he was so good at so many things. His guitar playing alone...Eric Clapton said he was the best guitarist in the world. I don't know if I agree with that, but he's definitely in the conversation.

Very few things get a 10/10 in my book, but Prince is a solid 9. Outstanding musician, songwriter, performer & basketball player.

You left out pancake chef.

 

^ Hahaha

Micki Free has confirmed Charlie Murphy's Prince story was 100% accurate, right down to the pancakes. He also offered this bonus story:

There was one time where I was coming into this club, and I had my suits made from the same people that made his suits. And I had my boots made from the same guy that made Prince’s boots. So I was coming into the club with my then wife, Teri Copley, an actress from the ‘80s who had her own TV show. Prince was leaving the club, and he walked up to me— I thought I was looking sharp! And he looks straight at me and says, “Hmmm… You only missing one thing.” And Prince took out a pair of red panties from his suit, which I still have to this day, and put them into my pocket! He pat them and said, “Now, you are looking good.” And he strutted on out. Crazy times.

 

I thought I recalled hearing that the pancake thing happened numerous times.

He liked to have the whole neighborhood come through for pancakes.
 

His solo at 3:28 is just unreal. I guess Oprah has this guitar now, by the way. 10/10.

Edit: barrelsAndRivets AND G-Type beat me to it, haha. Still worth re-re-posting!

haha we need to reach each others' posts   You're the second one to post that link, and I mentioned it early on. Great performance for sure
 

Tallying up the votes tomorrow night

In real life , Im an Nes collector but im also hard as nails.




Prince will forever be one of my favorites no matter what. 10/10

Solid 8 for me. The whole Purple Rain soundtrack is a banger.

I'd say 9... 9.5 if I could vote that...

not the greatest ever but damned good...
