Prince - the only man in the world who could wear thigh-high boots and STILL steal your woman.

[tracyhendley]

When you’re that talented you can wear whatever you want to.

Prince was a wild dude back in the early 80s!!! He didn’t give a shytt‼️🤣🤣

[AleisterDonny]

Prince was fearless to come out on stage with that outfit back in the 80s.

A once in 1000 year performer, Prince had the full package of tallent.

Who is here old enough to remember watching THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL on television? Great times!!

[VAZ]

This is the most flamboyant outfit I've ever seen Prince wear.

I don’t care what others say but Prince was such a handsome/pretty man.

[elainewalls]

I remember watching this. I was mesmerized by his talent. My mom walked by the TV and had an absolute fit over what he was wearing. 😂 I thought he looked cool.

I think this is Prince's first TV appearance. This aired on TV before his Bandstand appearance. Good clip today.

Why do I still have the feeling that audience wasn’t ready and still not ready enough for that moment!
He was truly the most amazing and talented person in the world!
Him and Michael took this world by storm!!! ❤💜

Why did this show ever have to end? Young people dont realize how great Midnight Special was .

It’s cool to have his full band there yet knowing he wrote, produced and played every instrument, every sound created on that single totally by himself.

[DavidAntunes-rmdq]

The #1 greatest musician/artist/entertainer to have ever lived!

[Frc_o]

My favorite Prince era, it’s just something about that 79’-83’ (pre- Purple Rain) era 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥

[venanciahopkins]

My favorite musician of all time, an absolute music genius and legend. He was only twenty one when this was filmed. What a talent, I was crying in 2016 when we lost this genius. The original Prince band with Prince, Dez Dickerson, Andre Cymone, Gayle Chapman, Dr. Fink and Bobby Z.

I'll say what I said in a thousand reaction videos that I watched and commented on, we who lived in the 70s and 80s were witnesses to an era of musical Legends and Giants that will never be duplicated ever again. Those artists from that era were the veritable Olympian gods of Pop, Soul and Rock, and that is not hyperbole!
