    I cant believe you have only seen one other Prince video?? Dude, you MUST see more! perhaps the most charismatic performer to grace a stage, including, yes, Elvis. Perhaps the most singularly talented rock/pop musician EVER. Played so many instruments, one of the greatest lead guitarists ever, his voice is otherworld levels, wrote amazing tunes, produced them superbly. lost too soon. Try the vids of "1999," "Cream," "My Name is Prince," "Sign O' The Times," "Let's Go Crazy."

    On the records, he played every instrument. That was his backup band, The Revolution, for live performances. Dropped Revolution and formed The New Power Generation. This was one of his earliest songs. You can see how he perfected his on-stage performance as he continued through the 80s and beyond.

    • @Crunkboy415

    I fell in love with Prince when I was 8 years old! No joke! I still have my Prince t-shirt that I wore when I was 8! I went to my first concert in 1988, because my parents said no when I was 8 😂 I seen him many, many times after. My dad even watched Purple rain on pay per view and let me watch it immediately after and told me when to close my eyes! His death was an absolute tragedy to me! To know I would never see another concert again or see his beautiful face, just broke my heart 💔 I even named my RUclips channel after his ex girlfriend 😊 I will miss you our dear Prince, until I see you in heaven 💜🕊

    The first time I saw Prince, was the first time he was on tv, I think. 1979 (?) On Midnight Special. I was a teenager. He sang I Want To Be Your Lover. He wore a leopard bikini. On his first two albums he played all the instruments, wrote all the songs. Years later I saw him twice in concert. He was an amazing guitarist, singer, entertainer.

  • @Mr-Keyes
    @Mr-Keyes Год назад +10

    Fun Fact , This song was originally written by Morris Day of The Time. Prince wanted the song and offered Morris money or a record deal , Day took the record deal, and that's how The Time was born.

    While he was producing albums in the late 70's, Prince ROARED into the charts with his Purple Rain album in 1984, and almost simultaneously released a semi-autobiographical movie of the same name (featuring music from the album). The man could play any and all instruments, and his vocals were undeniable. RIP Prince!!!

    I saw Prince on the dance floor in an occlusive dance club in West LA back in 1988. We...people on the dance floor, were dancing to Salt N Pepper..PUSH. I'll never forget being 6ft away from him. He was dancing with a women (maybe wife??) Never looked into it. But the DJ played a Prince song next and he walked off the dance floor!. Just thought I'd give you a story I have. I have more...was friends in the sound engineering business.

    I watched this particular episode being a big fan of PRINCE I never missed a LIVE performance on Television or in my city I had his 1st album on eight tracks 2nd as well *(DIRTY MIND) was my personal ☔️PURPLE RAIN long before the storm of fair weather fans CONTROVERSY WORLD TOUR, 1999 WORLD TOUR twice PURPLE RAIN, LOVESEXY 88, NUDE TOUR, MUSICOLOGY, ESSENCE FESTIVAL HEADLINER APPEARANCE ESSENCE FESTIVAL 2ND APPEARANCE. I read the RIGHT MAGAZINE regarding his very 1st INTERVIEW Cynthia Honer was the only one interviewing PRINCE ROGERS NELSON at this particular time debut album second album etc. PRINCE would call her all the time clown with her and seeking opportunity to be interviewed she stated. I like how different PRINCE was compared to EVERYBODY else in the music industry 🎶 from the very beginning 8-TRACK BEGINNINGS I knew without any doubt PRINCE ROGERS NELSON was truly genius examplfed. He was a STAR 🌟

I would not know what to recommend, what Prince songs you should react to, there are too many, 'Large Room With No Light (2020 Remaster)', 'The Ballad of Dorothy Parker', 'Anna Stesia' today come from the top of my head today... and if you want a fun live performance 'Baby I'm A Star' at the grammys!

    At this time, Prince's band didn't have a formal name, and his first 5 albums -- "For You," "Prince," "Dirty Mind," "Controversy," and "1999" -- were all credited to Prince. Bassist, Andre Cymone, would leave Prince's band after the Dirty Mind Tour and he would be replaced by Brown Mark for the Controversy Tour. Guitarist, Dez Dickerson, would remain through the 1999 Tour and he was replaced by Wendy Melvoin. Though Prince's band was still nameless during this era, the "Revolution" does appear by name on the album cover, though it was barely discernable and was written backwards. "Purple Rain" was the first album credited to Prince and The Revolution, and it would be followed by "Around the World in a Day" and "Parade."

    Todd Rundgren was also on that show his 2 videos are not on RUclips either hes quoted as saying in the The Guardian in 2013, Rundgren recalled: “My most interesting experience with Prince was on Saturday Night Live. I was wearing a slightly racy costume in which my, er, package was prominently displayed. And there were some complaints”.
    Adding: “Then Prince came on for his first national TV appearance and he wore a pair of tidy-whitey underpants and a big cape. So no matter what anyone had to say about my costume, it became all about Prince in his underwear.”

    It's funny how u laugh bc of the swearing incident. There was a time when TV was strict. Mary Tyler Moore played Dick Van Dyke's wife on his show in the 60's. She came onto stage one day with pants on & almost got fired. That was B4 women/girls wore pants. The old sit comes like this show, I Love Lucy, All in the Family & tht like .. the couples beds were always twin beds, never allowed to "sleep" together. They weren't any feminine product commercials or swearing of course. On & on. Definitely not that any more. But anyway great reactions to Prince. I like some of his music like Purple Reign or Nothing Compares 2 U. He wrote the later. Chris Cornell & Sinead O'Connor did awesome covers of the later as well. May want to check those out. Have a great evening ☮️🙂

      @@andreaschmall5560 I agree with the premise of your question. They shouldn't be compared to each other. However, the answer to why they are is that Michael thoroughly dominated the music world in 1983. Then the very next year was thoroughly dominated by Prince. So you have 2 black performers who dominate pop music in back to back years. That had never happened before, and I believe that's why they're constantly compared to each other.
