    Articulate, stylish, and immensely talented guy! He was on fire back in the mid-late 80s! I wish him well.

    I just love how Alexander's raw and at the same time innocent boy kinda vibe shines so brightly. He never changes. Even now he is still that cheerful little boy who wants to entertain everybody in the room. At 70, that's incredible. 1 love from Belgium 🇧🇪✌️🍀. God bless you Mr. O'Neal.

    Really classy. He didn't bad mouth Prince. Had to be disappointing when Prince left him out.

    Basically Prince sacked him, but Alexander was a real stand-up guy and didn’t throw prince under the bus. Incidentally, Alexander didn’t want to play second fiddle to Prince and was his own man! He was too strong of a personality for Prince to deal with, in his own words *“Prince thought I was too black”!* 😮

    Alex wanted what Prince had and you have to crawl before. You walk and Prince wasn't having it. He wanted all this money so he can have cars home pools, and he haven't paid his dues yet, and prince was the boss

      @forensicaccountant259 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Nah, Alex was just a grown assed man who was older than all those cats and had been paying dues with bands all over Minneapolis. He had responsibilities and needed to get paid.

      @Forensic Accountant ok if all that was true, how come prince was the only Established artist at that time, but I understand where ur coming from

    • @corneliusthorn9498
      @corneliusthorn9498 ปีที่แล้ว

      With all due respect what I meant by my comment is that Prince was the only established artist who had records under his belt Alex hasn't had that. At the time that's what I meant.

      ​@@forensicaccountant259- From the recap I heard, he was demanding a lot more money than what he needed to take care of his responsibilities. And a pool isn't a something his responsibilities needed.
