It was such a joy to watch Prince converse with the people he felt most comfortable with. Because then his true personality would shine through. There were no shades, his body language wasn't rigid he was just relaxed and quite funny. I miss him so much.
Well said .... I 100% echo your words .... and loved the way Prince gave insight as to how many artists get financially scr*wed by the immoral contract structures. Keep up the good work "The Prince Encyclopedia" ..... you're fine people !
Just imagine how many musicans over the decades were financially screwed in the worlds so called greatest nation. This is how america was founded on big time slavery and expliotation. it is called theft in the hundreds of billions.
The greatest Musician of our Time! He knew how to Play, how to write, how to produce and how to take care of the Business Side of the Music Industry. What a Talent, gone way too soon
My brother and I went to see Prince in concert back in the 80's. When he was promoting his Purple Rain concert. One of my brother's and I drove 3 hour's each way to see the concert. I have see so many 🌟 in concert. Although the other stars were great. No one even came close to Prince. He was so damn amazing 💓. Very Powerful man. Prince was by far the greatest performer ever. I. So happy that I has opportunity to meet him. God Bless this soul. There would never be another Prince
"You're gonna wake up naked chained to a street light" lol Prince loved that one. Nice to hear him laugh. Rest In Peace, Prince. The GOAT in Purple. :) :(
@@malakia98 and I suck at math. When he asked and explained the problem of his album sales in the interview, I didn't even know the answer and don't even know how it goes.
Same way Left Eye (RIP) broke it down why they were one of the biggest selling groups at one time and broke. Same with Tribe Called Quest and sooo many other artist. What did Q-Tip say "Record people are shady. So kids watch your backs because I think they smoke crack, I don't doubt it, look at how they act." BOOM!
I grew up listening to Prince and had the honor to go see him in San Diego. That was one of the best nights of my life. I invited my sister and we enjoyed the show from the 5th row since that's all it was available. I paid $400 per ticket, worth every penny.
He was such a bad ass guitar player and a lot of people didn’t even know it. So many people thought that his instruments were played by other people especially in the beginning it took people a long time to figure out that 👎 He played them all! 27 everything was always him. I have loved him since I was in 5th grade. Seen him 4 times. Awesome performance!
I was 9 years old when your music got my soul. I saved all my Money to buy Purple Rain vinyl. I would play it, over and over until I knew all the words and memorized the guitar. I LOVE your voice, and all the controlled screams.
Prince - relaxed and comfortable. Didn't get to see this side of him too often, but always enjoyed watching him perform and listening to his music. Wish he was still with us, but thank goodness for things like this where we can still enjoy and cherish the golden moments with the one and only. Rest in peace Prince. 💜💜💜💜
The best interview I have seen with Prince, very good to see him being himself, he so intelegent, wice and very 🔥🔥🔥 very hillerious 😂😂 love you Prince 💜 rest in piece 🙏💜💞
I QUITE HONESTLY BELIEVE IN MY HEART WHEN DENISE VANITY MATTHEWS PASSED IT DIDNT SIT WELL WITH HIM AND HE LOST HIS DESIRE TO STAY WITH US, AS WELL AS THE YEARS OF DANCING HURTING HIM PHYSICALLY.I LOVE THE MAN WHAT A GENIUS
I agree 💯 he had to make an emergency landing just 6 days before he died because he was unresponsive 💔😭 i would have camped out at paisley park -- when he came home --😞 it makes no sense to me -- he died alone SMH - so sad
I’ve always loved everything about Prince. I miss him so much. He is the only celebrity I truly mourned. I was so touched to hear after he passed that every city he would play in he would drive around and anonymously donate money to those in need. He wanted it quiet. He didn’t need or want the spotlight or recognition for it. That to me is someone who truly does it for the right reasons. It’s not like what we see today where people do great things but feel the need to post it to social media with a “look at me and what great things I have done and do” type of mentality. He didn’t make it about him. He just wanted to help and share his good fortune with those who needed it and would appreciate it the most. God rest his amazing funky soul 💜🎸💜
I had tickets to this appearance on the TONIGHT SHOW and tickets to his concert at the PALADIUM in LA the next night. Unfortunately (but not in a bad way) I could not attend as my my 1st born daughter was a week early and born on MAY 3rd the earlier in the day before the TONIGHT show and the PALADIUM concert. I still have my tickets saved for both events 💜 O(+>
This video makes me smile but also so sad. This man was a genius and extremely self controlled, I will never believe that he od’d on pharmacy issued pain med pills. someone slipped him unregulated pills, periodt 💯💯💯
I totally agree I believe someone that he knew or worked for him. They must have known exactly what kind of pills he was taking, they had to what it looked like, the shape and color so they can switch it with the one of the pills he was taking.
And what good was that? He couldn’t take them with him. Now his relatives are just fighting over his bones for the Pickens like seagulls over a chicken bone.
White folks become offended when black people insuiate that white people are slaveowners. The symbol Prince had was symbolic for white folks acting as slaveowners.
HE WAS PUNKER THEN PUNK, back then people din't understood his fight pro-art: "masters recording that's our future" "the internet is dead" "I think there's should be an exchange for the work of the artist and the fans" "The artist aren't getting paid anyway" etc. the man was talking about the Monopoly of the industry, the corruption of the internet channels, the outlet for independent artists and bad contrats. He was the first mainstream artist to go Indie, in a time were acts like Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails were embracing the system, ironically, 10 years later they took the credit for what Prince created.
Prince was INSANELY gifted musically but to balance that he was very intelligent and worldly. A student of many things both academic and spiritual. His perspective on life, business, art, etc Is fascinating. Oh and then there’s his sense of humor. The childhood he had was traumatic but you’d never know that. He loved a good laugh and this moment with Leno is as close as we mortals will get to see the real genuine prince. Also loved him in the muppets too being silly and unpretentious. All the stuff you hear about in the media is stuff he crafted with a purpose for the mugs.

The most beautiful one indeed😍💜
Yes, just a beautiful human. I could go on and on about my lifelong infatuation with Prince but JJ Mack hit it all in two sentences.
I think that Sinead O'Connor might have a slightly different opinion of the 'most amazing beautiful man ever.'
I saw him twice in concert.. unbelievable! unforgettable! Heartfelt, performance..each time💜xx
It was a joy to hear Prince laugh!
I which Jay came on again his tells jokes and all He's cool. Sweet .😀
I loved Prince also when dove's cry.💕
I love his laugh!

So true. He wasn't given the respect he deserved for most of the things you mention. An absolute genius of art.
Love the chemistry between these guys that's friendship

Seeing him here makes me even sadder about his death. Besides being a gifted musician, he seems like a really nice guy. So sad.
He seemed like a very funny and Loving man to be around and have fun with.

And bass and the drums.
Saw him often live and miss that so much. He was amazing. 40 years ago i fell in love. And still..
He was a bad ass EVERYTHING player
Who else loves his voice? 🙋♀️
It’s very soothing

Ditto
the only voice that I can always hear even when I can't take anything
So sexy
I was 9 years old when your music got my soul.
I saved all my Money to buy Purple Rain vinyl.
I would play it, over and over until I knew all the words and memorized the guitar.
I LOVE your voice, and all the controlled screams.
He was perfection.Miss him so much❣️
He was an amazing artist. You are missed Prince.
One of the most underrated Guitar players of all-time. R.I.P. Prince. Legend.
His performance, you can see the James Brown influence on him and the band clearly. I love him!
Exactly!
James Brown, Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield, Jackie Wilson .....
Missing Prince. He was beautiful🙁
Prince always 💯 steps ahead,,,,,,,,genius on many levels!
Not many ever pranked Jay either 😂🤣
I've loved Prince's performances from the beginning. Such a talented man. Rest in Heavenly Peace Prince!!
“So Mariah kinda got SCREWED!”😂😂😂

This interview with Prince aired on my 8th birthday and I'm just now finding this out?! Loved him.
I love his confidence, OMG!

"put his seats way up 👀☝🏻☝🏻" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I miss him so much. 🙏

Thank you for posting this interview! Every nugget of wisdom I receive from Prince has infinitely informed my life's journey.
Everybody says he's so shy but he has such a sweet sense of humor and damn he's cute
I always knew something was under that shy smirk. lol I adore you Prince.
That chin though... You were talking about Jay, right?
Michael Jackson was the shy one. Both Gr8 talent & entertainers. Not smart enuff 2 get help 4 the pill addiction that killed them both....
@@daveidmarx8296 no dude Prince. Nobody thinkin' of Jay like that.

A terrific ode to the vibe of James Brown during Prince's performance.
I never seen him really speak a lot or you know his real personality I'm really digging it wow such a loss
I never knew he was so funny.😢😢. So sad he's gone. But we have his music.
Amazing talent
When he passed that was the end of an era. 🙏🏿

Smooth, classy, funny, sexy, alluring, adorable...all those good things in one beautiful package. We miss you.💜
Incredible person and musician!

Oh how I love this man...one of a kind!
He and MJ both spoke up against the record label industry and shortly after they are both dead....
I’m just glad he got ownership of his masters before he passed on!!
And what good was that? He couldn’t take them with him. Now his relatives are just fighting over his bones for the Pickens like seagulls over a chicken bone.
