I wish Morris Hayes would write a book about his 20 years with Prince.

A genius cannot shut it down, not even in sleep. Prince reached this level because there was no other option for him. Such a masterful musician. So terribly missed. Excellent interview, thank you Fil and Morris.

I think this is my favorite interview that you've done, Fil! Morris has so many fascinating stories and insights. I love what he said about music being a uniter - this community is definitely evidence of that! 💜

I didn't think I could love Prince more than I did but after watching these last 4 videos, I do. He is loved and missed so much by so many. Thank you for the episodes Fil and Morris!

A big THANK YOU to Mr. MORRIS HAYES and to You, FIL - it's been absolutely amazing, listening to this four part interview!💕

Oh my goodness Fil, you saved the best for last, for sure! This was great, Morris is a hoot! I loved the story about Prince's guitar tuning and Morris' keyboard dying, and Prince telling him to throw it down and make a show of it! I'm not surprised you two talked for so long, clearly Morris is a big music geek too, that look on his face when you told him that Freddie Mercury had been auto-tuned! I also found it interesting that Morris said something that I say in medicine all the time, "just because we can, doesn't mean we should." And a great final message as well. Thanks so much for this, both of you!

Wow! What a great compliment you received! Glad someone like Morris sees that in you. Kudos!! Thank you Fil - this was a great series.

Thank you so much for this interview! Kudos to Morris for working with, yes, a genius, for so many years. I'm loving learning more about my favorite musician, may he RIP. Thanks, Fil!

Thanks for this great interview. Morris is so genuine in telling the behind the scenes stories. He impressed me as being a very humble person. You did a great job interviewing, and thanks for sharing!

Hi Fil, Another amazing installment of this interview. Prince = genius, Robin Williams = Genius, Richard Pryor = Genius. I have always thought Robin Williams was a genius, and how things just seem to rivet in his mind. No one can even come close to these guys because they were as Morris said, operating on a different frequency then us mere mortals… such great stories, memories and experiences Morris shared with us. But most importantly that music knows no boundaries! And it takes hard work and practice, determination and dedication to the art. I believe Morris was saying to strive for excellence in whatever you do. What an inspiring and motivational interview. And his admiration for you, the channel and your musical gifts are a true testament in recognizing all that you do and so graciously share with your Fans. I for one am in awe and so happy you were able to speak with Morris and talk about his time with Prince. You Are The Best…Love you! Debbie ☮️🥰

I love his inside stories, his great personality! The way he's telling it makes you feel like you were really there. 😊 Prince did genius sh*t.

Nice interview man, I met Morris and Tommy when I broke my leg just before the Edinburgh Gig 92, due to my cast I was allowed to go in through the artist entrance and the band pulled up on a bus just as I went in, I hobbled alongside and said hello. Funky guy, great gig, Ill never forget the experience of that day.

We appreciate the time put into these interviews. Prince was so unique, talented. I personally like a series of shorter videos vs one long one, makes easier to fit in. Thanks Fil & Morris 😊🏜✨️🎸🎼🎶⚙️🔥

I could listen to Morris all day long and even longer, telling stories about his time with Prince. He's pretty funny, Love when he impersonates Prince's voice. I Love the hardware store story. 💜💜💜

I have loved Morris' convivial company, your interviewing/listening skills have really brought out the great stories! Great editing, too!

It’s interesting to hear Morris express his interest in the people behind the engineering and mastering of albums such as Bernie Grundman who is a legend for cutting some of the best albums and vinyl.

I really enjoyed this interview, I believe it's the best one I've seen so far. Morris has high regards for you as we all do. You are the "dope cat" in part one, and a "bad dude" in part 4, and I agree with him 100%, lol. Listening to Morris tell his stories about his experiences working with Prince was very interesting and funny. Prince was definitely a genius and I'm sure Morris will treasure the memories of playing for him for the rest of his life. He was right when he said that music is the only language everyone understands, that it brings people together! Thank you Fil and Morris for this awesome interview! You both Rock!

My life has been improved hearing these interviews and his stories!

I really enjoyed part 4 of the Morris Hayes interview. Thank you Fil and to Morris for sharing these wonderful stories about what it was like to work with Prince. Music truly does bring everyone together! 💜🎵

Best interviews with Morris ever. 🏆🎶🎯💚🔥🔥🔥😁👍

Fil you have outdone yourself! I am a hardcore Prince fan and I cannot tell you how much I appreciated this interview and your enthusiasm for Prince AND music in general! Your the best brother!

I was not expecting a part 4 to your interview with Morries Hayes, I have more of an appreciation of Prince and Morries Hayes. thanks Fil.

Thank you Fil, this is a great interview. Morris Hayes is such a great storyteller, these 4 episodes just flew by. I loved every minute.

Awesome! I didn’t want it to end. Music does bring people together and we definitely need it now more than ever.

Loved this 4 part interview. Thanks Fil for bringing it to us and thank you Morris for sharing your knowledge and memories of Prince with us! 👍

Thank you Fil & Morris for a lovely ending to this amazing interview! I loved his stories about Prince's presence of mind, positivity & work ethic. I agree that music is universal & intergalactic! Love is the answer and you know that for sure. 🖤🤘

Wonderful video series Fil. Learned so much, especially looking back on music and how I took so much for granted when I was young. His mention of dedication and knowledge of his craft is so important in any profession or industry. If we can learn what we do well and master it, then we can find that niche where we can do the most with what we have been given. Sometimes I think we spread ourselves too thin trying to do too much. Prince is missed, but we still have his music. This journey was a real joy. Thank you and Morris for taking us on it. ❤

You guys are pretty cool. Thank you for the interview. Music makes things better for me. Always has.

It was a treat to hear Morris's stories and insights. He didn't need much prompting, yet as a thought was completed, you were always ready with an appropriate follow-up. It was just a cool conversation between you two. I truly enjoyed this series and will listen to it again in the future. Thanks!

Liked to have heard that Prince guitar solo, after he had to retune in midst of onstage performance. Thanks for expanding the interview to include 4 parts. Liked hearing the anecdotes, music biz notes, and Prince profile from a veteran insider.. Kudos to you and M Hayes for one heck of an interview.

Not only have i learned alot but thoroughly enjoyed the interview! My favorite line was "music is salve for the soul, it brings us together as one" right on ! Fil thank you for not only doing this amazing interview, but for sharing it with us !

I watched all four parts of your interview with Morris Hayes and enjoyed them all! Thank you to Morris for sharing the stories and thank you Phil for using your platform for this interview that gives us all a much deeper understanding of Prince’s creative process, in addition to some real gems of advice from a pro like Hayes. I really enjoyed this. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Fil, you saved the best for last! Thanks to Mr. Hayes for his fantastic stories. I'm sure he has many more. Enjoyed his words of wisdom too. Thank you Fil for putting this series together for us.

This series of interviews needs to be seen by many more people. You two had a great rapport. Different backgrounds but a shared love of music.

Brilliant interview and thanks to Morris for his authenticity and insight.- and I was there at Wembley stadium

Amazing series! Loved Morriss's outlook on life and some of the things he mentioned made me happy that I was putting in the work in the same ways in my music and singing. Thank you for this gift.

Hello Fil. I really enjoyed the 4 part interview with Morris Hayes. I had a hunch it was going to be extra special right from the start upon your greeting him to your channel in an appropriate manner. From there the interviews just got more and more in depth with humor, knowledge, wisdom and the banter between you two was wonderful! This was very refreshing in today's world almost like chatting with old friends over coffee. I would join in anytime! These interviews and analysis rock!! Well done Fil.

Every new Morris interview He comes up with stories unheard, love this guy ,cheers Fil

I’m not a musician (unless playing the recorder counts for anything 😂), but I truly appreciate your channel. So informative and extremely insightful. Thank you. 👍😀

Love Prince! Thank you for this interview series. And Morris is right, "this cat gets it".

Hello! Way to go, Fil & Mr Hayes!! It was a wonderful interview. I'll miss this duo. Here's to geniuses, great stories and music ✨ Thank you 🖤🤘🏽

Fil, you and Morris "resonating at universal frequencies!" Great interview. Many, many thanks.

Love the messege going out Hayes!!! Love4OneAnother!!! Love You Brother!!! Keep telling these wonderful stories about your time with the Great One!!! I will Never get tired of hearing them!!!! U R a Great story teller, impressions and all, lol 💜💜💜

Awesome guy! To play with Prince for 2 decades is amazing especially considering all the band changes. I would love to see a follow up video with your impressions.

Great! Love it!! Be well and safe Fil, blessings to all!

Great interview ,always love Morris Hayes Prince Stories ,such a cool guy and great musician .Like he says he managed to go with most of the P different bands ,that is an achievement in itself .Really miss Prince he was on a different level ,always evolving too .

Hi, Fil..!🧚 Thank you for a good job, "Prince memories "..you offer a lot of wealth in music, . But your english charm win over all in my eyes.... You are in the sky of my preferences..🎇 Love. 🌹

This interview is the BOMB!! Wow, loved every minute of it. You were talking about stuff that I always thought about Prince but have never heard it so perfectly articulated. Can't thank you enough for these interviews!! 😘

Nice and interesting video analysis 🎸🤟

This interview has been so interesting, fun, and educational. I have learned you really need to know how to be flexible - even when someone messes up your guitar or your keyboard breaks. The other lesson, as we say "if if ain't broke, don't try to fix it" could definitely be applied when it comes to autotuning a voice like Freddie Mercury's. As cool of a cat as Prince was, I would never have tried to screw up his guitar tuning. Thanks, Fil, once again. ❤

This four series has been amazing. Thanks Film❤❤❤

Amen @ 24:00. Great interview!!

Excellent!!!Thanks!!!

This has been a great series Excellent. BTW my back shivered when he talked about fingernails on the chalkboard!!

Great interview video.....all 4 parts. Thanks for putting this all together, very enjoyable.....I have gained even more respect for Prince and now, Brother Morris....Thank you, Fil...

Prince wasn't no joke...😂😂😂...love my guy

Morris Hayes is next level!

Amazing series Fil ! Thanks for doing it💜

A played a little bit with Morris in Memphis TN, he's a gem! No wonder Prince kept him around so long. That's one thing I don't think you touched on. "The hang"

This was pure gold. Thank you so much for spending so much time and drawing so many amazing stories of Morris. Such a beautiful and honest soul, no wonder the boss kept him around for so long!

What a great series. So cool that Morris shared so much about his experiences in the industry.

Hello Fil, These interview with Morris Hayes videos are awesome . I enjoy alot of your content please keep doing what you do. Thank You!

Wow thanks Fil, I thoroughly enjoyed that whole conversation 💜💜💜 could have listened all night as well!! 😁

Thank you & Morris for this great interview.

Great interview ! Thanks !

So interesting and totally enjoyable. Thank you so much fil

A superb interview. This guy Morris was great, hopefully you interview him again and again. I think hes a genius in his own . Prince was a musician master, genius who surrounded himself around musician genuineness. He listened to all kinds of music genres. Prince pushed himself musically and also mastering sound frequency. He tapped into the spiritual realm with his music art ,absolutely. Im truly phenomenal . Im amazed. Morris give some very insightful life lessons on difficulty levels

Love your channel! Keep at it! And the more Prince, the better!

There is Music and there is PRINCE🤟🎸👍🍾

You are becoming THE BEST interviewer!!!! I can't wait for more!!!

I really enjoyed this interview all 4 parts👏

Thanks again, another splendid video. Morris you are so spot on. You mentioned earlier The American band stand, at 21 years old, if you could believe it. Prince's guitar strap broke and his guitar fell to the ground. He continued his show as nothing happened, I bet most people watching it didn't even notice. He was still a baby with the wisdom of an old soul even then. I've wondered HOW? Prince through the years threw his microphone down to the ground and picked it up and sang in it, how did it keep working? He was a bad boy, always kicking and throwing his microphone down. That's why the girls loved him, A bad boy. Morris what are you up to now? Music wise.

Increasing our value works in every realm of life.

Merci beaucoup, what a great interview.

I hope you two get to play together sometime. Great interview 💜

What an amazing gracious cat. Really enjoyed it !

More Prince! This was awesome!

great interview

I can't believe I missed these. Morris is the coolest cat ever. I never get bored of hearing him tell stories. Such a great player and carrier of the legacy. Super stuff. Thanks so much :-))))))

the part about the keyboard dying!!! "I die now" 🤣

Would love to see the footage of prince tuning that guitar and the resulting solo.

As Morris would say , this was bananas. Ha ha .

I could listen to Morris all day, he's a cool Cat

Great interview, thank you! Now if only you could get Wendy Melvoin in for an interview!

I have to say again, I just love Morris, what a nice man. TY for the interviews Fil. I do have one complaint, though I don't think this is something you could control - sometimes there was a "twanging" sound on his end that made it hard to hear some of what he was saying.

I'd love to see your analysis of some of the live performances by Ren. I feel like his focus is really on storytelling and using music as a vehicle for that. Much of his more recent work is rap but the live performances of "Chalk Outlines" or "How to Be Me," both with Chinchilla, are sung.

Thanks for this interview FFF

What a wise man.

I still 'member the first time I heard When Doves Cry. R.I.P., Prince.

Fil, you're a bad dude. Awesome!

💜💜💜 I LOVE Morris. He's a great guy.

total respect

💜

Wow! So much truth.

Beautiful

Oh no!!! This was the last one, didn’t want it to be end 😢😭

Hi Phil! Hve you looked at Nick Lucas? He recorded "Tip Toe Through the Tulips" in 1929. He was a great guitar player!

Consummate performer🎉🎉🎉

Hello fill, having heard that story about Prince his guitar out of tune. Well, I would have been disappointed if he could NOT get it IN TUNE in time. Don’t get me wrong I love Prince. But if you play as long as Prince was doing he has to know that. I have seen players break strings and replace it and tune it while they were playing. But still it’s a lousy way to get back at Prince just because the guy was going to be fired. Again awesome interview. I’m sad it ended. I WANT TO HEAR MORE MORE MORE. morris is fly. 😂 Greetings buddy.

Suggestion: a blast from the past; Dan HIcks and Hot Licks. Innocent Bystander or I Scare Myself, Ole CowHand. subtle great musicisionship
