Prince at the 1985 MTV Awards?

Did Prince show up to accept the award for "best black album" given out by Madonna and Huey Lewis to Purple Rain? I downloaded the clip and for a sec there I though I was finally about to see Madonna and Prince share the same stage but then it stopped just after Huey says the winner is Purple Rain

That was back around the time I used to tape all that stuff, and I don't remember Prince showing up for that one. Sometimes he sent someone else to accept his awards, like Sheila E. or Apollonia or maybe even Wendy? Maybe it was one of them, if anyone?

They gave him an AMA or a Grammy (can't remember which) not an MTV award. I have the video tape soemwhere. I'm pretty sure it was an AMA.

You are right:

28 Jan, 1985 - Prince was given one of three of the AMA's he won that night by Madonna.

I would love to see that footage. Also, was this THE night? We Are the World? The bodyguards? Hello?

And by the way, why come Madonna didn't catch any heat for not going to the WATW session? Wasn't she hot shit at the time?

Then how come it's impossible to find a picture of them side by side? The org gallery should at least have one, though that facility no nonger works for me...but still! With Madonnna being tiny and all, I'd say they would look supercute together.

Every time I'm on here you orgers make me feel so young...
Doesn't it make you smile when you realize no one was there to see the stupid thing you just did?

Come to think of it, there was another time Prince and Madonna were on stage together...when she played cowbells or something during Baby I'm a Star. Dammit do people just forget their cameras when these two appear together, or is it something a bit more sinister than that?
Btw cute picture above, but not supercute.
