HAPPY 40th 1999!
Prince was definitely the main 82. It was a year of epics such as “Automatic”, great pop songs like “Raspberry Beret”, and soulful tunes like “How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore?” Had he quit after Controversy from the year before, he might’ve been forgotten. However, he’d put in enough hours by the time he was 23 to produce a masterpiece with almost unconscious ease.
between disco and MTV, it was hard to be noticed as a young, black phenom. Prince was out there telling stories about his race and cultivating a guitar-god appeal to the rock kids on the other side of the radio dial.
1999 is the sound of Prince deciding not to give a @&#. Dez Dickerson of the newly formed Revolution played insane guitars. Meanwhile Prince still wrote great pop songs. 1999 is one of the most uncompromising records ever made by a star who could be considered new.
1999 finds room for monologues, dialogues, codas, solos, sound-effects orgies, and long segments where an instrument will just build by itself. What makes “Let’s Pretend We’re Married” sound like the marathon sex it describes isn’t its perfectly deployed F-bombs (the word sounds genuinely transgressive in Prince’s mouth), but its Linn LM-1 patter. The Linn is the instrument Prince masters on 1999 in lieu of guitar, and the legions of Chicago house producers who bought their own after its release found replicating Prince’s programming as daunting saving up the money for one. With each passing second, we drift further away from the light into the record’s guts.
Morris Day, a friend and early band member/cameraman in the band called Grand Central and later Champagne, remained close. Day co wrote Partyup for Prince’s Dirty Mind album while Day was in another band, the funk group Enterprise. Prince soon asked Day to be lead singer of his side-project The Time.
This concert, the fabled 1999/Triple Threat tour which was a breakout for them as well as another Prince project Vanity 6. - Видеоклипы
This was next level shit from start 2 Finish!!
For those who wasn't old enough to be around when this album first dropped in 1982, I feel sorry for you. This album changed the game. It was something nobody ever heard before. I was a fan before this but when this came out it was over.
I was 9
And he had a huge impact
I was barely 4, I remember when Purple rain dropped, I was wearing some pajamas.
As a kid I thought music was incredible, we had such great artists it was incredible times, Prince was one of the greatest.
I was ten, and it made a Fan 4 life.
this was prince at his most creative as far as quantity of quality...he was banging on all cylinders spinning out hits for himself, other bands that he had under his wing, and other artists....my absolute favorite era ...
he was bangin on all cylinders all the way to 2016....4realz

1999 is the Album that truly defined The Minneapolis Sound, and Prince as an Artist. His vision on This Album opened the door for what was to come, Music dominance. 🔥🎵
BOOM BOOM BAM 💥👏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥FIRE POWER 🎶💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🎶🎶🎶
💜💜💜💜🌈☀️❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜
This was the perfect landing for his creativity. If you go from For You to 1999, that's an insane journey. Of course Purple Rain was the biggest reveal but 1999 was a sonic statement
Something in the Water (Does Not Compute) is one of Prince's most AMBITIOUS songs from the GROUNDBREAKING 1999. So glad 1999 would be my high school senior year! I even have the 1999 re recordings from '99! 😉
I love the screams in it
Omg great paragraph one of my top 20 songs ever from prince
I didn't like it initially but now it's one of my biggest favorites! That song, DMSR and Let's Pretend... The best ones on 1999
Twenty-four years old and his creativity was at full throttle, what an amazing ascent. The "1999" album was his first great work in my opinion. Sinnik22, you are the best!!!
Brown Mark is such a nice personable guy. He is still playing his bass, he's one funky bassist.
Jesse Johnson was underrated on the led guitar🎸 he was one of the first superstar on TV 📺wearing pink that I seen Jesse Johnson made it look smooth and cool 💯
yeah butttttt ...jesse was a jealous dude because he knew deep down prince was better.
This is the stuff I’ve wanted to know for over 40 years! How did Prince come up with a lot of his songs and music! I could watch this all day long for days on every album!!!💜💜💜
Enjoy! This is your daily deep dive.
1982 was a special explosion of fantastic music. As a young teen I met the most musicians and artists I've ever seen in my life in one place. Music was all around me. Then there was Prince and 1999. Just Wow!!🎵💜
Who did you meet?
I fell in love with Prince with Little Red Corvette and the AMAZING 1999 album!! I look at the amazing album cover every day! I’m battling an illness. I feel connected to Prince in a spiritual way! God bless you dear Prince! Please watch over me from heaven! 🙏❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜🌈☀️
RIP Prince, Vanity and Casey Kasem 🙏

Hang on and enjoy the ride ! Purple Rain and 1999 are my two favorites . Prince was at the top of his game and bigger than life .

I actually liked 1999 better than purple rain! ☔️
I remember seeing Prince for the first time on the 1999 music video and it blew my mind…I was hooked from that day.
💜💜! Couldn't Sleep! Up at 2 a.m watching this! Love this Channel! Thanks!
I loved this album. 💜💜💜

Prince song Automatic that's one of my favorite songs and my favorite track of the 1999 album that song🎤🎶 go hard to this day the whole production wise the whole concept along with the music video 📽️🎥🎞️🎬🎭🎫🎟️ is a beast/fire🔥
Beyond fantastic! As usual!
Excellent as always! Thank You for celebrating 40 years of 1999.
Fantastic period right? The whole purple gang carried an innocence you could see in the videos, performances, & promo material. Right?
@@Sinnik22 You are right and so are ALL your episodes which are getting better and better. Other platforms I watch or listen to echo the same thing.
@@stephaniemeals4983 seriously????
Vanity was so gorgeous 😍💖🌸💐
People that didn't live through this time will never understand the impact that it had on all of us. I wore my cassette tape out. LoL
The impact of the 80s was deep! We had Michael and Madonna and Tears 4 Fears and the Police .....but Prince was on a whole utha leval....(purposely mispelled)
What I love about Prince. He not only worked his butt off to become auspicious. He brought certain people in the public up to levels which fit their lives at the time. He understood what would work with them for the public. The examples are The Time and Vanity. I wished he pushed The Vanity 6 project more over seas. But, he had to have his girlfriend around him. Because Prince really evolved around the 1999 era. It's my favorite time 1982 , 83 Prince. Because, I was coming into my own as a teenager as well. Discovering Prince in 1981 was the bomb. His music changed my way of thinking. I was the Outlier in my household. He was the soundtrack of that era for me. It was therapy his lyrics in "Free", was integral for teenagers like me. I got the encouragement to get involved the music business, because of Artists like Prince and Michael Jackson. Great time to be around on Planet Earth. I was fortunate. 1999 was groundbreaking in that sense. So I was ready for "Purple Rain" before a lot of the world.Thanks again for this innovative documentary style. It motivates me to continue making my INFO videos as well.
Awesome to hear that. Continue enjoying the ride and holding to that memory.
Yo my story is very much the same except I had to see the movie 3 times to believe i saw what i saw. It was totally addictive and me and the fellas were completely hooked....The Prince rabbit hole existed in the 80s. For those who know. Even in the 90s i never stopped listening to the GOAT. Somebodys somebody....come....the love we make...yo he was always LIT and humble ....4 a genius:)
Your docu's are the best! Thank you for all that you do to keep HIS legacy alive.
This album made me a Prince-lover 4 life
Thank you, loved this one a lot
I don’t blame Jam, and Lewis. They became excellent Producers, and great Musicians!
This album made me the Prince fan I am. I remember being in record den. I had heard 1999 but did not really know who it was. I was familiar with Prince as my sister was a fan. I'm like 14-15 and in the record store going thru bins looking at albums. Then all of a sudden I hear the beginning of DMSR. That horn keyoard. Then came that funkybass. Then came the scream followed by everything else adding the rhythm guitar. I had never heard anything like that and immediatly went to the counter and said "Who's that". The workers said "Prince". I said "Prince". They said yes "Prince". Then I said "I Wanna Be Your Lover Prince".?' They said yeah. I said. I need that right now. From that moment on I out Prince fanned my sister. Then I discovered he produced the Time and Vanity 6 and got those albums too. That Christmas I decorated the house to the 1999 album. To this day that is my musical favorite as there will never be another that can do what he did. That man lived his purpose indeed. Luckily I got into two sound checks in the ATL back in 2002 cause I was a member of he website. I got the opportunity to sing back up on Paisley Park and the 2nd day man he sat in the audience a few rows back from everyone and allowed us all to say something to him. I forgot what I said, but what I do remember is when it was over he magically appeared less than 10 feet away from me and I didn't notice till the friend I was with nudged me. So at that point I'm looking him over cause I thought the tv made him look perferct so I was in aw that he really looked like that. I have been around other stars but with them they were normal. I couldn't get over that he looked that perfect. There wasn't a blemish on his face or hair out of place, But me being who I am. I'm like nobody looks like they do on tv so I'm really looking hard to find some inperfection and as I am doing that my eyes met his and he had this silly smirk on his face. My mouth was wide open when I realized he saw me. I was thinking you really look like that? To me the smirk was that he gets that a lot. I felt like it was cause he knew what I was thinking and I thought that as well. Then he smiled and walked out. Later that day when he started the show He began inviting people on stage and pointed right at me and had the nerve to put out his hand to pull me up. I mouth this is your show. I am here to see you. In retrospect I wish I had gone up and grabbed his had but I had no idea Prince was so down to earth and cool like that. The night before when I sung back up I did not leave the stage like everyone else, and he did not know until I spoke into the mic. See he told us to go back to our seats but I was not done yet, I wanted him to play another of my favorite songs and I wanted to do back up. That song is Let's Work. When I asked him to play it he said something I could not hear and the others in the audience laughed. I knew it was something he said about me so I was embarrassed. So I ran and jumped off the stage and took my seat and asked the friend I was with that day what he said. He said I'm not Ed MacMahon I don't make stars. So that's probably why I did not go up. Sorry for the long post just wanted to share.
Big Chick said something. Lonesome. The work they did was a real sacrifice. I've toured with an ensemble. After the event. You go back to your Hotel with a lot of adrenaline. That's why I believe Prince kept working into the night. Recording and doing these pop up shows he would do. Because, after the show you wanted to bring it down a bit.
LONESOME... 💔
@@danavixen6274 yes Queen. It's get Lonesome. I could imagine coming home. You are not married. You are putting bread on people's plates. The pressure of that alone must've been rough for Prince. But, he kept it going till the end. He was in a position to trust the Tapestry of God's Work for him.
@@garfieldharrison510 Amen 🙏🏾
I was there. 😢 My friends and I knew who Prince was and were already fans. We were there to see the Stones but Prince was a real bonus...and we were astonished, disappointed, disgusted with the 🤬🤬s in the crowd that ruined everything.
WoW. Still a great memory?
Prince was on a mission. 🎉💜🎉🎶
I was 14-15 yrs old when Prince mania started , 1999 album was the game changer. The movement was fascinating
Mesmerizing even
You putting out this 🔥just in time
That’s facts. October 27th 1982 prince dropped this diamond.
Great video on my favorite Prince album.
I have the huge color concert booklet for the 1999 concert tour. It was awesome. Oh wait, that was purple rain💜
I was walking down the street and just saw this record old school so I went in my eyes lit up got 1999 on vinyl so I had to get it jamie
Wow, wanted even more! 😁Thanks a lot. ❤🙏
I really enjoyed this, it brought back so many memories because I was there from the beginning to the end.😢😭 I really miss Prince and I've been blessed to have seen Prince in concert on all of his tours except Third Eye Girl And Piano And A Microphone. 🙏 💜 I'm the niece of George Clinton and Prince and my uncle were friends and often collaborated. Please make a video about their friendship. This is my first time watching your video and I'm a new subscriber. You did an awesome job and I have a lot of catching up to do. 💜💜💜💜👏👏👏👏😘🙏💜
It’s amazing to hear this. Thanks for checking out the channel. Hope you will stay. ✌️☺️
@@Sinnik22 I'm getting ready to watch your next video, I love it even though I'm in tears for so many reasons. Prince is gone and my mother passed in August 2022 so watching this makes me think about my mother and reminisce about how much she knew I loved Prince. She supported me since the age of fifteen years old and she also loved Prince! Prince was friends with my mother's brother uncle George so he felt like family! 💜 I miss both of them so much!🙏 😢😭 I almost met Prince until everything went wrong. I've only shared it with a few people, but I'll cherish the memories. 🙏💜💜
@@PoeticLadychelleMusicAndMe I hope you feel a ton better and the tears dry up completely. My grandmother passed in July so I feel u. I just try to feel her presence cuz she put so much into us. I choose to believe she exists because she does as long as we keep her.
@@Sinnik22 I'm so sorry for your loss as well. Thanks for your advice, I know my mother wouldn't want me to be sad so I'll hold on to the memories. Praying for you and your family! 🙏💜
Y'all with that editing magic again...
3. It’s a magic number 🎶
@@Sinnik22 yes it is, it's a magic number. Great song in the key of E Major...

Thank you! Sending hugs and gratitude to my friend Sinnik22! ❤️❤️
This was 🔥 Very well put together.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This was a great era of Prince's career. My favorite. The 1999 album is my second favorite behind Sign O The Times
This is arguably Prince at his most creative, between this and UTCM/SOTT for me. I was born in the 90s so I didn't get to experience peak-level Prince, but this was probably my favorite era of his, from the music to the showmanship.
THIS IS.. SO GREAT!.... 🌂 🎵 LOVE these stories and tidbits!....
Fantastic. Glad you enjoyed.
A SMART OUT OF THIS WORLD MIND-BLOWING MAN THE WORLD WAS CHANGING AND HE WAS A MAIN CHARACTER WITH THE CHANGE 💜🎶🎶🎶 THROUGH HIS MUSIC 🎶🎶🎶
AWW-WWWSOME💜👏🏽💜💜💜💜💜💜
Best one in the series by FAR. I was there in 1983 for the Triple Threat Tour in Washington DC at the Stadium Armory; 12/13 years old. One of the best memories of my life. This video was EVERYTHING. I would have given a leg back then to know all of this backstage drama! 😆❤️
Amazing piece!! 💜
I remember when this album was released in 1982, I listened to it every day for 1 year straight. I just couldn't believe that 1 man could play all of the instruments, write all of the songs, and do all of the vocals himself. I mean, this is the album that made me a big time Prince fan! Prince is one of a kind!
I think he helped produce it too - just a legend !
This footage is amazing 🤯. Thank you
Real1 👆
Yo Sinnik as an OLD SCHOOL PRINCE fan, LOVE U! Working on an idea that might help take your vids to the next level!!!
Always looking to level up ☝️😉

U are a PRINCE EDITING GENIUS!!
I’m 53yrs old , I remember like it was yesterday,SIP my Purple Dove 🕊️ 😢😢😢😢
Love your channel ! I'm a gigantic prince fan! Love him dearly and miss him even more!
I was unaware of his music.

Sinnik you’re a genius thank you 👏🏾 🏆
I was eighteen years old
back in 1982.
I was 9 years old when 1999 was released. But I had no idea who or what Prince was until after watching the 1999 and Little Red Corvette videos. Prior 2 watching those videos, I was mostly a casual music fan. There were certain artist I really liked such as Michael Jackson and the Jackson's, Diana Ross, The Osmonds, etc. But prior to 1999, I'd only heard rumors and stories about Prince being freaky and nasty. I don't even remember hearing any songs from Prince's first 4 albums. I grew up in a church going Christian household and my mom never played mainstream secular music around the house except the gospel music or later in the 80's Luther Vandross. Until the late 1980's I didn't even listen 2 the radio much. Most of the music I'd get at home was music videos like NBC'S Friday Night Videos or a couple of the local Chicago tv stations playing music videos daily. We didn't get cable tv until 1987. And even when we got that, I still didn't get to watch MTV. After Michael Jackson's Thriller came out and the Billy Jean, Beat It and Thriller videos came out, it was like the music flood gates opened wide 4 me personally keeping up with new music from a wide variety of artist and bands. I was opened up to obviously Prince, Duran Duran, Wham!, Culture Club Def Leppard, Madonna Cyndi Lauper, Pat Benatar, Billy Idol, Def Leppard, Van Halen, ZZ Top, Twisted Sister, Huey Lewis and the News, Phil Collins, Hall and Oates, Tina Turner and many more. But back 2 Prince, I was blown away after experiencing the 1999 and Little Red Corvette videos. I thought at the time that he was exciting, sexy and explosive. He was like Michael Jackson in certain ways but also much different in others. And who knew of the Purple Rain onslaught that was 2 come in a year and a half or so.
Prince helped build the 80’s
I remember that album 1999 Fucking 💜 it
Great Video!
"If the sky has blood in it, blue and red make purple" -- holy shit man.
Thing is best Prince youtube channel hands down.
Thank you. Much appreciated.

R.I.P Dude 💜👈🙏💯
Pics!
@@Sinnik22 I wish😂
This album came out a full decade before i was born, but that didn't stop from Prince becoming my favorite artist. That only happened in 2006 though because i never heard of him prior. I heard some of his songs like I Wanna Be Your Lover, Little Red Corvette and Diamonds & Pearls were all familiar but i didn't know who the singer was. Unlike MJ and Madonna, Prince was nowhere to be seen in late 90s/early 00s, when i was getting into music. Only with the internet i found him, and even that was only a while before all his music got taken off of RUclips. But by then i had already bought most of his albums.
Wish I could see Vanity on roller skates!
I was in the clouds on molly the night the clock rang 2000. Good times
sailing
Just in time while I have my 🥃😶🌫️
Cheers!
I am 9 months older then Prince’s Graffiti Bridge movie. It released November 2, 1990. I was Born February 3rd of that year… fascinating to me.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Guys...
I was 7 and totally blown away by it!!! I liked it better than Thriller!! 1999 was it for me. His best album ever
This is Sinnik22’s Michael Jackson channel this is THE THRILLER EFFECT ruclips.net/video/ZWAnLXPk2_0/видео.htmlsi=uIbtTFVgs5tRUrKX
To this day it's the one album that all true fans play the most. 1999 will outlive PR. More good songs. More important songs. This album didn't need a movie & it blew him up. 1999 was why & how he got a movie for PR. #BOSS
It was his magnum opus an exhaustive look at his sound. The cuts were stretched out. Every track was an audio workout. Like Prince was saying…”here I am ya’ll, check me out”.
@@Sinnik22 Right, this is really where his superstardom started. Had my grandmother(rip) even talking about it.
And it’s better than purple rain!!
I never liked or understood the song 1999 until I was looking at a documentary one day and a guy said "Prince had been trying for a few years to have a really big Pop records, and one day he played me this song and told me that he think he'd gotten it" From then on, I understood ever thing I needed to about the record.
I appreciate the opening music sound but I'm so glad he didn't stay in that synthesizer stereotypical Minneapolis sound I'm so happy that he expanded and grew as an artist and played every genre that's what makes him irreplaceable.
Happy 40th! 🎉
🥳
SINNIK THIS IS GOOD 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 THE BEST 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I appreciate you. Thanks.

at the time.
Wow Breakfast Club and 2 solid gold appareances 🤯
Why solid gold? Not American Bandstand not Soul Train?
@@Sinnik22 I love them all but solid gold isn’t as much of an institution so kind of a rare gem

MORE ABOUT HIS BALANCED FOCUS👏🏽
YIS
Love to get your thoughts when you’re done 🤘🏼🤓
@@Sinnik22 🙏The editing alone must take forever, not to mention research. Don't know how you manage to produce so quickly. This episode touched on something I always felt deserved more attention. Prince would inspire other artists, in the true sense of the word, but few of them would handle that without ego issues. They would start getting big headed. Prince would try to keep them grounded, but they saw it as controlling. Morris Day's book says a lot about this. People getting greedy or hooked on cocaine and Prince's attempts to damage control were interpreted as him feeling threatened or micromanaging but I see it as him taking responsibility on a level that few people could appreciate. He rarely explained himself directly or publicised his good deeds and that makes these kind of documentaries invaluable in understanding the big picture. It occurs to me we might see a resurgence in Prince popularity in the future and these videos will be discovered by a lot of new and young people. Thanks for all the effort! Oh, I keep thinking that along with the names it would be great to have little still images of the people speaking, to keep track of all the characters. Maybe hand drawn caricatures if someone could do it. I also appreciate that you revise old episodes, I watch everything.
You right…..all the music he played be4 1999 was in 1999 the whole album
