Riddler and Ali Campbell yous guys smashed it with this song I seen yous singing it with our beloved astro rip and Riddler what a tribute to the purple one as in Prince respect to you guys xx
I never meant to cause you any sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain I only wanted one time to see you laughing I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain Purple rain, purple rain I only want to see you bathing in the purple rain I never wanted to be your weekend lover I only wanted to be some kind of friend Baby, I could never steal you from another It's such a shame our friendship had to end Purple rain, purple rain I only want to see you underneath the purple rain Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing It's time we all reach out for something new That means you too You say you want a leader But you can't seem to make up your mind I think you better close it And let me guide you to the purple rain Purple rain, purple rain If you know what I'm singing about up here C'mon, raise your hand Purple rain, purple rain I only want to see you, only want to see you In the purple rain
I lived in a community that didn't take UB40 seriously because they weren't seen as a proper hard core reggae band, more of a British pop band that played reggae. I grew up listening to Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaac, Mikey Spice etc etc, but UB40 caught my attention from the day I was playing tennis & heard Ivory Madona blasting from a passing car. Been a big fan ever since and I can say without a shadow, they deserve a place in the reggae pantheon. Ali is not a Dennis Brown or Mikey Spice(my top 2 reggae vocalists ever), as those vocalists are on another level, but his voice is great!!!
Hello Ali We've known this song for a long time, but the way you sing it so well and with so much feeling is absolutely phenomenal. I've loved your music for as long as I can remember... I have every CD from the beginning, I have countless newspaper cuttings, although I'm from Germany, I bought some of it through classified adverts like Ebay. All the collecting paraphernalia and so on. The only thing I'm missing is an Ali, i.e. you to put up...😊 You have a beautiful voice with an incredible recognition value. You have so much feeling in your voice that it's so beautiful... In Big Love my Ali❤️💛💚
It's all in the shape and form of Ali's mouth,gum and jaw that gives him that distinctive unique voice everytime he sings.Not many people have that special jaw,but Ali's got it and he's one of a kind.
MR Ali his voice is the best in reggea for sure and one of the best ones in the bizz, in means that no one sounds like him. he has his own unique sound! This verson of purple rain is awesome and his voice is way awesome, Lovin it :),

You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain

When he was younger he looks the same as my dad it’s freaky
Pretty soulless
Love this version of Purple Rain.
