One of the best interviewers ever. Rest in peace.

OMG! Is he dead?!

Larry asks challenging questions, but never tries to cause Prince true discomfort or embarrassment. Agree that Prince seems much more at ease here than with some other interviewers. RIP Larry.

Hands down one of THE best Prince interviews I’ve ever seen. I always refer back to this one. It’s just so beautifully done.

A female caller from Houston asks a question starting @ 32:31 but has "audio issues" and appears to get cut off. She trolled them both!

CALLER: I've always known you to be a spiritual and God-loving person, and I've always respected that. And your music. I know that you've always thanked God on every one of your CDs, and that has inspired me all my life (I love God myself) -- [loud background audio noise starts] WAS THAT PART OF YOUR INSPIRATION FOR BECOMING A BITCH?

LARRY: I can't.. We lost the--What?--Oh - I'm sorry, we lost the call.

PRINCE: [knowingly & uncomforably smiles ] I can finish it for her.

LARRY: "What was your earliest inspiration?", she says.

PRINCE: [answers Larry's question]

Methinks the audio noise was a malfunction of the profanity delay/mute button, activated as soon as the producer/call screener realized they were being trolled. And I think Prince knew and Larry was legitimately clueless until told by a producer in his earpiece. Nice recovery though!

Lol. “Um, is that a word, Larry?” One of my favorite Prince moments.

My family ended up watching this whole thing on accident because it was so good. Larry did amazing and asked really good and deep questions. It felt like watching friends.

Two of the greatest at what they do.
