My God, reading / listening to so many acts of love & support he has given. Several artists revealing pep talks / advice / guidance he passed on to them on performance, the industry etc. Likewise the many gifts he gave to the needy from cash to equipment etc. Beautiful man. Fighting back my tears as I type this.

I love that Van Jones on CNN mentioned how Prince paid for solar panels and no one ever knew

he was offered 10 million dollars to do a bar mitzvah ..and said NO ..it wouldnt be right....this was on cnn

Prince might be the showy outside perfomer but he is a good person and he did not applaud or advertise his kind deeds, he just keeps that secret in the inner purity of his soul.

.

I just don't want/ can't talk in the past tense. But Prince we will carry on your goodness, look with your eyes and be the Purple Yoda's u wanted us to be. You taught us so well. We are ingrained with purple and we Will Walk that road, For You. The Rainbow Children will continue to spread love, to use your art to grow spiritually and share the blessings.

Jesse Jackson says he secretly gave money.

so much more that most will never know about. Community gardens. Help for food banks. Support for libraries, after school programs, music programs, orphans, Katrina victims, flood victims, aging musicians in poor health. The list goes on and on.

This man embodied love 4 one another. These kinds of gifts weren't about fanfare.

He was very alike to Michael Jackson in that matter.

Do you mean Al Sharpton? I don't remember seeing Jesse Jackson.

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for awhile, and am thrilled to have my account "go live." This seems like a delightful thread to dive into. Because I'm totally blown away by all the reports coming in giving more details about what seems to be just a mere fraction of the good deeds that Prince has been doing quietly behind the scenes, all these years. By golly, wow!

My idea about Prince the man was wholly different. Glad to see he was otherwise.

just read that if any staff / people within his circle that had a death in the family Prince would take care of the costs. Also Dr. Funkenberry said that he picked up the cost of his medical bills whihc rans into the 10's of thousands. Oh great When Doves Cry has just come on the radio...more tears...
