0:00It's April 26, you're listening to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI-powered entertainment coverage. Jimmy Jam, the 66-year-old producer, is still reflecting on his old friend Prince 10 years after the icon passed on April 21st, 2016 at age 57. They first crossed paths in junior high during piano class where both already knew their way around the keys. One day, their teacher put together a band for a school play and these two raised their hands right away. Jimmy picked drums while Prince went for guitar, both giving each other their surprise look. But during practice, Jimmy steps away and comes back to hear someone crushing the drums, turns out it's Prince at just 13 years old, blowing. Mine's already. Prince was a straight-up prodigy who could handle every instrument like it was nothing. As they grew up, they kept linking up, and Prince even launched the time as his opening accrue in the early 1980s with Jimmy Jam right. In the mix alongside Moore's day and the rest.

To this day, Jimmy thinks Prince for those two big breaks, pulling them in, and then letting them fly solo. That's real legacy right there.
