He took her to the American Music Awards as his date, she met Prince that night and left with him.

    Thanks for sharing this, the animations are amazing. My mother loved Motown, R&B, Disco and Funk dance music, and she very much influenced my tastes in music. When I was about 9 or10, Rick James started making it big and she bought his 8 Track tape for me, and I loved the music and as I Pre-teen I definitely loved the girls in his videos. Fortunately due my exposure to Rick I soon found out about Prince. Absolutely, I consider myself lucky to have gotten exposed to such awesome music at a young age. Thanks mom!

Not just Prince and Rick James, but all of the artists that spun off from them, including Teena Marie, the Mary Jane Girls, the Time, Alexander O'Neal, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and all of their projects including the SOS Band, Boney James (who is still jamming to this day), I could go on and on.
