What year is this? Looks like around 1981.

I think it might be 81. I know Andre said they both got Jerri Curls and Prince did not like his and he had it cut out and that is how he got that short fizzy hair look which it what it looks like in this pic.

Um, I'm puzzled with this picture. I thought Kim was Prince's girlfriend(which I just learned about), why is she leaning on Andre? I never knew Kim by name but I do remember her as the waitress in PR. I just thought she was an extra. I never knew she had any connection to Prince.

She was his girlfriend from high school. She also passed away in late 2015. I can only imagine what these two got up to when they were young.

She I heard that she passed from an aneurysm and that P paid for her funeral arrangements. So sad for her and the family and great thing he did.
