Listening to Prince's funniest moments on youtube and any new books about Prince?

I haven't heard Princes' voice in a long time and something made me want to go on youtube and hear him. I recently ordered Matyes' book and waiting for it to arrive. I can't wait to read it. Has anyone read any really good Prince books lately that you would recommend?

This chronicles the time before the after Purple Rain fans( rolleyes ) came along. It's EXCELLENT!

The Mayte book is a page turner. U will enjoy it.

DEFINITELY the pictures. It was so shocking to me to find out that Prince took SO MANY back then. I was under the impression he didn't like taking pictures back then. This book is my ABSOLUTE favorite out of all so far. Allen could have charged a lot more if he wanted to. It was so beautifully well done. I would have easilly paid $100.

Have you read Alan Light's book on the making of Purple Rain? - not brand new, as it was published in 2014 for the 30 yr anniversary of the film/tour. He's a good writer and has been a Prince fan since Dirty Mind. He attended the PR show as well. Great read.

Two YT video suggestions if you haven't already watched them - Prince on Larry King Live in 1999, and Prince interviewed by Kurt Loder on MTV in 1999.

And for something really funny...his CBS This Morning interview in 1998 where he pulls out a thin white cracker and starts eating it while the reporter is reciting his lyrics back to him lol Really friggin' hilarious!!
