Recent Unblock! We had not reacted to Sheila E yet at this point in our journey! It was super cool to put two and two together after reading the comments on our Sheila E reaction. Thanks guys!
Sheila E or Sheena Easton? Sheila E was the drummer here who had a huge smash hit with “Love Bazaar”. Sheena Easton was the singer here who had many many solo hits of her own including “Morning Train” which you recently reacted to.
Here's your next Female Friday playlist!!! Featuring 3 NEW FEMALES for your channel: 1) Amy Grant - The Next Time I Fall (Duet with Peter Cetera, former lead vocalist & bass guitarist of Chicago) Link Here: th-cam.com/video/c-ENYuomYzA/w-d-xo.html 2) Jennifer Warnes - (I've Had) The Time of My Life (Duet with Bill Medley of The Righteous Brothers) Link Here: th-cam.com/video/4BQLE_RrTSU/w-d-xo.html 3) Kiki Dee - Don't Go Breaking My Heart (Duet with Elton John) Link Here: th-cam.com/video/z0qW9P-uYfM/w-d-xo.html
I know you guys have reacted to Sheena Easton on the channel. Didn't recognize her? Well she did have a different look but same great voice! Keep up with more Prince, his library is very diverse!
I know it's confusing, but the woman singing the duet with Prince is Sheena Easton, not Sheila E. However, Sheila E. is in this video. She's the one playing the drums. Sheila E. also has a career as a recording artist, and you should definitely check her out on female Friday. I'd recommend starting with The Glamorous Life or A Love Bizarre.
Sheena Easton, not Shiela E. Since this reaction was filmed, you’ve reacted to “Morning Train” by Sheena Easton. That was her first pop hit in the US. This is a different style altogether for Sheena.
As a Generation X person, I know about Sheena easton. But I only listened to the lyrics to "Strut" for the first time about 2 weeks ago. That song is not about what people think it's about, lol!
Sheena Easton, Sheila E., and Kat...Prince always surrounded himself with a bevy of beautiful and talented women. Sheena's saying "your body's hecka slammin' "
Prince didn't write this song as a duet, but after Easton did "Sugar Walls," he asked her to come in to sing backup on the song. When Easton started singing her parts, Prince realized that it worked better as a duet, so they arranged the song in that manner, with the pair singing to each other.
Little bit of trivia - the lyrics in this song reference a slang term we had back in the day - "ugly lights". We used this for when the club lights came on at the end of the night to signal closing time. After hanging out and partying in the dark for so long, we knew the "ugly lights" would reveal what everyone really looked like. You didn't necessarily want to be there when that happened, ha.
I went to HS with Prince, and flamboyance was definitely part of the culture. We had all male fashion shows. I remember a guy strutted down the central aisle up to the stage head to toe in emerald green--from top hat to gold studded cane to shoes. The girls were screaming and falling over each other. There was also an active theater department that put on student written plays, some of which I can tell Prince drew inspiration from
Wow, very interesting tidbit. So his sense of fashion and easy wearing of it wasn't just his own flamboyance but rather inspired by others in his high school? That puts a bit of a different spin on his outfits. Yes, you definitely should expand this into an article and publish it somewhere, a forum perhaps. Many would want to know about this.
idk man he from very young age absorbing the dancers looks of his fathers stripclub gigs 60s 70s the whole vibe of them places giving off and basicly late 60s 70s black american culture and fashion styles and senses especialy a lot in their funk music and pimp and ho´s prostitution scenes kom up nou them looks were really funky muffkng crazy off the hook!!! can say whatever u want but that was style in yr face people couldn´t handle it
Sheena Easton was so funky when she sang this song written by Prince! She seemed to like him too! Sheena also sang other songs by Prince and they were big hits! Loved the song to dance to!
Prince never cheated the choreography either. All those splits and jumps did permanent damage to his knees and hips, which is why he started with pain meds.
I still haven't made my peace with the loss. Prince's music is a huge part of the soundtrack of my life. I first saw "Controversy" and my little teenage mind was blown. Definitely check that one out.
This was the start of a new direction for Sheena Easton. Before she had more of a wholesome pop image. After this she made a string of edgier, sexually charged songs like Strut and Sugar Walls (which was written by Prince).
This was in 1987, actually after she had already established a new look and image in 1984, with major Top 10 hits like "Strut" and "Sugar Walls", but before "The Lover in Me"
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, do "GETT OFF" the official video by Prince!!! - He loved the song so much he did it at the awards show and an extended version. The video is so much fun, you really get to see his wild side, plus it's a BANGER!!!
Sheena Easton had such a unique musical trajectory. I first heard her singing the James Bond theme "For Your Eyes Only." "Almost Over You" followed in a similar style and "9 to 5 (Morning Train)". All very Adult Contemporary (as it was called back then). Suddenly there was "Strut," "Sugar Walls" and "U Got the Look". Talk about changing musical genres. I don't think anyone had ever made a transition like that before. A true talent.
Not quite as big of a switch, but Olivia Newton-John also went more mature from her sweet pop/country to Grease to the early 80's hits of "A Little More Love", "Physical" and "Make a Move on Me". Both of them were fantastic in all their versions.
From one of the greatest concert movies ever made "Sign o' the Times" (1987) ...It was for his Grammy nominated album `Sign 'o' the Times' capturing Prince at the peak of his musical powers.
I find it so odd that such an epic period in His Royal Sexiness's creative career never gets the notice that his (admittedly many & also tremendous) other efforts receive.
Prince was very shy when he wanted to be and very much an extrovert when he wanted to be. Y’all should check out his interviews. He was humble in most, but yet when asked about music in general he states his music is incomparable to anyone else. Truly nothing compares 2U Prince!
Jay and Amber, you do realize the female vocalist is Sheena Easton. Yes, Sheena “My Baby Takes the Morning Train” Easton. Nice, wholesome Scottish gal corrupted by Prince. Get her Prince!!
The 80's was an absolute blast. I can confirm. At least for me it was. The music was great. TV was great. Life was pretty great. The internet really changed things. We went from interacting with our communities, to ignoring our communities for social media.
Being a teen/young adult in the 80s was THE BEST. I'm so glad you guys did this! The other day, y'all reacted to Sheena Easton. She is the one singing with Prince here. She had a bunch of hits in her own right, some of them written by Prince.
Prince brought out the saucy in Sheena Easton! She went from a demure Scottish lass to a sexy Femme fatale! 😂. I also loved Sheila E on percussions!! This song and video are both so much fun! ❤❤
Sheila E is on the drums. Sheena Easton is singing the chorus (you reacted to her recently singing “Morning Train”). This song is totally a vibe. Man, I miss Prince
I was in Princes "MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD VIDEO " Had the pleasure 2 get 2 know him beyond the music. Prince was a visionary, workaholic and ran every part of Paisley Park ( business included ) . However he was cool as hell. Funny , sensitive , beautiful inside out. The definition of a gentleman. He treated me like a queen . At 5"3 and 112lbs Prince was a gaint . It was a honor that went beyond my fantasies of him. I loved him then and I love him now . #peaceandstaywild
Sheena Easton (The female lead) is a superstar herself!!! She has massive hits too!!! Y'all need to put her on Female Friday..."For Your Eyes Only" "Sugarwalls" "The Lover In Me" "Strut" "Morning Train"...She is amazing!!
Prince and Sheena Easton had such chemistry together. I remember this song was everywhere. Prince was always Prince. Interviews, guest spots, shows, didn’t matter. The man was swagger personified.
Sheena also did a duet with Kenny Rogers called "We've Got Tonight" that you should check out. Bob Seager also did a version of this song. Both versions are fire!
@@quincee3376 It’s Sheena Easton. Rob got confused. This is an old unblocked reaction. Since they filmed this, they’ve reacted to Sheena Easton solo. Rob got Sheena and Shiela mixed up.
Prince was truly talented and he played multiple instruments. Check out his solo during his performance of "My Guitar Gently Weeps" with Steve Winwood, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne. Epic!!
I have been telling them for over a year that they need to do that song! You haven't truly witnessed his complete brilliance until watching that performance
Yeah, they reacted to While My Guitar Gently Weeps from the Beatles album but you are right. They need to check out the live performance that included George Harrison's son as well. Prince's guitar solo was epic!
You're right about the hilarious lyrics: "But, You are a natural beauty unaffected. Lemmie see here. My face is red. I stand corrected!". By the way that's SHEENA E. (Easton) singing the co-lead on this record; not SHEILA E. (but Sheila E. (Escovedo) is on this video playing percussion. "Your body's hekka slamm'n. If love is good; let's get to ramm'n. Now!"
Can't go wrong with Prince, like ever. (And you are correct, you've done seven of his songs.) I'm sure you'll watch Purple Rain on your movie channel soon... but I hope you'll still react to "Baby I'm a Star" from that soundtrack. It'll get you moving! I also highly recommend "Cream", "7", "Sign O' the Times", and my personal fave, "Mountains" (a truly underrated song).
Yes Mountains is My Favorite Song from him of All time that song was never on the radio it only came out as a Video on MTV for the Soundtrack for his Movie Under the Cherry Moon if wasn’t for that it just would’ve been a Song on the album I think That’s why I love that Song so Much it didn’t get over played on the radio like his other songs did at that time
Yeah, they MUST check out Purple Rain, the movie! And I was just about to suggest CREAM and DIAMONDS and PEARLS! All of his stuff is extraordinary! PRINCE is a GOAT! RIP Prince💜
Amber & Jordan, First of all, Rip To one of the greatest entertainer's of all time, Prince!!! Now the lady that was singing with Prince was Sheena Easton who also had great hits n the lady that was playing the drums her name was Sheila E. One thing about Prince is that he had all these beautiful ladies either be in his video's, his movies or has dated them. Apolonia Kotero was part of Prince is movie Purple Rain n was part of Vanity Six a group that he created n after Apolonia came a lady called Vanity who took her place, Sheila E has started her career with Prince n U also saw Sheena Easton do her magic on the mic.
The greatest artist of all time. Loved your reaction. Lifelong Prince fan. Had the priviledge of seeing him live only once. Will never forget this. Love you Prince. 💜💜💜💜
And the stunning Sheena Easton’s incredible performance in, and contribution to, this song is beyond hot! Amazing voice and talent! Dynamic and electric duo/duet! 💖
I saw Sheena Easton in concert and she put on an amazing show. She did like seven wardrobe changes on stage just by peeling layers off, and she was super tiny even with everything piled on her!
When I was growing up, Prince Was a big deal for me I had such a crush on this man I had his posters all over my room. Till this day and I’m fit to years old I still love this man he was an amazing artist
Heck-a-slammin is a Princeism. Never heard it from anyone else. He hand-delivered a new image for Sheena Easton with her collaborations with him (her story arc on Miami Vice helped too 😄).
The g.o.a.t to me and mine. If you been a Prince fan for your life you know how amazing he was. I hope you all do another 50 or 60 of his hits an B side hits and club staples. Best to all
Hey guys, loved the unboxing video from earlier today! I was the one who sent you the painting. I was so touched by your reaction to it. You totally made my day, and put a smile in my heart! Thank you so much for everything you do! 🥰
The Gold Experience is a concept album, it's about opening up a computer app and it taking you on a programmed journey. EYE HATE U, GOLD, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD, 319, MARCH....underrated album. You letting the CD play in order simulates the computer losing comprehension of the human experience as it malfunctions. EPIC
I've loved his music and him for years and I miss him physically on this planet. Scottish singer Sheena Easton was perfect for this song, he wrote many songs for other artists under a pseudonym - and you're so right, every song he did was a show!! 💜
A friend had tickets to a prince show. Ask me to attend, I am a avid music love of all kinds but I cut my teeth on rock 70’s, a rock guy at heart. I reluctantly went and was blown away by the talent on display right before my eyes. No words can discribe how he turned me into a lifetime fan!!!! A true artist
Oh yes, that's right Prince and Sheena Easton, what a wonderful break out song and video for her after her debut song Morning Train introduced her to us all and then Prince got a hold of her for this song! What a difference eh? YES! You two reacted to that video a couple of weeks ago, oh and that's right Sheila E is on the drums in this video too! Prince is sensual in his all his movements on stage! I'm so glad you reacted to this song! Love it! After watching this video, it reminds me of how short the miniskirts we wore were like that back then! Happy memories! Enjoyed your reaction! ☮💕👍👏
Lyrics are phenomenal in this - Makes a comment about it took her an hour to make up her face, then "closing time, ugly lights, everybody's inspected, but you are a natural beauty unaffected, did I say an hour? may face is red, I stand corrected" Like, house lights came on, and people don't look so good, but not her, and he's like "oh, you're really just that hot" Also, the lyric is "heck-a-slammin'" which is just "hella slammin" but language cleaned up for radio at that time, which was super restrictive.
Please, please, please! Watch Purple Rain the Movie. You're going to love it! Actually Prince was a one woman man. His friends said that when he was with someone he would lavish them with gifts and attention. They said it was kinda of embarrassing 🙄😊
My first concert was in 1984 at the LA Forum to watch Prince. I was 6 years old and my dad took me. My dad was a strictly rock and roll + funk enthusiast but Purple Rain was one of his favorite albums so we had to go see Prince. All I remember is the stage turning red (little red corvette) and turning Purple (Purple Rain). Prince can never be replicated- RIP to a legend 👍
This is another one I'm waiting for but don't give up guys it took them a long time to get to my request for Buddy Holly Everyday but they do get around to it. Ok come on Rob Squad let's do it Diamonds and Pearls style in Prince's name
I would love to see you 2 react to the Whispers and 2 of their upbeat funky songs "Rock Steady" and "And the Beat Goes On" or any of their awesome smooth soulful slow jams. The live versions of any of their songs.
Charley Murphy (Eddie's brother) tells some hilarious stories about playing basketball at Prince's house and about Rick James. I think he started them on Chappelle's Show who does epic imitations of Rick James. And yes, Prince is sexy as all get out. I was so surprised to learn he's like 5'2".
This video features the two sexiest performers in music: Prince and Sheena Easton. They have fantastic musical chemistry and are a joy just to watch. The other big hit they worked on together was "Sugar Walls", which I believe Prince wrote and Easton recorded. Great tune.
3:30 Agreed 🤝 : Fun Fact: PRINCE was gaining popularity, but what put him over the top was his MTV videos. You literally got to see his on stage performances. He was all about his live performances. His Band Practiced a Ton and it showed. ❤😎 I just ❤ that MAN.❤🔥🎶🌟
This song was so ahead of its time. I loved it so much as a kid and still love it. Truly unique. Try listening to his song ‘Cream’, it’s so good. Prince died on my birthday, that wasn’t very good at all :/
Was a big Sheila E and Pete Escaveto fan. I saw him 3 times live with his Latin jazz band and one show he had Sheila E his daughter on drums. Great drummers, pretty much all of the Escavitos. Sheila E is one of the best drummmers in modern music and shows it in this song. Great dancer too. Prince is also a great guitar among all the rest. Loved this song which came out when I was 22 and it came out. Sheena Easton vocals find a perfect home here as well. Prince's band, well it's prince's freaking band. Hand picked excellence that jam together like nobodies business. Prince is one of the best dancers of modern music. Not the biggest Prince fan, but man did God give that boy talent. Mastermind, absolute genius.
You could do one day just on Prince-adjacent artists. 1. The Time 2. Sheila E 3. Wendy and Lisa For a FemaleFriday you could go: 1. Sheila E 2. Wendy and Lisa 3. Sheena Easton- “Sugar Walls” because it was written by Prince for Sheena.
Growing up and being a teenager in the 80's was awesome. Price was amazing, from his music to his movie Purple Rain. We all miss him and his music. R.I.P. Prince. God bless.
Actually, it was a big deal to Prince to always be, well, Prince. He was who he was every hour of every single day, and who he was, was so complex and amazing I think it's all he could be.
Prince I remember seeing him in the movie purple rain either in 1984 1985 but he actually made his first video in 1979 at the age of 21 I want to be your lover ….. multi faceted he knew how to play all the instruments in the band wrote and sang you could tell that he gave his all his songs so gifted a talent he painted his music on a canvas and created a true masterpiece…. The baby boomers generation contributed such an amazing gift to people I couldn’t tell you today if any person could ever compare gone too soon 🕊 Prince Rogers Nelson Could you play some earth wind and fire Philip Bailey’s vocals on Devotion were unreal I still get chills hearing his vocals I was a teenager the first time I heard it on my little transistor radio rollerskating around the neighborhood I believe in 1974 Earth wind & fire reasons imagination that’s the way of the world devotion I still have the EW & Fire album all the tracts were so beautiful 10:43 The commodores Brickhouse The emotions best of my love I saw them live in 1981 That era is long gone I feel kind of spoiled being a witness to such artistic creation 🕊 you don’t get moved inside or feel when you hear the music that people make today its all about the big record companies making profit even if the person is lacking in artistic creation The arrow from the 70s to the 90s after 2000 the music just died we’ll never hear music like this ever again 🕊

Prince didn't make music, he WAS music.
Sheena Easton is such a talent in her own right. She has a huge catalog of amazing songs and so few reactors find her.
Glasgow girl
@@cgmat7804 I've always loved her accent.
As a Generation X person, I know about Sheena easton. But I only listened to the lyrics to "Strut" for the first time about 2 weeks ago. That song is not about what people think it's about, lol!
@@hatintheringreactionsbyodi4776 lol. She got a bit Risqué didn't she? That and Sugar Walls.
@@cgmat7804 Bellshill
Sheena Easton, Sheila E., and Kat...Prince always surrounded himself with a bevy of beautiful and talented women.
Sheena's saying "your body's hecka slammin' "
Sheena Eastons singing and Sheila E on drums…. 3 amazing musicians.
Sheila E. is so underrated. One of the greatest drummers of all time, and still doing it!
Sheila E by herself deserves some Female Friday love… my wife’s favorite song of hers is The Bells of St Mark
Sheila E’s drumming, in person, it’s a mind-blowing experience, she is one of the worlds best drummers, no question.
Undoubtedly both slammed by Prince...🤫
@@JohnM...No they weren't into men
Prince is the only guy who can walk into a bar in heels and a fur coat and walk out with your girl.
Prince didn't write this song as a duet, but after Easton did "Sugar Walls," he asked her to come in to sing backup on the song. When Easton started singing her parts, Prince realized that it worked better as a duet, so they arranged the song in that manner, with the pair singing to each other.

Man does that bring me back I'm laughing so hard but its true
Lol. So true. I used this the other day and my adult nieces & nephews were cracking up thinking I invented the term.
Love this trivia, been singing this song for 35 years and never knew that!
I must be older because we all knew that term😊
like cockroaches scurrying away when the lights came up LOL
I went to HS with Prince, and flamboyance was definitely part of the culture. We had all male fashion shows.

Supposedly he got a lot from hanging out in the barber and beauty shops also, as far as his sense of humor anyway.
Would love to hear more stories of that!
Sounds cool

people couldn´t handle it
Prince was mega-talented. Extraordinary guitar player, and composer and lyricist. One of musics GOATs.
Sheena Easton was so funky when she sang this song written by Prince! She seemed to like him too! Sheena also sang other songs by Prince and they were big hits! Loved the song to dance to!
So true.
Those are only 3 of his Many talents.
Damn straight
Prince never cheated the choreography either. All those splits and jumps did permanent damage to his knees and hips, which is why he started with pain meds.
Sadly so..😔💜
Very sad.
And all in high heels with a guitar!
I was so sad when he passed.
:(
Prince + Sheena Easton + Sheila E = Magic!
I still haven't made my peace with the loss. Prince's music is a huge part of the soundtrack of my life. I first saw "Controversy" and my little teenage mind was blown. Definitely check that one out.
Most of the planet hasn't made peace with the loss of Prince. Same thing with Michael Jackson
I know, me too❤
This was the start of a new direction for Sheena Easton. Before she had more of a wholesome pop image. After this she made a string of edgier, sexually charged songs like Strut and Sugar Walls (which was written by Prince).
This was in 1987, actually after she had already established a new look and image in 1984, with major Top 10 hits like "Strut" and "Sugar Walls", but before "The Lover in Me"
Yeah.... edgier for sure... definitely a different direction, than her American break- thru hit, " Morning Train"
Oh man "SUGAR WALLS". That song was WOAH for my adolescent ears! 😂 But it was really good too. There was definitely a Prince influence in that sound.
Strut and Sugar Walls were before this, but yes I agree with your general point
Actually, both "Strut" (1984) & "Sugar Walls" (1985) came before "U Got The Look" (1987)
Fantastic song. Another Prince Classic and so damn good. With Sheila E on Drums and Sheena Easton singing with him. SMOKIN!
Glad to see a comment about Sheila E. Her percussion was awesome in his work.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, do "GETT OFF" the official video by Prince!!! - He loved the song so much he did it at the awards show and an extended version. The video is so much fun, you really get to see his wild side, plus it's a BANGER!!!
Damn that's another good one right with Diamonds and Pearls
And then the 1991 VMA oerformance that broke TV.
Sheena Easton had such a unique musical trajectory. I first heard her singing the James Bond theme "For Your Eyes Only." "Almost Over You" followed in a similar style and "9 to 5 (Morning Train)". All very Adult Contemporary (as it was called back then). Suddenly there was "Strut," "Sugar Walls" and "U Got the Look". Talk about changing musical genres.

It was truly a shock to me at the time. 😂
@@davedave8602 true.
"For Your Eyes Only" is her best song and one of my all time favorites.
From one of the greatest concert movies ever made "Sign o' the Times" (1987) ...It was for his Grammy nominated album `Sign 'o' the Times' capturing Prince at the peak of his musical powers.
I find it so odd that such an epic period in His Royal Sexiness's creative career never gets the notice that his (admittedly many & also tremendous) other efforts receive.
Prince's co-singer was the beautiful Scottish singer Sheena Easton. Monster hit "Morning Train"
Prince goes to another level with his song "My name is Prince". Your jaw will hit the floor and you will ask yourself "what just happened ?"
Yes, he was good in rap too just like in Pussy Control
"Heck" was often used in place of "hell" Your body's "hecka slammin" instead of "hella slammin" .
Oh is that what the lyric was? I says thought it was “your body’s hips are slamming” 😂
No, it's "Your body's hectic slammin'"! The lyrics were in the album liner notes (I was a freak for Sheena Easton and Prince)
You definitely need to watch Prince performing in the half time super bowl in my opinion one of the greatest live performances in musical history
Prince did the halftime at the Super Bowl one year, by far the best show ever! He even played live in the rain! Great show!
Prince was very shy when he wanted to be and very much an extrovert when he wanted to be. Y’all should check out his interviews. He was humble in most, but yet when asked about music in general he states his music is incomparable to anyone else. Truly nothing compares 2U Prince!
Jay and Amber, you do realize the female vocalist is Sheena Easton. Yes, Sheena “My Baby Takes the Morning Train” Easton. Nice, wholesome Scottish gal corrupted by Prince. Get her Prince!!

Sheena also did a duet with Kenny Rogers called "We've Got Tonight" that you should check out. Bob Seager also did a version of this song. Both versions are fire!
😍 Great Song!!
Bob Seger did it in the late 70's or early 80's
Bob Seger did not do a version of the song We've got Tonight....his is the original ....he wrote it.
Bob Seeger wrote it.
“Bob Seager also does a version”!?!?! Bob SEGER wrote and recorded We’ve Got Tonight in 1978. Kenny and Sheena’s version came out in 1983.
You should seriously check out the whole Sign O’ the Times concert video, one of the greatest ever.
Fantastic concert
BTW Amber he was actually very shy and soft spoken off stage but the swag and sex appeal is always clear.
Sheila E on percussion / timbales… member of the talented Escovedo family!
So is this Sheena Easton and Sheila E? I'm so confused. Lol.
Indeed, both on the stage!
Or is it Apollonia or Vanity? Or Wendy or Lisa?
@@quincee3376 It’s Sheena Easton. Rob got confused. This is an old unblocked reaction. Since they filmed this, they’ve reacted to Sheena Easton solo. Rob got Sheena and Shiela mixed up.
@@petercourtien4581 Sheena singing AND Sheila playing drums!
Prince was one of the kind, he helped a lots of his band members achieve fame he was awesome.
I had never heard of sheena easton until this hit.
Prince wrote "sugar walls" for Sheena Easton. One of her earlier songs Under the pen Name" Alexander Nevermind" check it out!
Produced and wrote for The Time under the name Jamie Starr.
Prince was truly talented and he played multiple instruments. Check out his solo during his performance of "My Guitar Gently Weeps" with Steve Winwood, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne. Epic!!
I have been telling them for over a year that they need to do that song! You haven't truly witnessed his complete brilliance until watching that performance
EPIC! For real!
Great suggestion! It truly showcases how talented Prince was
@@starlette570 best guitar solo of all time - never get tired of it. it is even better when you hear the story behind it.
Yeah, they reacted to While My Guitar Gently Weeps from the Beatles album but you are right. They need to check out the live performance that included George Harrison's son as well. Prince's guitar solo was epic!
Absolutely can not go wrong with any Prince song. He was a musical genius. Great reaction! The Beautiful Ones is another great one to react to.
Prince in real life could be - Quiet, Shy, Mysterious, Perfectionist, but also to some Funny, Sarcastic, Flirty, Genius!
Yah I think Purple Rain movie captures his true personalities. On stage and off. They should watch it
Jay & Amber, you'll love his "Delirious" and "Kiss" !!!!
Prince- vocals, producer, composer, arranger
Sheila E.- percussion
Sheena Easton- uncredited vocals.
You're right about the hilarious lyrics: "But, You are a natural beauty unaffected. Lemmie see here. My face is red. I stand corrected!". By the way that's SHEENA E. (Easton) singing the co-lead on this record; not SHEILA E. (but Sheila E. (Escovedo) is on this video playing percussion. "Your body's hekka slamm'n. If love is good; let's get to ramm'n. Now!"
Can't go wrong with Prince, like ever. (And you are correct, you've done seven of his songs.) I'm sure you'll watch Purple Rain on your movie channel soon... but I hope you'll still react to "Baby I'm a Star" from that soundtrack. It'll get you moving! I also highly recommend "Cream", "7", "Sign O' the Times", and my personal fave, "Mountains" (a truly underrated song).
What's your opinion of "Diamonds and Pearls"? I'm just curious.
Yes Mountains is My Favorite Song from him of All time that song was never on the radio it only came out as a Video on MTV for the Soundtrack for his Movie Under the Cherry Moon if wasn’t for that it just would’ve been a Song on the album I think That’s why I love that Song so Much it didn’t get over played on the radio like his other songs did at that time
Yeah, they MUST check out Purple Rain, the movie! And I was just about to suggest CREAM and DIAMONDS and PEARLS! All of his stuff is extraordinary! PRINCE is a GOAT!
RIP Prince💜
Mountains is one of my favorites too! And Baby I’m a Star is amazing.
Facts about "Mountains"
Amber & Jordan, First of all, Rip To one of the greatest entertainer's of all time, Prince!!! Now the lady that was singing with Prince was Sheena Easton who also had great hits n the lady that was playing the drums her name was Sheila E. One thing about Prince is that he had all these beautiful ladies either be in his video's, his movies or has dated them. Apolonia Kotero was part of Prince is movie Purple Rain n was part of Vanity Six a group that he created n after Apolonia came a lady called Vanity who took her place, Sheila E has started her career with Prince n U also saw Sheena Easton do her magic on the mic.
Listen to Shiela E "A Love Bizzare"
The greatest artist of all time. Loved your reaction. Lifelong Prince fan. Had the priviledge of seeing him live only once. Will never forget this. Love you Prince. 💜💜💜💜
The singing lady is Scottish singer Sheena Easton. Please react to her song "You could have been with me"!!! 😄
I thought she was from Ireland
They had already reacted to "9 to 5 (Morning Train)". I'm surprised they didn't recognize her!
That’s a beautiful song of hers, showcases her voice as does We’ve Got Tonight with Kenny Rogers.
Indeed strange that both didn't recognise her😄.
She is certainly Scottish although her high notes sound even more beautiful than a bagpipe 😉😉
Prince was amazing I was lucky to see him 1 time live .RIP Prince
And the stunning Sheena Easton’s incredible performance in, and contribution to, this song is beyond hot! Amazing voice and talent! Dynamic and electric duo/duet! 💖
Prince fantastic artist...no words.
I saw Sheena Easton in concert and she put on an amazing show. She did like seven wardrobe changes on stage just by peeling layers off, and she was super tiny even with everything piled on her!
When I was growing up, Prince Was a big deal for me I had such a crush on this man I had his posters all over my room. Till this day and I’m fit to years old I still love this man he was an amazing artist
How can you not love him!!! I saw him at the Purple Rain tour in 1984. I got my mom loving him. This was one of her favorite songs.
I knew a guy in New York who worked with Prince and he said that he was surprisingly laid back.
He was polar opposite of his on stage persona.
Heck-a-slammin is a Princeism. Never heard it from anyone else. He hand-delivered a new image for Sheena Easton with her collaborations with him (her story arc on Miami Vice helped too 😄).
Heck is a synonym for hell.... Remember "What the heck is that???"
heck-a-slammin' is like hella good today
"If love is good, let's get to rammin'" 😂
The g.o.a.t to me and mine. If you been a Prince fan for your life you know how amazing he was. I hope you all do another 50 or 60 of his hits an B side hits and club staples. Best to all
Hey guys, loved the unboxing video from earlier today! I was the one who sent you the painting. I was so touched by your reaction to it. You totally made my day, and put a smile in my heart! Thank you so much for everything you do! 🥰
I saw your painting in the video. I wish I had half the artistic talent you have !
@@konglives4453 Thanks so much. I appreciate that. 😁
The Gold Experience is a concept album, it's about opening up a computer app and it taking you on a programmed journey. EYE HATE U, GOLD, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD, 319, MARCH....underrated album. You letting the CD play in order simulates the computer losing comprehension of the human experience as it malfunctions. EPIC
I've loved his music and him for years and I miss him physically on this planet. Scottish singer Sheena Easton was perfect for this song, he wrote many songs for other artists under a pseudonym - and you're so right, every song he did was a show!! 💜
A friend had tickets to a prince show. Ask me to attend, I am a avid music love of all kinds but I cut my teeth on rock 70’s, a rock guy at heart. I reluctantly went and was blown away by the talent on display right before my eyes. No words can discribe how he turned me into a lifetime fan!!!! A true artist
I happily recommend checking out Prince and the Revolution, ‘Kiss’ (official video). He uses his voice like an instrument!
Prince wrote her hit Sugar Walls. Euphemism for V.
From 1980, when MTV began, most big names and innovative new bands had videos for most songs. 90's, too.
Another great reaction. The album and film SIGN O’ THE TIMES is among Prince’s greatest work…you need to review both in their entirety.
Colour you peach and black, colour me taken aback.....love the lyrics - classic cheeky Prince. Brilliant.
Oh yes, that's right Prince and Sheena Easton, what a wonderful break out song and video for her after her debut song Morning Train introduced her to us all and then Prince got a hold of her for this song! What a difference eh? YES! You two reacted to that video a couple of weeks ago, oh and that's right Sheila E is on the drums in this video too! Prince is sensual in his all his movements on stage! I'm so glad you reacted to this song! Love it! After watching this video, it reminds me of how short the miniskirts we wore were like that back then! Happy memories! Enjoyed your reaction! ☮💕👍👏
Lyrics are phenomenal in this -
Makes a comment about it took her an hour to make up her face, then
"closing time, ugly lights, everybody's inspected,
but you are a natural beauty unaffected,
did I say an hour? may face is red,
I stand corrected"
Like, house lights came on, and people don't look so good, but not her, and he's like "oh, you're really just that hot"
Also, the lyric is "heck-a-slammin'" which is just "hella slammin" but language cleaned up for radio at that time, which was super restrictive.
Prince wrote huge hits for many girls or girl groups!
When I've seen him doing interviews he just exudes sensuality ~ it's just IN him ~ R.I.P. He was a genius ~
Please, please, please! Watch Purple Rain the Movie. You're going to love it! Actually Prince was a one woman man. His friends said that when he was with someone he would lavish them with gifts and attention. They said it was kinda of embarrassing 🙄😊
Prince was many things, but a "one woman man" he was not.
I think his devotion was a big part of his sex appeal for a lot of women, tbh. I know I found it endearing. 😊
My first concert was in 1984 at the LA Forum to watch Prince. I was 6 years old and my dad took me. My dad was a strictly rock and roll + funk enthusiast but Purple Rain was one of his favorite albums so we had to go see Prince. All I remember is the stage turning red (little red corvette) and turning Purple (Purple Rain). Prince can never be replicated- RIP to a legend 👍
When are you going to react to "Diamonds & Pearls" ??... This one is a CANT MISS !!!
Rosie Gaines is so good as a backup vocalist on that song they could review it on female Friday.
@@ronnix23 ... oh for sure, and she's a beautiful woman too
This is another one I'm waiting for but don't give up guys it took them a long time to get to my request for Buddy Holly Everyday but they do get around to it. Ok come on Rob Squad let's do it Diamonds and Pearls style in Prince's name
any track on that album, really - there's more than 1 thats a surprise
My fav
Oh the Fabulous Prince Rodgers Nelson, What a Guitarist & Songwriter. Pure Showman 🔥🔥🔥🎸🥰
I would love to see you 2 react to the Whispers and 2 of their upbeat funky songs "Rock Steady" and "And the Beat Goes On" or any of their awesome smooth soulful slow jams. The live versions of any of their songs.
definitely :)
One word best describes Prince....GENIUS!!
Charley Murphy (Eddie's brother) tells some hilarious stories about playing basketball at Prince's house and about Rick James. I think he started them on Chappelle's Show who does epic imitations of Rick James.
And yes, Prince is sexy as all get out. I was so surprised to learn he's like 5'2".
This was from Prince's concert movie 'Sign Of The Times'. I still watch this full concert from time to time.
This entire album is fantastic. You should listen to it if you haven't already.
I had the privilege of seeing 4 Prince tours in Wembley, London. They where never like any other concert they where an event to remember for ever
Ahh, Sheena Easton and Shiela E on the drums! 😍 You need to check them out too.
Prince .....There is only one word to describe him.......GENIUS ........
This video features the two sexiest performers in music: Prince and Sheena Easton. They have fantastic musical chemistry and are a joy just to watch. The other big hit they worked on together was "Sugar Walls", which I believe Prince wrote and Easton recorded. Great tune.
3:30 Agreed 🤝 : Fun Fact: PRINCE was gaining popularity, but what put him over the top was his MTV videos. You literally got to see his on stage performances. He was all about his live performances. His Band Practiced a Ton and it showed. ❤😎 I just ❤ that MAN.❤🔥🎶🌟
A underrated Sheena Easton song you should check out is "The Lover in Me" with the official video - it has a sax solo
This was Prince's best album in my humble opinion, SIGN O THE TIMES!
I think Prince’s The Most Beautiful Girl In The World is the track that really shows off his full vocal range. Check that one out! 😊
Yes!!
I actually got to see Prince here in Houston years ago. WOW what a show. I didn't sit down all night
This song was so ahead of its time. I loved it so much as a kid and still love it. Truly unique. Try listening to his song ‘Cream’, it’s so good. Prince died on my birthday, that wasn’t very good at all :/
snap lol, i just posted my request for 'Cream' again (it's one of my faves of his).
@@bonnielee78 me too
Was a big Sheila E and Pete Escaveto fan. I saw him 3 times live with his Latin jazz band and one show he had Sheila E his daughter on drums. Great drummers, pretty much all of the Escavitos. Sheila E is one of the best drummmers in modern music and shows it in this song. Great dancer too. Prince is also a great guitar among all the rest. Loved this song which came out when I was 22 and it came out. Sheena Easton vocals find a perfect home here as well. Prince's band, well it's prince's freaking band. Hand picked excellence that jam together like nobodies business. Prince is one of the best dancers of modern music. Not the biggest Prince fan, but man did God give that boy talent. Mastermind, absolute genius.
You could do one day just on Prince-adjacent artists.
1. The Time
2. Sheila E
3. Wendy and Lisa
For a FemaleFriday you could go:
1. Sheila E
2. Wendy and Lisa
3. Sheena Easton- “Sugar Walls” because it was written by Prince for Sheena.
I saw Prince at Wembley arena for the Alphabet Street tour in the late eighties. What an honour, i was in the presence of a genius
Sheena Easton is a Scottish singer saved by Prince from mediocracy.
So sad Prince has gone but such a talented gutiarist and singer songwriter. RIP
Growing up and being a teenager in the 80's was awesome. Price was amazing, from his music to his movie Purple Rain. We all miss him and his music. R.I.P. Prince. God bless.
Actually, it was a big deal to Prince to always be, well, Prince. He was who he was every hour of every single day, and who he was, was so complex and amazing I think it's all he could be.
Prince is the greatest solo artist of the 80s. He's also the greatest band of the 80s.
Sugarwalls sang by Sheena Easton check it out.!! It was banned on some channels
Prince I remember seeing him in the movie purple rain either in 1984 1985 but he actually made his first video in 1979 at the age of 21 I want to be your lover ….. multi faceted he knew how to play all the instruments in the band wrote and sang you could tell that he gave his all his songs so gifted a talent he painted his music on a canvas and created a true masterpiece…. The baby boomers generation contributed such an amazing gift to people I couldn’t tell you today if any person could ever compare
gone too soon 🕊
Prince Rogers Nelson
Could you play some earth wind and fire Philip Bailey’s vocals on Devotion were unreal I still get chills hearing his vocals I was a teenager the first time I heard it on my little transistor radio rollerskating around the neighborhood
I believe in 1974
Earth wind & fire
reasons
imagination
that’s the way of the world
devotion
I still have the EW & Fire album all the tracts were so beautiful 10:43
The commodores Brickhouse
The emotions
best of my love
I saw them live in 1981
That era is long gone I feel kind of spoiled being a witness to such artistic creation 🕊
you don’t get moved inside or feel when you hear the music that people make today its all about the big record companies making profit even if the person is lacking in artistic creation
The arrow from the 70s to the 90s after 2000 the music just died
we’ll never hear music like this ever again 🕊
You have to do more Sheena Easton!! I would suggest Almost over you, And , Sugar Walls for 2 totally different sides of her!!
She also did that duet with Kenny Rogers too didn't she? I think Rob Squad reacted to it, too, didn't they?
~PRINCE~PERFECTION~💜💜💜💜
OMG, he was so yummy. His music helped me lose weight back in the day. Clubbing was just a thang.
