Keeping his legacy alive

I have 3 grown "kids". We are all a pretty open minded family when it comes to music. They/ we appreciate a LOT of different styles. My kids have been hearing me talk about Prince and his music for a while now and at first they didn't quite "get it". Today, my hubby and I went to my son's house for supper along with my daughter and her boyfriend who was already there. Low and behold, we walk into their house and they were jamming to Prince!! Make a Mama proud biggrin I've opened to door to the Prince worm hole!

"Make Your Mama Happy"

Never say die, never say why (Oh yeah)

Make your mama happy
Make somebody proud
Never say die, never say why
Stand up, touch the clouds

Billy got a test in geometry
He didn't study night before
He wants a steady job and a salary
So I guess he gotta study more
That's why we're sayin'

Make your mama happy
Make somebody proud
Never say die, never say why
Stand up, touch the clouds

Annie went 2 college, got a Ph.D.
Drive a BMW
All the things Annie ever wanted 2 be
She was when she finished school
That's why we're sayin'

Make your mama happy
Make somebody proud
Never say die, never say why
Stand up, touch the clouds

(Yeah, yeah)
(Somebody proud)

People of 2morrow want a better way
It gets harder and harder every day
Don't let 'em fool ya, don't cha let 'em say
U're any less than they are
Baby, U're here 2 stay!

Oh yeah [x3]
Happy
Make your mama happy


So, drum roll, does the boyfriend like Prince music? If not, then he gotta go biggrin

I imagine that's how my Dad felt the day I asked him if I could listen to his Purple Rain vinyl for the first time biggrin I heard it once and that's all she wrote. I can't wait to pass his legacy along to mine whenever that day comes.

From now on, 4 U I shall be wild 💜
