Motherless Child

I really wish I could post it but sadly I can't. disbelief rolleyes

Even with Larry Graham...as much as I despise him and I sincerely do.

Words...will just never...ever...do Prince's performance of this song justice!

I've been following Prince's career for a mighty long time but this is the ONLY song he's done that literally has broken me down to my motherfucking knees! headbang

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

It was one of the only good things that happened during the Larry Graham 1998/1999 period.

Motherless Child : I don't like this song at all..... boxed

I believe this spanish tv special was ruined by LARRY F*CKING Graham... cry

Motherless Child - the song reminds me of Boney M. and their disco version from 1978

lol

I totally agree with Hatrina. Even though this was (in my eyes) an absolute low point in Prince's career - and especially his live performances - and even though Larry Graham truly makes me want to vomit generally, this performance is awe-inspiring.

No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected.

One of the best performance's of any artist, musical or otherwise, I've seen in my life. Prince was in another world and he took me with him on this trip.

IMO, Papi brung it all, right shere.

Pain & reflection, R & B, melt yo face Rock, comic relief (that booty jumping backward, arms out like superman "dance" - had me eek lol .

Prince poured himself out, more than the norm, IMO. clapping

Since I happen to KNOW...that nothing ever "dies" on the internet. I just need to make sure that it is documented somewhere, before I'm too old to remember...that...

November 22, 1999 in Madrid Spain

Was the last time that I can recall SEEING the Prince that I...remember, know and will always love...until the day that I am no more! heart

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.
