At one point in 1984, Prince simultaneously had the No. 1 album, single, and film in the US; it was the first time a singer had achieved this feat. No music star will ever beat that feat. Even Michael Jackson never accomplished that. Purple Rain was an "Event" in my country.

I'm 61 years old. Remember the exact moment I first heard this song. I was 15 years old at a roller skating rink. It was 1977. Bought the album and have been a Prince fan ever since. Feel so blessed to have grown up during that time.
I'm 60. I come from Amsterdam in Holland. Exactly the same experience. Heard the song, bought Controversy, I think his first album. Fan ever since. Incredibly melancholic, Jesus, how old is he here? 12?😂 And already dead and gone.
Prince was not only a genius musician but a beautiful person. Not a bigoted bone in his body. My dad was a driver on the purple rain tour and prince treated him like royalty. He never forgot it.
You feel me!!! nd they Michael Jackson was the greatest musician/artist 🙄 don't get me as wrong I fucking love Michael! But prince was and always be on another level 👌 RIP 🙏
@@poca007 that's not true, Prince came up as a child of funk, costumes and stage presence. Moving into the 80's every big star did the androgynous look. David Bowie, David Lee Roth, all the metal bands and so forth. It was the look of the times. Not that im judging being gay, he just wasn't. He was deeply in love many times and there's never been one man who claims to have slept with him
Prince wrote this song at 18-19 years old, it was a demo. He wrote "I feel for you" and "I wanna be your lover" for a female artist Patrice Rushen. She turned them both down. Rushen did go on to have a hit of her own "forget me nots." This is why those two songs sound like they could be sung by women. I feel for you was covered by multiple female artist a few years after Prince did the songs himself in 1978-79. Rushen missed out. R&b still had a bluesy feel to it at the time. The young Prince set the tone for the future of R&B and was a major influence in pop music.
He wrote this song and the rest of the album when he was only nineteen - it was his FIRST (edit: it was actually his second) album. And he played every single instrument on it, a total of seventeen different instruments. He was truly the greatest musical and performance genius of the 20th Century.
I'm a 6'8, 350lb, cowboy boot wearing, truck driving, white man and I fucking love prince. Definitely in my top ten favorite all time favorite artists.
I listen to Prince almost every day of my life, and I miss him, terribly. There will never be another one like him. I do not throw the word "Legend" around lightly, but he earned every bit of the word!
thepurplemancunian well not really. back then, soul/rock artists just wore tight jeans, long hair,maybe eyeliner, painted nails - that was judt the art form back then. had nothing to do with gender or sexuality. lol it wasnt just Prince, All. Kiss, Bon Jovi, Stevie Nicks, Queen, etc etc. I loved it
What a talent. What a genius. What a voice. What a guitarist. What a performer. What an entertainer. What a man. What a human being. What a legend. Damn, Prince. Miss you so damn much, man. ❤💜
He’s one of the main reasons that I walk around with a guy don’t really care what society thinks about me attitude it’s because of him and also prince gave hope to dudes like me especially short brothers I will always love price miss a bunch 😢
Damn imagine being in the studio with Prince,okay cool Prince you got vocals,oh and guitar...and bass...keys...and the fkn drums!!!!! christ man why am I here!
Fun Fact: I became a Prince fan in the 80's and didn't know he sang this song until the 2010's. It was like finding a xmas present behind the couch in July.
That's funny because I remember watching this as a youngster (7) when it first came out in1979. He really left an impression on me his look his singing and the way he carried himself. He pretty much slipped out of the picture for me until I saw him one night with the "Little Red Corvette" video. I was like oh I remember that guy. Three albums later I rediscovered him having no idea he was still around....no surprise though "Dirty Mind" and "Controversy" were not kid friendly
The song is a double entendre, the public thinks its about a woman but it's really about Morris day. I believe they have been deeply in love and serious secret lovers for years!!!!
Prince was arguably the most talented artist of the 20th and 21st centuries, he had it all the looks, attitude, the swag, could sing, dance, play guitar, bass, drums, piano, wrote a bunch of hits, broke down racial and sexual barriers. He left way too young, RIP Purple Prince.
LYRICS I ain't got no money I ain't like those other guys you hang around And it's kinda funny But they always seem to let you down And I get discouraged, mmm 'Cause I never see you anymore And I need your love, babe That's all I'm living for, yeah I didn't wanna pressure you, baby But all I ever wanted to do I wanna be your lover I wanna be the only one that makes you come running I wanna be your lover I wanna turn you on, turn you out All night long, make you shout Oh, lover, yeah I wanna be the only one you come for I wanna be your brother I wanna be your mother and your sister, too There ain't no other That can do the things that I'll do to you And I get discouraged 'Cause you treat me just like a child And they say I'm so shy, yeah But with you I just go wild, woo-hoo-hoo I didn't wanna pressure you, baby, no But all I ever wanted to do I wanna be your lover I wanna be the only one that makes you come running I wanna be your lover I wanna turn you on, turn you out All night long, make you shout Oh, lover, yeah I wanna be the only one you come for, yeah
I’m so glad I grew up at a time one prince was becoming who he was meant to be. Hearing all his new music for the first time watching his videos. I completely love this guy I’m so glad he was part of my teen years.
Classic. Look at the hunger passion and confidence in those eyes, this man had something prove since day one........safe to say he proved all he needed to and more.
3121 MSound never had to prove a thing to me... had me from the first time I heard him sing and again after I saw him perform... then over and over again... Miss him so much...
I remember when I first watched this video nearly 40 years ago. Seems like yesterday. But, no matter when you became a fan, I think we can all agree that when Prince left us he took a piece of our hearts with him.
In my opinion is this the most underrated Prince album. He was 20 years old there and made this amazing songs without any help. I feel for you, I wanna be your lover, It's gonna be lonely, Why you wanna treat me so bad, Still waiting, Bambi... It's just so good!!! What an incredible artist and what a loss 😞
That to me is insanely amazing at only 20 years old. At that age I was still trying to figure out what the hell to do with my life. Shiiit I'm still trying to figure it out!
.. Prince was a teenager when his first couple of albums were composed, produced, arranged and preformed alone.. I know that the thumbs down people didnt/couldnt make a single hit. ANY REAL musician would respect that Prince did all the work and mastered countless instruments. More than likely they have only dabbled in one instrument or they would know that being a multi instrumentalist isnt easy. I cant really understand any other reason for a thumbs down. He is the most PROLIFIC writer in history.. Prince broke the genre lines and is a genre of his own. That should be praised by any real musician.
ruclips.net/video/4fIRH5Q9czU/видео.html I did all (composing, instruments, voice, mixing, vid) on my own because I have no friends (kust kidding :) Living in the Middle of nowhere, the only thing you can do is dream. So even if I, according to your comment, would be allowed to dislike Prince, I gotta say, he was a cool dude and made loadsa good music.
Lisa T cool. Yep remember them too lights flashing on the Rollie rink floor. Have to say some of us where doing other things too when this song came on...heh heh, but yes wonderful times they were
I was in 7th grade in 1979 and I called up the local radio station and asked them to play & dedicate Prince's "I Wanna Be Your Lover" to my new girlfriend - and they did! This was the track that made me get into Prince - the next year, I bought 1980's Dirty Mind, loved it, and on & on... RIP funky genius
Prince did everything here. He played all the instruments, arrangements, he's the only one that comes out in this video, he shot this video, he even uploaded this video himself too. Don't believe me? Look who's the uploader, Prince!
@@Rainydayreal_estate you still love his music so whats your point let that negative energy slide we only vibing high on this joint especially in these times
@@richalderson6069 reread before you type I'm coming in on a already had conversation Ding dong not the creator of this shit talk on Princes Name FOH now I said what I said.
I admire this man so much!! He wrote , produced and played every instrument in this video ..All him...his way ... Prince NEVER got the acknowledgement and appreciation he deserved, I feel! He was so talented and brilliant....and One of the BEST , if not THE best guitarist that ever lived!!! So happy I got the pleasure of seeing him perform twice!!! He gave us some awesome music ,so appreciative of it all! RIP PRINCE...WE WILL FOREVER LOVE AND MISS YOU !!
First of all.. where have you been living... under a rock?? Prince won praise and acclaim in spite of his being light skin negro male. He was never anyone puppet like those in the black pressure Media gallery! And at risk if sounding like a nut Prince R "death" is a lie because Minnesota is in the process of a takeover by illiberal govt employees. The following Prince R Nelson has is nothing like what any televangelist has ever had! And prince Nelson has GGPs out of Denmark and Norway. Darker color nigroes are so ugggly 😝. And his grandson look so much cuter than prince did age 10 . Picture of Prince R Nelson in elementary school guy is ugggly because the camera is darker so that caucasian look tan!
Beautiful words you have shared about prince he was not appreciated as much as he deserved to be that's very true he was PURE BRILLIANT TALENT, CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING IN HIS PRESENCE ON MORE THAN 1 OCCASION 🙈 there is nothing I wouldn't do for prince...I 💜 PRINCE,
PRINCE played ALL the instrumenrs on his first 5 albums: For You, Prince,, Dirty Mind, Controversey & 1999. His band was only for touring & stage. Every song he wrote, he'd record it first doing all the vocals & instruments except if there was a solo. He'd leave that part open then the artist would go back & follow him. That came from Susan Rogers. Also, the character Morris was a combo. Of PRINCE & Morris Day clowning around and in the studio PRINCE would talk & behave like the Morris character while he (Prince) was recording! The only thing he loved more than making others laugh is others making him laugh.
Most of my fav artists like Tame Impala and Mac Demarco do the same. That authenticity of the artist... I know Pumped Up Kicks was fully made by the lead singer. Is there a name for an artist that records all their music solo but that has a consistent band? I guess just an artist, no idea.
The late Prince was a powerhouse of Music! He played 27 instruments, wrote all his own and many protoges lyrics, Acted, Directed, Produced, and recorded with everyone from Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Stevie Wonder and Parlament Funkadelic and many others. He was like The Beatles all rolled into one. RIP HIS ROYAL BADNESS.
I grew up in Brooklyn, and fell in love with this song…Prince gave me an appreciation for music, an appreciation for a petite stature and an appreciation for loving and being who I am. Love and honor to you, good Sir…rest in peace and adoration…
I'll be jamming to this in 2055, when the world ends and I'm ready to go, I'll be zooming in a wheelchair pretending my rollerskates from 1980 were on...
It’s 1978, I’m 14 years old and so excited to have my first record player. This was the second single I ever bought - I loved it from the minute I heard it and still love it to this day. It was played on repeat non stop ❤
I want to personally thank Prince for helping me with the ladies back in the day. When this album came out, I was a young man still developing my "rap" and just playing Prince's music would put the women in a excited mood. :) RIP Prince. Still can't believe you're gone.
Saw Prince in Fort Worth opening act for Rick James, very 80's. His act blew James out of the water. I've been a Prince fan since then. And I am a 66 year old white woman. Go figure. His talent was amazing. Sad loss for the world.
I too witnessed that tour, Columbus GAI was 13 at the time,spring of 1983/84, if memory serves Rick was a seasoned vet and Prince was new and hungry but both acts blew the roof the Mother Lover!!!
Time will come, and the media, the professional sector of Music will finally say and recognize that Prince was and is one of the greatest musical Genius who has ever lived on Earth
Prince has so many rap type bars its absolutely fascinating to me. I'm only 31 but my Dad played a ton of Prince and recently passed so I've been digging up memories. I always liked Prince but now I'm starting to see how hes probably one of the best artists to ever exist.
I felt my mortality on the day Prince died. His music has been a huge part in my life, and it started with this song. There will never be another like him.
I do, every day. When he passed, I cried for 3 solid days and then after the whole week I cried a little less but still everyday. To this day whenever I hear him it brings tears. Have you seen the clip of him on Sesame Street singing “Star Fish and Coffee “? It’s one of my favorite songs of his...it’s perfect... I feel like I lost my my brother...
I ain't got no money I ain't like those other guys you hang around And it's kinda funny But they always seem to let you down And I get discouraged 'cause I never see you anymore And I need your love, babe yeah That's all I'm living for, yeah I didn't wanna pressure you, baby But all I ever wanted to do I wanna be your lover I wanna be the only one that makes you come running I wanna be your lover I wanna turn you on, turn you out, all night long, make you shout Oh, lover! Yeah I wanna be the only one you come for I wanna be your brother I wanna be your mother and your sister, too There ain't no other That can do the things that I'll do to you And I get discouraged 'cause you treat me just like a child And they say I'm so shy, yeah But with you I just go wild! I didn't wanna pressure you, baby. No! But all I ever wanted to do I wanna be your lover I wanna be the only one that makes you come running I wanna be your lover I wanna turn you on, turn you out, all night long make you shout Oh, lover! Yeah I wanna be the only one you come for, yeah.
I want to hear the original Adore You song by Prince and not by all these other people who singing a tribute because NO ONE can sing like Prince did. He was one of a kind.
Iulian Tatu I think this is the song that turn out all the girls lol they went crazy for the purple one he was so freaky. I wish I could’ve chill with prince he had all the gorgeous girls.
Give me a break 27 instruments, singer, songwriter and so handsome...he's an ultimate!
Oops and was a shorty...also a great b-ball player...what more could any woman ask for! I wanna be his lover lol❤🎉

We from da same skool of music for real. I am 61 as well. The 70s we were just getting it on! Like Prince🕺🏽
26 but really enjoyed this song, because i love MJ songs too. will dig up more of prince.
I'm 60. I come from Amsterdam in Holland. Exactly the same experience. Heard the song, bought Controversy, I think his first album.
Fan ever since. Incredibly melancholic, Jesus, how old is he here? 12?😂 And already dead and gone.
Sooooo dope but did you know a white boy, DONALD MARSHALL wrote this song for Prince when donny was like 10? TRUTH
But yes obviously, Prince was great performer. He wasn’t an artist
Prince was not only a genius musician but a beautiful person. Not a bigoted bone in his body. My dad was a driver on the purple rain tour and prince treated him like royalty. He never forgot it.
❤
Debatable he was shady towards actual gays yet coming off like a queen himself
I'm going to go with the guy whose dad actually not just met but spent significant time and experience with him.
Right that's why his arrogance didn't allow him to do a joint album with Michael Jackson
He loves pretty women no matter the color
The fact that he played all these instruments by himself is incredible.
Its Prince, thats just him 24/7. Even crazier When Doves Cry (album vers.) was done by Prince over the course of a weekend
Also incredible is that he also SUNG All the background parts! No background singers needed. GOAT! 💜
Prince did majority of his albums alone
really no way!!! ??? ..........!!!!! thats insane xxx!!!.
@@robertneil2538 I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or you actually are surprised
Prince played every instrument on that track... He arraigned the whole thing. Thats amazing...
And he was barely 21 and did all the music on this whole album that's insane
Marcus Prevo he played every instrument sang all tracks and arranged all scores to his 1st 3 albums cut in his basenent
The man who stands against WB bro. From the very start, Top man.
You feel me!!! nd they Michael Jackson was the greatest musician/artist 🙄 don't get me as wrong I fucking love Michael! But prince was and always be on another level 👌 RIP 🙏
@@e.mchugh7585 yep
One main thing I loved about Prince is that he can be himself, and he gave no F***s what people said or thought about him. We miss you man.
King Eazzy
No F****s given is right. True genius.
Harley Trero the GOAT
Except unfortunately he refused to accept his homosexuality because of his religion. No way a straight man could be that sassy and flamboyant😅

Is it just me or is this song timeless??
It’s timeless.
Sounds like it came out in 2021
I guarantee you we will be hearing songs sounding just like within the next 10 to 20 years.
this feels like it was recorded a month ago. He absofrickinlutely lived in the future.
Was bad 40 years ago and still bad today. Timeless.

Thank You for this 😊

Rest in glamour

hes the best on the planet still in 2020
He cracks me up! He dine lost Hus mind! Temporary insanity when there is nothing to do which is alright! What else is there to do!
It wasn't his first album, mate..
Still a fucking genius tho I will never correct anyone on that
For You was first, played all and produced
Two things:
1. This song is catchy as hell.
2. Hair goals.

He had such a sweet sweet falsetto too!
Shane Anthony thanx
Did you skate to this song in the Roller Rink? I's genuinely like to know.
He had the most beautiful voice!
His first hit was Soft and Wet 1978...
gold girl I don't think he was bi nor gay lol trust me he loved women he was just lowkey with it.

You get it. 🎵 🎶

ALL the things Stevie Wonder Still Is.
Yes!!! Prince was one of the most talented music creators in all of the world!!! All-time!!!
@Frost Feminine or not, he was sexy as hell!
@Frost And your point is? Being gay does not stop one from being sexy.
@Frost 🤣🤣🤣 I'm ok with that.
That hair is everything.
Always had a beautiful head of hair
Look carefully... it's similar to Steve Tyler.
Mick Jagger
For sure, in the beginning he had Mick Jagger swagger.
Michele Anderson He is better than Jagger!
Prince is black an Black us the Best!
Fuck you!
Prince's songs are like you never want it to end.
So you just gotta replay it🕺🏽😎
I wanna be your dicker
Prince transcends words such as 'feminine' or 'masculine' . He is simply Prince. The Greatest of all time.
thepurplemancunian / ok
lol u bugging. He's clearly effeminate.
and he's masculine. you can be both
I agree!
thepurplemancunian well not really. back then, soul/rock artists just wore tight jeans, long hair,maybe eyeliner, painted nails - that was judt the art form back then. had nothing to do with gender or sexuality. lol it wasnt just Prince, All. Kiss, Bon Jovi, Stevie Nicks, Queen, etc etc. I loved it
"I wanna be the only one that makes you come...running" I see you Prince, I see you
I know, right?? This song is filthy. lol and it came out in, like 1979
I just noticed that too even after years of listening to it.
Prince wrote this song for Patrice Rushen.
Also at the end "i wanna be the only one you *come* for"
🤟
What a talent. What a genius. What a voice. What a guitarist. What a performer. What an entertainer. What a man. What a human being. What a legend. Damn, Prince. Miss you so damn much, man. ❤💜

Prince played all of the instruments in his songs. Legend. Didn’t even need a band.
BLAZE Beast but he had one tho
He was all natural that's for sure!!
Yes indeed... 27 instruments he played🤯
Ike Nat Turnner Realistically my boy PRN probably played 4. Maybe he played trumpet or something I don't know about
Guitar
Keys
Bass
Drums
Amen
Prince was arguably the most talented artist of the 20th and 21st centuries, he had it all the looks, attitude, the swag, could sing, dance, play guitar, bass, drums, piano, wrote a bunch of hits, broke down racial and sexual barriers. He left way too young, RIP Purple Prince.

'Cause I never see you anymore
And I need your love, babe
That's all I'm living for, yeah
I didn't wanna pressure you, baby
But all I ever wanted to do
I wanna be your lover
I wanna be the only one that makes you come running
I wanna be your lover
I wanna turn you on, turn you out
All night long, make you shout
Oh, lover, yeah
I wanna be the only one you come for
I wanna be your brother
I wanna be your mother and your sister, too
There ain't no other
That can do the things that I'll do to you
And I get discouraged
'Cause you treat me just like a child
And they say I'm so shy, yeah
But with you I just go wild, woo-hoo-hoo
I didn't wanna pressure you, baby, no
But all I ever wanted to do
I wanna be your lover
I wanna be the only one that makes you come running
I wanna be your lover
I wanna turn you on, turn you out
All night long, make you shout
Oh, lover, yeah
I wanna be the only one you come for, yeah
thanks for lyrics
Thank you
Prince was killing it on this track
He exudes sex and so talented
I’m so glad I grew up at a time one prince was becoming who he was meant to be. Hearing all his new music for the first time watching his videos. I completely love this guy I’m so glad he was part of my teen years.
Why doesn’t anyone make beats/music like this anymore. Prince’s music makes you dance and has that amazing funk
Yes, there is music with this style nowadays.
The 1975 just talked about how they use stylistic elements of this prince song in their own work
Because it sounds like a parody.
The music sounds cool but this dancing and singing ain't it.
Try Parcels.. modern band of course nothing like this gem of a man
...silk sonic
Classic. Look at the hunger passion and confidence in those eyes, this man had something prove since day one........safe to say he proved all he needed to and more.
3121 MSound never had to prove a thing to me... had me from the first time I heard him sing and again after I saw him perform... then over and over again...
Miss him so much...
So we just going to ignore how he playing all the instruments? Okay ... He is one of the GOAT's.
pixxiesarebetter Prince was and is a gift from god we will never see another genius like him ever again
I noticed
Definitely one of the most talented musicians in my lifetime (and I was born in the late 60s)
He actually thought himself to play 26 different instruments...he was very intelligent.
Prince played 26 instruments. I admit some of them were similar such as bass, guitar Etc. And then there was piano and organ and even the drums!
Happy birthday, Prince!
Prince was a beautiful man
Ok 😑
Yes he was..💜💜💜
Yes indeed!👍💜💜💜
And you must be a handsome woman
As is Selena Gomez!.. 🤭
He wrote this song as an ode to Patrice Rushen.....greatness knows greatness ⚡🌟
Cool ...never knew that...
Interestin. Patrice is so beautiful and talented and explain why this is by far my fav of prince
He wrote it because he had a crush on her.
Trivia!
Really? I love Patrice too!
I remember when I first watched this video nearly 40 years ago. Seems like yesterday.
But, no matter when you became a fan, I think we can all agree that when Prince left us he took a piece of our hearts with him.
teach meeting
I fell the same...now I am 54
This was walking music within music it's self .R.I.P prince
In my opinion is this the most underrated Prince album. He was 20 years old there and made this amazing songs without any help. I feel for you, I wanna be your lover, It's gonna be lonely, Why you wanna treat me so bad, Still waiting, Bambi... It's just so good!!! What an incredible artist and what a loss 😞
and of course "sexy dancer"
@@DjIceCnS yeah sure 👍
Album Prince is AWESOMEEEEE
That to me is insanely amazing at only 20 years old. At that age I was still trying to figure out what the hell to do with my life. Shiiit I'm still trying to figure it out!
I love the whole album, its so catchy
Rip Mr.Prince thank you for your music
.. Prince was a teenager when his first couple of albums were composed, produced, arranged and preformed alone.. I know that the thumbs down people didnt/couldnt make a single hit. ANY REAL musician would respect that Prince did all the work and mastered countless instruments. More than likely they have only dabbled in one instrument or they would know that being a multi instrumentalist isnt easy. I cant really understand any other reason for a thumbs down. He is the most PROLIFIC writer in history.. Prince broke the genre lines and is a genre of his own. That should be praised by any real musician.
ruclips.net/video/4fIRH5Q9czU/видео.html
I did all (composing, instruments, voice, mixing, vid) on my own because I have no friends (kust kidding :)
Living in the Middle of nowhere, the only thing you can do is dream.
So even if I, according to your comment, would be allowed to dislike Prince, I gotta say, he was a cool dude and made loadsa good music.
Luv4oneAnother 1999
He's the greatest musican ever
True and well said! Let it be known that Stevie Wonder was a big influence in his life.
Happy Birthday Prince! Love and Miss U 💜💜💜
I remember roller skating to this when I was a teenager. Everyone was happy as hell when this song came on. RIP Prince. You are sorely missed.
Lisa T cool. Yep remember them too lights flashing on the Rollie rink floor. Have to say some of us where doing other things too when this song came on...heh heh, but yes wonderful times they were
I was in 7th grade in 1979 and I called up the local radio station and asked them to play & dedicate Prince's "I Wanna Be Your Lover" to my new girlfriend - and they did! This was the track that made me get into Prince - the next year, I bought 1980's Dirty Mind, loved it, and on & on... RIP funky genius
He was pretty awesome!
Same age for me. Damn. This guy became part of my genetic makeup.
No one like him before or since. Sing on in heaven, sweet Prince.
I hope he was saved ✝️🙏❤️
he was and is incredible and there's no one like him
Holly girl you are so right ❤
Hey stop with the reminder. You're going to die one day and then no one else cares about you!
Boy GENIUS! So much cuter than 😵 Rick James!!!!! LFL Love You ALWAYS
He is the musical prodigy of a generation and we will never have one in music again 🎤 😎 ❤🎶 🚘 💯 🔟 🛥 🍷 🕺 💃 🖤
This Song.His Haiir. Is everything 😍😍
+Delcee Kustaborder yes he was
Josepha yassssssssssss
BlvckBarbieChannel Dripping wit SWAG! 🔥🔥🔥 HOTTT!!🔥🔥🔥
India Clarke 👌
HOTTT!! 🔥🔥🔥 SEXXXY!! 🔥🔥🔥
Prince did everything here. He played all the instruments, arrangements, he's the only one that comes out in this video, he shot this video, he even uploaded this video himself too. Don't believe me? Look who's the uploader, Prince!
This was the late 70s, so I'm sure there was a cameraman there.
Self taught my dad played w prince
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
He even knitted his own top and sewed his pants he was that talented.
Designed his own clothing.
Five years after his death, it’s still weird knowing he’s gone, but his music will always be with us - love this song, one of the best!
Yesss
2024 and this is still amazing. Miss you Prince. 💜
I’m listening to Prince I Wanna Be Your Lover late June 2024
1:00
I miss Prince too😢
@@Kassuendaernestina-ed8yn he was such a gift.
@@brandonmoore7497 love that song. 💜
Prince was unashamedly androgynous, he really showed that a man could be anything he wanted to be, a very free spirit.
And surprisingly homophobic in which is pretty sad
@@Rainydayreal_estateThe Jehovah Witness thing probably caused all that.
@@Rainydayreal_estate you still love his music so whats your point let that negative energy slide we only vibing high on this joint especially in these times
@@xd_vonify7731 Ugh, you were the one that brought up his homophobia so I'm not spreading any negative here, just reacting to it.
@@richalderson6069 reread before you type I'm coming in on a already had conversation Ding dong not the creator of this shit talk on Princes Name FOH now I said what I said.
I admire this man so much!! He wrote , produced and played every instrument in this video ..All him...his way ... Prince NEVER got the acknowledgement and appreciation he deserved, I feel! He was so talented and brilliant....and One of the BEST , if not THE best guitarist that ever lived!!! So happy I got the pleasure of seeing him perform twice!!! He gave us some awesome music ,so appreciative of it all! RIP PRINCE...WE WILL FOREVER LOVE AND MISS YOU !!
First of all.. where have you been living... under a rock??
Prince won praise and acclaim in spite of his being light skin negro male.
He was never anyone puppet like those in the black pressure Media gallery!
And at risk if sounding like a nut Prince R "death" is a lie because Minnesota is in the process of a takeover by illiberal govt employees.
The following Prince R Nelson has is nothing like what any televangelist has ever had!
And prince Nelson has GGPs out of Denmark and Norway.
Darker color nigroes are so ugggly 😝. And his grandson look so much cuter than prince did age 10 . Picture of Prince R Nelson in elementary school guy is ugggly because the camera is darker so that caucasian look tan!
Beautiful words you have shared about prince he was not appreciated as much as he deserved to be that's very true he was PURE BRILLIANT TALENT, CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING IN HIS PRESENCE ON MORE THAN 1 OCCASION 🙈 there is nothing I wouldn't do for prince...I 💜 PRINCE,
Totally agree on everything.
❤
PRINCE played ALL the instrumenrs on his first 5 albums: For You, Prince,, Dirty Mind, Controversey & 1999. His band was only for touring & stage. Every song he wrote, he'd record it first doing all the vocals & instruments except if there was a solo. He'd leave that part open then the artist would go back & follow him. That came from Susan Rogers. Also, the character Morris was a combo. Of PRINCE & Morris Day clowning around and in the studio PRINCE would talk & behave like the Morris character while he (Prince) was recording! The only thing he loved more than making others laugh is others making him laugh.
Most of my fav artists like Tame Impala and Mac Demarco do the same. That authenticity of the artist... I know Pumped Up Kicks was fully made by the lead singer. Is there a name for an artist that records all their music solo but that has a consistent band? I guess just an artist, no idea.
L G you lying
Happy Heavenly Birthday, Prince
you can be fabulous, but you'll never be more fabulous than this...
The late Prince was a powerhouse of Music! He played 27 instruments, wrote all his own and many protoges lyrics, Acted, Directed, Produced, and recorded with everyone from Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Stevie Wonder and Parlament Funkadelic and many others.
He was like The Beatles all rolled into one.
RIP HIS ROYAL BADNESS.
Everything about Prince is epic!!! Including this hair 🤦🏽♀️😍😍😍😍👑
I grew up in Brooklyn, and fell in love with this song…Prince gave me an appreciation for music, an appreciation for a petite stature and an appreciation for loving and being who I am. Love and honor to you, good Sir…rest in peace and adoration…
WHO ELSE WILL STILL BE JAMMING TO THIS SWEET JAM IN 20/20 ?
I'll be jamming to this in 2055, when the world ends and I'm ready to go, I'll be zooming in a wheelchair pretending my rollerskates from 1980 were on...
me...
I am!!
2021
Etc....
That red scarf on the microphone is everything!
It’s 1978, I’m 14 years old and so excited to have my first record player. This was the second single I ever bought - I loved it from the minute I heard it and still love it to this day. It was played on repeat non stop ❤
❤
This song will get stuck in your head ... Easily. Great tune.
Produced, written,arranged,composed and played All the instruments by Prince 💜
Every last one.
The absolute bloody best ⭐️💜
Classic, this song still sounds so beautiful. Love the beat and the words. Timeless Classic.
Prince is a ICON
Legend.
NO! .....Prince is thee *ICON*
Prince was and still Is and will 4ever be a ICON and a legend..🙏🏽
He is a legend
@@dennyii5292 You beat me to it
Can we just talk about Prince’s hair for a hot minute? Because honey, that blow out.
You could tell it was probably the first time he got his afro straightened too, cause he really could not get enough of whipping it around lmao
yaaasss!
😂😂😂😂
He’s so fucking sexy here. So effeminate but manly too. He was my fantasy lover
Prince should have built a cosmetology school. It would have been very successful.His hair was always on point.
damn that hair is FABULOUS
❤❤❤❤❤right
That hair is giving me life.🥰😍
I want to personally thank Prince for helping me with the ladies back in the day. When this album came out, I was a young man still developing my "rap" and just playing Prince's music would put the women in a excited mood. :) RIP Prince. Still can't believe you're gone.
Roger
Amen brotha preach. I too got mad play when this cat came out. I'm in chill mode now neva thirsty. Lol. Peace
Saw Prince in Fort Worth opening act for Rick James, very 80's. His act blew James out of the water. I've been a Prince fan since then. And I am a 66 year old white woman. Go figure. His talent was amazing. Sad loss for the world.
💛
I'm right there with ya! Lol
I think that was the first time he opened for Rick James.
i heard about their BEEF. Rick James hatin on prince, IMHO 🏃♂️🚚
I too witnessed that tour, Columbus GAI was 13 at the time,spring of 1983/84, if memory serves Rick was a seasoned vet and Prince was new and hungry but both acts blew the roof the Mother Lover!!!
Prince was a musical GENIUS!!
yes for me he s the best always love you prince from france i saw him in le parc des princes never forget
A musical genius and a man of the Lord!!!
Yes/ yes! 💜🕊
Yes/ yes💜🕊
Yes/yes💜🕊
Time will come, and the media, the professional sector of Music will finally say and recognize that Prince was and is one of the greatest musical Genius who has ever lived on Earth
Prince has so many rap type bars its absolutely fascinating to me. I'm only 31 but my Dad played a ton of Prince and recently passed so I've been digging up memories. I always liked Prince but now I'm starting to see how hes probably one of the best artists to ever exist.
esta canción te da toda la razón
Facts!!!!
I felt my mortality on the day Prince died. His music has been a huge part in my life, and it started with this song. There will never be another like him.
@@sari5494 oh yeah, you are cool! Prince would agree. :)
@@alexasaltz4229 As long as we'll stay connected to our dearly beloved Prince, we'll be immortal 😘
WERE are the 80s KIDS claiming this 70s song ?
@@theodoreritola9758 of course!
Amen I Have A Shower Curtain in My Bathroom 😂
Who else wishes Prince was still alive!
Ruben Delgadillo Everybody. Be quiet.
I do, every day. When he passed, I cried for 3 solid days and then after the whole week I cried a little less but still everyday. To this day whenever I hear him it brings tears. Have you seen the clip of him on Sesame Street singing “Star Fish and Coffee “? It’s one of my favorite songs of his...it’s perfect... I feel like I lost my my brother...
Who doesn't want to
I miss him too
I want Prince back
Love his falsetto voice very versatile singer
42 years later and this song and his perm is still unfuckwitable.
Never get's old. That groove tho.....
Dollhouse International, LLC it will never get old to me that second album was the bomb
Best Prince song ever. What a musical genius, played every instrument on this song and whole album. We lost a true legend when he passed.
My favorite Prince song of all times!!!
I ain't got no money
I ain't like those other guys you hang around
And it's kinda funny
But they always seem to let you down
And I get discouraged
'cause I never see you anymore
And I need your love, babe yeah
That's all I'm living for, yeah
I didn't wanna pressure you, baby
But all I ever wanted to do
I wanna be your lover
I wanna be the only one that makes you come running
I wanna be your lover
I wanna turn you on, turn you out, all night long, make you shout
Oh, lover! Yeah
I wanna be the only one you come for
I wanna be your brother
I wanna be your mother and your sister, too
There ain't no other
That can do the things that I'll do to you
And I get discouraged
'cause you treat me just like a child
And they say I'm so shy, yeah
But with you I just go wild!
I didn't wanna pressure you, baby. No!
But all I ever wanted to do
I wanna be your lover
I wanna be the only one that makes you come running
I wanna be your lover
I wanna turn you on, turn you out, all night long make you shout
Oh, lover! Yeah
I wanna be the only one you come for, yeah.
Iulian Tatu z
Iulian Tatu He went off on this one.

I was born in 1973, so my older brother put me on to Prince as a kid. In an era with legendary musicians, Prince still stands atop
It’s my favorite song of his. RIP, wonderful man.❤️
So fantastic 😊
