Today marks what would have been Prince’s 64th birthday. Prince Rogers Nelson was born on June 7, 1958. The iconic artist died tragically on April 21, 2016, far too early at the age of 57. When Prince was 21, he appeared on the long-running music program American Bandstand hosted by Dick Clark. During the appearance, a 21-year-old Prince tells Clark that he’s 19, just one of many interesting aspects of a controversial early television appearance by the legendary musician.
