Cool pics! Andre's dad is very handsome. I think Prince looks very much like his dad but we all perceive things differently.

The sax player was hired extra depending on how much cash they got for the gig.

Brand new boogie without the hero.

Prince's dad was handsome too! At this angle, I can now see Prince had his Father's nose! LOL

How nice and how handsome he was!! Do you think Prince looked more like his Mom or Dad?

I think that Prince looked more like his dad, he had the same smirk, same size, and apparently same talent.

Come on, his talent clearly dwarfed his dad's talent. Nobody comes close to Prince in terms of an artist with all round self sufficient ability. Are there better singers? Yes. Are there better songwriters? Yes. But in terms of doing it all (musician/performer/producer/songwriter/singer/visionary), no solo act is in consideration.

His mom, Mattie was very pretty too! She was a jazz singer, so there was lots of talent in that family for sure!

Of course! Prince took his music to a whole other level. lol

He could kick a lot of fully fledged bands all by himself as well.
