Coffee Music Vibe on Instagram: "PRINCE – I Wanna Be Your Lover The Midnight Special, January 11, 1980 His first TV appearance. Purple lights, satin energy, and that unmistakable mix of funk, soul, and fire. Prince was just 21 — already producing, arranging, and playing almost every instrument himself.
