    At his Super Bowl halftime performance they came to Prince and said “we have some bad news, it is going to be raining”. Prince was quite for a moment and replied “can you make it rain harder”. His performance is considered one of the best halftime performances ever, if not the best.

      I will say this right now, I was deployed to Afghanistan during that superbowl (Colts v. Bears), we found a tv and watched it. I think we had to wake up at like 3 or something like that. I normally don't watch the half-time show. I watched Prince, yeah probably best live performance ever. Yes, Prince could shred. Prince was a multi-instrumentalist. There's a Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame performance of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" you need to check out.
      At at time that music was still kind of racially segmented he drove pretty much everybody to the record store. Rock Star just doesn't do it.

    Prince is our Mozart, he mastered over 14 instruments by age 17, he could dance, sing any note, rap, he wrote, arranged, performed ALL his music, including wrote hits for other artists, he has covered almost every genre, Metal, Punk rock, hip hop, pop, r&b, soul, jazz, blues, country, ambience, classical, instrumental. The Multi-Genre God. He could play anything, and your favorite artists have been deeply influenced by him. Corey Taylor, Whitney Houston, Steve Vai, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Lil uzi vert, H.E.R. , Paul Mccartney, all worship Prince to just name a few.
    Prince recorded his first 2 albums at 16 all by himself, all instruments, lyrics, arrangement, composition & vocals were all by him. He was such a prodigy, that music executives wanted proof, they would fly across country just to see if he could really play all instruments, because it was so unheard of. Prince has over 50 official released albums and when he passed, they found over 10 thousand unreleased Prince music in his vault. He then came into the business and was the FIRST to fight for artists rights, and he WON. He would write "slave" on his cheek and go to meetings protesting against the industry. Prince was also the first artist to sell his music on the internet. You are talking about the most talented artist we will ever see.

    Dude this is so unreal, incredible you've never heard Prince before. He was the Mozart of the 20th century, his vocal range covered 4 octaves, he could play more than 20 instruments, wrote hundreds of songs and released dozens of records, his work inkludes every style of modern music. From Gospel, Jazz, Funk, Blues to HipHop, Rap, Rock, Pop, Disco, Electro, modern classic and experimental, it's all there. Almost impossible to pick a favorite song, but if I should recommend one? Try Sexy MF, hilarious funny music video, you will love it.

      I went to high school with him. He asked me to teach him how to play the violin. I think it took everything he had in him to ask, he was so shy. I taught him the basics, but he left our school for another and we didn't keep in touch . I followed his career. He was perfect and I absolutely lost it the day he died.
      I blame the DEA for his death. With better pain management, he wouldn't have had to turn to street drugs for his constant physical agony.

    This is a scene from the end of a movie (Purple Rain), which explains most of that scene. The song was actually performed live on that stage for the album. Prince not only wrote all his own material, he also wrote a dozen hits for other artists that he never even performed on his own records.
    One of the most iconic Prince moments on video is when he played the guitar solo at the end of "When My Guitar Gently Weeps" in tribute to George Harrison of the Beatles in 2004. Easy to find on RUclips, includes Tom Petty and other rock stars as well.
    Other songs? Check out "Dirty Mind" and "When Doves Cry".

He was a beast!! RIP Purple Yoda.💜

This music video is an excerpt from a movie by the same name, in which his father commits suicide right before this performance. You're the man Michael, keep up the solid reactions bud!

    You don’t fully appreciate Prince until you watch him live. While Purple Rain is a fantastic song it’s no where near his best. His live performance of Purple Rain on the AMA show is so so so GOOD. It far surpasses the official music video.
    There really isn’t a top 3 because everything he made is so good. if you want to watch some really good Live performances I’d say America in Paris, Head in Detroit (his birthday show), Motherless Child from the year 1999 are all really good.
    However I’d suggest just starting with his earliest music and moving forward. One thing about Prince is he had the ability to take a song he wrote in the 1970s and update it throughout his career. His music was fluid and evolving.
    Prince sang lots of different genres too with the underlying sound of Minneapolis funk. I don’t think we will ever have another Prince. It’s honestly sad more people don’t know how great his music is.

They were both phenomenal performers and two of the top most riveting entertainers in music in the 1980s. But they had separate areas of brilliance. Separate areas of elite skills and strength. It’s not necessary to take a shot at MJ in order to sing Prince’s praises - and vice versa. At the end of the day we were all so very blessed to have BOTH of these amazing artists making music. 👑👑

    for a first song by Prince you chose well.
    he says it was a song written by Lisa and Wendy, it was actually prince that wrote it.
    and he could play pretty much every instrument.
    watch the movie purple Rain to really see his talent.

    This is from his movie, also called Purple Rain. Prince played over 50 instruments. Self taught. He wrote his music. Signed other talented people and gave them the help they needed. Think of Purple rain as being Baptiste. He was very close to God. Prince and M.J never had beef. That was media hype. When M.J passed Prince stopped rehearsal and stayed locked in his room for 2 or 3 days. He called a close friend and they were up all night talking about M.J.

    Welcome to the Prince Rabbit Hole. Guy is/was a genius. Plays 27 Instruments like a master. Plays everything from Blues, Country, Pop, Rock and Funk. I'll never forget my hand written letter from him when I wrote to Paisley Park when I was 16 with bits of promo stuff like old back stage passes, a t-shirt and a copy of his latest Album at the time Emancipation.
    He said he can get bored of playing old songs, but never tires of the Fans reaction. Great reaction. Look forward to the next one.

    MJ was a phenom, but Prince was literally a genius. He wrote, composed, sang, played all the instruments, produced, choreographed, *and* was the living embodiment of the term "sex appeal". So lucky to have grown up with him

    Hi, bro. Prince was famous here in France too, I remember that in the 90's or 80's. I was used to see his style and it didn't surprise me. Thank you for this memories. The audience is incredible 👍👍🔥🔥🔥

    He was 😢 not just only virtuoso on the freaking guitar but almost all of the instruments plus that style almost like if he can’t sing any further then he reached out for help (instrument of any kind)

    Four octave vocal range, master of all three guitars in a band (lead, bass, & rhythm), keyboards/piano, songwriter, arranger, producer. My five favs today are: When Doves Cry, She:s Always In My Hair, Head, Seven, & The extended version of Pop Life. I've been a Princehead since he released his first album For You on the Warner Brothers label.

    Prince played EVERYTHING. On his first record when he was 19, he wrote, composed, and arraigned every song. Played every instrument as well on every track.

    Here’s what it says about the songs meaning - “When there’s blood in the sky… red and blue = purple. Purple rain pertains to the end of the world and being with the one you love and letting your faith/God guide you through the purple rain,” Prince said of the song’s meaning.

    This video is a scene from the movie Purple Rain. I won’t reveal why he’s so emotional so I won’t ruin the movie. You should watch the movie. I have watched it over 100 times lol. It’s a classic.

    Also if you have never seen the 1989 Batman you should do it right now. Not only is it an awesome movie but Prince wrote and recorded the soundtrack to it. One of the best soundtracks ever!

    Great reaction, always fun to watch reactors become a believer! Prince will blow your mind every time... You must dive into his catalog, so many songs to choose from. My top 3 must see: Let's Pretend We're Married, Alphabet St, and Housequake (from his Sign o the Times concert film)!

    Prince was unbelievable. He plays over a dozen instruments. He is one of the great guitar players and song writers of all time. His catalog is extensive. One of the greatest artists of all time. Say him in concert - amazing.

    Prince is first and foremost a guitar player and one of, if not, the best to do it. Ever.
    Also, he's (was) a musical genius that could sing, write and play most instruments at the professional level.

    Btw Freddie Mercury would make his band watch the Purple Rain tour videotape over and over and over and over, there's a video that has his bandmates telling how much of a fan Freddie was of Prince. He kept studying him.
