The beauty of these videos is that you find out that PRINCE had a lot of creative “help” in his early days. This shit should be a movie man Love the origin story
Prince: "I was taken out to Los Angeles by my first manager, whose name escapes me"... I can't help but feel that was a personal dig against Owen Husney. Ain't no way he didn't remember his first manager's name!
It was. If he didn't like you or crossed him in a way that wasn't redeemable, you and your name didn't exist. He was hella salty toward husney until he passed - there's blank spots where husney's pictures were in "The Beautiful Ones" book.
Well, according to Possessed book, Owen told him to "go get his own God damn space heaters" and then said "I quit" to Prince. you just don't tell nobody no shit like THAT and he sure didn't tell that part of it on Prince unauthorized documentary VHS from 92'.
Ok, I am shallow the pics of Andre and Prince 😍😉💜 WOW!!!! Prince had sides to him and he was not so nice it seems. I guess being driven and having goals meant you had to be strong willed and purposeful no matter. He seemed to go through people. Andre is just amazing. There is nothing like people who knew you when. Thank you for this because the way you presented was not taking sides or judgmental or condescending. I cannot wait for the Vanity edit !!
Human will can be astonishing. The will to not just teach yourself 27+ instruments, teach others to play their own instruments, write your own music and lyrics for over 550+ published songs, but what is truly astonishing is the vision to plan your future in this way.
"Let's Work" was a bassline that Andre came up with during one of their jam sessions. Prince had recorded it & decided to learn & use it. That song was the first truly funky thing he did after "Soft & Wet". It helped carry Controversy. I wonder sometimes how the band would have sounded had Andre replaced say Wendy or Lisa. Or Mark. Or even Dez. He was also multi instrumental & wrote alot so he would have been major regardless of position. I think because he was considered Prince's big brother or homie for a time, he couldn't really bow to Prince & become subordinate like that. He had to have his own drive for his own thing. Prince probably saw it before even he did. I think he considered Andre an equal. Out of everybody.
Prince said in that 85 RS that his “old bassist” had to be in the spotlight and couldn’t handle not being the alpha. Then he threw an assist to BrownMark calling him the only bassist he could ever play with (paraphrasing)
Thanks for all of the interesting content. No one is all good or all bad. I doubt if being in control of so many people make you very nice all the time. I know, I sound like I'm taking up for Prince but he was just human like all of us. No man is perfect, but what I learned from this about him more than anything else is the hard work he put into his work, that's why we are still reading about him to this day. He worked for his success and it paid off in a way that will never be forgotten and he will be remembered as one of the best entertainer of our generation. He was one of the fortunate ones in life, who knew what he wanted and didn't want to settle. Not an easy task.
Surviving in the 80’s was our theme song before every basketball game on trying to make it to the Ohio state final four championship. Ironically I named my son Andre years later. Great memories!
I LOVE these guys! But...Sonny T? Rhonda? Ida? Gold Nigga?, Exodus? Chocolate Invasion? Slaughterhouse? I'd agree his sound morphed out of the 80's though.
Thank you for all of these videos, as much as I enjoy some interesting things and interviews on podcasts, I definitely love and enjoy having an actual video to watch even if it’s just related photos etc, thank you so much!
@Sinnik22 Bravo! Outstanding. So many more details compared to the first version. As I remarked earlier this could be a Netflix Mini-Series. Love this channel, thanks for all the work you put into it. Question. The video at the end that Prince did and Andre was offended by was that an MTV Europe or something? Never saw it before watching your version one of this episode, his monologue proves to me that the "Morris Day" character of the Time was really his alter ego (one of them). He and Bowie really had lots in common!
WAIT A MINUTE!!! HOLD UP!!! If you pause this at 37:44 the bass that Andre is playing in the Why You Want to Treat Me So Bad video is shaped like the Cloud Guitar from Purple Rain or am I seeing things!!! Anybody else see this!!😲😲😲
If Andre would have gone the Prince route he would have been huge. I think he really wanted to be different and take a chance that could have paid off however the management wanted another Prince.
So now most of the associated artists, and musicians who played with Prince, and behind him will forever live in his shadow. He was so self absorbed: and when he died a big chunk of the musical landscape was left with a big, gaping, Prince shaped hole in it. Especially in Minneapolis.
That was very wrong of Prince to 1) Diminish his role on stage. Prince's managers were constantly ( along with Prince) to get Dre to pull back on stage. Why? Dre was taller,. Just as good-looking. Dre stage presence and energy got a lot of attention Getting more attention from the ladies. It got so bad, that they started darkening the side of the stage where Dre was standing. The fact that Prince didn't look out for him financially was wrong. Very wrong. When you listen to Dirty Mind, you can hear Dre all over that project..
They had a strain relationship because Prince's star was rising. They were both young and I am not surprised of a little jealousy . Prince never forgot the kindness and love he was shown from Ms. Bernadette (Andre's mother). I wish Andre would make it known how Prince cared for his Mother once he became successful. He never forgot about her love and kindness when he needed it most.
@@Lyleswl He always looked out for her and that’s the main thing. I’m sure there was a little jealousy with Prince’s success by Andre. They were extremely young so it wouldn’t be a surprise. If you don’t think there was jealousy there you are being naïve. It’s always easy to point a finger at the one who was more successful but I’m sure they both had a hand in the demise of their friendship.
Never stand in someone’s shadow unless you are willing to bear the cold. It’s not called a music business for nothing. Even Prince had to find out the hard way with his deal with Warner Bros.
I think out of all of them in his early days Andre was his true friend and brother. Others claim him now as their brother but it was always Andre. I hate that their relationship got strained when Prince's star was rising. It's good to know Prince never forgot about his love for Ms. Bernadette regardless of his strain relationship with Andre.
Andre had gifts all of his own and when its said and done that music will get the credit and attention it deserves.And his best stuff musically is to come.His last two Lps... do yourself a big favor and check em out👍✌
Prince was complex and lots of his relationships seem strained with especially with his friends and band members. Overall it's hard to have a relationship with artist who is a pure genius.
IT WAS ABOUT BUSINESS IT WAS ABOUT A PRINCE DREAM A PRINCE VISION IF HE WAS A JERK SO BE IT 🤔🎶💜WHY SHOULD HE LET GO OF THAT AT THE END HE WAS STILL A ONE MAN SHOW 💜 FURTHER PRINCE WAS A CARING PERSON OUTSIDE OF HIS BUSINESS NOBODY ALIVE IS PERFECT 🤔
So Tommy Vicari basically didn't do anything on the very 1st Prince album and just flat out collected a free check. I can see why it took so long to record it now & how it was pain staking for him cuz they threw him to the wolves right off the bat just starting out. It's extremely DIFFICULT to find your way under those conditions and Tommy Vicari was setting Prince up for failure by just collecting a check and not doing shit.
Andre and Prince both said that they routed Vicari out and made him abandon efforts to tell Prince what to do in the studio. Likely a good thing. Prince’s mistakes were probably more instructive to his growth than Vicari’s guidance.
@@ROCKNROLLFAN that was an agreement Prince did with the WB. They initially wanted him to work with Maurice white from EWF. Prince said no because he said their sound will be over in a year or two. Prince attacked his 1st album like a musician.
Nah prince had to have done that on purpose a lot of people have said the same thing about Prince not giving them rights. Andre was basically his brother and he somehow “forgot” I love prince and he’s my favorite but he was really an asshole to the people around him a lot.
@@Sinnik22 at some point when you get into more into the year 85, I think you should include the original version of old friends 4 sale. how Prince was singing about what was going on around him at that time
"DON'T MAKE ME BLACK" **** THIS STATEMENT IS NO FAULT OF PRINCE BUT TO REACH SUPER STARDOM THE GIFT THAT CHRIST/ GOD GAVE HIM HAD TO BE COMPROMISED WITH THE FILTH AND HATE OF RACISM BUT WE UNDERSTAND VERY WELL ❤️🩹 WHAT YOU HAD TO DO PRINCE, U BRIDGED 🌉 THE GAP OF BLACK AND WHITE HOWEVER SHAME TO THOSE WHO DREW THE VIVID LINE OF DEATH IN SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL ❤️ THE SERINE SOUND OF MUSIC.
@Tony No, all of the band stated that. Let’ work, Dirty ind, Controversy and others were Andres ideas .. Just like Party Up and some other Times rehearsal grooves would show up on Prince’s records...
@@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION Yes, because Prince wasn't really talented, he didn;t have a clue (sarcasm). Without them he wouldn't be an Icon and Legend. Oh and they taught him how to play piano, guitar, bass and drums. Oh yea, they gave him his 5 octave singing voice as well. It's surprising that he managed to have a 40 year career without them. (sarcasm).
@@chica4530 Talented yes, but that does not diminish the fact that the. guy did'nt give credit , where credit was due..! It's been documented over and over bt coutless members of his bandmates..
@@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION You mentioned Party Up, well that was the song that Morris used to get his recording contract with Prince, so that's not even up for discussion. Prince gave credit for songs to people who didn't even contribute to them. Have you ever been in a jam session, everyone contributes and no one even knows who came up with what. They have all said they may have contributed to a bassline etc but Prince took it to another level. Interesting that none of these bandmates have ever done anything worth mentioning since Prince. Let's get real we wouldn't even be having this discussion if Prince was alive. Everyone knows Prince wasn't just talented he was a musical genius and even his former bandmates have confirmed that as well. I was going to say stop trying to diminish his legacy but his legacy is etched in stone and history so it doesn't even matter. Easy to make claims when the man is dead.
UGH. Prince was a true pain in the azz---ESPECIALLY in his 20's. Until Prince's death, Andre continued to semi-protect Prince; by downplaying Prince's shady thievery. People are messy and immature, in their 20's. So, imagine giving a narcissist ridiculous superstardom. Trying to "force" Gayle Chapman to kiss him, via "spontaneously" pressuring her during performances (so she can't refuse and look "difficult")? That was so damn egregious. Prince was musically great, but also immature, and spiteful. Particularly, in his 20's and early 30's. Age, Larry Graham and the Jehovah's Witness conversion tempered him. But....he still had some of "Prince" in him. As an Educator ( and pre-1980 Gen-Xer ), I always do DEEEEP dives on any subject, or person. I research the hell out of a subject for days, weeks...years. My deep dive of Prince began in the late 1990's (1996). So, if I were on a jury....I'd give much credence to Mayte, Andre and others who were THERE. IN HIS INNER-CIRCLE. BEFORE Prince's stardom. OR, carried Prince's child, etc. NOT an obsessed fan who purifies Prince....and attacks anyone who DARES call him human🙄 Even in this comment section, "Prince apologists" are behaving like his default PR person.😑
I loved this! Thank you very much for your work, it was very informative. Please could one day make a video about Michael and Prince in the 70s? For example the story of Toya going skating, And I read that Prince went to a Jackson concert in 1974, is that true? 🤔 Andre also said that they wanted to beat the Jackson 5 (Old interview). I think this would help to understand their relationship in the 80s..
@@harriettholmes539 Lenny never said that, he only mentioned about going to the studio him and Prince to mess with Michael (90s) The basketball thing was said by Michael Bland and Dr Fink and the backstage was said by Cat
@@harriettholmes539 I've never heard of it, but do you have a link? And by the way, do you know what the Jermaine Jackson interview is? I would like to see it 🙏 Thanks
Andre Cymone is a legend..he’s serious voice on the bass..only people in the know get this about him
True!

Indeed. Hes as much a part of the sound as Prince. He like Prince just chose his own path, his way.
Never get tired of these stories
Me neither. Love these stories.

I've thought this for years. Prince and Andre look like brothers. Glad I'm not the only one seeing this. 😉💜
Amazing that Andre and Prince never came close to blows, like Prince and Morris.
Andre cymone mother wasn't playing that shit prince loved that woman like his second mother
@@kingsports1113 True that. Indirectly, you could say without Bernadette Anderson, there would be no Prince.
Oh WOW...Nat Morris interviewing Andre on The Scene!!!🥰 that's another moment in the history I actually remember watching when it aired💜💜💜💜

As an Educator ( and pre-1980 Gen-Xer ), I always do DEEEEP dives on any subject, or person. I research the hell out of a subject for days, weeks...years. My deep dive of Prince began in the late 1990's (1996). So, if I were on a jury....I'd give much credence to Mayte, Andre and others who were THERE. IN HIS INNER-CIRCLE. BEFORE Prince's stardom. OR, carried Prince's child, etc. NOT an obsessed fan who purifies Prince....and attacks anyone who DARES call him human🙄 Even in this comment section, "Prince apologists" are behaving like his default PR person.😑
There's some BS in Chaka's story
Which part?
She recorded that song years after he made it. She came out with her version during the Purple rain era. That song was originally on the Prince Album.
@@Sinnik22 how does he have her number to call her to the studio?
I loved this! Thank you very much for your work, it was very informative. Please could one day make a video about Michael and Prince in the 70s? For example the story of Toya going skating, And I read that Prince went to a Jackson concert in 1974, is that true? 🤔 Andre also said that they wanted to beat the Jackson 5 (Old interview). I think this would help to understand their relationship in the 80s..
@@harriettholmes539 Lenny never said that, he only mentioned about going to the studio him and Prince to mess with Michael (90s) The basketball thing was said by Michael Bland and Dr Fink and the backstage was said by Cat
@@camilleforever9214
It was said by Lenny Kravitz in an interview on RUclips years ago.
@@harriettholmes539 I've never heard of it, but do you have a link?
And by the way, do you know what the Jermaine Jackson interview is? I would like to see it 🙏
Thanks
Lenny also was interviewed sharing a story of him and Prince hanging out in the studio with Michael Jackson.
