If prince can kick Kim K off HIS stage for not being able to dance then I’m sure he would not be happy with some of these performances #GRAMMYSalutePrince pic.twitter.com/8CCuIIlTlw

Do y'all know how perfect and significant it is that they have the legendary Earth, Wind, & Fire. Specifically Phillip Bailey and also Mavis Staples tributing Prince?

There are 1500 people in the world who can say, "I saw #Prince play Purple Rain for the first time in front of a crowd." I am one of them. I am going to be sobbing all night watching this tribute. #GRAMMYSalutePrince
