[color=purple} Like the man Prince's parents are a mystery. For one are they both dead?

I for one like many wonder where Prince got his complexion,skin and features. Nobody looks like Prince in his family not even his sister.

I don't know what part of Minniapolis he grew up in the suburbs or the ghetto. Was Prince's father's band rock? Were they party people?


In the 80s there was talk of Prince being mixed. The movie Purple Rain didn't help. Some people thought it was really based on his life. So many thought he had a white mother and an abusive father. Prince got his name from his fathers's band but I don't know about his attitude. I don't know if anybody in the family acted liek Prince.WHere aeither of his parents short? Were they particuarly religious?[/color]

The issue of the ethnicity has been beaten to death. See FAQs http://prince.org/msg/7/145050
