The music. How hard he worked. I loved that he stayed true to himself. His smile, eyes, style.

So many things

Whenever I think of Prince, I will always be taken back to that night at the Charlotte Coliseum, April 24, 1980, when I had the opportunity to witness greatness: watching him open for Rick James during the infamous "Fire It Up" tour, back when few people even knew who Prince was. From that moment onward, I went around telling anyone who would listen about this phenomenal musician who I knew would someday become a legend, even when there were so many others who felt quite the contrary about this rather strange dude who would strip right down to his underwear while masturbating microphones live on stage. I am forever grateful to have had that experience in my lifetime, to have caught Prince in the infancy of his long and storied career. That night will always be what I will remember most about Prince.

That's the era that I first discovered Prince also. My first exposure to him was the "American Bandstand" appearance and I was immediately attracted to his "in your face" boldness. He looked gay as hell and didn't hide it, but flaunted it. He didn't fit the typical image of a weak sissy either. He could outrock the hardest rocker and outfunk the hardest funker and do it while looking gay as hell just to piss them off even more. Hell, another favorite of mine, Rick, found that out firsthand and never got over it. I bet Heaven is threatening to throw him out right about now for all the cussing he probably did when Prince arrived up there.

First of all his live performances

I will remember is pure talent. To me, he was like Jimi Hendrix, my Elvis, my John Lennon were to others in their era. I personally think he was the most talented musician ever. If not for his talent then for his uniqueness.

All excellent points, Oh Mighty Vain One (good to see you back, btw), I concur with each and every one of them.

THAT and his music for sure!

His music and his sense of humor are the only things that helped me lately. Makes me feel less depressed about his passing

Since my mom died, I have refused to focus on the serious and hard moments and when I miss her so much it hurts, I start picturing her own form of shade she could throw at me and various family members. I picture her facial expressions and her way of saying things and just start cracking up. When I feel so bad that I never saw Prince live and never will, I just go find his shade moments on youtube or look at Prince memes that have funny captions that I can just hear him saying and do the same thing. Just start laughing. It really does help.

39+ albums, thousands of shows, philanthropic work, and you're going to remember that?

I will remember those things too but lately that part of him has helped me get through the hard days. That's not a issue is it? *side eye*

You just made me laugh! ok now we need to see a selfie pic of you doing your best Prince side-eye look!

It would be easier to answer what will I forget about Prince? Nothing.

His love of performing. It just gleamed off him when he was on stage. It made me feel so alive just watching him.

Yes. Prince's concerts were so magnificent. After going to see him 'Live', I would just walk around in a daze for a long time afterwards. Nothing and no one could compare to him.

Also, seeing him after shows to grab a chat. The whole experience- so loved up.

Prince was in Happy Feet? Which character was he?..I love that movie but had no idea Prince was in it!...sigh...now gotta watch Happy Feet on my next day off work!

It's hard to pick just 1 thing, but first and foremost is his Music.
