Don’t say Idolator never gave you anything. By request from the comments section, here’s Prince in all his smoke-machine/lip-sync glory from the classic program Solid Gold.

At least Eric Foreman gave him a nice intro..
Too kind, sir.
That’s Rex Smith, IIRC.
Wow.
I’m fairly certain this is how I first witnessed Prince. I mean, this is probably late ‘82, early ‘83, right? So I’m 11…I don’t have MTV yet, Z100 in New York doesn’t exist, and I don’t think my parents had even purchased our first Betamax quite yet, so I can’t even tape Friday Night Videos (which also, I think, didn’t yet exist).
Sorry for the rambling reverie…I’m just saying, Solid Gold was even more formative to my youth than I think I’ve even acknowledged.
@Chris Molanphy: Ditto. No MTV for me and I was probably too young to stay up late enough to watch Friday Night Videos. I don’t remember the host guy (Eric Foreman! Ha!), though. Gimme some Dionne Warwick!
How about a Rex Smith compilation of him butchering popular songs of that era on the show?
@antistar2000: hahaha LOCK THREAD
