Conversation with Saul Bass from 20 Outstanding Los Angeles Designers (1986)

“The fact of the matter is, I want everything we do - that I do personally, that our office does - to be beautiful. I don’t give a damn whether the client understands that that’s worth anything, or that the client thinks that it’s worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It’s worth it to me. It’s the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares.”

- Conversation with Saul Bass in Archie Boston’s ‘20 Outstanding Los Angeles Designers’ (1986)

Prince’s First Television Appearance on NBC’s Midnight Special 1980 Performing ‘I Wanna Be Your Lover’ and ‘Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?’ �

“There’s nothing our next guest can’t do,” the goofy hosts of NBC’s variety show The Midnight Special say by way of introduction, in January 1980. “He arranged, produced, composed, and performed his last album entirely by himself.” Then Prince comes out in a zebra-print vest-and-underwear number, black leggings, black heeled boots, and perfect hair to slay the first two tracks from Prince, “I Wanna Be Your Lover” and “Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad.”
