That’s an amazing version of the song. There you have some of THE greatest guitar players of the last fifty years and Prince blows all of them out of the water. For as celebrated as he is, he’s still underrated.
With them gods that were on stage doing my guitar gently weeps together and for them to have him do that solo showed how respected he was as a guitarist. Incredible musician.
All 3 versions of this song are amazing but nothing beats the legend that is Prince. So glad you are checking him out. Other songs I absolutely love are When Doves Cry, 1999, Little Red Corvette, and Purple Rain (specifically his performance at halftime of the Super Bowl). Awesome reaction Biss ❤️👏👏
Prince's guitar skills are always rated highly but people miss what an amazing voice he has. His range is very wide and he has perfect pitch. His voice is so lovely.
This is your first Prince song? Oh my oh my, you are in for a treat! Songs like Purple Rain, Cream, Raspberry Beret, and especially When Doves Cry come to mind.
Prince IS my musical hero. There are too many songs to choose from but two of my all time favorites are "Call My Name" and "Shhh". They are well worth a listen, especially "Shhh"!
That small man took a lot of space on stage or wherever he appeared, regardless who stood next to him. But what a performer, and songwriter he was! Loved and missed 🤘
I've been to a lot of concerts in the past and really sad that I never got to see this Legend live, his singing, performing, stage presence and shredding on guitar are next level, he is so missed
Prince was an artist for the ages. He was simply incomparable. You can't go wrong with any Prince music and he wrote so much successful music performed by other artists.
Apart from the fact that Prince is one of the best guitar artists of all time, his hits are of course "Purple Rain, 1999, When Doves Cry and, and, and ... unforgettable - you want to dance if you can "when doves cry" knocks you off your chair!
Singer, song writer, musician(and he played nearly everything) and of course performer extraordinaire! Prince is the epitome of an all time great. If u go down his rabbit hole, may I suggest starting with his early stuff, Dirty mind album and just enjoy from there!!! RIP gone too early (heavy sigh)
Prince Purple Rain could be a double feature on this channel and BissFlix. Probably anything by Prince will hit you hard. His charisma on stage. The deep meaning of most songs. The fun atmosphere his party songs emote. Welcome to Prince. I look forward to seeing more reactions by him. I saw him live 2 or 3 times and each show was differnt by the best experience of my life.
Prince is simply Prince, definitely hearing him sing is always a surprise, there are so many levels of talent and musical lust that we all want more even if we are already fans. 💜 Do more!
Welcome to Prince‘s universum. He was the best. I heard one song at three different evening differently interpreted. He was the best live performer with great arrangements in different genres and a perfect timing. Whatever you can see live (Motherless Child, Play That Funky Music, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, The Live concerts in Montreux)…watch and be amazed!!!
I’ve been waiting so long for you to start your Prince voyage. Welcome. Strap in. If you thought discovering Queen and Freddie Mercury was life changing, you better get ready for new heights. I saw Prince 16 times in concert. Genius doesn’t really do him justice. Watch him live at the Forum - Play That Funky Music…it will blow you away. Peace.
Prince was a powerhouse in the 80s and has numerous hits. Thank you for reacting to one of his hits. If you wish to continue down the Prince journey, check out: "Purple Rain" or "When Doves Cry".
He was always a powerhouse! After the 80’s. My favourite era is the 90’s but even later, albums like musicology, 3121, planet earth, art official age, all stellar! Please dont label him as just an 80’s artist. He was producing outstanding music for nearly 40 years 💜
What an incredible, talented, beautiful soul we were blessed to have for too short of a time. (R.I.P.) I had the pleasure of seeing the Purple Rain tour, amazing performance. Let's get crazy from Purple Rain. Great guitar solo. Amazing reaction as usual. Keep up the great work...
Prince wrote it... recorded it... gave it to The Family (vocals by St. Paul Peterson) on the Paisley Park label in 1985. Sinead then did her cover & made it famous. Prince reclaimed it by doing live version with Rosie Gaines. Then after his death we finally got to hear his original studio version.
I have never heard a live performance from Prince where he sang a song the same. Even Purple Rain his biggest song he put a little different sauce every time. ❤ A true artist 😊 I like Sinead the most
Prince is definitely the most genius gifted musician/vocalist/song writer of the past thousand years! There wasn’t anything like Prince before, and it’s unlikely there will be anything like Prince ever again.
This just touches the surface of the gifts of Prince. But gradually move into his catalog form Contemporary hits like this, then to Pop hits like Purple Rain and 1999, then to the artsy Sign O The Times, then to the FUNK stuff Dirty Mind etc...
This song was first recorded by The Family, Prince's girlfriend Susannah Melvoin's band. It's definitely worth a listen to hear the original. Lots of great Prince music out there... take your pick.
I think Prince's performance in the rain at the Super Bowl XLI halftime show and his performance with a group of guitar legends on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" are a couple of must watch videos.
Glad to see you reacted to Prince. To me he's the greatest musician of my generation & there will never be another. His work is endless & he has many great songs. You need to do Purple Rain, Pink Cashmere, I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man, Take Me With You, Wherever You Go Whatever You Do, Take Me With You, Let's Get Crazy, Little Red Corvette, When Doves Cry, Gold & so many others. He's a legend RIP to him
One of my favorites is "Let's Get Crazy." The live scenes were filmed at First Avenue (Club) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the Twin Cities, (Minneapolis/St. Paul) they light up the city in purple every year in Prince's honor. 💜
Hi just stumbled in this, and You must see two! One is Motherless Child by Prince, And d the second is Question Of U live, with polka dot chest showing suit, short hair version.
The original recorded version of this song was by a band called The Family. The band included Prince's former fiancee Susannah Melvoin, the twin sister of Prince's guitarist Wendy. This is the version of the song Sinead O'connor listened to that inspired her to cover the song.
I honestly think, listen to the studio cut by Prince, then this makes more sense .... beautiful anyhow . I saw Prince in Wembley London but actually wished i could have experienced him in a small theatre like this .... lovely smile as always
R.I.P Prince. He wrote this song, that’s why this is my favourite. I don’t dislike the other versions but you asked which one is my favourite. He was a genius xx
Prince is one of the all time greats. Saw him live once and he sounds identical live to how he is on record. Truly a one of a kind. He supposedly could play 27 instruments and was entirely self taught. If you are gonna react to his songs, Purple rain is a must, but When Doves Cry is another killer. Oh, and there are two studio versions sung by Prince. There is the version he did which is probably the official video you saw on here and then there is also the version he recorded as part of the band The Family. Both versions are very different, and completely different to this live version. Worth listening to them all.
There's so much to listen to, and he changed his style so much from album to album. Some stuff you may love, others maybe not so much. But it's hard to deny the genius thay he was. I think I had about 25 of his CDs at one point.
A song he done called Gold was good but personally would say his live performance of Purple Rain from 1985 is one more people need to check out. Took that song to another level.
If you go down the Prince rabbit hole be prepared to take a few months because you will need it. He was a hit machine, both for himself and for so many others where he wrote the songs with the artist in mind. He was a genius and he turned down a record deal as a teen because they would not let him produce his music - he was THAT good.
Watching you react to this song was so cute. Listen to Prince “When Doves Cry,” “Kiss,” “1999,” “Little Red Corvette,” “Raspberry Beret,” and of course his guitar solo with Tom Petty and others singing the Beatles “While my Guitar Gently Weeps.”
Prince was born Prince Rogers Nelson from Minnesota... he was first signed as a teenager and released his first record 'For you' in 1978, on which he wrote, produced and played all the music (27 instruments! 😲) ... He was very meticulous when putting live bands together to perform his music, and would rehearse endlessly w/ the bands he formed - Prince & The Revolution and Prince & The New Power Generation (N.P.G.) ... His whole life revolved around music & writing songs, and that affected his personal relationships... He was shy, quiet and music was his way of expressing himself almost entirely. He wrote so many songs that he would keep in a vault... much of it was never released to the public. He would also cultivate musical talents to perform on his records in the studio and in concerts. What made Prince a star was his showmanship... his ability to dance, perform live, and project a personality visually that made him an icon for decades. He was up there w/ Michael Jackson for his ability to entertain. It was sad that he went down the path of prescription drug abuse, which eventually took his life in 2016 at age 57... Prince also starred in his own movies, the biggest being 'Purple Rain' in 1984. Just a warning: Prince reactions may not be possible due to copyrights. His estate is strict on those. U could try live performances 😁 I can suggest a few Prince songs - "When doves cry"... "Sign O' the times"... "Kiss"... 'Purple rain'... 'Little red Corvette'... 'Thieves in the temple'... 🔥🔥
This song Prince wrote for Sinead O'Connor so like many songs he wrote for other famous artists, when he sings it himself his own style so so amazing a talent. And his background singers adores him so much for he always make them shine on stage with him.
Prince originally wrote this for a band called the Family in 1985 who were a collection of his former band members. After Sinead O'Conner made it a worldwide hit in 1990 Prince decided to start performing his own versions in concerts from time to time. The official video version also features Rosie Gaines singing duet, but the tone is much more sombre and emotional.
The original first release was by a band named The Family. You should listen to that one also. My favorite. You can pick anything by Prince and you won't be disappointed.
we can't forget "little red corvette" one of my all time favorite Prince songs. my mom use to clean the house listening to that while dancing with the vacuum. lol
Two things. First, that smile at 2:40...that is an amazing smile. The initial discovery/understanding of the power of Prince. Second, as far as other Prince songs to react to...the list is looooong and you can't go wrong with any of them. If I were to go a little deeper (but not too far) into his catalog, "Money Don't Matter 2 Night" would be my recommendation. It's not the energy of "Let's Go Crazy" or "1999"...but that smile you had at 2:40...I get the same smile hearing "Money Don't Matter 2 Night". th-cam.com/video/AmGVAu9lk6I/w-d-xo.html
I am so glad you listened to this one. No one compares 2 Prince. But this isn't the best version. For the Purple Majesty in all his three inch platform heel Glory, you need to watch the official video on his channel.
you can't go wrong with any prince tunes. nothing compares to him. pun intended! the 'KISS' performance at the rock and roll hall of fame induction is awesome
"Little Red Corvette", "1999", "Let's Go Crazy", "When Doves Cry", "Purple Rain", " I Want to be Your Lover", "I Would Die 4 U", "Rasberry Beret", these are a good start. He wrote "I Feel For You" made famous by Chaka Khan and he wrote "Manic Monday" made famous by The Bangles. He would do all the instruments in his songs when recording.
On the BBC2 many years ago they had a singing competition which was called Naked Choir. They had different groups on who who were all singing Acapella and competing against each other . There was this one group called Choral Stimulation and they sang this song. The song only lasts for 2 minutes 18 seconds. You really would enjoy that. Happy listening 🎶
All musicians did an amazing version of the song. I love listening to Prince’s take on the song as it was created from a personal space within him and has a lot of soul. Once you enter the Prince rabbit hole you may never come out. I’m a long time admirer of his music and have enjoyed all of his albums and 7 concerts. There was nothing like a Prince concert! All walks of life under one roof singing and dancing along with the man, his music, and different incarnations of an always impeccable band of top notch players. I would recommend Purple Rain live 1985 at the American Music Awards as I feel that embodied the song even more that the official video/scene from the Purple Rain movie which is also the version you would hear from the soundtrack (radio version). After you familiarize yourself with his catalog I would recommend at some point doing a reaction to the Super Bowl performance (2007) where he does a mashup of songs including Purple Rain. Or you could find Purple Rain (Super Bowl) without the other songs. Avoid the one by NFL that says ‘Downpour’ as I believe it has clips of people telling stories of how much it was storming/raining during the performance and in doing so interrupts the performance. A great classic song and official video would be ‘Kiss’ Also, a great showcase of his phenomenal guitar playing would be ‘As My Guitar Gently Weeps’ as a tribute to the late great George Harrison (including Tom Petty, Jeff Lynn, Steve Winwood) There is so many great songs, and each album had a different vibe, and many of his songs are uniquely different from the next, I could go on with recommending songs and videos for a long time but I better stop here. I’m excited that you have so much great music to unpack! Enjoy the ride, and thank you for the video !
A great LIVE video of Prince, on America's biggest stage. When the producer told him that it's raining, before he took the stage, he said: "Can you make it rain harder?" - Prince - Super Bowl XLI | Halftime Show 2007
Anything Prince did was musical genius. You should check out While My Guitar Gently Weeps from the rock and roll hall of fame. He only joined in for guitar on that and killed it!
Prince's released music is legendary and his live performances often take the songs to another level. If you're going to do When Doves Cry make sure it's the extended video version. My suggestion is, and search for this exact term on TH-cam, "Prince - Never Take the Place of Your Man (1987 Sign of the Times concert movie)"
OMG down the rabbit hole we go... 🐰🕳️ When I was about 10-14yrs old, I listened to some r&b, funk, but mostly rock and heavy metal. Then a friend who liked a lot of the same music I did told me to check out Prince Dirty Minds and Controversy albums. This was just as Purple Rain was about to hit theaters. My mind was blown. I was lucky to see him perform live at the opening concert in Denver, Colorado of the Under the Cherry Moon (movie) /Parade (soundtrack). Then again in Denver for the Lovesexy tour. The final concert I saw him at was in San Jose, California for the Musicology tour. Phenomenal every time.
Each person gave something different to this song. They were all done by very talented people. I have to say that my favorite version is the Sinead O'Connor version probably b/c that's the version I first heard and heard the most of.
Hi! First time seeing one of your videos and seeing your reaction to one of my favorite artist was a joy. Pure enjoyment from you, it was great. I suggest listening to Adore. One of my favorite but as others have said he has so many good hits.
I'm from Minneapolis we're prince is from. He has sooooo many hit songs it's crazy good! Here are a few suggestions! "If I was your girlfriend" video "1999" "Purple Rain" from the movie "Adore" is 🔥🔥🔥! "Darling Nikki" and many more! Prince was a musical genius he could play every instrument very well and sing.
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .

Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and others -- "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" --- just Prince "beasting" on the guitar...
That’s an amazing version of the song. There you have some of THE greatest guitar players of the last fifty years and Prince blows all of them out of the water. For as celebrated as he is, he’s still underrated.
@@TheRealMrAndrew for sure! 👏👏👏

Anything off of Prince's Purple Rain album is a must. He just has so much great stuff to choose from.
the b sides from Purple Rain Could of made a band famous! incredible talent!
@@willfromyadkinville yeah 17 days live at the forum in 2011 is brilliant! 🥺
@@SallyKinley-4prn i am jealous but not mad! kinda wish it was me though! LOL!
Prince's guitar skills are always rated highly but people miss what an amazing voice he has. His range is very wide and he has perfect pitch. His voice is so lovely.
Cant wait to discover from him ❤️
And Prince's bass playing
This is your first Prince song? Oh my oh my, you are in for a treat! Songs like Purple Rain, Cream, Raspberry Beret, and especially When Doves Cry come to mind.
I reeeaaaallly love your passion when listening to this and many of these songs. ❤️🥰
Prince IS my musical hero. There are too many songs to choose from but two of my all time favorites are "Call My Name" and "Shhh". They are well worth a listen, especially "Shhh"!
That small man took a lot of space on stage or wherever he appeared, regardless who stood next to him. But what a performer, and songwriter he was! Loved and missed 🤘
I like the Prince version the best. The rock/gospel feel, the passionate, wailing, goosebump-raising sax solo, etc.
I've been to a lot of concerts in the past and really sad that I never got to see this Legend live, his singing, performing, stage presence and shredding on guitar are next level, he is so missed
Prince was an artist for the ages. He was simply incomparable. You can't go wrong with any Prince music and he wrote so much successful music performed by other artists.
Great reaction Biss!!! You have to do Prince Superbowl performance. It will blow you away. He does alot of good songs.
The group is called Brewer and shipley the
Brewer and shipley they do the song called one toke TOKE1 toke
Apart from the fact that Prince is one of the best guitar artists of all time, his hits are of course "Purple Rain, 1999, When Doves Cry and, and, and ... unforgettable - you want to dance if you can "when doves cry" knocks you off your chair!

Prince Purple Rain could be a double feature on this channel and BissFlix. Probably anything by Prince will hit you hard. His charisma on stage. The deep meaning of most songs. The fun atmosphere his party songs emote. Welcome to Prince. I look forward to seeing more reactions by him. I saw him live 2 or 3 times and each show was differnt by the best experience of my life.
Prince is simply Prince, definitely hearing him sing is always a surprise, there are so many levels of talent and musical lust that we all want more even if we are already fans. 💜 Do more!
So many great choices. "The Cross" might be an eye opener. He evolved so much, brilliant.
Welcome to Prince‘s universum. He was the best. I heard one song at three different evening differently interpreted. He was the best live performer with great arrangements in different genres and a perfect timing.
Whatever you can see live (Motherless Child, Play That Funky Music, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, The Live concerts in Montreux)…watch and be amazed!!!
Little Red Corvette, 1999, When Doves Cry, Let's Go Crazy, Purple Rain, I Wanna Be Your Lover, Kiss, Raspberry Beret, and so much more...
Prince was a musicians musician he had a song in every genre there was nothing he cldnt do...heaven sent...music went silent when he passed...
His Super Bowl performance was amazing.
I’ve been waiting so long for you to start your Prince voyage. Welcome. Strap in. If you thought discovering Queen and Freddie Mercury was life changing, you better get ready for new heights. I saw Prince 16 times in concert. Genius doesn’t really do him justice. Watch him live at the Forum - Play That Funky Music…it will blow you away. Peace.
Prince was a powerhouse in the 80s and has numerous hits. Thank you for reacting to one of his hits. If you wish to continue down the Prince journey, check out: "Purple Rain" or "When Doves Cry".

What an incredible, talented, beautiful soul we were blessed to have for too short of a time. (R.I.P.)
I had the pleasure of seeing the Purple Rain tour, amazing performance.
Let's get crazy from Purple Rain. Great guitar solo.
Amazing reaction as usual.
Keep up the great work...
Prince wrote it... recorded it... gave it to The Family (vocals by St. Paul Peterson) on the Paisley Park label in 1985. Sinead then did her cover & made it famous. Prince reclaimed it by doing live version with Rosie Gaines. Then after his death we finally got to hear his original studio version.
I would strongly recommend do me baby by Prince he has very good vocals even live in the capitol theatre
You're about to enter a wormhole I've been in for 40 plus years!
I have never heard a live performance from Prince where he sang a song the same. Even Purple Rain his biggest song he put a little different sauce every time. ❤ A true artist 😊 I like Sinead the most
Seen him 4 times and it varied from 7-8 minutes to 23-24 min. A thing of beauty each time
"purple rain", a truly masterpiece, you wish it never ends
Prince is definitely the most genius gifted musician/vocalist/song writer of the past thousand years! There wasn’t anything like Prince before, and it’s unlikely there will be anything like Prince ever again.
This just touches the surface of the gifts of Prince. But gradually move into his catalog form Contemporary hits like this, then to Pop hits like Purple Rain and 1999, then to the artsy Sign O The Times, then to the FUNK stuff Dirty Mind etc...
This song was first recorded by The Family, Prince's girlfriend Susannah Melvoin's band. It's definitely worth a listen to hear the original. Lots of great Prince music out there... take your pick.
This isn't a triangle. It's a rectangle. No one is a bigger Prince fan than me, but St. Paul did it best.
@ideastudiowhi8656 St. Paul's version is The Family. He and Susannah were the singers. That's the version I suggested they listen to.
I think Prince's performance in the rain at the Super Bowl XLI halftime show and his performance with a group of guitar legends on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" are a couple of must watch videos.
Prince is a legend. You could take years to really appreciate his contribution to millions of playlists. Lol. Prince was the man RIP
"When Doves Cry" "Purple Rain" "Kiss" "Let's Go Crazy" is a start for Prince
Glad to see you reacted to Prince. To me he's the greatest musician of my generation & there will never be another. His work is endless & he has many great songs. You need to do Purple Rain, Pink Cashmere, I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man, Take Me With You, Wherever You Go Whatever You Do, Take Me With You, Let's Get Crazy, Little Red Corvette, When Doves Cry, Gold & so many others. He's a legend RIP to him
One of my favorites is "Let's Get Crazy." The live scenes were filmed at First Avenue (Club) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the Twin Cities, (Minneapolis/St. Paul) they light up the city in purple every year in Prince's honor. 💜
I LOVE THIS VERSION SO MUCH, TO ME IT WAS THE BEST, Realest
A genius, yet I didn't realize it until he passed. RIP Prince. I wish he wouldn't have left us.
Check out Prince's Super Bowl performance . Purple Rain, outdoors in the rain.
Hi just stumbled in this, and You must see two!
One is Motherless Child by Prince,
And d the second is Question Of U live, with polka dot chest showing suit, short hair version.
They are Mind-blowing and two different versions of HIM! He grew and learned like all of us do and it shows throughout his life!
Prince personified stage presence. "Little Red Corvette" is great. "Purple Rain" and "Let's Go Crazy" show of his exceptional guitar skills.
Prince is an all-timer! Any of the hits already mentioned, but if I had to pick one I’m partial to ‘The Beautiful Ones’ off Purple Rain.
The original recorded version of this song was by a band called The Family. The band included Prince's former fiancee Susannah Melvoin, the twin sister of Prince's guitarist Wendy. This is the version of the song Sinead O'connor listened to that inspired her to cover the song.
PRINCE= G.O.A.T❤
I honestly think, listen to the studio cut by Prince, then this makes more sense .... beautiful anyhow . I saw Prince in Wembley London but actually wished i could have experienced him in a small theatre like this .... lovely smile as always
ALWAYS!!!!!! Do Prince LIVE!!!!!!!!!
Super Bowl Halftime Performance
R.I.P Prince. He wrote this song, that’s why this is my favourite. I don’t dislike the other versions but you asked which one is my favourite. He was a genius xx
Thanks for sharing ❤️
Need to watch little red corvette live
Yesss absolutely While My Guitar Gently Weeps he gets to show off his amazing Guitar skills he was so underrated
Prince is one of the all time greats. Saw him live once and he sounds identical live to how he is on record. Truly a one of a kind. He supposedly could play 27 instruments and was entirely self taught.

Both versions are very different, and completely different to this live version. Worth listening to them all.
I see, thanks for the info ❤️
Also check his Superbowl performance, halftime show 2007. It’s the best Superbowl halftime show ever.
Prince will forever be missed
There's so much to listen to, and he changed his style so much from album to album. Some stuff you may love, others maybe not so much. But it's hard to deny the genius thay he was. I think I had about 25 of his CDs at one point.

Just a warning: Prince reactions may not be possible due to copyrights. His estate is strict on those. U could try live performances 😁
I can suggest a few Prince songs - "When doves cry"... "Sign O' the times"... "Kiss"... 'Purple rain'... 'Little red Corvette'... 'Thieves in the temple'... 🔥🔥
What a wonderful journey you’re about to embark on in discovering Prince. I envy that!
No need to envy, we will do the journey together ❤️
If you never heard Prince before, you MUST watch the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
This song Prince wrote for Sinead O'Connor so like many songs he wrote for other famous artists, when he sings it himself his own style so so amazing a talent. And his background singers adores him so much for he always make them shine on stage with him.
SO many hits, Red Corvette, when the doves cry, kiss, purple rain, raspberry beret, 1999...etc
Sinead O’Connor really made the song her own. That’s my favourite one. But Prince was and is a legend.
Prince originally wrote this for a band called the Family in 1985 who were a collection of his former band members. After Sinead O'Conner made it a worldwide hit in 1990 Prince decided to start performing his own versions in concerts from time to time.

Always fresh reactions, another great video biss, if you ask for a MUST, then Purple Rain is the obvious. Thanks for the video.
Prince & The Revolution - Let's Go Crazy
Ill note that down ❤️
you can't go wrong with any prince tunes. nothing compares to him. pun intended! the 'KISS' performance at the rock and roll hall of fame induction is awesome
"Little Red Corvette", "1999", "Let's Go Crazy", "When Doves Cry", "Purple Rain", " I Want to be Your Lover", "I Would Die 4 U", "Rasberry Beret", these are a good start. He wrote "I Feel For You" made famous by Chaka Khan and he wrote "Manic Monday" made famous by The Bangles. He would do all the instruments in his songs when recording.
On the BBC2 many years ago they had a singing competition which was called Naked Choir. They had different groups on who who were all singing Acapella and competing against each other . There was this one group called Choral Stimulation and they sang this song. The song only lasts for 2 minutes 18 seconds. You really would enjoy that. Happy listening 🎶
All musicians did an amazing version of the song. I love listening to Prince’s take on the song as it was created from a personal space within him and has a lot of soul.
Once you enter the Prince rabbit hole you may never come out.
I’m a long time admirer of his music and have enjoyed all of his albums and 7 concerts. There was nothing like a Prince concert! All walks of life under one roof singing and dancing along with the man, his music, and different incarnations of an always impeccable band of top notch players.
I would recommend Purple Rain live 1985 at the American Music Awards as I feel that embodied the song even more that the official video/scene from the Purple Rain movie which is also the version you would hear from the soundtrack (radio version).
After you familiarize yourself with his catalog I would recommend at some point doing a reaction to the Super Bowl performance (2007) where he does a mashup of songs including Purple Rain. Or you could find Purple Rain (Super Bowl) without the other songs. Avoid the one by NFL that says ‘Downpour’ as I believe it has clips of people telling stories of how much it was storming/raining during the performance and in doing so interrupts the performance.
A great classic song and official video would be ‘Kiss’
Also, a great showcase of his phenomenal guitar playing would be ‘As My Guitar Gently Weeps’ as a tribute to the late great George Harrison (including Tom Petty, Jeff Lynn, Steve Winwood)
There is so many great songs, and each album had a different vibe, and many of his songs are uniquely different from the next, I could go on with recommending songs and videos for a long time but I better stop here.
I’m excited that you have so much great music to unpack! Enjoy the ride, and thank you for the video !
I see, thank you ❤️
There is a 4th version of this track it first appeared on the self titled The Family album on the paisley park label
A great LIVE video of Prince, on America's biggest stage. When the producer told him that it's raining, before he took the stage, he said: "Can you make it rain harder?" - Prince - Super Bowl XLI | Halftime Show 2007
if you can find it, you should check out steve vai's version - it only rarely pops up but usually gets blocked within no more than a day
Prince - The Most Beautiful Girl In the World. The most beautiful song in the world. :)
Anything Prince did was musical genius. You should check out While My Guitar Gently Weeps from the rock and roll hall of fame. He only joined in for guitar on that and killed it!
Prince always. He’s the one that wrote it
Prince's released music is legendary and his live performances often take the songs to another level.
If you're going to do When Doves Cry make sure it's the extended video version.
My suggestion is, and search for this exact term on TH-cam, "Prince - Never Take the Place of Your Man (1987 Sign of the Times concert movie)"
OMG down the rabbit hole we go... 🐰🕳️
When I was about 10-14yrs old, I listened to some r&b, funk, but mostly rock and heavy metal. Then a friend who liked a lot of the same music I did told me to check out Prince Dirty Minds and Controversy albums. This was just as Purple Rain was about to hit theaters.
My mind was blown.
I was lucky to see him perform live at the opening concert in Denver, Colorado of the Under the Cherry Moon (movie) /Parade (soundtrack). Then again in Denver for the Lovesexy tour. The final concert I saw him at was in San Jose, California for the Musicology tour.
Phenomenal every time.
Prince - Cream (Live at Webster Hall) life altering experience
Each person gave something different to this song. They were all done by very talented people. I have to say that my favorite version is the Sinead O'Connor version probably b/c that's the version I first heard and heard the most of.
Just point and click and Prince song…. They all are worthy.
More more Prince
Great reaction Bisscute nothing compare 2 you ❤
Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Prince 👏👌
Hi! First time seeing one of your videos and seeing your reaction to one of my favorite artist was a joy. Pure enjoyment from you, it was great. I suggest listening to Adore. One of my favorite but as others have said he has so many good hits.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it ❤️
💜Prince💜
Prince gave this song to one of his side projects, a band called "The Family" - this version was the first one officially released.
Oh I see ❤️
Purple Rain is the best song ever written in my opinion........Live from this same concert is top quality
