  • That's the song that made me fall in love with Prince. I just flipped when I first heard it. It was so unique.

  • SO GREAT

  • love me some prince. want to touch his hair full of bounce and looks so soft. about to roller set my hair again so it can come out like that.. sing it prince!!

  • prince is such a talented artist

  • one word....ICON!

  • That hair is to die for! Go Prince!

  • I love this song. when was this song recorded?

  • ALWAYS AMAZING! Prince is ICONIC!

  • Andre's pants!!!!!!! Prince is thebomb.com . All that hair.....Imma need those pants in my life. I may dress up like this for Halloween. 'I'm PRINCE! American Bandstand "I Wanna Be Your Lover" performance.

  • Yeah, Prince got the moves like Jagger for real in this clip. I just love this man. I've always been in awe of him. He is one of those artists that you can not take your eyes off until he leaves the stage, screen or whatever. I just love him!!!!

  • OOOO , and let us not forget the gold pirate hoop ... :0)

  • Yeah, little man is rockin that fab blow out and those heels!!!

  • Wow, Awesome, I had such a crush on Prince, I guess me and everybody else. He's just...just... awesome!

  • I don't remember Prince ever being on American Bandstand. This is so cool.

  • Ah, I see... didn't know. Well, I am also glad he has chosen to leave this for us to enjoy. I was one of those punk rock kids who happened to be raised by hippie parents who loved the Funk, and when I saw Prince the first time I was like "Fck yes!!! A visionary who is all about the soul but is doing something new and different, who doesn't feel that he has to put his art and his music and vision in this box of what was currently acceptable in R & B mainstream back then. All Hail The Prince.

  • @AnnaSmall1988

    I have seen Prince about 6 or 7 times in concert. Whenever he comes to town; I am there.

  • Why would he block it? He was freaking SEXY and a groundbreaker and brilliant and this was clear from the beginning... I <3 you Prince!

  • @AnnaSmall1988 Prince is one of those starts who does not like his copyrighted and legal published stuff duplicated on the internet. He is being very generous with some of his stuff not pulled, I am hoping he will 'unmute" the other video i just put on "why you wanna treat me so bad", so i do respect artist when they pull their stuff off of here, they have their reason and we gotta respect it. it is what it is.

  • brilliant blowout,shoes,fantastic!

  • PRINCE IS 4 FT 6 WITH OUT HIGH HEELS

  • Seriously, something about a man with better hair than I have is sexy as hell.

  • prince wasn´t playin´!

  • Hey he's got a Mick Jagger thing going on!

    

  • @Kearyjb agreed

    

  • Check out Dr. Fink on keys. Man he was with Prince even when he was a kid. #history

  • HERE IS TO FT SILL OKLA.. TEEN DANCES...OMG!......

  • He's so gorgeous ;)

  • THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Classic Prince

  • rock'n the hair prince totally love his hair like that

  • One of my fav Prince jams, just an incredible groove; however, I'm looking at him now and thinking, "he's got the moves like Jagger":) Who knew:)

    Much Love,

    Chris in indy

  • WORK!!!

  • 1st, This is my very favorite up tempo Prince joint of all time! (Do Me Baby) is my favorite slow joint by Prince. I hope this performance finally shows that Prince never was & never will be a match for Michael Jackson as a stage performer! Prince is definately a better musician than MJ, with the exception of a few chords on the piano & guitar,MJ could'nt play instruments! Both are great songwriters in their own right. This is how Prince performed until he saw Rick James & stole his act!

  • @69ulrika I agree! this one and Soft n Wet!

  • i miss band stand and soul train

  • and this is him live? holy shit....it sounds just like studio...why can't modern artists perform like this in real life

  • @whiteside2010 hate to tell you but no one really ever performed live on american bandstand they mostly all lipsank lol...search for real live performances of this song one here ..i would know i was around then ..

  • @ariesrisin26 Jerry Lee Lewis flatly REFUSED to lipsynch. Whatta guy, huh?

  • @whiteside2010 I remember seeing this on AB and yes ... he lip-synced this performance. I can still hear the fadeout of the song and the one-word answers to Dick Clark questions.

  • Saturday, January 26, 1980. One of the most famous, and important, moments in rock history!

  • Nostalgy

    I Knew That Prince is Genious

  • Who else could get away with wearing those Gold leggings?! Love Prince! : )

  • Classics never fade. I love his music now just as much as when it was brand new! I'm still simply in love with Prince.

  • whoa...those clothes....wow....I think they were like soul train with the lip syncing lol

  • Great & simply amazing, inspiring for years!!!

  • :Hard to believe that His Purpleness didn't block THIS 1!

  • @DaveWollenberg Yup so far so good, He has been very nice about it, I see I am not the only one that has his Videos, I guess he just not gotta bother about it, But it is American Bandstand (Dick Clark Productions) who "had" fully rights 1st over the video, but they were sold and the new owners seem to be cool about and cause This video was in dispute when I put it on, So I then 'asked for permission" and was granted full rights to let the video play throught without any voids.

  • @discolarry124 Well, thank you for posting it. And thank you to whom ever made it permissible. I just love him. You can tell he was just starting out then cause them moves, nah. That ain't Prince I know.

  • @discolarry124 thinking that just taking the time to ask is half the battle ;)

  • @DaveWollenberg maybe you did'nt notice be he opened it all up all music and video FYI ,

  • @Cosiomusiclove Good for his Purpleness. God bless ya, and, Merry Christmas!

  • @DaveWollenberg This is a live performance. This is not owned by the record label(who takes stuff down, not Prince himself). So The copywrite of this performance is different and they probably dont mind

  • @mrcheereo Actually, it definitely WAS lip-synched by Prince and the Revolution.

  • @DaveWollenberg yeah i don't think any one ever performed live on american bandstand. still it's s great mime so to speak, he is so uninhibited and having a great time on this, it's great to see. brings back memories.:)

  • @DaveWollenberg his Purpleness LMAO!

  • Be the only one you COME for.......

  • im hating on his hair ..all that body his hair have dam why i cant get that and im a woman no matter what i do cant compare to his hair..lovin me some prince

  • Ladies and Gentlemen, Pay attention to this one! This guy will be more important to Christ, or even Religion than Michael Jackson. Watch!

  • That is one sexy mothaFka. .

  • Brilliiant song writer 

  • i use to watch American Bandstand every Saturday.it was one of my favorite shows

  • classic

  • Prince The Legend!!! Best Song Of Him!!! Funky!!!

  • @Cranberry333  Yes that's him.

  • You betta DO IT Prince! YAAAAASSS!

  • can i just say, i LOVE PRINCE, but his hair is FABULOUS, I want that man's hair

  • one of the best lines ever in a song I wanna be the only one you come for!!

  • 6 PEOPLE ARE TRIPPIN!!!!!!!!! WTHELL?

  • can anyone name the band? recognize them but drawing blanks...

  • @ddjamo BASS: Andre Cymone, GUITAR: Dez Dickerson, KEYBOARDS: Matt Fink and Gayle Chapman, DRUMS: Bobby Z. and LEAD VOCALS AND GUITAR: Prince Rogers Nelson.

  • He was very much the David Bowie of RnB....such fabulous androgyny and effortless sex appeal.

  • this is princes best song. he did barry gordy soul., prince wanted to be micheal, he got close , this song is awesome. but it aint off the wall album-michael .

  • @845chris " WANTED TO BE MICHAEL" ??WTF?? that has to be a joke?? Prince was and is a MUSICIAN, who wrote like no other, plays like no other, dances like no other, performs like no other, acts, directs, choreographs, etc, MJ was a great performer, that's it! though he needed choreographers, (Prince didn't, & actually won awards as a choreographer) MJ was a pop star, Prince is EVERYTHING pop stars pretend to be & a whole lot more. oh, & Prince ain't a paedophile either! & who the F is Barry gordy

  • @frankgod123 WTF is wrong with you michael was a choreographer all how the fuck do you think he got that award for best performance he made all the stepps to the dance in beat it .bad ,thriller ,billie jean,Ghosts,YRMW,and Remember the time

  • @LittleDreForever You have no idea do you, you assume that all to be true because you like him, typical, an award for a performance is NOT an award for choreography, your average 5 yr old will confirm this, he won for his PERFORMANCE, not choreography, he employed loads of them, something a choreographer wouldn't need to do, the most famous being Jeffery Daniel who taught MJ to do the moonwalk, a move known as the 'backslide' for years before it was re-named, Daniels also choreographed some of..

  • @LittleDreForever ..MJ's video's including bad in whitch he features, Michael Peters choreographed 'thriller, and 'beat it', Travis Payne was choreographer on 'scream', Dangerous', & 'Ghosts' the last 2 had him 'grammy' nominated. Brothers, Richard, and Antony 'tone' Talauega, choreographed YRMW, PRINCE however NEVER employs a choreographer, he does that himself too, he was nominated for best choreographer in the 85 grammies for 'when doves cry', & won the following year for 'rasberry beret'.

  • @LittleDreForever just because you like Mj shouldn't make facts cease to exist, MJ was a truly amazing pop performer, one in a million, but that doesn't mean he was a great musician, he did write some great tunes but most others were written by (or with) other people, he was a great dancer but needed to be choreographed and taught like most dancers do, Prince was NEVER taught to sing, dance, play guitar, keyboard, bass, drums, sax, and over 20 other instruments! MJ couldn't play any!!

  • @LittleDreForever Prince arranges and produces everything he records, MJ has never produced though his mere presence has allowed a co production credit, Prince has writtern and directed films (whether you like them or not) MJ never did! MJ was an amazing pop star but pretending he was more than this is destroying the art he left behind, comparing him to Prince has ONLY ever been done because they are both black (MJ used to be) MJ legendary pop star, Prince musical genuis and legend, end of!

  • In all his hottness, i mean come on how many men can pull off an out fit like that?? Hot!!

  • I remember seeing this in Ayden NC, in the seventies. I'm bald with a pot belly, & this dude still looks the same! What did i do to go wrong, not LOL!

  • 0:55-:1:02 i thought i was the only one who dances like that LMAO

  • Love this song it takes me back when i was in elementary school watching this on saturday mornings.

  • i aint got no money : i aint like those other girls you hang around: and its kind of funny cause they always seem to let you down:and i get discouraged cause i never see you anymore:and i need your love babe aaay!: thats all im living for yahay:dont want to pressure you baby but all i ever wanted to dooooo:i wanna be your lover: i wanna be the only that makes you come running: i wanna your lover: i wanna turn you on turn you out:all night make you shout oh lovaah! LOVE IT!! lovely and sexy!

  • love this song so much!

  • FIERCE!

  • Prince I wanna be your lover. You are such a sexy man

  • Its not Prince .....its Warner who blocks him !

  • See? Even Prince lipsyncs once in a while.

  • @Turbo200X

    but that was almost like a requirement or something, it seemed, on shows like this and Soul Train, Solid Gold and others.

    I think James Brown was the only one who performed live.

  • WHAAAT??!! ouu Im tellin Prince!! sike ...lol but yall better hurry and enjoy this you know Prince dont play that YouTube shyt heheh

  • Cool! I remember this episode of AB!

  • true larry. but where's the SOUL TRAIN AT?

  • I find him disturbing but he is interesting

  • His hurr is so purtty!

  • only a classic song and man/yumm

  • jesu luv this classic of prince my  my my yum

  • O.o woah!!!

  • Prince always had great hair.

  • Damn. More than 30 years later, he still doesnt look like he aged a single bit.

  • @slxdragon its crazy huh? he looks exactly the same. :)

  • My favorite line is when he says no one can do the things that ill do to you mmmmm he can do those things to me anyday of the week! He has a voice like I never heard before. He is 50 and still going strong . I love this song its a classic and one of my favorite prince songs

  • I LOVE love prince , I am absolutely in love with this man and I have never met him . I get chills all over everytime I watch his videos. I understand how he feels about people using his stuff and not paying him, I was able to see some videos though. He is like the only man that can wear tight pants and still look sexy.I love the way his hair is styled here and the way it bounces when he dances.He is the best next thing next to michael.

  • VHS!!

  • i love Prince with no frills, just funk!

  • Wow, snuk this one by em huh?, i won't say any more, i dont want to ruin it for everyone.

  • dam he was so sexy, hair was prettier than any woman's!!

  • Bring back the 80's........

  • @KozmoLouie this was the 70s actually.

    but i concur.

  • @taffysaur Song released in Aug of 79 and reached #1 on R&B chart Dec of 79. Not sure what year the taping of this show was but i'm guessing its 1980. Regardless Prince soared to the spot light and gained much of his fame during the 80's. ( no disrespect to the 70's )

  • @KozmoLouie the internet tells me this was January 26, 1980 :)

  • @babylowen Thanks for the info. I see your in L.A. I promote the 80's music here.

  • @babylowen Thanks baby.....I appreciate the info.

  • LOVE ME SOME PRINCE; SEXY; STILL TO THIS DAY!!!!! LOVE YOU PRINCE

  • LOL

  • Simply the BEST ARTIST OF ALL TIME!!!!

  • Prince was mad at Dick Clark that he was surprised that they were from Minnesota. The reason they lip synced on American Bandstand was because only a few people had cable so if you wanted to see your favorite singers you have watch Saturday afternoon music shows like Bandstand.

  • .... that was sooo lame... (longtime prince fan= yes)

  • WOW finally I get to the video or at least see him performing this song is this video from a love performance? because he is doing real good and sounds just like in his video , perfect! This is a classic I love this song and I love the way he puts his energy into it I miss this music , prince come back and show the young cats how you really do it .I love him, here he looks so delicious and his hair is so beautiful and bouncy so sexy

  • yawn,,,lip synced.....

  • WE NEED MORE MUSIC LIKE THIS TODAY. Artists with raw fire, passion, and creativity that can move a crowd!!!

  • well,he still roks after all these yrs n its great when my 5,7 n10 yr old know all the words n sing it.....timeless...we all love u babe xxx

  • I miss American Bandstand, I was 9 when they went off the air.

  • YES! Leave this one up, Prince.

  • Sexy Prince! Can't believe he didn't block this from You Tube too! YEAH!!! Wow! He was hot back in the day as he still is now! Still sounds the same too!

    LOVE Prince's voice! The one and only PRINCE!!!!
