Prince In His TV Debut chords
Start Jamming...
[B]
[Gb] All right.
We were going to do this in Minneapolis.
Where?
Yeah, I mean, this is not the kind of music
that comes from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
No.
Would you be kind enough, sir, please, to introduce me to your friends?
Let's start with the bass player here.
Andre Simone.
Andre.
The man who escaped behind keyboard.
Matt Fink.
Nice to see you.
Man on drums.
Bobby Z.
And the gentleman over here.
Des Dickerson.
And lastly on keyboards.
Dale Chapman.
Hello, Dale.
Nice to have you.
Let's sneak over here a second.
I said there's something about the effect that you made a couple of demonstrations in records when you were a teenager.
You're barely more than that now, are you?
Nineteen.
Nineteen.
Well, you got another year to go before you graduate.
How many years ago did you make these demos and then have offers on them?
And why would you turn it down?
Um, it wouldn't let me produce myself.
You were 15 at the time. Yeah.
Would they think you didn't know what you were doing?
Don't know.
Were you ever disappointed that you didn't let them do that to you?
No.
Did you produce?
Did somebody tell me you played every instrument on this album?
Is that correct?
Maybe.
No, that's it.
You're very shy, modest.
How many instruments do you play?
Um, thousands.
Moments will be with you.
Thousands?
No.
Literally, do you play all the instruments?
Um, a lot.
If that is the case, then, oh, I know, if you're out traveling, then you've got to have backup people.
Are these people the ones that travel with you?
What are your plans for travel?
Uh, we have a tour coming up in a few weeks.
We'll look forward to it.
We thank you all very much for joining us.
What's the name of the next song?
Why You Won't Treat Me So Bad.
All right.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Prince.
