Not the most exciting tale but since 1985 when I was 10/11 saw purple rain on video and just loved the music got the tape and the rest is history, even managed to convert a few non believers on the way and feel good for opening there eyes to the funk.
But is it just me , I understand the whole you either love him or hate him vibe and feel people are missing out on his genius so why do I get so defensive when people slate his music, yet get wound up when everyone starts singing his praises because he's flavour of the month as if its a special thing for real fans to enjoy ( what's a real fan?), not the I quite like that last cd or let's go see prince because thats the in thing this summer . You know who you are

1978, when I was 16: "Soft and Wet" was being played all over the black stations here in Detroit (WGPR, WJLB and even the ones on AM radio, like WCHB). The song was the JAM. And when my girlfriend said to me one day in math class, "You know that guy that sings 'Soft and Wet'? Well, here's his picture:
I almost fainted. She propped his picture up on her desk so we could see it throughout math class. | |

Ah Whats... you just stole my tagline  ... 1984, playing footall with my dad in an unusually hot summer (it was Ireland after all) when lo and behold what should come booming from the radio:
The guitar intro to When Doves Cry ... result..complete shock for 20 seconds, (a goal conceded..he always was a sneaky sod, my dad) then curiousity turning to worship over the ensuing years and back to curious again and so forth!
Still love him though!! | |

Still love him though!! that´s interesting, 84 was a very hot summer in ireland, I remember it well, Liverpool were just after winning the triple and alot of football was being played, McEnroe had just won wimbledon, brilliantly against Connors, and the Dylan gig at Slane was a disaster for the village. Then TOTP´s had their usual what is no.1 in America, and i saw & heard When doves Cry, that was the beginning, a few months later I heard Lets go Crazy on radio Luxemburg, that was it and has been like it ever since  If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

1982 I heard 1999 in my music class at school. I waited for the Sunday paper that next weekend, grabbed the Columbia House Record Club insert, taped my penny to it, and ordered everything Prince I could find on it! | |

"But it was interesting to note that many people in the audience started moving out, because at least initially, Rick was no comparison to what we had all just seen out there!"
I am glad you said that. So many people I have run into have said that P was giving Rick a run for his money and so many Rick fans still live in a state of denial. You need to put this on Okayplayer.com ----- lottielooloo1968 said: PDogz said: His entire set was about 45 minutes or so of complete mayhem and frenzy! When you first entered the Coliseum, there was no curtain and everything was setup at the front edge of the stage: mic-stands, keyboards, and very few other props. The drum set was in the middle of the stage placed up on a little riser with an oval-shaped sign over it (which was first covered in canvas) that had "PRINCE" spelled out in lights, as in the logo on his 1979 "Prince" album. Everybody was just standing around, jamming to the pre-concert music that they play over the system, smoking joints, grooving, and basically waiting for Rick James. No one really knew who Prince was yet. In fact, I thought we were about to see a band called "Prince For You" (the title of his first album). I didn't know yet that Prince was an individual and not just the name of a band. I thought certainly that no one would be actually named "Prince". Then… BAMM! The lights went out, and you could make out 3 shadowy figures move onto the stage, and then stood with their backs to the audience. The rest of the band took their place, and all you could hear over the sound system was someone speaking in a low, sort of foreboding tone: “Char-lotte! Are you ready for me?” The drum roll hit, the stage lights came up, and Andre, Prince, and Dez turned and all charged about 4 or 5 steps toward the audience – and everybody freaked the Hell out! These guys looked scary as shit! The one in the middle (who I soon learned was Prince) had this spiky hairdo, full make-up, a pink leather motorcycle jacket, panties, black stockings, and pumps! The audience reaction was pure fright! Then Prince reached around to his back, pulled his guitar around to the front, then the whole band started jamming “Sexy Dancer”, and the crowd quickly got over their fright and started rocking to the music and jamming along - all hands were in the air. By the end of that first song, everybody was like: “Oh shit! This guy AIN’T playing!” The party was ON full blast! Their play list consisted of songs from his first two albums, but the song they did that most sticks out in my mind is when they played “Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?”, because Prince was ad-libbing a lot. Like:
Why you wanna treat me so mean? Is it the style of my hair? But what completely blew people away was when they played their encore: “I Wanna Be Your Lover”. Prince went mad, threw off that cool ass pink leather jacket, peeled off his stockings, threw them at the audience, and was running around the stage jamming to the beat with nothing but his guitar, bikini underwear, and high-heeled boots (with little stars on the side). And then once he was done jacking-off the microphone (as if he were giving it head - Prince was a real whore on stage back then), tossed his guitar to the side, reached his hand down into his panties to cover his dick, and pulled his panties all the way down to his knees, gyrating toward the audience with only his hand covering his dick! WTF!!! The audience was going crazy! At the end of his set, Prince said “Damn Charlotte, we’re gonna have to come back here again soon!” And that was it! I was a stoned-cold Prince fan! I started telling people about Prince the next day! At that point, everybody was standing around like they had completely forgot about Rick James. But the roadies came out and moved all of Prince’s stuff off stage, the sign over the drums came apart into two pieces and they removed that. But what really tripped me out was once all of Prince’s equipment was off stage, they removed the backdrop that was behind Prince’s set, and you could see that the stage was actually HUGE and that Prince had only been setup right up at the front. There was a giant curtain hanging behind all of that. After several more moments of getting everything set up, the lights dimmed again, the music started, the curtain opened up, and there you could see that this stage was about a mile wide and a mile deep! This was Rick James’s stage! Rick came out, and The King of Punk Funk reminded you of what you came here for! His show was awesome, but I’ll save it for another thread. But it was interesting to note that many people in the audience started moving out, because at least initially, Rick was no comparison to what we had all just seen out there! Don’t get me wrong, Rick tore the roof off that sucker, but it was hard to stop thinking about what we had just seen Prince do out there. Rick’s show was about 2 hours long, and the Stoned City Band succeeded in funking us to death! The show was actually exhausting! I remember thinking “How in the Hell can they do this every night, and from town to town?” Ahh, the memories!  this is fab! thx 4 sharing ur memories! prince certainly was a handful back then - excuse the pun! if i had been there i wouldn't have know where 2 look | |

I saw the video to Cream in late 91. B4 then I knew of him and liked a few of his songs like Batdance and Alphabet Street, but when Cream came on, there was a connection, an like everyone else I had to have every note he had commited to wax. Something in that video, just said "Boy u r hooked on Prince". This music was sexy and funky and you could dance to it, but underneath was the most talented musician alive today.I have been hooked on him for over half of my life. 17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince | |

It was late '82, possibly early '83. I had just started college in Leicester, UK doing a Performing Arts degree, majoring in dance. My two best friends and I had just finished the weekly shop. It was a miserable, cold, wet Saturday morning, but as we walked to the bus stop carrying our shopping bags we realised that the film, Purple Rain had opened the night before at the cinema. So instead of catching the bus we bought tickets for the matinee show and in we went, shopping and all.
That was it,  my pivotal moment, the moment that set the course for the rest of my life so far. I am now in this order: a mother, a Prince fan, a wife and a dance teacher.
Last year I took my daughter, who's 10, to see one of the (many) shows I attended at the 02. She's now a Prince fan too! Maybe in 25 years time, if the org is still going she'll be recalling that concert as her pivotal moment. I can only hope There is a crack, a crack in everything - that's how the light gets in. | |

Well, I was into Michael Jackson's music, and Prince started hangin around my house, wanting advice on girls and stuff. He was really shy back in the day. He asked if I had heard his new album 1999. I said no, that I thought I heard him play once, but I really didn't like that falsetto thing he was doing. He said that he remembered that I did not like the falsetto thing and that 1999 had almost no falsetto in it. I said really? He said yeh, you need to listen to it. I said that I really didn't have the time. Well Prince just broke up with this chick named sharon, and he was HEART broken. He came over the house, it was on a tuesday, and I remember he was thinkin about buying a motorcycle. He said that Sharon had left him for some dood on a bike. I listened, but then I had to go to work at the shoe store, and he asked if I had listened to his 1999, I said no. Well he was really down and out, and he let me borrow his copy, and at first I did not like it, and I thought that the title song was kind of creepy. He kept on bothering me about how good his stuff was and asking about this and that song... and so I kept saying yeh or no, in reality I had not listened to the entire album. I heard one song on there that struck a chord with me though. It was the song 'Free', and oddly enough it was falsetto, and I thought it was the best falsetto that he had done up to that point. I told him I really liked the words and music to that song. He said thankyou, and that my opinion meant a lot to him. This inspired me to listen to the complete album, and I thought, hey, I he may have something here. I called up Warner pictures and they owed me a favor, and I told them that Prince was very nice on camera and they would need to make a film. They said that they did indeed owe me a lot, and that they would get on the picture at once. Then one day on the set, I went to the dressing room where Prince was about to do the scene where he gets all pissed in the club and hits Wendy in the face, (deleted scene btw) and he did not have to door locked, so I went in and there he was having sex with Brown Mark. It was nasty. I said dood, and ran out as fast as I could. Now everybody knew in those days that Brown Mark had the hots for Prince, but everyone also knew that Prince was hetero.... well at least we thought so. Moments later Prince came running out, literally moments, and I was like... man you didn't even take the time to wash the stank off your dank. Nasty! He started sobbing about Sharon again, and some how we had signed part of the deal that he would get a motorcycle in the movie and get to keep it, and he did, and he was shattered cause he had rode it by Sharon's house doing wheelies and stuff and she called the cops and had them tell Prince to stop riding up and down her road. Didn't work like he had wanted. And that was the end of our friendship, and the whole fudge packing thing with him and Brown led to the break up of the revolution. That's another story. We are all so full of  here | |

My story...well...completely by chance actually.
I was subscribed to "Britannia Music Club" (original BRIT AWARD sponsors and organiser)...they send you out a CD every month unless you tell them not to. One month a bump on the doormat...looked, then a sigh, and a thought of why have they sent me a cancelled CD that I never ordered!! Anyway the CD was Lovesexy and had this odd looking naked bloke on the front!
Played it anyway...from the first track I was hooked...a real life changing moment. A very fresh deep sounding CD.
Even more bizarre was the one single track only on the CD...Originally I thought it was a manufacturing fault. 
Ohhhh...By the way...did you know...the ORIGINAL CDs are fully tracked through an index system on the CD and can be forwarded like any other on the old Marantz CD50 player which had the index search on remote control...Yep I owned one at the time!! also...the first CD by Enigma: MCMXC A.D. was exactly the same...didn't know that did you
The rest is history...so thank you Britannia Music Club....you changed my life for the better!!

Yep, McEnroe was unreal, IMO the most exciting tennis player, or at least the most exciting I have ever seen, also that yr were the olympics in LA, Daley Thompson winning the decathlon for the second time and of course Mary Lou Retton from the american gymnastic´s team, and naturally the highlight of it all, Carl Lewis X 4 times gold. It was also the summer where at my uncles summer house, we went playing golf on a Drogheda beach, and i stood alittle to close to my cousin and got a belt of a golf club as he took a swing, maybe that is what resulted in my becoming a prince fan If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

Brown was tryin 2 get close.... CLOSE to everyone, so there was no challenge for anyone there. He really struggled when he fell out of the closet, cause that was what it was. We all would have nailed him for heterosexual until that fateful day when the power went out at the ski lodge.... the memory still gives me the chills. So I would say that it would be the Free track. NOW, Prince and I resolved some issues and resumed a friendship after the court case was over, and that would be the one where I sued him for putting a tape recorder in my car and using the recording for the background of the song lady cab driver. He was just wrong for that, but he was still angry at me for going out with Sharon shortly after they broke up... EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T A DATE! We were only friends working out in the gym for goodness sakes. Anyway a lot goes on between then and day Prince told me he was sorry and meant it... which by the way is big deal with him now. As he became famous, he got wierd as shit. Like he was always right... no matter what?!? Full of bullshit was what he was... is... was. So when he appologized, I said "Well the world is coming to an end cause that is definately a sign of the times!" and you guessed it, out popped an album. If I had a dollar for every idea he stole from other people I would not still be in this damn shoe store today. We are all so full of here | |

sataninas said: That was Destiny.
haha... on a serious note, I kinda feel that way myself. The first few times I saw Prince in any way/shape/form, was by randomly going through the channels or he just happened 2b on something I was watching [American Idol, SuperBowl XLI]... he just kept coming back to my attention at the same time he happened 2b promoting his new album, 3121. I'm still trying to figure out if it was fate or destiny that I eventually ended up here and thinking the way I do of Prince (with the utmost respect for him). One thing's for sure, since I started coming here and listening to the music, I haven't been the same person I was a year ago. But maybe that's a good thing. had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

sataninas said: That was Destiny.
Cool you say that, as I have for about 23 yrs wondered if it was destiny, when I got into Prince music in the summer of 84, I knew absolutely nothing about him, his background or back catalogue of music, apart from 1999, which i had heard in 83, but did not connect that it was Prince untill Jan 85. The more I got to know about him, the more it seemed like some sort of weird coincidence that he was my favourite artist. I have often thought about writing about it here, but I reckon if I did, there would be people in white coats knocking on the door
To put it short, there were alot of uncanny parellels. Oh, there goes the doorbell  If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

At the age of 11...me and a girlfriend squeezed through the open backdoor of Paradiso in Amsterdam, NL. I saw a tiny person with little close on performing a song called "Head". After only 2 mins we were dragged outside by security but the 'damage was done' - I have been a fan ever since! I love Prince and chocolate - in that order | |

Brown Mark was gay . I thought Prince abused him, put him down and controlled him, and when Brown Mark wanted to quit, Prince would tell him not to and promise him he would be rich soon. May be thats why Prince was like that to him, as Prince could easily be homophobic and have his own way of keeping the fag down.
I knew there had to be explanation for all that camp ass stuff he wore 17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince | |

hollywooddove said: So was it the 1999 album? the track Free? your sudden appreciation of Prince singing falsetto? or you only ever pretended to like Prince and his music just to get closer to Brownmark??
Brown was tryin 2 get close.... CLOSE to everyone, so there was no challenge for anyone there. He really struggled when he fell out of the closet, cause that was what it was. We all would have nailed him for heterosexual until that fateful day when the power went out at the ski lodge.... the memory still gives me the chills. So I would say that it would be the Free track. NOW, Prince and I resolved some issues and resumed a friendship after the court case was over, and that would be the one where I sued him for putting a tape recorder in my car and using the recording for the background of the song lady cab driver. He was just wrong for that, but he was still angry at me for going out with Sharon shortly after they broke up... EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T A DATE! We were only friends working out in the gym for goodness sakes. Anyway a lot goes on between then and day Prince told me he was sorry and meant it... which by the way is big deal with him now. As he became famous, he got wierd as shit. Like he was always right... no matter what?!? Full of bullshit was what he was... is... was. So when he appologized, I said "Well the world is coming to an end cause that is definately a sign of the times!" and you guessed it, out popped an album. If I had a dollar for every idea he stole from other people I would not still be in this damn shoe store today.[/quote] Oh my God! I've heard about the Ski Lodge Incident, except they said he 'fell' out of a walk in wardrobe with a mirrored front. "A torrid experience of screams, ski's, and really bad relaxed hair!!!" They said that it was the matching Cinchilla fur hat, gloves, scarf, boots and muff that really gave it away! Ahhhhh Shame! But, whatever to him, and HELLO!!!! to miss lady cab driver story? The tape was recording when? while you were driving? or that it's actually you that's doing the pumping(and Prince copied all your sex talk and dubbed his voice over yours for the final cut!), or, your the one getting pumped, and that's why it had to go to court, cause you knew if this was to ever get out, Brown Mark would be coming straight for yo ass? And if it wasn't bad enough the first time, this time he got some 'Coming to America 'Soul Glow' curley perm' on his head. Damn! Life's a Parade! LoveLife, LoveSexy! | |
