I have always thought of myself as a Big Prince fan , but I am nothing compared to you. The amount of research and editing you have done on these documentary style videos. Wow !! I truly appreciate your work. Thank You 😊👍
Man that’s a beautiful compliment. It’s just research anyone can do and I’m just lucky that y’all dig it! Started this thing cuz the info was out there jumbled and messy. I wanted to piece this thing together since our boy Prince was fond of messing with the media.
Every episode is always worth waiting for. My wife and I can't wait. You know it's interesting, I wasn't a big Prince fan before watching these videos. But since I have been watching more and more I noticed that I've been listening to more of his music than before.
I’ve been a Prince fan/follower since I was around 8 in the 90s. I’ve seen countless documentaries, but none of them compared to the great work that you do. The work you With your series is the best documentation on Prince. Thank you for all your hard work and research.
I used to work at the guard house at his house in 1991 and pick up my check at Paisley Park. Carmen Electra drove his black Jeep Grand Cherokee at that time. That Limo at the beginning of the video in front of Glam Slam was his Limo I'm pretty sure (Mid Eighties gray Cadillac). I saw it often when he left the house and didn't want to drive. It was kept under Paisley Park in the garage I think .He drove a new (at the time) BMW 850 in Chiquita Yellow. Which was a custom color made just for him I was told. He had given his old Black BMW 750 to his brother Duane at the time. Also some Red 1960's convertable was in his garage at his house. Sometimes if he left the light on in the garage I could see it through the window when I was walking up the driveway doing my rounds to make sure no one was on the property. We would walk out, up the driveway past the house to this huge windmill he had in his back yard. Inside the windmill was a clipboard we would sign every hour to show we did our rounds. He had the house torn down later and moved into Paisley Park. I was long gone by then. I could tell you tons of stuff I saw. It was interesting time. I was just a guard at the guard house at his home then. The guard house was at the end of his long driveway, just outside the gate. We (usually two of us at night) worked in an 8x8 guard shack with a bunch of camera monitors a small black and white TV and a coffee maker. We could open the gate with a regular garage door opener so you could take it with you to open and close the gate when you did your rounds or needed to get on the property.. If I remember correctly only himself and Carmen had a gate openers in their car. Everyone else had to get us to open the gate. But obviously it wasn't that busy at night. I did work some day shifts and they were a little different. The bathroom was a porta potty, even in the winter. So it surely wasn't glamorous. But I'll never forget that time and all the stuff I saw. I also went with my friend who got me the job once after work (got off at 7:00am) to Shiela E's house to feed her dogs because she was in Japan and my friends wife and Shiela were friends so he was feeding her dogs while she was gone. That was a trip. She had a big yellow drum set in the living room. I just followed him so I don't remember where she lived but it was in Chanhassen also on a lake about 10 minutes from his house. His house was just down the road from Paisley Park. Great memories. I still have my security uniform. Lol. Thanks for the content.
@@Sinnik22 Hello. I don't remember other than it probably came up in my suggestions. I was so surprised when he died because when I worked there everyone knew he hated drugs and alcohol. After he passed away I started watching videos about him. It reminds me of being young and a different time. I wrote very little about what I remember. But what I know is not very interesting to most people. It's mostly very personal stuff about how everything ran back then at his house. I was working the night he was on Arsenio for Diamond's and Pearls. I watched it on a 13" black and white TV in the guard house that night. Lol. Thanks for the content!
Wendy said it clear from the get go. None of the women in Prince's life were ornaments. At least the ones we know about. Let's say that shall we. Plus. It's none of our business. But, Prince like Elvis had power of attorney. Elvis over Priscella. Now I hear it over Mayte. But, that was the law of the land. It's funny Elvis met Priscella over in Germany as well. The difference was Prince wasn't in the Army like Elvis. He was on tour. Mayte's Mom was instrumental in pushing her Daughter's career. She made sure Prince get a video of Matye's work up until then. Priscella was 14yrs old when she started hanging out with Elvis.
"Chili's too little" Lol! Say what?😆This coming from a guy who barely cleared 4 foot 2? Really? The nerve Lol 😄Anyways, I never knew P and Chili were even ever tight like that. As a matter of fact, I don't think I've ever come away from any of your videos without acquiring more than a few fun Prince facts I never knew- just one of several reasons why this is the best Prince-centric channel on TH-cam. As always, can't hardly wait for the next one. Keep doing what you're doing. Your contribution to preserving Prince's legacy is invaluable.
@@GuardedCrown It is kinda ironic given that Prince was only at most 5'3"-5'4" tall. But then again given that I'm taller than 5'4", Chili, who's height is 5'0" is short for me.
Your videos / creations are just phenomenal exactly what Prince wud appreciate i believe so much is done to emulate his style - unbiased and so entertaining. How you have the time to create so many is so impressive again dedication to your art another comparison - its an event I have to plan for, to sit down and concentrate on the barrage on audible ad visual information our work provides- just brilliant!!
@@Sinnik22 when they say he says Carmen is a “really good rapper” but it is laced throughout Latoya Gaines nails it too. But she might have been confusing Ingrid with Carmen
Talk to Casey ☺️. Don’t forget, there were 2 charts of record back then. 1. Billboard 2. Cash box. In the 90’s Casey severed ties with the billboard chart & started counting down the cashbox chart. The theme then changed from American top 40 to Casey’s Coast to Coast.
@@Sinnik22 Casey is gone 😢🙏. Yes, I remember back in 1991, Billboard based everything on sales not opinions anymore. I was a Casey Kasem top 40 countdown listener and read Billboard magazine. This was back in May 1991 and I saw Mariah Carey get her 4th #1 song when the week prior it was stuck at #8 for two weeks. Like huh? I remember that time
@@blackamerican40 what I mean is that Diamonds and Pearls was number 1 for cashbox magazine. If Think Rolling Stone magazine had its own chart too. Great times!🥳
@@Sinnik22 i mean, IT IS! He caught feelings for a 16 yr old girl!! This dude could get ANY GROWN WOMAN but he catching feelings for a LITTLE BABY GIRL??! 🤢

Does anyone think that he would have been more successful in the movie business if he was still alive? I guess what I'm wondering is if he would have still pursued movies.
“Purple Rain” was lightening in a bottle. The likelihood of him repeating that success was unlikely as evidence by “Under the Cherry Moon” and “Graffiti Bridge”.
@@kennethrussell1158 Hi, Kenneth! Don't get me wrong. I loved PRN in Purple Rain and Sign ☮️ the Times. I still think Under the 🍒 🌚 is entertaining. But, Graffiti 🌉......well I enjoyed the music! 😁 Yes, big names like Diana Ross and Janet Jackson have been blessed with successful acting careers. However, IMHO they're taken way more seriously when it comes to acting.
My favorite associate quote: "Do not give up the draw-ahs!" And...despite all the Mayte dissers out there, she was truly ethereal and enchanting doing her ballet/ belly dancing on the D&P's Tour. Her interpretation of hip hop moves, especially during the later choreography, wasn't nearly as compelling. Hey, can you find the clips of the PP catfight between Mayte and some rando chicks in the girl's room that Troy Beyer stumbles into during The Ryde Divine TV special, plus the video of Mayte and Prince lying on the floor, with him sensuously stroking her body (have not seen the latter in years...it could be in black and white)? Also, the video for "Strollin'" with Diamond and Pearl roller skating ?
What video was they lying on the floor and her mediocre dancing, she pulls off ballet so so her swinging her hair and Humping air isnt dancing or ballad, no diss just FACTS
@@greenishscott6830 Not sure it was a video...it was footage of them. I saw it 2-3x, within months after he passed, and then it vanished. It's only about 90 seconds long: Mayte is lying passively on the floor, while Prince is running his hands over her body. Someone out there has to know what I am referring to.
Who knows how old she was magazines states she met Prince at 16 and started working for him when she was 18, i read a lot of comments on different blogs stating the same, but she also put in her book her mother often told her to lie about her age so who knows the truth when people can only believe half of what mayte states

It's funny how Prince was holding Jill's contract and not releasing her, he was doing exactly what WB did.
no Prince waited to get estableshed to be released. jill wasnt established yet.
