This was so freaking fire when it was released, Prince was a genius, you never know what he gonna do next, we all agreed Prince was a genius to create hit after hit ,and masterpiece after masterpiece with every album, and evolve his sound, looks and presentation.
This is one of my favorite songs. I was dancing to this as a kid when it came out. I was dancing to this in private when I grew up. I am still dancing to this, when no one can see or hear me. ;)
Prince was always a provocateur...serving up looks we'd never seen before (especially on a man!) and sounds like we'd never heard. Kiss, I think, dialed that all the way up in the most amazingly perfect way. The Dynasty line, along with "act your age not your shoe size" entered the vernacular as the ultimate one liner put downs.
Please go down that Prince rabbit hole!! As knowledgeable as you are about music, you will enjoy discovering this musical genius. Gone way too soon. R.I.P. Prince. Keep up the great job!
That was Wendy on the guitar and hell yes she is actually playing that thing. Wendy is his main guitar player and helped co-compose the music for Purple Rain and Computer Blues.
I was at Disneyland when this Prince video just barely premiered on MTV. I put a quarter in a video jukebox. It was a gigantic jumbo screen in the middle of the arcade. The entire arcade at Disneyland stopped to watch this video!!😯Talk about precious memories💯
Ahhh!!! No matter what kind of music I was into growing up, Prince was always The Man. I didn't even bother learning how to dance until I heard "Baby I'm A Star." It was the first time I can remember hearing joy expressed as a song. But for me it was a very specific joy - the joy of not giving a F*ck. Artists can really change you with their music. And yes, Miss Wendy Melvoin was really playing guitar. Prince had not one but TWO women in his band (including Lisa Coleman) because he was that f-ing cool. Thanks for bringing back some good memories for me!
I love that you know Dynasty. - Really didn't expect that. That is why I am subscribing. - Not because I liked that show (I didn't) but because you surprised me. :)
Was her playing ,his band was called the 'revolution' was a mix of men, women, black white, different styles, back when it wasntbl cool. It's what he wanted. A 'revolution ' he hated the industry that he signed to as a young shy artist. He rately did ant unterviews but as he got older he spoke out. Now we all know if course. But he was 1 of the first to say it xxx
A classic! The video is so simple yet fun. That's Wendy Melvoin on guitar. Don't know if she played on the actual song but she can def play. Wendy & Lisa (her band after the Revolution) have some great tracks.
On the albums notes it often says written, composed arranged and produced by Prince except where indicated or something like that. So definitely him playing guitar. However, his bands were always full of great musicians! And he made them practise and practise! They were always on point!
I just hope people really take into account, that even when Prince was "provocative" or sexually free, he was never demeaning women, listen to the lyrics of all his sexually charged songs. The women in his music, are always in control or he always has subliminal kind messages. Like "you don't have to be rich, to be my girl" or "you don't have to be beautiful to turn me out" to day in my generation, today artists sing, "but i don't get with broke b**hes" Prince' sexuality was so unique, he was never toxic with his words or messaging in love songs. At the same time he wasn't afraid of his masculinity either. So important to differentiate his sexuality from artists like Madonna, or some artists today
I love this about him. Women always have power and agency in their sexuality. Little Red Corvette, Raspberry Beret, Darling Nikki. And he always had women musicians (yes, Empress, that was Wendy of the Revolution playing guitar in the video, and she plays).
This song is so damn tight it’s about ready to explode! 💥🎸That funky riff and his agile falsetto winding us up to a frenzy. Prince was a musical genius (or IS a genius, as we can still experience so much of him through his work). I once heard this song first thing in the morning on the radio as I was just waking up and had the thought that the music is so meticulous and tight that it turns the silence between the notes into its own rhythm. Just a crazily well formed song. And we LOVED your reaction to the Dynasty line. And you’d already said it was your fav Prince song so far… The Dynasty moment must’ve pushed it way over the edge🏆 Here’s a story you might enjoy as a window into the early 80s… My earliest memory of Prince was when I entered a mail in competition from a magazine to win one of the albums that was big in the charts. I was only a little kid but I already loved music, very influenced by my musician father’s adoration of the art form. The magazine promo offered a choice between 3 albums… Michael Jackson - Thriller, Culture Club - Kissing To Be Clever and Prince - Purple Rain. I went to my room and thought hard about my choice. I’d heard and seen all the artists on radio and TV, and they all had a different impact on my baby mind. I liked Culture Club’s music but I was sadly already aware that liking Boy George would mark me for homophobic ridicule. I was kinda scared of Prince because he was so overtly sexual. People called him gay out of ignorance but it never stuck because he was just so assertively sexy and obviously almost frighteningly talented as a singer and composer. I loved MJ already and he was a much safer choice for a kid to make (perhaps ironically), so when I won one of the giveaway copies of Thriller it became the first album I ever owned! That began my formative obsession with Michael Jackson, but I never forgot the more grownup mysterious power of Prince. This level of talent is such a gift to the world.
Great reaction.....Can't go wrong with "Kiss" which is one of Prince's biggest commercial hits. In terms of who's playing guitar it's the man himself. But the great Wendy (of the Revolution) killed it live onstage as well.
Man, Prince was so ahead of his time with the androgynous look and such. This is a pretty damn good song. Did you know Tom Jones did a cover of it? (not bad actually but definitely more suited to his style)
This song has always been on the top of my Prince faves...and the video does not disappoint! I heard KISS a few months ago and I thought Empress is going to be VERY INTO that Dynasty shoutout if she ever reacts to this song! 🤣
One of My Favorite Prince Songs. It's so Eloquently Spoken. "Ya don't have to be Rich,.. to be My Girl, You don't have to be Cool,.. to Rule My World.. Ain't no particular Sign I'm more Compatible with,.. I just want Your extra time and Your... KISS!! " 🎶
His cousin and former bandmate, Andre Cymone, played/did production for/dated Jody Watley. Check her deep cuts "Some Kind Of Lover" and "Still A Thrill" if you haven't already. He had just made/was making "Under The Cherry Moon" with this look. But Prince is playing all instruments, doing all vocals here. The band members were for touring and some songs on particular albums. Not this song though.
I was looking for this kind of response.. Prince lived with Andre Cymone when he was younger. They were in a band since high school, Grand Central and Andre started playing bass with Prince leaving after the Dirty Mind album. You can see Andre with Prince in the Dirty Mind video. People say they were pretty similar in some of their music. Andre actually married (and divorced) and has a son with Jody Watley. So you might have just picked up on something that many of us didn't know!
When I was kid my Mother bought me one of those red Michael Jackson jackets for Xmas I cried for days till my father bought me a leather jacket and a tuxedo shirt like Prince. He had to tell my Mother that I was a Prince and Janet fan not a Michael and Madonna fan like she was!! Miss my Father he's always knew me best!!
Tom Jones had a big hit with his remake of this. It was great! Yep his guitar players were female. I think they were Wendy and Lisa....correct me if I'm wrong.
This was the lead single of the ''Parade''. With ''When Does Cry'', this is his biggest single worldwide and one of his most iconic single. A another US n.1 single in debut 1986. For myself, not so fan myself of this song.

Prince always brought something new.

An Empress and a Prince, a great match for a Dynasty! See what I did there haha 😊
🤣love it
Yes that her playing the guitar
He won't trust anyone else period.
This is one of my favorite songs. I was dancing to this as a kid when it came out. I was dancing to this in private when I grew up. I am still dancing to this, when no one can see or hear me. ;)
😂 love it
he actually played the piano all day..guitar was a playground for him

❤it ‼‼‼
CLASSIC ‼️From "You don't have to be beautiful to turn me on" this song is🔥🔥. He did everything in 👠👠 even playing basketball. Dynasty 💯
The biggest man in the room...no matter where he went 🕊
Oww, wee !!! You have bought out some of that great treasure. Its so NASTY.
You owe it to yourself to listen to the Extended 12" mix of this song. This is a very prolific period of Prince's musical output. Genius.
Noted ✅
Empress, Alan is not kidding. That 12" mix is the best. It's just a jam.
Please go down that Prince rabbit hole!! As knowledgeable as you are about music, you will enjoy discovering this musical genius. Gone way too soon. R.I.P. Prince. Keep up the great job!
Thank u‼
Prince in my top 3 of ALL Time!! Soooo much talent!!😍. R.I.P. Prince 💜🙌🏻💜
One of my fav Prince songs! He was such a musical genius and fascinating performer.
🔥🔥🔥
And - yes - Wendy is playing the guitar for real.
Shoutout to Wendy‼💯
@@EmpressReacts when he sings, let's go Wendy's parade. she is part of his band,
The Revolution
@@THEPATRIOT1000 oh that's what he's saying 🤣
@@EmpressReacts if you see The Prince video, Raspberry Beret, you will see her playing
Prince was on another level
That was Wendy on the guitar and hell yes she is actually playing that thing. Wendy is his main guitar player and helped co-compose the music for Purple Rain and Computer Blues.
🔥🔥
Only Prince could wear that.
🤣💯

Ok come on DYNA$TY yaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssss 😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍
R.I.P PRINCE 🕊
Prince could play any instrument. To see his skills, check out "While my guitar gently weeps" or " play that funky music".
SAME Its the dynasty shout out LOL
Aye😍

Oh wow, cool‼
We posted at the same time. I wish a Prince or guitar "scholar" would enlighten us. Hers and Prince's style must be recognizable.
She did not play guitar on the song .But she did play it in concert
On the albums notes it often says written, composed arranged and produced by Prince except where indicated or something like that.
So definitely him playing guitar. However, his bands were always full of great musicians! And he made them practise and practise! They were always on point!
Yes she was planning to guitar. That's Wendy from his band the revolution

He was sexy, playful and inviting.

Prince had men Questioning there Sexuality 😂 What artist can do that 🤔
‘Kiss’ is my favorite Prince song as well Empress. 💯 so funkeeee …. I fuk with ‘Let’s Go Crazy’ too tho. 🤣 🎶
🔥🔥🔥 I need to hear that
BIG CLASSIC / LEGENDARY / BIG RESPECT / OLD SCHOOL REPRESENT / 80'S 90'S FLAVA / F*CK NEW SKOOL & KISS ...

Watch little red Corvette.
Love Prince, love love love this song and your reaction.
Thank u‼

Wow, I can't believe it...gotta hear it
I love Tom Jones's version!! Such a talented gentleman!!! A legend.
MJ has nothing on Prince he is simply the FUNK
Idk about all that🤣❤

You should check out PRINCE's Mountains and Boys & Girls music videos that are from PARADE the same album as the Kiss video.
✅noted
@@EmpressReacts you need another lover like you a hole in head in on the album to it has vi
Actually no baseline in this song. Thats y its so unique
You should check out the video for Automatic!!!!
Will do✅
That’s Wendy on guitar…. She’s legit
Okay shoutout wendy
Lisa & Wendy.

See, the 80s didn't completely suck. :)
Was a Prince fan way before this track. You need to dig deeper into Prince’s catalog. Check out “Controversy”, “ International Lover”, or “17 days”.
If you want to check out some of his earlier work, try Controversy or Sexuality from his 1981 album Controversy. Great reaction btw!
✅noted thanks
I remember the song and how different it sounded to other songs in the radio. What year was it released? 91 to 92?
1986
If you are interested then maybe try , Massive Attack., 'Teardrop' or 'Protection' or well most of them.
Thanks‼
💜💜💜💜💜
You're gorgeous and I love your voice
wow thank u!
Empress now please put that tongue away you’re making people feel a certain way 💋 😋 great reaction as always
🤭
Tom Jones had a big hit with his remake of this. It was great! Yep his guitar players were female. I think they were Wendy and Lisa....correct me if I'm wrong.
Wow can't believe Tom Jones covered this‼🤯
Me again…. Empress, you’d love “Scandalous” by Prince from the Batman soundtrack. It is stunning. I lip sync to it at parties. 💙
Oooo can't wait to hear
This was the lead single of the ''Parade''. With ''When Does Cry'', this is his biggest single worldwide and one of his most iconic single. A another US n.1 single in debut 1986. For myself, not so fan myself of this song.
Interesting! What don't you like about the song?
@@EmpressReacts It's his voice irriting so much during the song, too much irriting to appreciate the song himself.
@@WCD199317 😂😂
React to the Tom Jones music video of this song: "Kiss".
Check out the old skool version.. ruclips.net/video/5uZQFOfMSfY/видео.html by Tom Jones!
Great reaction as usual.
Wouldn't be a Prince song if he doesn't scream at least once.....
Tom Jones did this song
Do you have any other social media we can follow you on like Instagram.
Yes‼ iG: @pressure.and.empress
