Prince Rogers Nelson: ‘Every song was either a prayer or foreplay’
By Lisa Respers France and Eliott C. McLaughlin, CNN
Prince Rogers Nelson’s music transcended genres and generations. There were songs you could sing every word to, ditties that drove you to dance and ballads so poignant in their descriptions of love and life that anyone could relate.
Simply put, not that anything with the mercurial musician was simple, Prince had more hits than most musicians have songs in their catalogs.

Here's a Prince story: A guy I know was in a restaurant and noticed Prince, not wanting to bother him for an autograph he asked a waiter to tell Prince that he would pay for his meal, the waiter came back and said Prince said thank you- but no thanks. Prince shortly left. When the bill came for his own meal the waiter told him it was already paid for by Prince. What a low key class move. RIP Legend.
That's a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing!
majorsmythe1. It's these kind of stories that bring tears to my eyes , he was such a classic- man with LOVE for everyday people. Why Why ??? #soFullOfLove
Though I think the guy would have preferred if Prince went up to say hello
Pepsi Man probably too busy
Andres Gomez hey now be nice
Larry King has been in his eighties since the eighties
Edit: RIP Larry King, great man. But WTF HE WAS ONLY IN HIS EIGHTIES? Kinda makes my joke redundant ngl
😂👍
😄😆 hilarious.
True
60s
Lol I was just telling my self that he always been old 😂
I AM 82 YEARS OLD AND LOVE PRINCE MORE TODAY, THAN YESTERDAY! I WILL SEE HIM AGAIN IN HEAVEN ONE DAY!
🙏🙏
How beautiful ❤️
In 63th...feal similar👍🙂
I hope you have many more years to live, and I know you will see Prince in Heaven one day ❤
I just got the chills!
Prince and Michael Jackson. We had two unique human beings and unparalleled talents, at the same time. How lucky were we ?!
Jackson was a fantastic singer and dancer.
Prince was a musical genius.
Writer/composer/producer/arranger, singer, drummer, bassist, keyboardist, and an incredible guitarist.
@@NoLefTurnUnStoned. Don’t forget writer (for MJ) too. His solo compositions are some of his most celebrated songs: Billie Jean, Beat It, Don’t Stop ‘til You Get Enough, Bad, Smooth Criminal, The Way You Make Me Feel, Wanna Be Startin’ Something. The list of the classic songs written without Co-writers is endless. Completely agree with you about Princes’s exceptional multi instrumentalism though. He was incredible in that respect.
I think Prince’s quality control could be a bit questionable though. He released A LOT of stuff, much of it not that great (especially after Diamonds & Pearls) whereas Mike’s quality control was far tighter. Just my opinion of course ☺️
@@glennmason6982 agree 💯
And we still have Stevie
I was never a fan of MJ.
The world seems a little less cool without Prince walking around in it...
💜A lot less cool.🎸🎶🎤🎹🎵💜
A LOT LESS cool, for sure.
@Darrin Robinson why do you believe it would be pronounced that way?
@Darrin Robinson I found it very hard to keep a straight face and not laugh at the audacity you seem to have.🤦🏻♀️ You claim most people ignorant and uneducated all while YOU spew a huge load of undeserved, self-righteous, misspelled, incoherent, and incomplete ideas hid in a mess ignorant word vomit.🤔 I believe you are attempting to say that most people are ignorant and unthinking sheep, and instead you prove yourself to be exact those things. Your thoughts are unfinished and prove that you have not come to these conclusions or had ideas on your own. I don't believe you to have the education, reasoning, deductive skills, nor the common sense to come up with most of what you said by your own volition. You give out the impression of a person that has heard these ideas from someone much more educated than yourself. Now you are attempting (quite poorly if I may add) to recite dated and uninteresting rhetoric that I'm sure you have heard or had taught to you your whole life.😒
The "Love Symbol o(-+>" is not a symbol of any "deity"!😄 It is an image that was invisioned by, designed by, and created by none other than Prince Rogers Nelson himself . The symbol is meant to be a physical representation of his marriage to Mayte, their life together, the growth of their love, and him choosing to leave his past behind a become a new (and perhaps better) man. It is based in the combination of the symbols for male and female to show he and Mayte are now joined together, as one, in marriage. The cross line is used to represent how their love grew from something small and that it will continue to grow. Because Prince created the symbol, he is the only person that has the right to give it a name, pronunciation, meaning, or (thanks to it being copyrighted) a purpose and use.
Please, in the future you should take the time to educate yourself, or know what you're talking about, before you make a public comment that does nothing but put your ignorance on display. Unless you enjoy being laughed at and embarrassed, I suggest you take time to proof read what you write before you post. Be sure to check for incomplete sentences, unfinished ideas, improper grammar, spelling errors, and ESPECIALLY unprovoked hate speech.
@Darrin Robinson you have talked in many circles, contradicted yourself multiple times, rambled on without making a coherent statement, presumed to know things that you are obviously clueless about, lashed out at me with ignorance and hate because I apparently offended you, and somehow managed confused me so much that I feel dizzy! I cant even piece together enough to deem a comprehensive reply. I value my time, effort, and sanity more than it will take for me re-read your comments, try to decipher whatever point you are really trying to make, or attempt to put them into cohesive thoughts. I mean, you have shockingly stated twice that you dont believe in ANYTHING. That is such an abstract thought that I cant even grasp the concept of it. I've never met a person who doesn't believe that anything. That must mean nothing has ever existed in time or space except you. Like, do you live so far out in deep space that there is nothing except you, alone and floating around as the only thing that exists or has ever existed? If that's the case, then perhaps you can take some solace in the knowledge that I'm nothing more than your imagination. By using your "no belief" logic, none of these comments are even real and are nothing more than a delusion you are experiencing. All of this, everything ever created or imagined, including the delusion of a planet, and the concept of life, humans, emotions, language, and every thought, sound, or image you have ever experienced are not real. They cant possibly exist because YOU dont believe in "anything". I however believe that I exist and I know that im am not floating in a void of nothingness. I wish you clarity of mind, that you discover something to "believe in", and that another being comes into your existence by somehow finding it way to you. What a lonely life you must have to live. 🙁🤷🏻♀️
Prince has the type of silent confidence I wish to have one day.
At peace with himself
Confidence is always silent!
Lucia Lu arrogance screams...And usually no one wants to hear it. Prince with so classy.
@@Borinquena1973 :Mostly insecurity screams.
I agree.
One of the most interesting interviews I’ve ever scene with a musician. Calm, collected, no shit talk, very respectful and clean. RIP Prince… 🟣
You should check out Hendrix interview that man was smooth,calm,funny,charming but also very tired he never got sleep so he may come off as a little irritated but still very nice
seen
Couldn't have put it better if I'd tried. Thanks.

So true ... nice to hear the man express himself thoughtfully and quitely in this intimate venue. Plus, there is no loud, raucus studio audience hooting and cheering and whooping and whistling for the guy. Try listening to Prince speak during an interview on The Arsenio Hall Show, it's pointless.
The epitome of musical genius.
How can u tell
He’s amazing!!! And I’m using present tense on purpose cause he is still amazing

I would NEVER let my girl around prince. Not even his damn body in the casket. Rest in peace to the only man who can take your girl in high heels.
+King Quan Da Vet LMAO

lmfao
+King Quan Da Vet Given that his body was cremated, and his final resting place is a secret, I don't think you'll have anything to worry about. ;D
yeah you got that right!! haah
Prince was so smart. He didn’t rush an answer. He chose his words wisely. Gotta love that. Gosh, I miss him!
I can’t I still Love and have a super crush on him ever!!!!!!
I miss him to 💔 He was such a humble person 😪
Aileen Kelly The Bible says that’s known as a wise soul. One too quick to answer is a fool. He will truly be missed by many.
Aileen Kelly he would of lived had he had the surgery he needed instead he went for the pain killers
I miss him too
He has a voice so soothing and calm. Could listen to him speak all day!
Same here I'm going to replay as soon as it finished❤️🥰
Incredibile la sua " normalità", il suo contegno, il suo garbo, al di fuori dalla scena.Indimenticabile Principe.❤️💙💜
I don't understand how a straight talker can be deemed unusual. The man said what he said. He was just hypnotic and intelligent... he was an original and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that!
Prince had such a beautiful calm spirit.
unfOrtunately v
+Venancia Hopkins 3:21 Oh! They do? ..............................
you are so right! a beautiful soul....
+Venancia Hopkins Yes a beautiful soul, just like Michael Jackson.
Ronnie Mead Only this interview is a treat for the ears and brain when MJ interviews are creepy, embarrassing and not sincere (I still love him though).
Prince was definitely on a higher frequency ....
Yes .
Explain to me what exactly that’s supposed to mean

@@deanurschel9161 it means he's enlightened. Vibrating wayyy higher than surface level 👑
Basically he was fighting against the powers that control the music industry. Entertainment is much dirtier than people understand.. actually if someone explained it to you, you probably wouldn’t believe it lol
Here we see two men that were at the top of their respective professions sitting across a desk and having an incredible conversation. Beautiful.
One of the greatest electric guitarists of all time. God he could shred. I remember the day he passed and everyone I knew was mourning him. I love when the whole town of Minneapolis was colored purple during the Super Bowl halftime tribute to Prince. Awesome. Game. Blouses.
😢❤
You rite Matthew, I always knew Prince could shred, understand, I hold a shredder to a higher caliber, SRV, dimebag.
He doesn't shred, Gary Moore shreds, Prince just has perfect technique and melodic genius
Also a Phenomenal bass player. A true virtuoso and multi instrumentalist. Probably the greatest Pop musician of all time along with Paul Mccartney.
Prince had more talent in his little finger, than most musicians have in their entire body.
His speaking voice alone is so relaxing
truly a Gemini
@@anndavis2920 ahaha im a Gemini as well
Yeah huh?! I have Always Said..... Prince Rogers Nelson and Jim Parsons should do Children's Books on Tape.... For kids aged 1 to 5 years old..... Toddlers the world over need a loving, calming and sometimes even a funny little voice. Both of these cats embody that Love and Happiness Vibe. Case in point..... This Interview and the Cartoon Movie, "Home"........ Just the Best and the Cutest Ever..... EVER, In The History of Ever.
@@anndavis2920 .... Is Jim Parsons a Gemini?! LOL.
@@anndavis2920 It has nothing to do with that bullshit pseudoscience. Gee where’s my soft spoken voice
His voice was hypnotic...I could listen to him talk all day
Larry?
+Kat Martin2016 I know! I love his singing voice, but his speaking voice is so soft, and almost hypnotic. I would have loved to just sit and talk to him about all things about life. And I love some of the folks comments about how beautiful he is. He was something very special and beautiful. RIP Precious man
Susie A Also, his eyes....there was like an intense smoldering sexiness combined with a fragile vulnerability all at once in his eyes...... He just had "it"....it's something hard to define.
Well, said. He seems so vulnerable in a way. And Honey, you are so right. Those eyes could easily melt your heart. So talented, but so soft and loving.
Susie A ;)
PRINCE is so REAL! He runs the interview with his Truth, not the media's.
I was just thinking that, he doesn’t harp his voice once his words lead the way. Real as they get
yes he did
Sadly lost far too early, but he lives on through his musical genius. Legends never die.
He had one quality so unpopular today - humility. It seems to me he doesn't see a point in talking much about himself, he is interested in art, he liked his work, quality.
I get what you mean. I don't think it's about humility as much as it's about being private. Today celebrities - for a plethora of reasons but mainly, I guess, because they lack real talent or creativity to talk about something else - overshare their personal life and people or fans are way more obsessed about it (g.e: social media hysteria)
That’s the first time I see someone say that Prince is humble lmao. He was a lot of things but certainly not humble!
@Kiersten J He was confident in his art, and proud of it, yes. But he was not into ego tripping, posting his face everywhere etc. He wanted people to talk about his music, not about him personally. That's what I consider humble.
Plus, he worked hard, very hard on his music.
Chiaroscuro Prince was far from humble
@@stephenson19861 Preach! I totally agree.
Prince kinda had it all, looks, talent, intelligence, kindness, strong work ethic, friendliness, fearlessness and brilliance.
watching the prince on stage is the same with watching him on interview or on other situations full of inspirational positivisme so awesome
Yep he had it all. He had it ALL. He wasn't tall muscular or anything he just exuded pure class and what a man should be, or really anyone should be. Wow.
He was WEIRD looking and acting.
Billy Pilgrim
He lacked height.
ann landers Wait, aren't you an MJ fan? I've seen you in the comments on MJ vids. As a fellow MJ fan AND a Prince fan too, I have to ask, why insult a fellow artist? I don't see the point.
People called many artists "weird". Michael and Prince included. But, in all actuality, a lot of em were just expressing themselves in a way that may be foreign for an everday person.
Such a soft spoken gentleman. Down to earth, sincere. I will never forget his incredible riff during George Harrison’s Rock n Roll Hall of Fame ceremony. Pure talent. Such a loss.
It’s Dec 31, 2022 and I am still learning new things about this amazing artist. Loved him back in the 80’s when my mom took me and my sis to the Purple Rain concert on DEC 3, 1984 at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. Still listen to him everyday and love It. Sad he is no longer with us .
Greatest pure musician of all time. 💜 🎸
It must be a beautiful memory to share with your parent.
@@AamuAuroramy mom loves prince and i swear I slept on him and now he's just something i look at not like a myth but a literal musical legend creator of magic crazy shit but prince just feels like it
So extroverted on stage, and so soft spoken off stage. Prince was one of the most fascinatingly enigmatic and uniquely talented artists of our time.
Jayce Moon in Pisces.
just like mJ
Alot like one of his idols...jimi hendrix
So powerful yet so soft. An enigma.
I miss him. 💜
Prince comes across as kind, sensitive, charming. Very impressive.
My mother met him in 79 when she was pregnant with me thru my uncle who was his road manager from 79- 87. She said he was very sweet and somewhat shy and smelled beautiful and his hair smelled of roses and was very soft and bouncy.
@@QueenLeeMi79 your mother was pregnant by her uncle?
Trust Valentino lol
Trust Valentino This is why punctuation is so important lol
Good thing i have those traits to
The tone and cadence of his speech is so soothing. He sounds very at ease with himself in this interview.
This man was operating on such a different level than everyone else. Zappa & PrInce are the most legit pop musical geniuses of the past 50 years. Bowie too. Unbelievable time to experience
Prince for sure
@@rachelLadyDas a prince fan I still have to say michael jackson belongs on that short list of pop musical geniuses period, he's literally the most influential pop artist of all time that wrote and produced songs
Yes!
Brian Wilson is in that group too.
Agreed @@michaelsevilla3697
Every time I look in his eyes it's like he knew a secret people didn't.
He saw GOD
33! Definitely an angel
He knew he has on vicodin haha
He saw alot of stuff in his life I bet
He had gorgeous eyes! He was a gorgeous man really. I had the biggest crush on him growing up. 💕
He was 42 years old in this interview? Good lord he's beautiful!
Actually he was 41 right?
@Frost wow.. this interview. he was gorgeous
@Frost your comments are repetitive, no need to restate "your opinion" to everyone. He was a sexy , handsome man. Men have even stated "even if you're a guy, don't look into his eyes, he could make the most manly man want him." 💜
@Frost No nerve hit, just trying to help. Every comment I've read, you've inserted the same reply. It has to be embarrassing your vocabulary is limited to those 2 words, and you're clearly desperate for attention. I'll leave you to being a LOSER rather than wasting anymore time on you. ;oD
And never had his nose done.
All the glitter in his hair is fabulous! Along with everything else..he is just constantly sparkling!
Ehm
Prince's personal relationship loving God, thanking Him for igniting him with his precious gift, his spirit sparkles ✨ Prince's thankfulness to God, Glorifying Him #PrinceLoveGod
That n---a always sparklin'😆
I grew up listening to Metal and Grunge but Prince was a Guitar God in any genre of music. I like that he's soft spoken, articulate, funny and considerate in his interviews. R.I.P to Prince and Larry.
21 years later, Prince is still teaching life lessons.

asmr? yes his voice is so mellow i could listen all day :)
Prince was too cool for ASMR.
PhilanthroPwn i think the same!
They both have nice voices, but princes voice is definitely smoother and more elegant haha.
Omg! I knew I'm not the only one who thinks this. When he speaks, it's like he massaged my brain just like all the ASMR videos I watched.
His death was absolutely tragic, and I think what was most lost was not just future music, but his wise sage input he would have had over so many things.
It's incredible, how talented and gifted people can be..
This is the prettiest sexiest man that ever lived.
Girl!!!! I say the same thing!!!

yes he is
+OLUCHI OLUWASEYI LOL, but I will admit that Larry King looks like a turd next to Prince.
I can't get enough of his voice. It's like a warm, buttery syrup hugging my head.
Agreed. Beautiful voice. Beautiful soul. Clearly was murdered killed, not a doubt in my mind. ( and he knew it was coming .... ) Damned music industry. If you're talented and they get you to sign a contract you are shaking hands with the devil.
Prince Roger Nelson, I really underestimated you in life. I higher you were corny in the 80's ... But I was very wrong to judge you based upon my own failings.
Goddammit. Not everything is a conspiracy! I posted my comment as a small tribute to a great artist, not to ruminate on his death.
That may be the best description of his voice I've ever heard!
Katharine Horowitz HAHAB TRUEE
@Katherine. Careful girl, you may get pregnant from that voice.

What a beautiful image. Thank you for sharing. Now I will always think of Prince when I see a purple sky 💜
It's amazing how much love and respect this man gets, to this day. A tragically underrated Artist. Took me entirely too long to appreciate this mans work.
@@ivytripper86 I think you should go talk to more people in the 30-40 year age bracket then. I assure you, Prince is under rated.
He was the most beautiful man in the world!! Played 27 instruments. Played ALL the instruments and all vocals on his first 3 albums. He could do it all. GOAT
@Grant Liddell it means Greatest Of All Time
He treated women like crap...not a goat
I don’t doubt it but truly that sounds impossible. You mean literally EVERY instrument? I mean records and record labels lie, but it does seem feasible
28, You forgot kazoo.

+Anthony Monaghan you,vr got it spot on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! absolutely right.
40 years ago, right about this time, 1999 debuted. I was a Prince fan, for four years, prior. Watching his and Michael Jackson's rise to the heights was so surreal. Truth is, I enjoyed their music, when it was less mainstream.
Very soft-spoken. I think he loved being mysterious. Larry asked a ton of questions, but I don’t feel like I know him much better. That was part of his genius.
I regret never seeing him live
Me too.
I was lucky in that a friend had an extra ticket for his final tour, the Piano & Microphone shows. I wasn't really wanting my first time seeing him to be without a band but my friend convinced me to go. It was incredible, of course. Just a short time later, he was gone. Thankful to have witnessed him.
I saw him live twice
I saw him live and he was absolutely amazing!!! Greatest birthday present ever!!! Miss this guy...
Was thinking this Friday
How can one be this pretty and handsome at the same time
luname go to thailand. Purchase a ladyboy
lmfao!!!!!!!!!! hahahahah
Only Prince. He was a sexual being as we all are, and his music and spirituality always touch on the male and female sexuality that God gifted all of us. I love and miss him so much.
Wow!!!
Is that all you focused on, his exterior, and not what inspires him? Why are people so superficial?
Alma Montoya ...you’re being a little hard, aren’t you. Even his girlfriends, wife and close friends would say that he was beautiful and handsome to him when he was alive. It was part of who Prince was. No harm.
Prince is truly missed. Seemed like such a kind, generous, down to earth person. ❤
❤
The ultimate master Of his own craft. I love Prince when he first came out with his music. I love him after he passed away. His music will endure many, many, many, many generations. His talent was a gift to us to be able to see someone as brightest as a star could be. Rest in peace prince
Prince was a good-looking dude. Very Angelic.
Gay
@@theoldmanriverwalk9472 How is it gay? Prince is beautiful like a woman.
I’m gay, and I’m attracted to men that look like men- huge 250lbs+ men. Straight dudes, if they are going to point out looks on a man, it’s probably more likely to be on a “beautiful” male for their feminine attributes.
So I’d say it’s probably just you and me here who are gay.
And he also handles that racist remarks coming from Larry King like a real businessman. I guess when you get use to public abuse & jealousy it just rolls down your sleeves.
@UC7G-232rsD_x48WWFbyIuWw u a pussy if u scared to call someone good looking
@@theoldmanriverwalk9472 you never complimented another dude before? Did you grow up sheltered from people or something?
Men everywhere try their hardest to be hard and masculine and live up to an image. What makes a man is exuding the self confidence that comes with self acceptance. Prince wasn't afraid of any part of himself. He is a role model for masculinity in my view, whether or not those who are inspired by him are themselves a little feminine like him. That would be to miss the point.
ray h. Bruce lee
@Mebrice Depace and this is why I'm so sexually attracted to him and obsessed with him now lol
Cool description bravo
It's funny how so many focus on his level of masculinity but accept without question the reasoning to why other rock legends are even less masculine! No one questions Marilyn Manson, Kiss, Mick Jagger, Ozzie Osbourne or David Bowie to name a few. It always baffled me how they were never coined as feminine? Prince is much more masculine than half the guys in his genre! I have my opinions why he is seen in different views than the others. But...🤐✌
@Jesse Montgomery you got proof he took drugs on stage.
Still can't believe he's gone. 💔
Wow, I'm so enamored by how genuine and solemn he is. One of a kind!

People don't realize how incredibly talented prince was
What the hell are you talking about. He is one of the most renowned performers and musicians of all time. What people... ? Ones who never heard music? YOU must be the "people" you talk about.
I love the way Prince responded to King's question about him being "different". Prince raised a slight eyebrow and simply answered "as compared to what?" Oprah called him "weird". They just didn't understand him. Prince is genius and he is his own man...He never stopped being Prince...he just simply made a statement and everyone wanted to dissect it. I love you forever Prince Rogers Nelson. RIP Love.
Theresa Butts extremely well said!
I love how Prince handled that, there are many clips of Prince’s “shade” as ppl refer to it when I consider it him standing up for himself
@@tonymanfredi6844 butts
It's not that they didn't understand him. Both of them are world class interviewers. They were just asking what a lot of the audience thought about him. That's the point of high profile interview like this or Oprah, to give the subject a chance to speak to perceptions about them. Prince understood that, that's why he did these appearances.
Theresa Butts 💯💯💯💯💯💯
As appreciated as he was, Prince is still extremely underrated. Pure genius.

It's still a mystery of how Prince died in an elevator alone. Where were his bodyguards? From Ms. Harper Stacey.
People can be kind and cruel. I only wish with all his wisdom, he did what Tina Turner did, found solace elsewhere and revisit the states when he felt moved to do so and find peace performing or teaching. He was one of the most incredibly talented musician/vocalist on the planet!
@@ENYPolyglot He had physical problems, can’t remember what it was. Maybe a hip problem, if I remember correctly. He refused surgery. Think that was years before he passed. He claimed when younger that he didn’t do drugs, or wasn’t into drugs. Maybe he became dependent on opioids later, ‘cause of physical illness. He didn’t seem like a recreational drug user

I came here after watching some crap re our "president" to soothe my soul.
Reminds me somewhat of Marilyn Manson
He was so beautiful & a gentle soul who died too young, amazing lyricist & musician too. Like Freddie Mercury, he was one of the beautiful people who you couldn’t imagine living to be old & they were both taken way too soon. I hope they rest in peace, both of them.
It’s crazy this only has 5.7 million views. One of the most hidden gems of our lifetime. It should be a prerequisite for everyone to watch this inspirational video

The name (Prince) didn't "get" him famous; his talent did.
Yes, I agree.
But his talent Came From Below
I was surprised to find out that PRINCE is his real name...
I like the way Prince gives Larry respect as an elder. He says, "yes sir". He's polite. That's a big deal with stars... so many of them act like spoiled little brats, and they treat everybody like crap.

Almost all Baby Boomers were raised to respect their Elders. Something that has been lost on the generations that has followed SMH.
From his first "yes sir", I knew he was raised right and was respectful...
That's what I thought too.
Prince is, for me, the most complete and accomplished artist that has ever lived...
lol.
@@christopherpederson1021 my thoughts exactly
What a beautiful Soul. Love that he fully owned his spiritual beliefs and conviction to follow his own Path!!! RIP beautiful ONE!!!
What strikes me in this interview is how smart Prince was. He's in no hurry, you see him actually stop and think about what he's going to say. He knew how to avoid putting his foot in his mouth so to speak. I wish more artist had this quality. That they still had class.
Why would Prince being “smart” “strike” you? He was a fucking genius. 🙄
@@stila1123 Exactly
Man, Prince’s voice is so damn soothing!
Listen to that voice. He was a giant walking pussy magnet. Wish I had that voice. Then I would be sorted. :-D
@Frost his voice isn’t feminine lmao
@Frost even if that were true (it's not), the man still got more ass than a toilet seat. Under all the hair and eyeliner and heels, that man had SWAG, and it oozed off of him. Loved him my whole life.
@Frost Baby, we gotta work on your game. Lol
@Frost make a girl blush why don't you lol 😊
Great interview and Prince is so respectful. Missed.
What a cool individual, and an absolute musical genius. He is sorely missed. 💜
I love his voice, he's so calming in the way he speaks
+marky24uk A true Minnesotan. Bob Dylan is similar in that respect.
absolutely!
+marky24uk
Addiction to pain killers will do that....
+North Eagle Media Fuck off.
*****....._"autopsy"_?
My comment was merely a gelastic retort to the original post as to why he speaks the way he does. Your comments on the other hand shows how little you really know about the man...
Prince is nothing like I expected him to be in this interview. So introspective and respectful.
@Annette - Was thinking the same thing. Never watched any of his interviews but this was very enlightening. Sorta regret not having liked him a lil more when he was still here. Wasn’t expecting him to have such humility, introspection and hold such deep moral and religious principles based off his Concert performances and risky metro Sex dress attire.
But he is a Gemini ♊️ So I’m guessing there’s another suppressed personality in there somewhere The Prince in this interview, would NEVER defile his TEMPLE by using or needing Drugs. He’s lucid.... centered... zero signs of being nervous or shy. Excellent communicator, good listener, caring and I also heard he was Vegan. He held a high regard for himself, his Temple and should have lived until a minimum of 150 yrs.
Otherwise, I just can’t by into the overdose at his own 🤚🏼HANDS🤚🏼
Everyone thats a master at their craft is a genius.
He's definitely not only an incredible artist, but extremely intelligent and people underestimated him just because he wasn't in need of a lot of attention and recognition. RIP to them both. Great interview
Hell was u expecting?
@@girl123boy456 you should watch some other interviews, too. All show somewhat different parts of his character.
Also, I'm sure you probably know by now since your post was months ago, but most of us are fairly certain he only died bc he took what we now call counterfeit drugs. Pain medication that has been created to look identical to the drug you intend to take, but one that has been made by murderers mixing fentanyl with the wanted drug and "pressing" it into a mold that looks like the real pills.
If you aren't used to high levels of opioids, taking fentanyl can kill you.
No proof of that, of course, but in my opinion, his death was some degree of homicide.
The most complete artist that music has ever seen so far and a truly excellent guitar player. His solo on Purple Rain is truly memorable. Thanks Prince.
He was born to be a Rock Star. He was so gifted and talented. He is missed.
He was so soft spoken offstage.
i like Prince he is so intelligent
I still cannot believe he isn’t here . A true artist in every form . Amazing guitarist and all brilliant human . 💜🕊️
Ahhh the King and the Prince
One of the classiest, most respected human beings. A true genius. R.I.P.
Yup One of The Legends of / 🎶 and Beyond It Was In His DNA Born in His Blood line. Jimi Hendrix Rick James Prince Did / Take Some Points From Rick James and in His Earlier Days. Both out Cold Guys In 🎶 Muzic. Michael Jackson And So Many others Of All Different Shades. Of skin People Are People. I'm Not With That Race Card At All Prince Was A Mixed Person But He Touched So Many Life's God Bless Him And All The Others I Called off. And So Many More.
???? A doper???!
@@onefoot7 No. A singer and a successful song writer for other performers.
@@onefoot7a doper? He wasn't a doper.
I hate when people would call him "not normal". He was so normal it was ridiculous. He was a damn boss as an artist. We all know why he changed his name, to divorce his record company and put out his music without being tied to them. He found a loophole, that was brilliant, abnormal people don't think of that. RIP Prince Rogers Nelson
Prince was a master at being chill. No one has more swag in speaking softly than Prince. The man could literally speak and women’s panties would fall to the floor.
😂
He was such a beautiful soul 💜💐 🎵 we still miss you Prince !
Are there sparkles on him or is he just that beautiful? Wow.
Sparkles and Beauty
Helena James right 😭😭💜💍
Helena James yes. around this time he was always wearing glitter. find the video of him singing with Cheryl crow... The glitter is overwhelming lol
both.
It was the style at the time. Rick James used a lot of glitter too. Style wise that time period had a lot of bold trends like huge shoulder pads. Huge hair lots of make up. It was pure fun.
I just came back to this interview after hearing about his death. R.I.P Larry King
Me too
me too
I watched this video about one or two weeks ago. Crazy
Same.
same
❤OMG!! HOW have I missed this for 24 years!! Profoundly wonderful! Exquisite!
So cool. Prince was super chill he knew how powerful calmness is ❤
His voice and eyes are so freeeeeeeakin sensual
He was a freak in the bedroom so they say
Prince was 41 years old here.
Purple Reign the mind sees what it wants to see. Moustache cover his wrinkles. Doesn't show hands/elbows. Hair covers his hairline thus not showing his age. Ear rings and turtleneck accentuate his face.
@@jamalanewpizza6334 Black man hater right here.
@Joe Di Carlo 😂
41 , some of you guys expected him to looks like his 61 or something....
And he was such a DILF in his time period. ;)
PRINCE IS FUCKING FABULOUS WE MISS THE 80
This guy was so amazing. The rest for L. King. How calm he was. How humble he was. Total genius in so many ways. And physically incredible attractive.
Such a quiet and understated guy - what a pleasure it would have been just to sit and talk to him for an hour!
I think you'd be the one talking for the whole hour
Brandon Freeman.. You are a fkn idiot! And to you Stony, yes it would be amazing!
Settle down girls... settle down.
haha Brandon totally got it
He had a classy shyness about him.
Life isn't always about being a tuff guy......humility, class
and vanity are fleeting.!
You are so right wow
@@TrishCarmenDXB ..😘
Very low key and introspective. Hendrix and Coltrane had some of the same qualities. All genius
Cheers to that
Very vain I'd say
Such a beautiful soul💜
Prince was so well spoken, a talented song writter and a guinness musician. Who knew Larry King was this cool?!
Genius
Prince was such a beautiful soul. He was very humble and didn't let the fame go to his head. He is greatly missed.
He used his fame to tag women, you blind to it or something.it seems like later on he changed, all
Those body fluids!!!!
I've heard the opposite that he was very arrogant and had a huge ego but I've never met the man so I don't know
@@joyceboyd1838 Come on, now. A Man would do just about Anything to “tag” a woman.🤦🏾♀️ If it wasn’t Fame, it would have been Something Else.
You know I’m right. I think it’s in their DNA.😂
Prince had such a genuine child like shyness during this interview but he was straight forward and patient with Larry King
He wasn't childlike or shy.
Technically Prince is a Gemini and they are childlike and quiet when need be for the most part.
Larry King was a great interviewer. Prince is the man.
Just wow. His music is timeless. Such an inspirational soul and the intelligence displayed here reflects in all his music. A true gift.
