Prince just called the Today Show.

Did not hear it all but they spoke about 100 x' and o's. Also about preforming in the future.

Here it is. https://twitter.com/TODAY...7476249600

I love how surprised they are!

If I heard his voice on the phone when I picked it up...

Al Roker shed a single tear knowing that he could never get as close to Prince as this beautiful woman.

A phone call? I guess it's too much trouble to fly out there and actually perform a couple of songs to promote the album and single.

Easy to do, since that wasn't actually in the clip they put on twitter.

I couldn't get througn all of the dick slobbery. Was there actually anything announced other than the new single on iTunes?

Yes, I missed the part about performing in the future. He should have performed 2 weeks ago, though. Not just on the today show, but on as many shows as he can. Some day I would like to see what would happen if he put full, sustained effort into promoting a new album and associated singles.

He has never promoted albums../He is wayyyy past any make or break point for his career no matter what anyone on here thinks..Certain shit, he dont have to do ..period..Traditional promtions is one of them

The Tidal concert being in Brooklyn Oct. 20th right when Judith Hill's album is coming out makes me think the Today show appearance will be around then. Prince wants to promote others moreso than himself. So some promotion for HITNRUN n some promotion for Judith at the same time.

And he has done a great job evangelizing Tidal... Funny how others artists with stakes in the Co dont do the same

She was Lawrence O'Donnell's girlfriend. I posted the article here a while back but I don't know if she still is.

Maybe she's the one who left Prince alone on his birthday when he burned his pasta in the song June?

Either way if they are close friends and talk every day Lawrence better watch out....

What are you talking about? He has(up until recently)always promoted his albums. MTV Cherry Moon contest, TRL, VMA, Letterman, Leno, Grammy's, Oscars, Golden Globes, Bandstand, Soul Train, Solid Gold, Midnight Special, Billboard Music Awards, I heart radio, Fallon. Methinks you have selective memory my friend.

knee grow has done soul train once ..not selective memory at all.. one appearnace per album release is not selctiove nor is that standard prmotions..most artists do all those in a week when a cd dropsw,,you just listed everytihing he has done in a 40 year career

Yes of course I mentioned all of the promotion in his career. That was the whole point. You said P has NEVER promoted any of his albums. It doesn't matter if it's one appearance or 12, It's all still promotion.

ok, whatwever you say,,i'll go back to sleep if you think thats promotion instead of a randonm one off

This was a BRILLIANT move of to sneak on The Today show unexpectedly through Tamron!

They didn't know what hit them! They were so gaga over ......

LMFAO. Are you serious? U think that Prince (or any other artist) show up to these shows, award appearances, etc. out of the goodness of their hearts or something? They have something to promote. Jesus, the lengths fams go to to defend Prince's nonsence is laughable.
