Legendary Black History Moment: On January 30, 1995, the American Music Awards had aired. Many had performed along with Prince (pictured here) but lets talk about this shady moment (one of his best). This group of ppl backed with Quincy Jones, Nona Gaye, and many others, were singing ‘We Are The World’ by Michael Jackson at this very moment. Prince refused. Nor did he show up to the rehearsal. He was so angered by the fact Michael was concerned about third world countries starving when theres “just as much hunger here at home”, he went home and wrote a B-side called ‘Hello’ about children in America starving. Now, thats not even the good part. Pictured here is when Quincy Jones put the mic to Prince’s mouth testing him to see if he’d sing along while Prince was just standing there idling and Prince offered back his Tootsie Pop. Pure savagery.
