The late music legend Prince made his voice heard as an 11-year-old, and not just as a budding entertainer.

Footage unearthed by WCCO in Minneapolis shows him singing the praises of educators at a 1970 teachers’ strike picket line in the city. (Watch the segment below.)

“I think they should get some more money, because they work extra hours for us, and all that stuff,” the young Prince said.

Production manager Matt Liddy found the clip while researching old footage to provide perspective for a recent teachers’ strike. The station confirmed the boy was indeed Prince — then Prince Rogers Nelson — through childhood friend Terrance Jackson.
