Right he had a slight speech issue as well like some kids do! That’s why I believe when he got older he never really talked in interviews

Bless him and God rest him. Little did he or we know he was going to be one of the greatest musical performers of our time.

Of anytime. Prince was a once in a lifetime performer.

Even just a kid, you can tell that's The one and only PRINCE. Wow! How cool! and Prince was so cute as a kid too.

Prince always had those beautiful caramel eyes 💜

Prince was articulated and fair since ever. A very intelligent child who turned out into a legend! I wonder what the reporter back then thinks about it. 💜

Well, everyone is a legend in their life and also for earth.

That is so cool. Right when i saw I knew it was him. Same shy smile and everything! RIP great one.

I miss Prince. He cared so much about music 🎶 💜

That's Prince for sure. You can tell not only physicality but especially his attitude and the way he talks which was so characteristic for him, is just the same. And the interviewer had no idea he witnessed the next Legend and the man who was undoubtedly The Greatest Musical Genius in the world.

Extraordinary man of extraordinary talents. Wish he were still with us.

Wow! Your Listening Ear is Deep. The way that other kid say "That's Skippy", you can tell he was Popular, and he seemed to be a Prankster. He Must Have Been Something Else On The School Bus and Lunch Room. At that Time, James Brown,The Partridge Family And Sly And The Family Stone. I'm sure some of you said, The Partridge Family? Yes. Let me Explain. That show was Hot back then. Even Black Kids like Me was deep into David Cassidy. As a Kid,I never thought of their Songs to be Corny. You have had to have Lived that Life to Understand. Kool And The Gang played a Major part around This Time Too

Omg he is too cutteeeee 😩🥺

He even has the same kind of facial expressions. LOL

That is him!!!! He still say "um" the same way in interviews!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

So cute♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Purple is my favorite color. I always think of him when I see it 💜💜💜💜

What a precious little boy his movements were obvious even then

Beautiful. Long live his legacy and music!!

I miss Prince and all the greats.

Lol Who is questioning Prince’s sexuality in 2022? I haven’t heard that mentioned since I was a little girl in 1985. Prince is a man and he gets much respect for being THE man. He did what other men could not. Women flocked to be with him.

Only 8 years later his first solo album.... The rest is historical! mmj

IT'S "SUPER 😎 C♡♡L" LoVely LQQK at a truly treasured find 😇 "SKIPPER" I've always remembered PRINCE family members calling him by his nickname "SKIPPER" during the early years that I was reading about him. Thanks for a real priceless experience.🙏🏽 I've been blessed with his music 🎶 since my first 8TRACK "FOR YOU" borrowed from my cousin who was a big music collector of the 70's and my 1st concert of PRINCE ROGERS NELSON was "CONTROVERSY" WORLD TOUR followed by 1999 WORLD TOUR of which I luckily got to see it twice PURPLE RAIN 🌂 before the storm of fair weather fans LOVESEXY 88 TOUR....many others. My last time seeing PRINCE IN CONCERT was at his second appearance at THE ESSENCE MUSIC FESTIVAL 🎶 🙏🏽

I've watched this about 50 times already and have tears streaming down my face every time.

He is just so iconic

This is adorable!

This is a Visual Feel Good Classic On Many Levels. To see him as Kid is Mind Blow. Quite,Shy And Not Arrogant at All. He Ended Up Being A True Adult Version Of himself. Look At How he Does His Mouth. Soulful. There is More Film. You'd be surprised who has Film of his Youth. Family Home Movies. Somebody got Them. Minds All Over The World are Blown Today. Nice to See Prince before Fame.

Unreal.... That is baby Prince. Looks just like my son

Just off that interview, you know he was going to bring something great to this world…

God Bless Prince.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I must have been about seven or eight at the time. I just love seeing prince in the 70s

Love it! Thanks so much for sharing it!

It was nice just to see my brother again. R.I.P.

Prince knew that hard work deserved the right pay!

Blueprint Of The Housequake! This is So Deep. He was little, but popular. He had a Small Crew around Him. What a Flashback. It keeps Your Mind off of Will Smith And The Slap....

INCREDIBLE

Run down 'air and git a sack o' taters ta fry up!! Prince is on the TV!!!!!! An, he's 10 year old!!!!!!!!! You hain't gonna wanna miss dis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I don't want to grow up, cause I'm a Toys R Us kid'.......I could already see that little 'smug' arrogance in Prince as a kid in 1970. He had to be about 11 then. Who would've ever guessed 'he' was a powerhouse in the makings?

Adorable Prince. This clip does not show the part where he is jumping up and down for the news reporter to be interviewed....so cute he wanted to speak in the mic too. it is on the original WCCO Mpls. story.

Haha! Soo cute!

Bro, i watched the video over and over again because his voice is so cute and his face is adorable. RIP

At least we get to see his heart long before fame. Cool💜💜💜

OMG 😱

"I don't know why it's cool, but it is." Seriously? You don't know why it's cool?

Miss him!!

Its more than cool it's cooler than the other side of the pillow. Thanks for sharing and bringing a smile to everyone who loves Prince 0(+>

And all that stuff'!.... Love him dearly ❤ 💙 Injoy In Heaven !😘

Why did the "news" station not ask Prince's Relatives if that was him??? I mean, the news has been referring to them since he passed, regarding his estate situation!!!why go to some "historian" when his blood relatives are right there in Minnesota!?The childhood friend is a more reliable source of information than that "particular" historian. Again though, his family is right there!

I saw this the day before going to Minneapolis to visit Paisley Park, also my hotel was directly across the street from the Television station that found the footage... meant to be!!!

That interviewer knew that this kid is special

A little man, who became a big star 🌠

Cute, he was really committed to all what he did.

Well we never know how life will turn out here was a legend

Little did anyone know, he would become one of the most iconic artists in history, but he donated a lot of money to educational causes. I wonder if he remembered that interview, the situation, and whether it influenced his charitable causes?

Deep Little Dude. To Look at Him, and to Now know,in Minneapolis,his Soul Power was Deep. Look at Those Kids he was around. At that Time,and Still, Minnesota is a White Culture State. And within that Cultural State is The Black Mississippi/Chicago Vibe along with other Variation Of Listening Pleasures. James Brown, Kool And The Gang,Sly Stone,Paul McCarthy And Wings, Delphonics, Mozart,Jimi Hendrix And More. Skipper is Soaking it All Up. His Face And Mouth is Always in Music Rhythm. He's Always Looking To The Right. Check out Prince As an Adult, always looking to the right. James Brown, Always looked to the Right. Why? Cause It's Over There. And what is Over There? A Groove,A Funk And a Rock...Fo' Sho'

It's cool because it's "Prince"

1m56s Why did it feel really awkward when the white reporter took his cellphone out of the black guys hands at the end? Why didnt he just wait for it to be handed back like a normal human being?

Just what I've always thought! How could they leave him there standing alone in a world so cold??? Hence... When Doves Cry.

I confirm it's Prince, aka Skipper. I know my man. 😎

What Gets Me,why did They have go to a Historian? Now you See How Life Works, " The Media" goes to someone who don't Know Prince. Just wrote a Book about him. But "They" go to Her. And what does she Say,"Oh My,I Think Thats Him. Then of Course,I'm wrong for Pointing it Out. Just go to his Old Neighborhood. Also Check out The Reporter,how he slowly takes the phone out of Prince's Childhood Buddies Hand,as if the brother was Bout to Run off with The Phone. Let's not be too shocked People. Ain't nothing but Prince as a kid footage out there. Dude was not born during Slavery. His Family got Home Movies. Prince at 5, Prince Eating Chicken. Prince playing Drums. And did Y'all noticed They just so happened to Release this During the month of his Exit? Don't believe the Hype Folks. No such thing as lost footage. It's FOUND, when "They" are Ready To Find it.

Probably was writing and playing instruments at that age.

This is cool....but i think i have seen this before....

Wonder if his parents are in this video....

Prince?

Looks like Drake

I will always be a fan of Prince no matter what answer someone gives me but was Prince gay or bi? I've been on earth 40 years exact and never asked or heard anyone speak about it.

He was certainly straight..he made Kim Basinger his sex slave, no joke. I've read a lot about Prince one of his biggest issue was he was extremely shy, couldn't handle not being in complete control. He had to have something to calm him down, which led to a long downward spiral.

Neither. Prince took notes from the popular acts that he admired as a youth and put his own spin on it to garner "extra" attention. He knew he was a great musician but at the time, there were "a Lot" of great musicians so he found a way to get more attention like Rick James did with his look, and James Brown too(for his time). Both of them got the same question because of their attention getting methods. Prince just took it to another level and it worked Awesomely!!! LOL. I knew what that man was doing from day one and I loved it!!! Awesome musician and something for us ladies to enjoy as well (and he did take his pick of various Women)Lmao!!!!Smart dude!!!

Prince was so cute as a child!
