Prince was the most talented musician ever, and anyone who says otherwise is clueless. Fact is he had no weaknesses musically, outworked, outclassed and outperformed the rest with ease. 2nd best is not even in the arena, no one felt cheated leaving a Prince show, matter of fact his shows were life changing. Rest easy lil man, thanks for letting me ride.
Yes, perfectly stated. Prince was all you said and more... and seeing him live only confirmed and cemented his genius!! We will not see his equal in our lifetimes.
This guy was just a freaking super-human genius. It's kind of eerie, just to watch. Even in the video, he looked super-human. It's like he came here to do music and once he finished his job, he left. It is hard to believe he's gone. SMH
He did what he came to do and he did leave. When you think about it a bit longer, and you see the age in his face during the piano concert, him knowing it was catching up, he left on a good note and a mystery.....two things that were definitely Prince! He is still with us in spirit...
All I care to listen to for the rest of my life is real music. Im 28 and cant listen to non of the crap thats out right now. Im all Prince and my friends just dont get it, they cant feel this in their bones. His lyrics are straight from the heart, raw and authentic. Only the real ones get me... where the real ones at!?
I'm also 28 (I know this comment is a few years old now), but I 1000% agree lol pop artists today are babies compared to Prince's level of musicianship, really at any point in his career. You can go back to For You, and the level of musicianship there is miles above what people are putting out today. It's embarrassing, honestly.
In addition to Prince, simply being cool AF, with all that swagger. It was Prince's guitar solos, and the way he makes it sing, which really made me really appreciate other blues guitarists, metal and rock bands. He still reigns as my favorite of all time though.
The Last True Black Old School Rock Star: he was true to EVERY facet of the game. He ALWAYS dressed like a star, and expected everyone to put in the work learning the material and rehearsing their asses off. Props.
Jazmyne P. 3121 was my first Prince album. Never forget watching BETs top 20 countdown and seeing Black Sweat for the first time. It was so different and refreshing compared to the horrible music back in 2007
I feel the same way. I have been watching him daily for about a month straight now on here and my family thinks I need therapy. Prince is all the therapy I need! I find new music every day and always impressed by him. RIP Prince
I remember back in 2008 as a 17 year old I really loved this song, but couldn’t find it on TH-cam as Prince wouldn’t allow it so had no option other than buying the whole 3121 album as (couldn’t even find it from file share sites). Till date its the only full album I purchased with my own money and its only down to Prince’s marketing strictness. Not only was prince the most talented he was also a man who didn’t tolerate sh!t.
I remember that! I searched up this song on the internet back then and this music video was not available to watch in the United States! Time flies for sure!
Prince got the fire red suite with killer guitar tone, and the beautiful ladies shaking that back while singing. This is what makes Prince an awesome artist he understood the importance of the visuals as much as the sound.
Excellent. On point observation. I think the way He managed His image unnerves me. When He did a photo shoot, what was the ratio of all the prints made? Did He manage ALL of their appearances?? Jeez...
@@callmemonkh9020 yeah I know. I thought of it myself because I don’t make decisions based on what my race, gender, or peer group forces me to think🙋🏻♂️
Prince mischievously sticking his tongue out at the end of the song. 😆😂 And I can picture him doing that too. It’s so him. Naughty naughty Prince. Cute.
“3121” was one of his best eras! He was on FIRE!!!! You had the album, The Vegas Residency “Per4ming LIVE” at Rio Hotel & Casino, and to top it all off the greatest Super Bowl Halftime Show of ALL TIME!!!! He was at his very best during the “3121”/ “Planet Earth” eras, and the 2007 “Earth Tour” was incredible too at the o2 Arena! I just love the suped-up rock fusion arrangements of “If I Was Your Girlfriend,” “Anotherloverholenyohead” and “Pink Cashmere” from this era! He was on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
mediacenter man I said it was ONE of his greatest eras. Definitely not his greatest because that would be his “Lovesexy” era of 1988-89. Best album, concept, tour, staging and outfits. “Lovesexy” just has the best, best BEST! And nothing can compare.
J Crash I agree with everything you said except the “shitty albums” part, lol. There is no such thing as a shitty album when it comes to this man. What albums did you consider shitty? They were all creative masterpieces in their own way.
J Crash Oh my god, are you serious right now? That is TOTALLY wrong, you literally just listed probably the most creative albums ever recorded. “Lovesexy” being his best work. Tell me, what do you look for in an album and what exactly do you consider an adequate album? If those albums are “shit” then I’d sure as hell like to know what’s good? Enlighten me.
@J Crash, now I didn't like Come too much but the rest you named was good to great! I've seen you across the board and you have stated numerously that you didn't like the 90s Prince. Personally my favorite album from the man is The Gold Experience, but in a way I respect your opinion. Most of his 90s catalog was overproduced, and didn't have that nasty, slick funky rock-pop flavor that he was so renowned for. To me he came back with The Rainbow Children (which turned many off by the overzealous religious lyrics and monotone voice speaking throughout the album) and got better with 3121 and hit the high on Planet Earth! Art Official Age to me was his last great album, and I consider it his last album, to be real. I HATED HitnRun: Phase One but I did very much enjoy Phase Two. Not an epic final chapter but, then again, he didn't begin his career astonishing with 1978's For You.
Please please acquire the rights to Prince's live debut of this song on SNL - it remains one of the most incredible performances he ever did and I'd love to be able to watch it!!
Great song Prince and video luv ya Prince sexie musical genius Prince 💓💜💜💜💜 Another trillion dollars for the Prince of music hahah god bless sweetie pie
Really 3121 is one of his greatest album and CD in the year of 2006 ...he came back hard ... smooth and funky he sounded like the old back in the day old school prince
@@annastaciaparker2902 i studied with a former count basie horn player. So i played all the woodwind instruments. Excellent musicians not this trash. Of course, thats all u've heard so to u its something. The truth is it doesnt rate top quality.
@@latebloomer2937, many teens I know don't listen / like Prince so....they said "This isn't our type of music". Prince ain't for this generation son. Like I asked, you think it's trash so why are you here? And listen to the lyrics / instrumentation, you think this is "low-grade"....people today do not write this kind of stuff. You are all over the comment section degrading Prince, aren't ya?
Such a loss for music losing Prince so young, such a gift being blessed with his music in the first place. And growing up with it in Minneapolis too. Magic.
If you can find the video of him playing this on SNL he complete destoryssssss it. Just melts face the entire time. Way more aggressive and uptempo. Have to google it though it’s not on TH-cam
I came to Prince late in life boy was I ever missing out on a once in a lifetime All-Star musician songwriter performer Superfly artist on the likes of Jimi.... Sure miss them ..... Both tragic deaths.... Could you imagine those two playing together in the same band jamming,... Only in dream land❤ 0:140:14
The gf is dancing all over to this one in honor of Prince bday Happy Birthday to a legend and genius. R.I.P. Thank you for the amazing music and memories. Peace, love and happiness. 👑❤🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏
I was lucky to see prince In the early 80s 💜
Prince was super human Genius. God bless Him💜

The best Ever'Period.
Most will never understand, he tapped in, to the higher plane of perfection; 100 years ahead of mankind.
I went to three of them in my lifetime. Wish I could have gone to more 💜
Yes, perfectly stated. Prince was all you said and more... and seeing him live only confirmed and cemented his genius!! We will not see his equal in our lifetimes.
My sentiments exactly. He has been my favorite since 1978. He provided the soundtrack for my entire life. He inspired me. I will always love his work.
Highly underrated song
My baby😢❤😊
Hidden gem
People overuse that phrase… but yes this is definitely underrated…. Nobody really knows about this song
I'm addicted to this man.
Me too!
Same here!
Same.....
Same here, his music helped with the females
ME TOO
This guy was just a freaking super-human genius. It's kind of eerie, just to watch. Even in the video, he looked super-human. It's like he came here to do music and once he finished his job, he left. It is hard to believe he's gone. SMH
Agreed same with Jimi and they say the son of God didnt exist he has many sons brother
@@poisoneddog2967 These guys were ordained by God to do this, clearly.
He's the Greatest

YESSSSSSS I GET YOU SO MUCH
Yes ma’am
Yessir. I'm 28 and he's my favorite music artist of all time.
Variety is still the norm it's OK to be normal 😂
I'm also 28 (I know this comment is a few years old now), but I 1000% agree lol pop artists today are babies compared to Prince's level of musicianship, really at any point in his career. You can go back to For You, and the level of musicianship there is miles above what people are putting out today. It's embarrassing, honestly.
Those 3 girls kill it 😮❤
Yes, they did! The choreography alone, deserves an award.
Prince is WAAAYY beyond his or anybody's time. In 2050 this song will still be current. No one else does this 💜
When he played this song live it was an experience.
I bet it was a Gold Experience ;). Makes me wanna become the boss of the Mafia or something.
RebelThoughts82 unfortually i never saw him life
RebelThoughts82 possibly one his best performances. Epic
In addition to Prince, simply being cool AF, with all that swagger. It was Prince's guitar solos, and the way he makes it sing, which really made me really appreciate other blues guitarists, metal and rock bands. He still reigns as my favorite of all time though.

The best Ever'Period.
The whole 3121 album is underrated in my opinion
Jazmyne P. WAY underrated! It’s a near perfect album, imo.
A slept on gem
Jazmyne P. 3121 was my first Prince album. Never forget watching BETs top 20 countdown and seeing Black Sweat for the first time. It was so different and refreshing compared to the horrible music back in 2007
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who feels the same way. This should’ve been a MASSIVE album cause it was and still is amazing!
Oh yeah, easily in his top 10.
He stood up and protested for all of us every day ....my 💜💜💜
I still can’t believe he’s gone 😢
@@Roscoe.P.Coldchain I can’t either…..
Hidden gem of his in my opinion . Musician / frontman / songwriter …… complete . RIP legend
We love and miss you💜💜Prince💜💜
The best Ever Period.
Love this song, Prince is just AMAZING! Can’t get enough of this man.
I feel the same way. I have been watching him daily for about a month straight now on here and my family thinks I need therapy. Prince is all the therapy I need! I find new music every day and always impressed by him. RIP Prince
Ana Herron me too!!!!IN PRINCE WE TRUST, ALWAYS.💜 🎸
He's amazing a genius
I know I never tire of hearing and seeing him! Wish he was still with us!

Omg 1999 was my 1st album I ever bought with my own money! I was like 15...
This song is on the album but it sounded nothing like this... he did this on SNL in the bluesy rock style... wasn't the same on the album lol
Prince was a musical genius. Dream job - back up dancer for Prince!
Prince got the fire red suite with killer guitar tone, and the beautiful ladies shaking that back while singing. This is what makes Prince an awesome artist he understood the importance of the visuals as much as the sound.
He like the only dude who can be light skinneded, and pull off dark skinned vibes🙆🏻♂️
@@the2ndcoming135 Alrighty!! Then. Interesting...way to say...

Who in their RIGHT mind would give this a thumbs down?!?
Someone scorned
Right mind is the operative word! 😡😡😡 this man was/is EVERYTHING 💜
@@windsofwaste now that's just funny.
Racist bigots who troll to thumb down all Black content.
No matter the scorn and shame
Love will always be the same
My king has all the fame
Truth and justice is his name
His eyes were mesmerizing.
When you know purple and red used to be the same thing and so you brilliantly prank people into thinking you’re Mexican with little to know effort😆
Prince mischievously sticking his tongue out at the end of the song. 😆😂 And I can picture him doing that too. It’s so him. Naughty naughty Prince. Cute.
I noticed that!Cracked me up
When they thought you wouldn’t respond because you prefer being likable even though you earned every inch of your independence😂
I never stopped listening. As hard as it was. And this song kicks SO hard.

VERY!!!
What a beautiful man. I could state at him all day..those eyes. 💜💜
Beautiful indeed!
I’m a man and i feel the same way 💜💜💜
I know you meant stare not state VB, I agree 100% with you! love him!!!💜💜
i feel like someone can keep me track of me through my fear..

Prince was still putting out great music way beyond the major hits from the 1980s and 1990s. Here is a prime example from 2006!
Missing you like crazy
Great song Prince and video luv ya Prince sexie musical genius Prince 💓💜💜💜💜
Another trillion dollars for the Prince of music hahah god bless sweetie pie
One of the many great “late period” Prince songs IMHO. His performance of this on SNL is unparalleled
This song is spectacular! Had an edge right up to the end. This is Minneapolis sound at full tilt! Funky, screaming guitar, swagger, superb!
I keep watching this video over and over. Over the years I still can’t get enough of those dancers !!!
Really 3121 is one of his greatest album and CD in the year of 2006 ...he came back hard ... smooth and funky he sounded like the old back in the day old school prince
RIP Prince, I still love you!
I can listen to the ‘The Fury’ on repeat, one of my all time guitar 🎸 work outs by Prince. Killed it on SNL
Prince rocking the Diamonds and Pearls Typhoon ‘do 😂😂😂
Dressed in all red...standing in the middle of FIRE...playin his guitar wearing a pimped out doo rag. ONLY him. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
G.O.A.T! Don't question me! Lol...those riffs though.....mind blowing! 💜✝️☮️
Prince, always lookin good. That lead dancer can really do the moves and looks incredible.
Another amazing performance from the genius Prince. Tamar is quite beautiful.
Get it Tamar!!!!!!!💜💜💜
Love Prince forever and always
