Guitar kings.

Prince was inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. There was a tribute to the Beatles' George Harrison at that same ceremony and some of the greatest guitarists came on stage to perform While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Prince stole the show.

On stage: Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lyne, PRINCE, etc.

He was african American, but why o earth did he look so white??
Lots of african americans have that complexion. However, if you want further explanation I can tell you the rumour that was making the rounds in Nigeria in the 1980s (it was first told to me by my sister in 1986).

The nigerian version goes like this. Princes father is actually an arab prince and that's why he has that light complexion. It also explains why his name is Prince.

(The story is not true o!)

That was before he became fully gay?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

grin grin grin

The media wrote a lot of nonsense about Prince and Michael Jackson in order to sell their papers and increase ratings. Don't believe everything the media says. One minute a magazine would write that Prince is gay, the next minute the same magazine would write that he is anti-gay, then they would flip back and write that he is gay again. They just want to make money.

Who's vanity?
Everybody knows that The New Power Generation was Prince's band. He also mentored quite a few other people (most famously Apollonia).

Vanity was one of Prince's proteges. She was the lead singer of Vanity6 which was produced by Prince. She later became his girlfriend. She left him just before the Purple Rain movie. Apollonia took over her role in the movie.

Prince is not dead, he just hopped in his little red Corvette with his Raspberry beret and drove off thru the Purple rain and over Graffiti bridge, under the cherry moon. Because this is what happens when Doves cry. Unknown.... RIP
Fantastic!

It's a pity that he didn't want his songs on Youtube. I would have posted a lot of them on this thread.

I love Purple Rain o! But sometimes I just want to fast forward it to Prince's guitar solo at the end. Just turn off the lights, turn on the A/C, lie down and listen to Prince PLAY.

Pure heaven.

Purple Rain
Raspberry Beret
When Doves Cry
Sign O' The Times
Little Red Corvette
Kiss
1999
The Most Beautiful Girl In The World

Etc. Thanks for the memories.

I remember when he came to an award show in the 1990s with half a beard and half a moustache. I remember when he changed his name to a symbol (while protesting against his record company).

Purple Rain was one of the biggest movies in Nigeria in 1985.

Thanks for the memories and the awesome guitar playing (the solo on Purple Rain was out of this world) cry

Back in the mid 1980s the media did everything possible to create a rivalry between Prince and Michael Jackson. There were all kinds of crazy rumours and stories.

For example, many Nigerians will tell you (back in 1985) that the reason that Prince wasn't on the "USA For Africa" album was because Michael Jackson was there. The rumour was that Prince didn't want to have anything to do with Michael Jackson. Of course that story is false. Prince contributed a track to the USA For Africa album, he just wasn't on the We Are The World song, and that had nothing to do with Michael Jackson.

So, when Chris Rock interviewed Prince in 1997, he couldn't resist asking that question, was there any rivalry between Prince and Michael?

3 of the greats on one stage.

James Brown brings out Michael Jackson and Prince (1983).

Prince dominates the 1985 American Music Awards.

Check out the cheers every time his video is up on the screen!

People say that Michael was crazy. I disagree. I think that Michael was quite ok. Prince on the other hand was not well at all.

You also get to see the New Power Generation in this video. (Also check out the size of Prince's bodyguard)


Remember that this is 1985, so the two gigantic albums of 1984 will go up against each other quite often. What are the two gigantic records of 1984? Michael Jackson's Thriller and Prince's Purple Rain.

Sports › Violence During/after Etoile Vs Enyimba Game. Story By Enyimba's Media Officer by naptu2(op): 6:19am On Apr 21, 2016
Farriel Alaputa (Enyimba's Media Officer) :
In all my years as an official of Enyimba, I have never experienced such lows and extreme highs from one game.

The ruthlessness of Etoile du Sahel was startling. So much so that the ref couldn't get into the dressing room during half time.

I was prevented from using my tablet, phone and camera. The head of the Abia State Permanent Secretary of Sports was cracked open by stones.

The threat of violence was so high that all Enyimba officials were on the bench during the game, the only safe place they could hide.

Despite that, rocks, iron rods and plastic bottles were rained down on the roof of the bench throughout. You dared not raise your head high.

During half time, the match officials and match commissioner were victims of the stoning and they had to retreat to the bench of Etoile.

It was our water the match officials had to drink. Etoile officials abandoned them. Unbelievable scenes. Never seen anything like that.

We are still on the road. Police escorts had to make a detour after they were informed Etoile fans were waiting for us somewhere.

Finally. We arrive our hotel. A remarkable day it's been.

We are just leaving the stadium now. Had to wait for police to deal with crowd RT @tayOgunseye: How were you able to get out of the stadium?

The streets of Monastir are deserted as our police escorts lead us back to the hotel.

@raphosemobor there were policemen in and around the stadium, however they were unwilling and unable to deal with the fans.

@IamPhikayo @ColinUdoh yes. They are all very 'passionate', we know. But in Europe this game would never even had started.

Not sure I saw one black face in that crowd the few times I looked. Every time your head went up, a stone came down

To see them score 3 goals after everything they'd done was painful but watching Afelokhai make that final save is a feeling I'd never forget


@Farriel I'm happy everything turned out well.. Hopefully you'll lay a complaint to CAF. Unacceptable conduct by Etoile du sahel

@Cybereagles you can sit wherever you are and say this. I'm not talking about performances. I'm talking about issues CAF has to deal with.
