A Minnesota family has shared their extraordinary memories of knowing Prince long before he became a worldwide music sensation – when he was simply their neighborhood babysitter.
Through the StoryCorps oral history project, the family recalled their unique connection to the legendary artist during his formative years. Living in the same Minnesota community as Prince, they experienced a side of the future superstar that few people ever witnessed.
The family’s recollections offer a rare glimpse into Prince’s life before fame, showing him in the humble role of caring for neighborhood children rather than commanding stadium audiences around the globe.
