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 wore my Prince - Rest in Peace T-shirt & Prince mask all day yesterday to the Decatur festival down here in Atlanta and some people complimented me and one lady said " Awww, Prince. I miss him. "
I'm sure if you reach out to the station they would arrange something, especially since your dad was the one they were looking for first. Good luck and be well.
Exactly, guess he is a bit pissed that the teachers have to strike again, so he came back and reminded us of "all that stuff", showing respect to the ones who form our future.
Awwwwe, little Prince💜! He was soooo adorable! 💜 What a cool thing to see him as a little boy 😎, before he was a LEGENDARY ARTIST. It's so clearly Prince...the face and the mannerisms, the way his mouth moves all same as when we was an adult!
What a wonderful treasure to find! It would be cool to get people together that knew him back then for a group interview - especially the folks in his first band. There will never be another Prince - I still enjoy his amazing talent through song to this day!
Without a doubt that is Prince; the smile, the size, the style, the jumping up and down! and the time and place. Thank you WCCO for this incredible gift 🥲
I was just getting out of high school in L.A. when this footage was shot and I think back to seeing this lost video now found is very cool. Little would I know in 1981 my twenty-ninth birthday at the L.A. Coliseum (He) Prince would open for The Rolling Stones and into the start of his second song and booed off stage. To this day I could never figure Why! would anyone think of booked Prince to open @ a Hard Rock Concert but I sure if skipper had open with his tune "THE CROSS" if he'd had it in long list of idea's for a song HE! would have "Rocked The House!:" As Soon As You See That Side-Ways Look in the video You See Prince! inside the kid!:
I was there too, sitting around the 50 yard line, on the south side of the Coliseum. The Stones fan were not ready for Prince at the time, getting cups of dirt thrown at him on stage. Some 4 years later, I bet those same people were at his Purple Rain concert tour some miles away at the Fabulous Forum (Great Western Forum.)
Watching this video and the other WCCO video on the same matter, I note that the reporter says the one boy who names himself in the footage was "Ronnie Kitchen." I thought the kid said "Ketchum," like the last name of Hank Ketchum, who created "Dennis The Menace."
Seeing a video footage of Prince as a child was very touching for me, thank you.
We miss you Prince 💜

Me too. I knew immediately it was Prince. What a wonderful find.
I thought the same thing myself. The way he was moving his mouth, it was the same exact facial mannerisms as when he got older
Yup!
Any black person would know thiats Prince on site!👍🏿
Aww.... that's definitely Prince👑 I can tell by the way his mouth and lips move when his talking. Just his over all facial expressions.💜
Great video of Prince as a child thank you.🌹🌟
This made my day, thank you so much.
This is a loving memory 💜

This is a great story for us Prince fans! I'm anxiously waiting on the complete video and additional commentary!
Its great to see Prince at this age
The way he said "UM" sealed it. Just the way he said it in later life.
Ronnie is my uncle. I would love to see if my dad is in the video. I wish I could watch the whole thing.
His name was O(+> in 1999 not Prince
I'm sure if you reach out to the station they would arrange something, especially since your dad was the one they were looking for first. Good luck and be well.
Where is Ronnie today?
@@Paisley.319 he's supposed to be on the news on Wednesday so you will see 😊
@@tsefcik thank you! They found my uncle Ronnie. He's supposed to be on the news on Wednesday.
He is adorable! What a find.
Prince is speaking spiritually through this new unearthed footage ✊🏿⭐️
Exactly, guess he is a bit pissed that the teachers have to strike again, so he came back and reminded us of "all that stuff", showing respect to the ones who form our future.

Prince ia always be a very nice human being since he was a kid. Artist with few words but much works.

That was cool... 😎
was this before or after his dad kicked him out and he moved in with the anderson family?
Before
I think he moved in with Andre's family about a year later.
RIP Prince!
