Post-Revolution funk — no guitar in hand, just dance, horns, and command. Ryan forgot how good the dancing was (James Brown + MJ). Natalie reads kick drum and sax as the “fault” that makes the house quake. Sheila E. on drums. May not stay on YouTube — Prince’s estate has always been strict. Natalie’s mom-handed-down Purple Rain vinyl is about to get played.

Please please do more Prince! Especially LIVE!

2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee set where he did about 4-5 songs in a medley. You’ll see how tight his band was, him on the guitar, som dance moves, etc. He was fantastic on a lot of instruments, not just the guitar!

1991 Live from the Special Olympics, BABY I’M A STAR/PUSH

Prince was not in We are the World!

There was Prince and then the rest when it came to singular talent. The album this concert is supporting is eclectic and has plenty of Prince on guitar. In fact he played most of the instruments on the album. It's widely considered the last great double album of the vinyl era and the concert, which he directed, is also considered one of the greatest concert films in terms of an illustration of singular talent. It was the arguable most gifted artist in terms of overall talent of the entire rock era, at the height of his many peerless powers.

Dare you to go into the full catalog! Your music taste and life will change! I’ve seen Prince over 250x’s live this is a good example of how energetic he was on stage! MJ was great but Prince wrote produced played entertained at 100 on all phases! Go down the rabbit hole if you dare! It’s worth it!

Prince was invited to participate in the star-studded fundraiser song We Are The World (WATW). He was not comfortable with the prospect of working in an ensemble setting so he asked if he could instead record guitar in a separate sound studio. He may have made a few other suggestions for other ways he might help out on this charitable cause but there was no such flexibility extended, so Prince did not participate. He did however write and contribute an original song to the WATW fundraiser album. That song is called For The Tears In Your Eyes. (There is a video of the acoustic version of this song on YouTube that you might consider reacting to.)

You both should react to the four hit songs off of Purple Rain (well, ANY of the songs off that great album) so the lady can be exposed to some of the material on that iconic record that’s just collecting dust in her music collection. 💜

- Purple Rain
- When Doves Cry (“Extended” version if you react to the official video)
- i Would Die 4 U (live performance video)
- The Beautiful Ones
- Take Me With U
- Let’s Go Crazy

Prince wrote so much music over his lifetime It really is worth exploring his work. Artistically he was something of a chameleon so you can get a range of sounds and styles from his material. He is the kind of artist who kept audiences guessing on what would come next from him.

He's miles better than MJ

@hayesboy2481 3 weeks ago

James Brown, Jimi Hendrix and Sam Cooke rolled into one. A once in a lifetime artist. A one man band who played all the instruments bar horns. Just needed an engineer to mic up and press record.

There is no one around today that can match him. He is the one and only. Try Musicology!

Prince wrote for and collaborated with the artist Sheena Easton but the percussionist/singer in this video is Sheila E. who actually plays on Michael Jacksons 1979 hit "Dont Stop Til You Get Enough" and also has hit singles written/produced by Prince. "The Glamorous Life" being her most popular song.
