Taken from the Oprah interview;
• 20th November 1996 ~ T...
‘Do Me Baby’;
• Prince; Do Me Baby. Li...
Got the idea after watching;
• Prince Performance on ...
IF I WAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND
Would you remember to tell me all the things you forgot when I was your man?
IF I WAS YOUR BEST FRIEND
Would you let me take care of you and do all the things that only a best friend can?
IF I WAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND
Would you let me dress you?
I mean, help you pick out your clothes before we go out
Not that you're helpless, but sometimes those are the things that bein' in love's about
IF I WAS YOUR ONE AND ONLY FRIEND
Would you run to me if somebody hurt you?
Even if that somebody was me?
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
IF I WAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND
Would you let me wash your hair?
Could I make you breakfast sometime?
Or then, could we just hang out, I mean…
Could we go to a movie and cry together?
Cause to me baby that would be so fine

The presence...the moves..the showmanship..the connection with the audience....not a single soul sitting. PERFECTION.
I have never sat at a prince concert.
So true. Even the guys are standing. No one was too cool to sit still at a Prince concert.
Manrique Dan ti ringrazio molto .Era un mio pensiero .Non conosco l'inglese ...se potessi mettere la traduzione te ne seraei grata.Vi voglio bene ragazzi.
Grazie René
So true
They're all gone..Freddie Mercury, Prince, MJ, Whitney, Donna Summer, George Michael, David Bowie, so glad I lived in a time where they were all here.
So glad Stevie's still here for the time being 😭
3/6/2024: Just goes to show all of that are “still here”…..we ALL have an expiration date/shelf life and one day it will be our turn. Ready???
"Death may come invisible or in a holy wall of fire, in the breath between the markers, on some black 80 mile"@@JESUSISLORDforever888
Rick James as well
Mariah Carey is still here
Prince is the only man on the planet that can get away with singing if I was your girlfriend IN HIGH HEELS!!
He was singing it to a woman. Read the lyrics
Yes I remember when my mother bought that record and played it to death. Asked her about the song title and she explained that Prince was singing to a woman saying would the woman act differently if he was her female friend. Blew my mind!
@@angelafisher299 yes, makes you think too hard. Lol but brilliant
@@angelafisher299 that's how he got so many women. He would get into their heads
@@RTDavis0503 You know you're right on that. 😀
You know what is so great? Not one cell phone! People actually being present and dancing with prince! I miss this time so much!
In Japan, nobody is allowed to have out cell phones during concerts or any performance. It’s rude to the performer. But, Japan is light years ahead with manners when it comes to the, “what about MY rights?” America.
Why are you pressed about what someone else is doing? You should be enjoying the show. Smh
Whats your problem with the cellphones other people? Don`t use one and be happy (or not)...
Outfit tight, hair tight, vocals tight, body tight. I love him so much. I was blessed to see him in person. ❤️❤️
And I so jealous. 😍😍😍
@@oksalbright Awwh 💜🥰
Ive seen him in concert three times. The ultimate showman :)
@@devonmitchell5294 Yesss. The top performer. 💜💜
Actually from the first note, he couldn’t reach the range. Must have been cold in Chicago.
There will never be another Prince. Truly a once in a lifetime musical genius. Rest in Power your Royal Badness🌠
*Yes,your comment is just how I feel about Prince,ever since I was a young girl...and I'm 60 now! 2022...miss you P.R.N
I agree!!
He was a TOTAL GENIUS!!!
He studied the best and took it to another level with his personal twist. That's what a genius does in my opinion and he nailed it!
Loved what you said about this beautiful man, I was blessed to have been from the 80’s era
Singing live. No auto tune. Real music. Real musicians. I miss everything about him.
He was talking to Michael Jackson
Well Good luck with that
Did Micheal Jacson answer back?
@@OMMHardyhe wasn’t!! Michael was an autotune artist
@@ToniWellons stop it
Y’all see this crowd JAMMING!???? Prince is a PERFORMER. AN ARTIST…Sheesh… these new singers don’t know!!!👏👏👏👏
THIS!!!
they do know that why they sample the $#!+ out of his music lol. #ABOSS
I don't even listen to today music waste of time
It's crazy that Prince did this performance around the time that his child died. He was an incredibly strong person.
These good times when phones are not in the air recording and they're just enjoying the moment.
Later in the noughties he would tell the audience to pit their phones away and enjoy the music
@@jewelj7507 Yes he said he never own a phone the gentleman ask him why he said everyone around him had phones he would just ask to used there's pure genius Prince was always thinking of saving money he definitely believe in investing in himself 😇
So so true
Truth Indeed
I dont think the Oprah show even allowed phones to be out in there.
He owned that stage from the start of the performance! I couldnt stop smiling, I was hype
no one has come close to that type of talent and i believe no one ever will:(
He had a commanding presence that is for sure.
I think you mean "hyped" as in "hyped up". It's the same as saying, "I was excite". That is likewise incorrect, as it should be, "I was excited." You seem intelligent, so I thought I'd pass some knowledge. Peace.
Prince has been putting me in a musical trance ever since I was 13 years old-decades later he still gives me butterflies. He will always be missed and loved💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hell that s*** just put me in a trance too. I couldn't even keep up. In shock the whole time trying to process. I'm a grown man. Prince wrong for that. Totally Amazing!
💯 🔥
Me too I had to hide my dirty mind cassette from my mom
@@karmadeluxe6069 I was blessed enough to have a mother that was in love with Prince. She was taken me to Prince concerts since I was in single digits. But, having a cool mom comes with some drawbacks, just a FYI.
This man could sing...dance....write...produce... play all the instruments...pull anybody....sexy....and fine as wine... ain't no other and will never be....
PRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEACH!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Plenty of artists do that today
And one thing more, he was he never tried to be anything else, truly truly original
@@KernelHughes who?
Back when people really enjoyed life
Yes😥
Amen to that!! Exactly what I was thinking too 🤗🤗
Back when we have real music, real artist with high vibe giving us all the package.
@Lee Brown THANK YOU. I hate these "back when.." comments..
@Lee Brown Lmfao! I was thinking the same thing! Hahaha 😆
After 100 times of watching it and still can't get enough. Prince was the G.O.A.T !!!!!!
Michael Jackson was the goat but he was in 2nd place
@Travis Harrison Michael could never be. He never wrote a song or played an instrument or produced. No comparison.
Prince was so multi dimensional, multi talented. He was the Mozart of modern times. People may complain because they disagree with his musics content but they are unable to name anyone else that is more gifted.
Prince rarely did TV show performances. So this was quite special. 😎💜
When he said will you let me wash your hair I literally said “YES!” out loud. 😜🤦🏾♀️
My all time favorite artist!
What about when he said “can I touch you there” 😂
Lol I screamed!! I was like yasssss 😆 🤣 😂
Girl you're crazy!!! I'm with you on that. I miss him so much
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 lots of panty shields
Yup. Mine too.
I really miss this talented Man...
🥺🥺🥺🥺
When I heard this song, I took it as Prince saying he will be as loyal to his girl like a girlfriend/best friend as well as her lover. There aren’t many men out there with that mentality!!!! Prince!!!!! All the way💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
He never had that rmentality though, only words for gulible women
@@mouloudo he must have had a lot of gullible women then because he had plenty of them surrounding him. But a lot of those singers have a plethora of women around them. That was the take I got from his lyrics. It was just a song and that’s the meaning I received, he will be as loyal as a girlfriend as well as a lover. That would be nice if some men are that loyal. Gullibility really doesn’t have much to do with it.
And so did "I"❤❤
@@mouloudo Wow, in my Perry Mason's voice, "I detect a little jealousy"😂😢😂
@@Iyiaksemlar4 I think he believed in spiritual monogamy but not physical monogamy. 😊 😎
Notice how the whole audience is on their feet and dancing. This ladies and gentlemen is the Prince effect.
Oprah dancing was like watching my Grandma groove to Maze
🤣🤣🤣🤣
💀💀💀💀💀I was looking for this comment 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Girl! You know you right!!!😂😂
Really!?
@1:16 -- y'all leave Oprah alone! 😂🤣😂
Only one man could hypnotize that many women at one time the one and only you’ll never see his likeness again legend Prince
Actually...lots of male artists have already been there - done that. Elvis...Jackie Wilson...Luther....Teddy....The Beatles...Frank Sinatra.....Ricky Nelson....Tom Jones....etc, etc,...Hypnotizing females isn't all that hard to do as an entertainer...
Maybe a more accurate statement would be: only one man could hypnotize that many women (and men) at one time, including a legendary woman by the likes of Oprah herself. Because I don't think mega celebrities fanned out for Elvis, Luther, etc. the way they did for Prince. Prince literally left so many celebrities, male and female, mesmerized like they were any other average people.
Hello, MJ..? 😃
I went to a Prince concert in the 80's and his performance was breath taking. The show ended with him throwing a tambourine into the crowd, I fell down trying to catch it, I left the show hoarse with sore knee's!!!!
Sore knees 🤣🤣🤣
Sore knees? 🤔
@@Curtchrisdagod YOUR KNEES ARE CONNECTED TO YOUR LEGS!💯
Yeah , kneed . At the prince concert I was at ,there were hot women in the men's bathroom on their knees for the men who were not afraid to get blown in the bathroom
@@Curtchrisdagod😂😂😂😂😂
So sad he left this earth. Too young. So unique. Magical incredible musician. I wish he could of lived longer on earth performing. RIP PRINCE the one and only purple prince
Musical genious. The best artist of the world, Prince 4ever
Yessssssssss Henry !!!
One of many lets keep it real
Exactly Henry! There's no other like him!
Yes I agree peace & blessing love to the world
The best
There will never be another. I miss his live performances. A true musical genius. RIP ❤️🙏🏽
I agree! Never.
I’ve seen him live - 5 times! Never the same. I miss my brother so much. At least we have the music and the performances.
So true 💜😔💜
Truth Indeed
Eternally Alive in Our Hearts 💕
Saw Prince in concert in the 90s - it felt like we were in musical 🎶 heaven for two hours. Thank you Prince. RIP 💜💜💜💜💜💜
His look and style from head to toe was on POINT yasss clean cut and everything
I hate too say this now, I love his music and the whole of who he was, but honey he had a cute butt, and a sly sexy smile.!! Rip sweet Prince.
That man was sexy head to toe!
Yeah I am right there with u.
Why hate to say it? I had a man tell me his wife tells him she loves him all of the time but...if she had the chance to do it she would sleep with Prince. I had a gay woman tell me she would sleep with Prince. Another very conservative married woman told me she would. I would but it would have been murder. I am a big girl. I would roll over and smash his skinny azz! 😆😂🤣
I love and miss Prince!
@@adc2327 well, it don't hurt too look!! Lol !! And touching may get ya in trouble. But sometimes it's worth the Hassel!! Lol
Always a prince fan from the beginning. He DIED VERY SICK .RIP
This man was unbelievable.
Watching him perform kept your eyes locked
Agree, can not take attention and eyes off of Prince.
WHAT A prince you are 4ever!!! Yr talent will live 4ever. You will never be forgotten. Rest in yr kingdom sweet prince
Rest well Prince 💜
We love and miss you Bruh 💜
This man has (had) more talent in his little finger than any of us have in our entire body. What a LEGEND
I love this man and had the pleasure of attending one of his concerts . Magnetic and explosive
I went to three and his club in Vegas where my sister and I danced with him and took pictures on my pink flip phone. Next day we continued our road trip to the east coast. Going thru New Mexico at night we saw a huge UFO. Took a video of it on THAT FLIP PHONE. next am turned phone over to MUFON investigators ( Had to give phone not copies of pics) they kept my phone and paid me 140 bucks for it months later with an official UFO #! I should have kept the phone with all my pictures.
saw him in Oakland
I was lucky enough to see him in Sydney. Best concert ever and He was Magnificent.
This was my guy!!! He was intelligent, funny/witty, sly and knew how to work an audience! Gosh how I miss his music. He was also sexy as can be!!!
Excellent, back when everything was real .
First note just brought tears of joy. While seeing this and knowing Prince is no longer with us those tears turn to sorrow.
He is always with us sprit 🙏🏾❤️
😢
💜😔💜
Let me tell you a confidence, we are all gone soon.
He was transcendental 💜
The lyrics of this song is just pure love.
Ridiculously talented. He was a gift to us. There is a void as to the music, he would still be màking. He also, through his sexuality, said it was OK, for men to be playful, to adore, to accept a masculine femininty. I am so glad, that we were given the time we had with him. He was always a part of our kitchen dances on a Friday night.
Wanna Know How To Make Love To A Woman? ! Watch Prince In Purple Rain!!
@@AndreaTAndreaT bit of a leftfield response, but thanks for the advice Andrea 🤩
That’s how legends do it
Only the fabulous Prince could have a audience of all races, all ages, both male & female, on the Oprah show no less, on their feet dancing, clapping and singing his music along with him. Everybody loves Prince. He was/is oh, so special. ELECTRIFYING. That was Prince. Miss him and his wonderful self everyday. We will never have another like Prince.🇺🇸🙏✌🦋☘🇺🇸
He was SO BEAUTIFUL
He is ROCKING! He is the only performer who makes the live performance BETTER than the recorded version. Amazing. On POINT! Everybody is singing and jammin’ along! GOAT!!
Prince had a beautiful voice, handsome gentleman, intelligent, looked good in anything he word
He was the very best. one of my favorite Prince songs. I remember when this show first aired on Oprah show. I made sure i had my VCR set so I wouldn’t miss it!😁His passing left a huge empty hole in my heart, I truly miss him a lot! There will never be another Prince Rogers Nelson may he RIP. ❤️💜❤️💜
What year was this?
lol not the VCR!! But yes girl it was that serious. 😂
My grandma (an older white lady from the south) and I had to watch him on Oprah that day. My grandma nearly exploded with joy 🤩 and excitement. Now that’s an artist!
What's a VCR?
Thanks for uploading, love and miss him so. We all do. The World truly lost an Icon.
You’re spot on I can’t wait for my memorial arm tattoo is finished💟💟💟💟
@@karolyntierno4403 I would love to see the tattoo when it's done.
@@barbaradaniel4994 absolutely 💯 I'm doing small pieces at a time so far have love symbol and dove 🕊 with a purple tear drop💜💜💜💜💜
@@karolyntierno4403 Thanks, and love your Reply, I think that is wonderful your getting a tattoo of him. I bet it's going to be beautiful, because hey it's Prince.
I love TLC's version too. Rip to Prince and Left eye ❤️❤️.
YES! They did a good job! T-Boz said Prince came to see them in concert 🙂
The songwriting and nuance of the lyrics has always made this my favorite Prince song. You don't often find lyrics with a man asking a woman " if i was your gilfriend" would you let me ( fill in the blank) So unique , so Prince. RIP
Agreed. I’ve done some deep dives of his lyrics of songs I somehow missed. On paper, the lyrics didn’t really make sense or was just OK. When I saw the video and/or heard the music of certain songs, I was blown away!! He had the ability to create like a scientist in a lab. All the ingredients with the secret sauce of his presence and performance, was just unlike anyone else. Weird that several people just did not understand “If I Was Your Girlfriend” though.
THIS MAN 3RD EYE WAS WIDE OPEN. GENIUS. ♊WE ARE!!!
He never lip synced. The only performer in the world when his Mic 🎤 was alway on!!!
A Legend in the music industry who made a big impact and is sorely missed.
It’s sad that prince was performing in pain for many years🙏🏿
Luv and miss him everyday. May the dawn set upon u in heaven. RIP
I still get amazed every time I see a clip or a video of the artist that we know as Prince.
He gave a great performance at the World Music Awards in Monaco in 1994. Check it out.
He actually destroyed the halftime show in 2008.
Wait… what? Purple Rain in the Rain?
Prince underrated superstar ❤
That song is not only a classic, but such an amazing groove altogether.
Well said.🙂
The one and ONLY, His Purple Badness. 👑
Your talent is forever missed. 🥀 🙏🏽
Love Prince Roger Nelson
The best performer of all times...love you my darling prince. God bless. Justice for Prince Michael and Whitney in Jesus mighty name. Amen Amen Amen
He appears to be floating across the stage😍
Thanks for uploading
Prince ,my love . Thanks you for the music , with tears in my eyes.
My kids can't believe am still missing prince so much I play all his songs everyday it make me feel so much better within 🙏
Had the pleasure of seeing him in concert.
I think he and Michael Jackson had a superior uniqueness to arrange, choreograph, write, envision songs, moves, you name it. So much lost….😭😭😭
To have been there would have been a dream come true for me!!💜💜💜
I never ever met my Brother Prince. But this guy and his band put out some damn nice songs over the years. Plus he had produced and written songs for other artists as well. There's one thing I noticed with that Brother, no matter how much years passed by, Prince always had that YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE!
Truth Indeed AMEN
Magic
He was such a GIFT! Thank GOD we had him when we did 🥰🥰.
I grew up with this man’s music.
Ive only been shook by 2 famous peoples deaths. Prince and George Michael.
Prince will be with me forever.
I miss him so so much…………..
Yes, same with me. I cried when both artists died. They both were amazing talents who were gone too soon but their music lives on in our hearts, minds and souls.
I miss him...
ICONIC ROYALTY!
There needs to be a movie about this legend!!! Miss him so much will always Prince...........................❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Man I tell you, I love Prince, we must never take anything for granted, so talented, it's nice to sit back and still see, and hear him. Man💜💜💜💯💯🎤🎤.
I miss him!
Heaven is lucky to have my parents and Prince❤️🙏🏾
My condolences for your lost parents. Had he the opportunity, Prince would have explained to you that they, and now he, are asleep in death awaiting a resurrection to a paradise on earth.
I saw Prince in concert and I was hypnotized by him. He was a beautiful man
I saw him in Madrid three times. I was very young and I will remember it for the rest of my life. I LOVE him💜💜💜💜💜
Prince was a handsome mane tho him and Michael jackson but micheal jackson is the in all be all for me!
Prince was the only man who wore heels and bodysuits that I would've married without a hesitation!
I miss him dearly. He will forever be my favorite male artist. He had a talent like no other. And when he went home with God, prince is making sure to rock heaven everyday and night
What a dance&song💞 Prince's the best&vocal too💞
Prince will always be missed. There will never be another, and we lost a great talent the day he left this world. Rest eternally in Paradise, Prince Rogers Nelson💜💜💜💜
This was one of favorite song by prince and still love you prince.
There will never ever be another Prince 💜👑💜. The greatest of all time. Oh how I miss him 😔💝
As long as Prince is in your heart, he is still with you. Memories never die.......
Absolutely. Eternally in Our Hearts and it just takes 1 single clip like this and The Love comes flooding back. 4ever in our Hearts beloved genius ♥ Prince 🤴 ♥ 💜 ❤ 💖 💙 🤴
Prince the greatest artist and performer who ever lived the iconic sexy songs timeless Rip in peace in your purple heaven Enterally and God Bless you always Goat 🐐😘
Still get goose bumps watching his performance , just unbelievable how talented he is . i love this man so much and had the pleasure of witnessing his concert at Madison Square Garden . i was completely blowned away. Just like when i saw " Purple Rain "
Pure talent. No TH-cam, no fake. Just raw talent.
This is the first time seeing this. I never knew that Oprah had Prince on her show. Prince was so darned Talented, wasn't he.
This was such a wonderful treat! Why am I screaming right now like this is just yesterday! PURE PERFECTION!!! I really miss THIS GENIUS! I will never forget seeing his Purple Rain Tour in 1984 with my husband- back then highschool sweetheart at the Cow Palace - floor seats section B, row 29 seats 14 & 15! Ending his last performance with NO BAND -Just his piano and Mic Tour on March 4, 2016 -5 weeks before he passed on! I cried for 2 weeks straight and still tear up to his Purple Rain song! His last gift to us was at the Oakland, Ca Oracle Area Sec 106, row L seats 10 & 11. The clarity of his voice and piano was truly amazing, no interruptions on a band just him! What a BEAUTIFUL Gift! It was perfection! My husband and will never ever forget those performances!
Prince: so beautiful, talented and charming!💕💕💜💜💜💜💜💜
I remember this episode with Prince! Probably the most watched episode of Oprah ever. 😎💜
Omg this makes me so happy and sad at the same time. I'm a die hard forever. Rip my love
When Prince was with us he wouldn't allow any of his videos or performances to be posted. It's a shame that now we have all this material here to enjoy but not the man himself
Yes I know the feeling I miss him so much. It's got so bad that I even met someone that was born June 7 in April this year.
Oh wow
He was underrated as a dancer!! He and Michael... there will never be anyone like these two!
This song is the BOMB!!!
The word is "consummate"! Prince was one of the most electrifying performers in history.
PRINCE WAS/IS BRILLIANT!!!
I love this! Prince the greatest musician of my time! Rest in peace....
🎉
Prince was a TRUE PERFORMER and a REALLY GREAT ENTERTAINER. I am glad 🌝 that I got the chance to see him in person, in real life, before he passed away. 🌷
I saw Prince perform live at Wembley. A unique performer of extraordinary talent whose music will live on forever as even new fans discover his work.
Damn I miss prince…. ❤❤❤❤❤
I love this man. When he passes I cried like he was my favorite uncle!!!!❤❤❤❤
I rediscovered this childhood jam shortly after his death. One of the most iconic basslines ever created. Sidenote: At this point, Oprah show had been on since I was a little kid and I don't ever remember seeing this many men in the audience! Lol. The power of Prince....
