conditions are the rot of education.
🤔
He’s got that smile that says he knows something nobody else knows.
That mona Lisa smile.
I love this comment!
@@ExposedBen i still want to know who mona lisa is

People under 35 today don't really understand how rare it was to be on camera, or even have one's picture taken back then. This is cool.
I totally understand and I’m 31.
I’m an old soul trapped in a young body - my old man always said this 😂
yeah now people are scared of cameras if they see one, but are ok if they see cameras while in stores
dont see cameras
Under 25
Exactly 💯🙏🏽💕💎
The way that guy said "THAT IS PRINCE!" made me smile. He was so happy to see his old friend.
His tears made me choke up as I was watching, because he heard his old friends’s voice, and it warmed his heart to hear him once again, brought tears to my eyes as well .💜
Stevie Wonder could see that this little boy was PRINCE. Did you catch that famous left-sided crooked smile of his? What a sweet, thoughtful little boy he was...advocating for the teachers! 💜💜💜
Sure ya rite. Legendary🥰🔥💯
Stevie wonder isnt blind
@@user-ee8ux5hg8e Stevie wonder is certified as blind...if it is not blindness , what is it called??
It's a figure of speech. Were you born yesterday? @@rosemaryrogers1478
OMG I just wanna squish him!
Anyone can tell it’s him just by the smirk and look to the side in the beginning 💜
That smirk is one of a kind
@@sellyboy727 i agree 💜
Yes!
That's what I was just thinking. 😁👍
Right
Little did He know that He was going to be one of the greatest musicians of all time !! ♐️
I beg to differ. He knew.
ok
That smirk tells me he knew.
@@karlbrown1982 Yup !! 😂
Alot is said about Michael, but Michael was already a star by the time he was 11 with his brothers in The Jackson 5. Prince came out of nowhere and had to work harder to be successful. I believe Prince was more talented than Michael... And this is coming from someone who adored Michael Jackson. Thriller was the first album I owned as a kid. I also remember seeing Purple Rain as a kid... It totally blew me away. Losing Michael was a blow, but losing Prince REALLY hurt.
That side smirk is unmistakable.
His eyes…and he said um the same way his entire life…so adorable!!!
C'mon, of course it's Prince. It's undeniable. His facial expressions were the same as a kid. Amazing footage.
He was giving the sideeye even back then.
@@ibramblebush
Yes. He perfected that. Lol
Heck, even the way he blinks. Those who know Prince, know Prince.
yep !
If Prince had committed a crime, it's all the evidence they would need. Smh.
prince is one of the coolest people ever I don't believe he died of pills
I know they had to confirm to be accurate, but he has such a unique face, It was so clearly him from first sight! Amazing story!
That’s great investigative journalism ❤️
Yeah, before they confirmed it was him. I gasped. I knew automatically
True, but my ex looked a lot like Prince too. Of course he was born in 1982, but I can see why they needed to make sure. Ice T looks a lot like Prince as well. Especially when he was younger.
When he made that expression while turning his head, it was identical to the one he frequently made as an adult. That really confirmed it for me.
The freeze frame of his sly look to the side... Knew it was him right away lol
Man completely unaware he just interviewed the greatest musician to walk the earth who broke all the rules . Forever missed. RIP 👑
This is a profound statement. I hope more people read it.🔥😮
No they didn't interview me.
Thats not Michael Jackson! 😂
Truth.
@@mailimoorosi2259 MJ was mainly an entertainer. Prince was mainly a musician. Two forces of nature. Lightning ⚡️ and thunder ☔️
As a teacher myself, I can assure you he captured his teacher’s hearts. To think he came out to support his teachers way back then! We’re still fighting the good fight out for all the little future Princes.
yeah, he was repping you guys way back then!😆
Amen 🙌 ASE 🖐️ Ashe 🙏🏼 Thank you for teaching the children ❤
Then GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THE 'TEACHERS Union!!!!!!! DemonRats all the Way!! And u ALL KNOW IT!!!!!!
He never lost that adorableness, either. What a gift to the earth he was and will always be.
#FACTS
HE'S JUST DOWNRIGHT SPECIAL AND UNEXPLAINABLE FOR THE LOVE OF THE WORLD!!!
WE AS " PURPLE WARRIORS" WILL NOT LET HIM " DIE " IN SPIRIT!!!
@@danielleferguson3710 indeed he was special but if he's really passed away it's just his spirit that's special 🙏😊anyway God bless you and your family 😇 🙏 👨👩👦
@@cb90222 I'm just curious what makes u think he still alive?!?🤔
Pro union. My kind of guy. Too bad Reagan and the Republicans killed the unions. We all owe Christian Smalls for successfully getting a local Amazon warehouse unionized!
@@knowgo411 its what happens when famous/popular musicians die, there's always rumors/conspiracies that they are still alive, fake their death to live a normal life. Prince, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison and the biggest one of them all Elvis Presley
Recent discoveries about Prince after his passing indicate that he was a "ghost" philanthropist meaning that he gave alot to those in need privately and without wanting any recognition for it.
True no lie.
That's where Katt Williams got it from
He knew the Bible said you're not supposed to bring attention to yourself when being charitable.
Exactly. Who knew that Prince was an advocate for educators back then? 😀🥰
Most celebrities donate to charity without bragging about it.
Long before prince found fame, fame was looking for him 💜
This kid was destined for greatness!
Seeing his childhood friend's reactions--very moving. He is SO MISSED.
Yaaassss and amen to that 😇 🙏 💯 Percent 😇 and God bless you and your family 😇 🙏 👨👩👦
@@cb90222 God's abundant blessings to you and your family as well🙏🙏🙏
Yes, it brought tears to my eyes.
@@cb90222 beautiful!
Did u all notice that Mr.Jackson said Prince at the age 11 was playing the Guitar & Keyboards ...Phenomenally!! Straight Genius .....R.I.P. Prince 💜☔💜☔💜

Are you ok in the head?
@@seekhimwithallyourheartand3358 Oh, please. Your imaginary sky daddy ain't gonna save you. 😂
@@JC_inc JC, I'm a Christian and I see this stuff all the time. And the answer is no, they're not alright in the head. One of two things is going on, one, they have a mental issue similar to schizophrenia, as well as Obsessive compulsive disorder. or two, they've done something or things really messed up and carry tremendous guilt and a deep seeded fear of eternal damnation. . Now, as a Christian and a student of psychology, the other commentor. The one using the term "sky daddy". The insufferable douche with a hate boner exclusively for Christianity.
They will never go out of their way, as shown here, to try and disparage any other religion. Just Christianity.
They feel compelled to be the "insufferable douche" and there are reasons for that as well. Could be from a number of things, usually because of an abusive parent that would erroneously cite biblical passages as a justification for whatever dysfunctional habits they had. Could be a drunk dad that beat them, a permiscuous mother who screwed everyone in town but still made everyone go to church.. perhaps a pervert uncle fingered their butthole and told them the bible said it was okay.. could be from anything. But what's not conjecture is the fact that they are indeed insufferable douche bags.

Know that even "Prince" realized that God & Satan were real..., Don't push away the Father's free Gift of Salvation, as tommorow as not guaranteed for any man...!? Jesus is the Genuine Article! The Truth, The Life & The Way; No one comes to the Father but by HIM!
th-cam.com/video/rk7XAWT-YVo/w-d-xo.html
It amazes me that he was fighting for teachers even back then like he fought for musicians in the industry. I realize he has been a fighter most of his life. REST EASY-----PRINCE
Prince was a remarkable young man who always cared about others deeply & humanity even as a child! Such a wonderful memory to share! ❤️ Rest in heaven Prince! ❤️🙏🏾
He is NOT resting easily. He used SIGIL magic and therefore could not go to heaven. His guitar was a SIGIL magic shape. study it. learn something. You have been deceived.

@@dontbeasucka.61 Prince is dead and will rise after the 1000 year rule of Christ and then he will be thrown into the lake of fire as Jesus called it. People are going in the mystery rapture soon. I guess you don't believe in that either.
Well of course you don't believe in it. IF you were not called to study it then maybe you have no idea. Many don't know !
No one else has his looks he was a very unique person there will never be another.
The way Rhoda laughed when she heard Prince's voice made me so warm and brought a smile to my face
I KNOOOW RIGHT! 😭😭💜💜💜💜💜💜! LOVED IT TOO!
i think it was emotion, not a laugh.
@@TheFever77 yes she laughed with love
It brought a tear to my eye.
He even had those adult Prince mannerisms back then as a kid. You could see the shyness in him and the way he looks at you just as he did as an adult. When I first saw him, I knew without a doubt it was him. I said, "THAT'S PRINCE" I didn't have to be a historian for this. It was, A - U - T - Omatic.
I see what you did there!!
@@lisahollingsworth6899 That's from his 1999 Album. I felt it was appropriate for my comment😁. I have all of his albums from the 1970's to the mid 1980"s. 1985 to be exact. All was his best music.
@@lisahollingsworth6899 me too
😂😂😂, love it
@@bootsy037 All the albums and Eight live shows beginning with Controversy when I was 14. i took both my wife and ex-wife to see Prince. He literally helped shy dudes like me have more confidence with women.
He’s been speaking up for fair pay for most of his life.
I love the reactions of Prince's childhood friends!!!
That's Prince. Immediately recognizable.
“They be working extra hours for us, and all that stuff!” That’s right, Baby Prince! You’d better speak up for those hardworking teachers!!! ✊🏽 OMG, I love this soooo much. ❤️❤️❤️ RIP Prince!
🥰 ☔️
It's a shame that, generations later, we still don't really appreciate teachers as a society and pay them accordingly. We don't really value public education in general.
THAT young and acknowledging all of that???! Just amazing, he was ALWAYS ahead of his time, ❤️❤️❤️
@@loki2240 Teachers shouldn’t settle for shit.
you mean the teachers that work 5-6 hours a day, 8-9 months out of the year?
the teachers that didn't want to leave their homes and teach in person?
the only reason their job is "hard" is that many of the parents fail to discipline their kids, and so the classrooms are a riot zone.
Wow, you guys struck gold! There's no denying that's him with those short, clipped answers to questions and that crooked smirk. He didn't change much other than his grooming, but adult Prince looked just like little boy Prince. What a special guy he was, like he was born for success.
Very recognizable right away.
Princes kept his natural look. He didn't have plastic surgery. Beautiful memos for people who's known him personally and to us his.
"I think they should give better education and I think they should get some more money"

yeah that's Prince
thats our boi, always woke and telling ppl to know their worth❤️💎
This is such rare footage
That just warmed my heart...we miss you 🕊PRINCE🕊
This video is such a blessing. Prince is so loved and missed ♥️
Wow!!! His mannerisms never changed!
Prince caring about teachers and working class folks in general at such a young age. This is why people love the guy. Not just for his music but his addressing of injustice throughout his entire life. He knew that you can't have a healthy, civil society without everybody being able to live a decent, dignified life. Long live Prince!
Yes! An old wise soul from the beginning
Agreed.
You got all that from "they should get extra money bc they work extra hours and all that stuff" 🤣🤣🤣 good for him being there with his family but ur trying to make him a social justice warrior when he was just out there having fun with friends/family
@@robert120987 you're belittling his intelligence and the Working class
@@KingHavocDraigo 🤦 ur making this way more than it is.. cute video but no underlying social justice themes.. so just stop using children for ur weird agenda
Even that 'hummmm...' between 2 sentences is 100% him. He did that in any interview as an hyperstar. The look, the attitude... Everythings from the dude just there already.
He was so adorable 😍.
This is incredible. Now that is a hidden treasure from the vault!!

Any person with eyes can see it’s clearly a young prince💜
This is a total gift.

First, I got chills and now I am teary eyed. Prince's music soothed me and lifted me up out of some insane trauma when I was in my early 20's. One of my all time favorite memories was the day we went to Montreal from Vermont by bus and it was 6 am and frigidly cold at that corner bus stop. So I put my headphones on to listen to my prince casette tape and started doing a whole solid gold dancer routine (partially to get warm but partially to have fun, too), to Prince's Lets Go Crazy right in that frigid, icy snowy corner and my friend Paul was listening to the radio on his headphones. Keep in mind it was 6 am and most people in that city were still asleep and nobody was on the street but me and my friend. So he starts laughing, and looking around and finally points and waves at a building. Then he tells me to look up and I see a guy waving from the window at me and I just keep dancing. He makes me take off the headphones and says "He's a DJ for the local radio station and he just said on the air that it is 15 degrees out and there is a young lady doing an entire broadway routine out here in a desolated corner all by herself in the freezing cold, it is something else, you should see her going crazy". Which was even funnier because the Prince song was Lers Go Crazy. Man, Prince really lifted me up, his music was the best antidepressant for me at that time. This is so wonderful, Thank you so, so much for finding this and sharing the joy that his friends felt in seeing their buddy Skipper again. We miss him dearly and his music would have continued to enrich us and lift us up through a whole lifetime of trouble. What a beautiful discovery!
Ha! what a cool story! Prince will forever be in our hearts and our feet!
What a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing!
Reminds me of when I was a kid and I was obsessed with When Doves Cry. I was dying to hear it and when we got to my grandparents house after church on Sunday I immediately called our local radio station to request it. The DJ answered and I asked him to please play When Doves Cry and he said, “Turn on your radio, kid, it’s playing right now!” I’ll never forget that! 😂
I about fell over racing to the radio in the kitchen to hear it before it was over. 😂
He looked liked a superstar already!
Wow. Just floored me. At that age, he had no idea he would change music, and in some measure, the world.
Not sure he had no idea, he probably always had a feeling, even at that young age. He was already playing instruments "phenomenally" by then. Not that he knew, but he probably had some idea that he'd be known for being uniquely gifted someday.
@@Katherine24246 that's the feeling on has. Not to fully know, but to jus have a natural feeling about themselves. They can't help it
I disagree. Prince knew he was destined for greatness. He used to practice writing his autograph, because he knew he was going to be famous.
Can't get over him jumping up and down in the beginning trying to get the camera man's attention. He wasn't going to give up easily on being included in that footage.
yeah, it was like fate that he be interviewed
The way he frowns his nose stayed with him, particularly when he was being funny ❤❤❤❤
Prince ALWAYS kept it real. Even then. Wow! This was so dope! ❤️🙏🏽
I saw this last night on WCCO, after the Grammys this was a amazing discovery!
it's good to see that Prince was so self-aware of life and his teachers, even at that young age.
R.I.P. Prince you're definitely a Twin Cities Icon 💜
So he got to be part of the Grammy's again this year! (In a matter of speaking lol)
And the fact that he worked with Marva Collins and his Love for One Another organization to try and keep music in the schools. He stayed true to his feelings about teachers being respected for what they do for their students.
Lovelyti you’re the first person I thought about when I saw this news clip, subie here love your TH-cam channel.💜
He was regurgitating propaganda, "and all that stuff" The money was going to build the corrupt teachers union's. It never made it to anyone that mattered and all that stuff...
Lovelyti 😍
To this day, I still can't believe he's gone. I'm so glad I got to see him in concert before he passed away. A true musical genius.
IMHO I've never thought he passed away.. Did you watch the interview with Prince live on TV, when Prince was talking about Chemtrails? Well, it was shortly after that interview he was killed, at least IMHO. Anyway God bless you and your family 😇 🙏 👨👩👦
@@cb90222 ya I saw those Chemtrail interviews, he was saying some crazy stuff about what he thought was going on with the chemtrails. Then they off him 😭 I think he really was on to something
I go more towards saying that Prince was taken away from us...
100percent undeniably gifted..way ahead of his time…
@Michelle PLEASE GET OFF YOUR 'RELIGIOUS' PODIUM!!!!! ❤
RIP Skipper. You're still loved & mourned greatly
This is dope to see. Obviously he was short and the facial expression carried on with him for the rest of his life. Rest peacefully legend!🙏🕊
That got me smiling especially when a childhood friend sees and remembers you....Man,that's a good feeling.
yessss ......and the skipper reaction - straight genuine...❤
And remember that they were on the same band together
🥲
Perfectly and Beautifully Said...
Brought Tears too my Eyes I LOVE AND STILL ALWAYS WILL LOVE PRINCE-TOO BAD SOMEONE (Not mentioning No names yet they know) stole my 2 Purple Rain Albums one was never even opened my dad bought it for me for Christmas when I was getting ready to turn 15-him not knowing I Already had one and listened to it all the time doing homework writing poems
I love how even at 11 years old, my dude was all about fairness and paying people what they are worth.
Even thought he didn't pay people what they were worth until he was about to die. And I still love him
@@marlonbrando33 that was unnecessary. Not saying that it's not true. Prince was tight with salaries and even royalties. Hey.. music is a business. And scale pay sucks 😑
@@marlonbrando33 I'm sure they were paid actual living wages unlike most working people in the United States today. I'm sure they were able to buy a home and have a decent life unlike most working people in the United States today. And this isn't so much about Prince but instead the greed of the record companies and corporations in general.
@@marlonbrando33 Were they really worth it though, if so they could have made it without him.
@@dblewis1779 Well it’s true, whether you want to accept or or not.
That was super cute. And I love his willingness/ability to verbally express himself so young!
I was lucky enough to see him at a concert in Argentina in 1991 at the River Plate stadium. be amazed Prince was a musical genius for me his music comes from the future.
The second I saw him I knew it was Prince. His shy way of public speaking was there at 11 years old. Speaking up for teachers rights and pay at 11 like he spoke up for artists rights and pay when he was older. Thank you for unearthing this gem!
No not here he was jumping to get hat man's attention Lol.
PRINCE has said repeatedly he is NOT shy. He certainly may look it,but he definitely is not!!👑💜🎶🎤💫💜💜💜
bless him, he truly was a revolutionary, even as a boy.
💯💯💯💯💯💯
The footage of the 11 year old "Prince" is so Awesome and Amazing! He was very outspoken at such a young age! I am so very inspired by this discovery! God bless him for his insight and sharing his great gifts and talents with our world. 🙏🏼💯💜💟☮️
Wow 😍🙏🏾 no need for proof, I could see it was prince straight away. The smile, the eyes, the mannerisms...such a talented soul 💜
When he said "yeup" the way he said it plus how he would pause in between words had Prince all over it 😂 this was cool
Lol .. you caught that. Even at that age you can tell he was measured and thoughtful with his words
Yeup!
Yeah. A lot of people with musical minds always have odd pauses in their voices because music is always playing in their heads
@@kittendoll1315 , interesting comment 🤔
@@craigprice1598 go look up interviews of songwriters or artists dubbed as geniuses & listen to them speak.
I got teary eyed myself. It was great seeing Prince's friends reaction.
Same here. Hate that he's gone.
Aweee look at baby Prince!!! 🤗
Touching - and I love how even at that young age Prince advocates for his teachers so eloquently! He always had a way with words, which later came through in his lyrics.
That Reporter didn't know he was talking to a musical genius ,and I'm sure that KID didn't know he'd conquer the world in 14 years. It's strange that this lost footage was filmed in April 1970,then discovered in April of 2022, the same month that he passed away, Long Live the King....named PRINCE.
It is him saying he's good!
I believe MOST of us here realized the same and saw and felt, that this has Prince's purple 💜 All OVER it, 4 a perfectly purple 50y!
king indeed
I'm willing 2 bet PRINCE knew 1 day he'd conquer the world. 👑💜🎶💫💜💜💜🎤
People do use the term "April Showers" for a reason. The Purple Rain ☂️ ☔️ 🌧
Prince was a charmer, even back then!
Prince is said to have played 27 musical instruments proficiently. By the time he was 15, he had taught himself to play more than 12 instruments. He was most definitely one of a kind.
Yes and amen to that 😇 🙏 💯 Percent and God bless you and your family 😇 🙏 👨👩👦
Very cool. That was Prince's way of saying hello to his childhood pals.Legends are never forgotten.Long live Prince/Skipper.

Yeah, he was standing up teachers way back then. He was the teachers official, I'm sorry, he was the teachers unofficial spokesman!😄

@@aldousorwell3807 kids are the most free, they are not afraid to speak their minds. And contrary to popular belief, kids can feel and think for themselves. It's when we are older that we get indoctrinated through schools, rules and outside matters. If we observe humans who are 2 and 3 we find a free human. This human does whatever they want, they are completely wild. If we observe most of these humans have big smiles on their faces and they are having fun. They are exploring the world. They are not afraid to play. They are not afraid to express how they feel. They are so loving if they perceive love they are not afraid to melt into love. That is a normal human being. They are not afraid of the future or ashamed of the past. The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz.

Great store WCCO. Thank you for sharing..R.I.P..Prince..
Prince is a Legend you can recognise voice, smile and style Born to be one of the best artist ever
That sure is a young Prince. Those eyes, that smirk..unmistakable! I'm not crying, your crying!
Yup those eyes you cannot miss. Have you heard Joni Mitchell on Prince? They were friends.
You caught me
No you’re crying 😭
The way he jumps up to get on camera is the cutest. His first answer reminds me of the Dick Clark interview. Quick, short and to the point. "Yup!" lol and the way he scrunches his nose and turns his head. Exactly what one would expect a young Prince to do. Amazing footage. Thank you for sharing.
LOL I had the same reaction to his short response, “YUP”. I chuckled and thought, “not much changed in that department.” 😃

I also thought of how painfully shy he was in that first Dick Clark interview. He wasn't very smooth here at 11, even though he was obviously excited to be interviewed. I wonder if that led to the extra shyness? I have actually lived through this in a way. Never got used to public speaking after an early gaff...
I thought the same thing!

I'm 73 yo....his eyes and mouth totally gave him away. I cried. Miss you so much Prince
Also mention Prince's heart in the video. He shared compassion for his teachers at this young age. That says volumes about him and how he was raised.
I agree. If Prince was still here, he would definitely be supporting the worker strikes all over the Country. He would also be a huge Bernie Sanders fan. Always fighting for the little guy and gal. The best of Humanity.
@@jasongaylor2232 well you are making leaps there. Bernie was running while Prince was alive.
@@RubberWilbur No doubt Prince would have been a fan. His former bandmates certainly were:

His first video. I love you Prince. Rest in peace.
Childhood is so precious. So glad there is this news clip remaining which shows us Prince in live action as a child. ❤❤
Awesome find!! You can see that Little Prince had that confident swagger back then. A man taken too soon. It's still sad to me how he died. He will never be forgotten
this is the coolest story ever! What a timeless, priceless discovery!
Matt deserves a raise!
Wow. Chills. Imagine finding film footage of Mozart as a little kid. That's basically what you have.
I definitely believe that little guy was Prince Roger Nelson. He looks exactly the same. His facial expressions were the same as adult Prince. The little side smirk and his eyes.
The guy was a musical genius.
Rest in peace 🕊️🌹Prince we all miss you 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

The amount of people repeating what others have written is annoying. We get it "Side smirk"
Prince loved his hometown
He stayed their forever
How big of incon global megar star
He never left his city
I literally started crying watching this. Prince was a one of a kind person no doubt.

Same here my friend. 💜
Watching this little clip was an experience in itself. He’s almost the same age as my son on this. A young pubescent kid just starting to bloom.
Will always be "Skipper" to his family and friends, the people who really knew him.
Did you know him when he was short and “ The Purple one”.
What happened to Ronnie Kitchen?
I love Prince! He was very talented and driven! I believe his 'Let's go crazy' was a premonition. Hearing it today makes me feel entirely different than I did in 1984. It now makes me very sad. RIP Prince!
Thank you for posting this amazing time capsule of the man, himself. When I miss him, I listen to his music, and listen to interviews.... but, THIS! This is a treasure. May Jehovah bless you, and your family. I'm so grateful that he found what he had been looking for, all along. NOBODY can say that Prince was not blessed by God with all that talent!
