Brilliant footage.

Weird Al is a crackup

Nice find!

The girl at the end: "I Love Prince.......Prince is #1."

Thanks for that.

Easy to see how the cat could become a recluse!

Thanks Bart...

Your posts are always golden and informative...

Is that Chris Rock screaming next to her?

Interesting to hear Morris' reluctance to discuss the Time's touring and recording plans. Obviously he already knew it was over but you can't kill the marketing hype!

St. Paul has tweeted it, but I found it via ?uestlove.

It's been online for six months and yet nobody seems to have mentioned it here. Odd.

Thanks for the video. Apollonia was HOT!

1. Thx, never saw that before.

2. Appolonia's Dad really creeped me out! - Looked he was about to "do something" with her right on camera! She had to yell.."it's my Dad!" Weird!

3. What was up with Sheila in the 80's?? She came off as a total "B," and was trying to hard to act like Prince when she finallly broke out. I found that unattractive and annoying. She was a successful session player and touring musician before she became Sheila E. I'm glad she grew out of that!

4. That was some funny shit at the end

5. I MISS THE 80's!!!

That was very strange say the least.

Uhhh anyone notice how Sheila E, walked by and no one acknowledged her? And it seems like she was looking for a camera! #Sad Underrated then and now

Apollonia sure was fine!

Was that Sheila's date?

LMAO @ the dude off camera yelling "Prince I love you Prince" as he walks by

Damn thanks for this...loved it!!!

lol at Prince and the guy screaming Prince! Prince! I love you!

looks like a blast but the look on Prince's face was funny.

it was like "yall don't phase me, I'm the best mayne look"

Naw, nothing creepy about it. It looked like he was so so proud of his little girl and very very nervous.

Wow thanks for sharing! that was awesome. Even though this took place over 20 years ago, i still felt a magnificant presence watchiing Prince walk in at the end. As for Appolonia's father, I think he was overwhelmed. Like he can't believe his daughter made it this big and here he is with her on the red carpet. And correct me if I'm wrong I don't think many knew about Sheila E until Glamorous Life came out which was after the release of Purple Rain no? so I would not expect many to know her at the time this video was filmed.

It was good to see the actor that played Prince's father too. Alot of people credit Morris Day for carrying the movie but I felt Clarence Williams was amazing and gave the movie that dramatic edge that helped make it a success too.
