I could not have said it better. Love this book
Yesssss!!!
hello!!! can you tell me why Prince told Alicia that she had to put a dollar in the course jar?? i was not able to understand that part. Thanks
@@Born2neverdie Prince wasn’t a fan of using profanity
I want u to read me stories every night with that calming beautiful voice
Thank you for sharing your admiration about Prince . Huge fan of Prince not only his music but his persona and his style and his attitude like “love me or hate me attitude because he knows there is nothing like him. Among his music love I love Purple Rain and Traci’s tears and his unforgettable performance on stage was when he played @While guitar gently weeps with Tom Petty and company .that sick guitar playing is unmatched to this day and I love his shoes and his outfits .after he died I collected all magazines about him.
Wow! What a Honor to get your video, talking about your experience to personally meeting Prince! Yes, I agree, he was definitely a Genius, so Talented and Unique! Purple Rain is a Remarkable song, I guess he done it for his father! I've danced a lot Prince's songs, with my brothers and friends! I'm really Amazed to get this Video cause I really love your songs, your voice, and you're so Beautiful and Gorgeous, Talented, playing your piano! I still remember the first song that I used to hear for hours, You don't know my name. I still keep listening! My Compliments, Dear Alicia Keys, You're Absolutely Outstanding! 🙋🏼♀️💐❤️🙌🌟👑🇧🇷🇨🇭
Awesome Book: great read!✨💯
Alicia Keys, one of the very few artists that can do a Prince song justice! Thank you for the anniversary story.
True.
And also a few artist that Prince gave permission to do his song though 😂
@@jerryperry1788 True! P was not happy with others doing covers of his songs but giving permission shows he had faith in her.

This gave me the CHILLS. He's my absolute all time hero. So happy you got to work with him on that level.
There will never be another musician/artist like Prince ever again. I really believe he was wired directly to God.
Wow I'm so excited hearing this passage thank you for sharing love your music and love Prince 💜💜💜💜💜

I was at that show it was a big thing for us seeing you I really miss him his music was apart of my child and adult hood 💜

Goosebumbs! Prince, Alicia are definitely one of my alltime faves
Thank you so much for sharing this story of meeting Prince and his legacy!
As u were reading this, I was cheesing like I was there. Wow what a moment n time 4 u
Prince is my favorite musician of all time but Alicia is one of my favorite musicians of all time! She is an incredible musician also, love this beautiful talented lady!
Wow, nice experience, thanks for sharing! Prince was unique! 💜💜💜
Boy, the Prince part of her book had me 'knee deep' involved. Prince and AK are two of my favs.
Alicia you have been such an inspiration to me; since the beginning. Your first album was my first bit of music that I chose for myself. I was 11 and I’ve been following your career ever since. I want to thank you for always acknowledging the growth we continually make as people. Your decision to embrace yourself completely and creating a space/place for others to do the same. Thank you for all that you do.
The meeting of two phenomenal artists, great story, thanks for sharing!😊
I would love to read this book
Beautiful story thanks bunches to you for bringing us the joy of you and Prince, and you never forgot the positive he did for you, and brought to your life. This is what I love about our majestic majesty the greatest musical genius I’ve ever known, how he touched so many of us all over the world💜💜💜💜💜💜💜♊️♊️❤️😍🥰😘😇🙏🦾💃🤩🥳👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👍🤗😁😄💜😘
Awesome memory, I truly believe that if Prince cared about you and your career, it is no question on whether to accept his advice. Prince is a genius and his wanting the best for other artists was his main goal. Also with his love of your work, you gained so many of his fans, because if he loved you, we love you 💜💜 you’re so beautiful and talented keep releasing your beautiful music
You are a vibration too!! That ancient, old soul voice can’t hide✨💗!!!
That was beautiful 💕💕💕
She is absolutely beautiful 💜💜 such a great book 📖 u are amazing queen 👑 🎶🎶
Great Alicia! I have no knowledge of the workings of the music industry; just a fan. For artists to support each other has to be valuable. Prince, to me, was the greatest musician of all time.
I loved the anecdote! I can only imagine meeting the Greatest! Both Prince and Alicia are legends! Thanks for sharing!
Love that you shared this experience! Prince was the epitome of creative genius and freedom.
Hello Alecia, so good seeing you, thank you so much for sharing.
🎉I gotta read that book.
Alicia, your energy is incredibly bright and refreshing. Your book is one of my favs, and has helped guide me so much in my twenties. Thank you queen 🤎
WOW!! I am so glad I clicked this open -- SO GREAT. That is the greatest story!! I remember you Alicia Keys from your humble beginning... It is so good to see where you've come to. WHAT A MOMENT that was!! SO great. Thank you for sharing this.... Just goes to show... There is ALWAYS a WAY 😀God Bless You!! And... THANK YOU PRINCE! Amen!
I purchased ♒ Alicia Keys Autobiography in 2020 during the Winter months as a personal gift for myself when my baby brother was still alive & I remember reading the chapter about Prince which was , I believe, an endearing sentimental tribute to the impact he made to both fans like myself & artistic entertainers like ♒ Alicia Keys WHOM dared to make it in that industry as Prince did before them....♒ Alicia Keys never allowed her unreleased album with another record label dim her dreams & with J records she managed to gain not only an album release as well as a Prince remake hit but she gained a successful debut album....I am so glad to hear she own her own label like Prince did..Way to go ♒ Alicia!!!
I read this book last year ❤ and it brought me so much joy. Thank you.
😇💕💕💕🫶🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯I truly love your 🎶 🎵 ..all of it!! A WHOLE LOT! Very important info too!
Great book. Love how you included your family on trips, exploring different cultures and art.
I adore Prince too💜Alicia is super talented!
That book sounds so worthwhile. Thank you for sharing that passage. 😊
Alicia, you've so thoughtful
This is truly remarkable on such an angelic level!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ohh WOW that truly sounds like having a Real Kairos moment for you. And I'm sure from having that rare opportune opportunity you haven't been the same and it probably feels like it happened yesterday. Wow what a special gift to receive from the one & only "Prince," someone who you admire, adore and look up too, truly that were a rare moment of a lifetime that you could only dream of experiencing and from the looks of it, it has left a mark on your smile, ,( you was grinning 😀 the whole time that You was reading the passage) a long time lasting one thou it seems, 😊 like a forever smile. And that's definitely a priceless timepiece to keep that you'll re-live each time you remember "Prince" and with that smile. I can't imagine meeting someone famous like, "Prince," but I'm sure that you probably had sweaty hands and butterflies in your stomach and your heart pounding and skipping beats and maybe feeling like you're about to explode with joy and shout and scream at the top of your lungs, I know that I would have been like all of above. And screaming that this can't be real. Wow The one and only, "Prince," WOW this is too cool & too Good to be true but it really happened for you and you really did shake his hands now that is totally amazing. And so, he opened up his world to you and welcomed you in, and for a while you humbly played and sang for him inside of "The famous Prince Purple rain world," 🤔 Wow Well, honestly, I believe you, I believe that this really happened and I believe that this was his special way of saying that he Loves you so much so that he brought you into his moment of time just to give you his blessings and his Purple 💜 heart of Love. Thanks for sharing and I must get the Book.
I am beaming while listening to this, Alicia. Prince SO appreciated you. I remember how every concert on the Musicology Tour opened with your induction speech for him at the RRHOF in 2004. Thank you for the beautiful reading, and your truthful words.
Alicia, you are a wonderful teacher. I knew about your storytelling prowess and your connection to your genius , but this takes I it on another level: you’re passing it on. Thank you.
Alicia. You are so amazing. Wow. This took my breath away. You are such a vibe.
Very special, story I enjoyed every word of it. Thanks for sharing a special moment in your life.
Got the audio book, such a special book❤️ happy anniversary 🎉
I love listening to you read this. It's important what Prince stood for, and you express it in such a clear and beautiful way. Your talents blow me over. Thank you for sharing your story. Looking forward to reading it.
Miss that man, so glad he gave us so much while he was here, not the least of which are those he inspired and motivated to share their gifts as well. Thank you Prince and thank you Alicia.
So deep minded and just so beautiful from within and out, what a wonderful woman you are Alicia!! Much love from Norway 💕
I'm so very proud of you my friend ❤️ 💗 keep up the good work 👏
I love me some Prince, I remember the day he passed, I was at work in the break room, I almost cried when I saw what happened on the break room television. RIP Prince.
I have and love this book. Both love you Alicia 🖤🎼
Hello alicia keys you have an incredible personne you are my favorite singer you are the best in the world thank you for the incroyable moments on the stage thank you
This story moved me so much Love u and loved him So Much And that album, man I've listen to it million times ❤❤❤❤❤
I remember reading that in your book thinking wow I would have been just as mesmerized and stoked as you meeting your idol. I love Prince as well his musical genius was always evolving into more greatness can only imagine his vault mind blowing! I feel the same about you always evolving on all levels of greatness in your music and everything you do is authentic and real👌💯You captivated us all with you version of the song too. Sending you love and light queen!😍🎉👑🌹🎊💜
Beautiful reflection by one of the best musicians (the best to me) in the modern musical era of recorded music. I was a fan on Day 1 at the age of 8. My father hated it, but when I heard Soft and Wet, I knew he was special, especially when I read the linear notes. Met him in Chattanooga, TN -- one of the best days of my life. Triple Threat Tour - when he signed autographs.
I Love what you say “how to own our lives” a process but super empowering🙏 Dont let your fear stop you, allow it to propel you!!
Alicia you are equally as amazing as Prince! You are! And he knew that too, I would say…you were so worthy of that experience.😍Just think there is a child out there admiring you just like that! Hopefully they’ll get to me you someday.
Gonna read MORE MYSELF AGAIN🤩 love your perspectives & wisdoms congratulations to ALICIA KEYS RECORDS 🎵 so inspiring to be the owner of all of you, THANKS FOR YOUR REMINDER TO HOLD ON TO WHATS YOURS 💖you‘re the best!!!💫💫💫🙏
The joy of what is good in each book. To all 🤩😍🤩
Dope! Prince was/is the epitome of an 'Artist!'
Love your energy
Thank you Alicia for sharing your experience, I felt like we lived it with you. I grew up with his music, he was passionate about his lyrics and his life. ❤❤
Beautiful!
Amazing wonderful it’s good inspiration, live life to the fullest
Wow u are one of my favorite female singers...loved u sharing that with us...now I need to order the book. Smile
WOW man just Wow! You definitely portrayed his magnetism in those passages! Oh man that's just so sick!!💜✊️
Oh My God! Dat was really inspiring thank you Alicia. ❤ Emotion in my heart rise up in unison :)
That's how we feel about you💜
I'm glad you brought that subject up my sister of so many feelings. That's in a good way, one can use it to help themselves. What drives people of the success level that can take their minds to go to other higher hicks in life, to take the last dead end road in life. That we can go.back for centuries to find the same acts from so many successful people.
I love this
Wow I love this story ! Thank you Alicia I love you and all your songs from the beginnnig ! Prince is a légend like you.
Thx so much 4 the Prince love. U feel the same way I feel about Prince. Now I don't feel so all alone...

It’s about time for this dream to come true! Lol! Remember me from Frankfurt Airport? Connected souls always meet twice, Sis! 😉 much love from Germany
You are an amazing story teller.
Magical Moment
You lucky girl you met him. And you re a Star. I am a 77 yr old white woman who absolutely loved his music. I cried for 24 hrs when I was too OLD to go to his last concert in Oakland. I love your music too.
Thank you QUEEN FOR READING TO US

That's awesome that you got to meet your mentor
