Has anyone seen pictures of Prince's parents? I think I saw something when I was a teenager in the '80s and buying every fan mag I could get my hands on. He often talks about his mixed heritage. However, amongst us black folk, we've heard that one before. Instead of him mother being "a mixture of a bunch of things," I think it's safe to say that she was just light-skinned. A lot of people talk about mixed heritage, in the sense that all black people are mixed.

But then again, what do I know. I'm not hatin' on him, I just am curious to see what his folks look like. Does anybody have an photos to post? Couldn't find anything on google.

Prince's Dad:

John L. Nelson

Princes Mom:

Mattie Baker

RIP Big Pimp

Wow, LoveMachine. What a response. Awesome! What do you think about his heritage?

Those pictures are from the picture gallary on this site and if you click on them they blow up a little bit. I'm not sure of his heritage.

I met him at the local gas station when he was getting his purple BMW worked on.....Very nice man when he was alive.(To me anyways).....Brian

I heard years ago that his mom is of mediteranian heritage and his father black. Forget where..... that was in the 80's.

Itailan right?
