why would you go on a show knowing you're gonna be interviewed, when you don't like being interviewed?

Waited until he had already reached his crossover audience to come to the show and by that time Don wasn't even hosting anymore. | |

hehehe just like Michael became 'black' later on in life
I don't see how he felt abandoned by white people, especially not Europeans | |

soul train is about marketing your music. prince in 1979 didn't really known how to market his music across the board. he let his maangment talk him out of doing soul train because they play black music, even though he could have rectify the sistution about working with don on how to come across the soul train gang on the verbal side and perform two of his songs. | |

That's actually not accurate. Michael (solo) was on Soul Train several times, and would have performed there also during the 80s if his presence wouldn't have shut the studio down due to stampeding fanatics. Why do you think MJ never did American Bandstand or Midnight Special anymore either? He was too huge at that point for all of those types of programs, regardless of whether they were aimed for Black or Caucasian audiences. Plus, despite his choice of wives and the way his children look, Michael's been Black. You apparently never saw MJ's 80s interviews with Ebony-Jet Showcase, which you couldn't have paid Prince to be on back then, even during the time he was talking to interviewers in '85-86.
And yes, Prince all of a sudden starting touting "we Black folks" during unusual appearances on Black shows in the 90s when he believed The Man and his people weren't supporting his albums anymore. This is not new, and has been discussed here in the past. "You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup...Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee

Michael's status was just... OUT THERE. I could see Prince doing it more than Michael during that time but he didn't. | |

Prince rarely made any TV appearances in his hey days because he refused 2 b interviewed. Solid Gold was perfect 4 him. Because they didn't require an interview. But it added 2 his mystic. Plus Prince would have NEVER let Don interview him. Which is why he only appeared on as guest host Holly Robinson... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |
