You’ll probably never see a star like this again. Can sing, dance, world class guitarist, act, dress like a star, and is naturally a star without trying. He owns this room full of other “stars.”
@@AC-mp7cx But every human isn't viewed the same as he . Nor should they be and when you make it as a music hero or icon. There's nothing wrong with a little praise if it were you people wouldn't treat like it . Didn't matter or he accomplished nothing.
@@AC-mp7cx Wrong again there were only 4 doing numbers like him Michael Jackson, Prince , George Michael and Maddona. Of course the Beatles and you can throw in Elvis Presley . But Prince at his highest point was doing numbers like Thriller and actually beat Michael Jackson at some award shows. Leave your own comments on your page, I'm a fan no haters over here 😎
We went from performances like this to whatever TF the music award shows are today. Had to come back here after the Grammy's to see what true talent once looked like.
Aint that the truth. It makes you a little sad that you will never see this again and we are left with the demonic morally bankrupt poison that we have today. Well, at least we can watch old clips like this as evidence of better days gave us the glory and majesty of God given talents
@@christophertracy2807 I mean, they thought, Prince was demonic and morally bankrupt back in the day. I remember very specifically my junior high English teacher ranting about this performance the day after.

Same here. I recorded it vhs and kept it for many years. Glad I can still find it here. One of the best live versions of this sone I’ve seen. Killed it!
I remember very well. I was in the 5th grade as well. I knew then he was one one very different and special. My whole family were Prince fans, including me. This was epic and ICONIC. 💜☔️♐️
Well since we are dating ourselves I was in the 8th grade when I saw this. I have to say to this very day i get moved to tears whenever I see him perform this song. Can't wait to see him at the big jam session in the sky!
Prince was the ONE performer from the 80s that not only met expectation in those BIG stage moments but he could absolutely transcend those expectations and just leave the stage in ashes... which is why still it's astonishing for me to hear that some of his music peers don't peg him higher on the list of greatest guitarists.
I took a bus for an hour to buy this cassette tape when I was 14. It was the first cassette I ever owned. 35 years later and it still sends chills down my spine when I hear this song. RIP Prince -Baby you're a star.💜
incredible. love from the other side of the globe. i keep going back to this video when I wanna feel the power of real music. just so much passion in one video.
this is Prince at his PEAK POWERS. 27 years old right after the major Success of his major movie "Purple Rain" What a time in American Music history:) LEGENDARY
No for real though. This song tackles three different types of relationship dynamics (romantic, professional and family relationships) in one, shows raw vulnerability, an insane falsetto AND gave us THAT guitar solo? Easily one of the greatest songs.
He sang with 1000% of His heart 😭 my God... Prince is Soooooooooooo CRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZYYYYYY TALENTED. *speechless if I was there to witness this performance....
This is the prime of the period when Prince was just beating the shit out of everyone - including Micheal Jackson who was getting all the awards. NO ONE could touch him on anything. Simply invincible, glorious, magical, awe-inspiring and cool as hell.
and yet purple rain only sold 20 million copies while Thriller reached over 70 million. Thriller 37 weeks #1, Purple Rain 24. They just used Michael Jackson to promote that guy. But to this day there is no debate.
This is what a Genius looks like. Incredible! A extraordinary talent at this level only comes once every century. To those who were around in the 80s, how lucky we are to see and hear this. ❤️
....and just think for a second about how this man literally played EVERY instrument on his debut album approx. 6 years BEFORE this😮😮! Prince showed the world what a truly talented lover of music was. Decades later.... still ❤ him and his art.....
I was just graduating High School in 85 and watched this award show live. When Lionel introduced Prince I hit record on the VCR. I watched this everyday for 3 years! What a performance! He was the baddest Cat ever! He crushes that guitar in the end!!!!!!! Still loving it all these yrs later!!!!!
Star, legend, deep soul, fantastic, the best artist, great art , good mood, style fashion, hair, voice, the best sounds, love music, love Europe, US 🥳😍☺️💋🥥🦋😊🤗💫✨🎼🎬forever show
Wow, thank you for pointing this out. You’re so right. What a beautiful moment. Captured, capitalized on, expressed, performed perfectly, and immortalized forever by Prince. The Purple One.
After the orgasmic solo, he falls to the floor with his eyes close, at 6:42 he opens his eyes and take a quick pick at the audience, he sees the standing ovation, the whole place feels the electricity on the air, he knows he made history. The real king of the 80s.
@@kamfisher1714 really? a lip syncer that NEVER sung live is your king? how sad. MJ din't even knew the name of the musical instruments, he could not put up a microphone by himself.
@@ALSILVERU2 Didn’t know a stan knew more than the FBI and Santa Barbara police department. Not guilty, if you want to nitpick. You should’ve stole prince not to taken in 16 year old in house.
@@horrorpowerfilms9481 He sung live, he lip synced because he was singing since the age of 5, due to him selling out arenas while Prince was in middle school. 🤣🤣🤣 Nuff said.
I still cry when I remember that he's gone, especially after seeing the recently released video of him being interviewed at 11 years old. We get to see the legend before he was, after his passing.
Every time I look at this video and the guitar solo starts, I can't help but cry. What a music legend, we'll never have another Prince and that's so sad.
I remember seeing this on TV when it actually aired back in 1985 and it BLEW MY MIND! I had been digging Prince as he was all over the radio at that point, but I had never seen anything like this stellar performance! He totally owned this American Music Awards and proved beyond any doubt that he was more than just a fluke or talentless wanna-be. He was the real deal and I became a huge and total fan for life. Still listening and appreciating his massive talent 37 years later.
PRINCE swagger to this day the 8th Anniversary of his passing, it UNTOUCHED. when everything Fails *MUSIC* will always Lift you Up. Continue to Rest in eternal peace PRINCE amen.❤
Agreed. I think it’s the best. I just haven’t seen another with this classic line up and overall electricity that this one had. Plus it was fairly perfect with the studio version except one slight lyric mis cue. And the solo was just ripping good. Great tone and he was just on. When he kicked that mic stand over…gave me chills.
Imagine been in your regular award show and Prince plays Purple Rain with a crazy guitar solo and a climax that ends with Prince on the floor, this thing will never happen today, never ever.
Why does this touch my soul? I remember being obessed with this song when I was a child! Princes was freaking amazing and still can't believe he's gone!
@@bolder2009 Totally agree, Prince might have the complete top 5 best tv performances ever. Halftime show, Hall of Fame, Arsenio Hall and even the Grammys.
The night before I heard about Prince passing I dreamed I was in a stadium people were coming in and all of a sudden Prince was right there on the stage but he was young wearing his purple outfit playing and singing Purple Rain nobody else on the stage..... I wake up my daughter is crying omg Mom Prince died.... 😭☔🙏🏽✝️🕊
I have yet to come across a better performed and captured moment of musical brilliance and triumphant human excellence. This is beyond exceptionally awesome. This is like, every once in a while, God puts a human on Earth and says, “Watch this...” R.I.P. 🌹
I was 10, sitting in the floor of my mom’s living room watching this on the floor model color TV. I was on my feet screaming by the end. There will NEVER be another Prince.
This is when I think the entire music world realized this dude was going to have to be reckoned with! He was a once in a generational talent. His raw talent combined with his work ethic was unparalleled.
@@AC-mp7cx Hahaha WHAT!!???... Next you'll be telling us "most of the world" didn't know Michael Jackson... I've already seen you make stupid comments on another post in this video. Just because you were under a rock, doesn't mean everyone else was. 🤡
I grew up on Prince. I was in Las Vegas the day he passed away. The sunset was purple that night and I cried like a baby on my hotel balcony blasting this song. Never was hit hard by a famous persons death until that moment. Thank you Prince for all the amazing music and memories.
Agree with Gary Peters comment. Nothing will ever top this. Prince was a genius. His catalogue of songs got me through a lot of pain. One of the most intelligent and interesting men from a world of music. In my opinion.. Long live the absolute King 💜
You mean Prince was produced by others? you mean he din't write his own music? you mean he din't play any instruments? Because THAT WAS MJ LEVEL, a no talent Milli Vanilli. Wait!! at least Milli Vanilli weren't privilege industry insiders.
@@kevinortiz602 so if a guy who just dances and sings is equally talented as a guy who plays 55 instruments, dances, sings and write his own music, "equally" doesn't mean s**t.
@@horrorpowerfilms9481 I don't like Michael Jackson that much but I have to admit that he had a great talent for singing and dancing, he was a genius at making instantly captivating songs
Remembering every time I saw Prince in concert. This man wrote the soundtrack to my life. No one could ever replace his artistry. Rest in your purple greatness💜
@4:48-4:54 The sound of the guitar's moving through his hands and face. The sound of the bass and drums moving through his body and steps. Just looking at him in this time stamp to me he is completely embodying the music 🎵🎶🎵
Agreed. Reminded me of Hendrix when he would be on with his solo and just reaching back for more. Pouring everything you have into it. You have no soul if you can watch this and not be moved.
He put his everything in this bit, literally brought the house down, man o my, we love Prince, your awesome music will always live on while those(us) will continue to jam, r.i.p King of rock/pop
I haven’t watched this Grammy performance since I was fourteen. I’m now fifty and it gave me as many goosebumps and tears as it did in 1985. Those outfits they’re all wearing look fantastic. Just so beautiful to watch and listen to.
No one has ever been better. Before, during or since. No one ever will be. There was only one Prince Rogers Nelson, and he made sure we got to experience him.
I know every generation thinks their music is the best, but you have to admit this generation is tough to beat.
I didn't realize it was a contest.
U Are Absolutely Correct, I was 24 this is My Music, MJ, Madonna So Many!!!
I truly feel sorry for anyone who wasn't around to witness Prince and the '80s in real time. It was magical.
Yes absolutely he was amazing
Absolutely !
it was magical till 1986 when the the revolutuion spilt i left
I wish I was alive in the 80s 🙁
My absolutely favorite song ever. I have to say I LOVE GROWING UP IN THE 80'S

Gotta be the most moving performance to see, hear and feel in person. Incredible every time I search for this on TH-cam, moving every time.
Agree with Gary Peters comment. Nothing will ever top this. Prince was a genius. His catalogue of songs got me through a lot of pain. One of the most intelligent and interesting men from a world of music. In my opinion.. Long live the absolute King 💜
The worlds most talented singer! RIH♥️
For anybody that says Prince wasn't on Michael's level simply don't know music! Prince was no joke! R.I.P to the 2 goats!!!!
You mean Prince was produced by others? you mean he din't write his own music? you mean he din't play any instruments? Because THAT WAS MJ LEVEL, a no talent Milli Vanilli. Wait!! at least Milli Vanilli weren't privilege industry insiders.
@@horrorpowerfilms9481 The two had different talents but equally talented.
@@kevinortiz602 so if a guy who just dances and sings is equally talented as a guy who plays 55 instruments, dances, sings and write his own music, "equally" doesn't mean s**t.
@@horrorpowerfilms9481 I don't like Michael Jackson that much but I have to admit that he had a great talent for singing and dancing, he was a genius at making instantly captivating songs
@@kevinortiz602 you know MJ din't do a single thing on his albums, right? he din't even play the maracas.
In another universe somewhere, Prince is the King Of Pop.
Remembering every time I saw Prince in concert. This man wrote the soundtrack to my life. No one could ever replace his artistry. Rest in your purple greatness💜
I am so right there with you!! I tell my friends all the time Prince is the soundtrack of my life!! My favorite artist of all time!!
Nothing compare with you master PRINCE
Maybe David Boqwie ;)
a real live performance no one greater
Too hit those high notes at the end with pitch perfection is all that’s required to see the greatness.
80s was the golden age for guitarists. prince and eddie dancing and making their guitars sing
@4:48-4:54 The sound of the guitar's moving through his hands and face. The sound of the bass and drums moving through his body and steps. Just looking at him in this time stamp to me he is completely embodying the music 🎵🎶🎵
Agreed. Reminded me of Hendrix when he would be on with his solo and just reaching back for more. Pouring everything you have into it. You have no soul if you can watch this and not be moved.
He put his everything in this bit, literally brought the house down, man o my, we love Prince, your awesome music will always live on while those(us) will continue to jam, r.i.p King of rock/pop
A musical genius. Love you Prince. That audience was dead.
By far the best 7 minutes of video I've seen on TH-cam... just saying
This and Bowie in Berlin singing heroes.
Such amazing talent.. A legend RIP!

Timeless performance ✨️🎶
I haven’t watched this Grammy performance since I was fourteen. I’m now fifty and it gave me as many goosebumps and tears as it did in 1985.
Those outfits they’re all wearing look fantastic. Just so beautiful to watch and listen to.
It was actually the American Music Awards.
@edgerunnerproduction Facts I still got the Vhs 1985 what a great year 😊
you're about to see. the reason why he's a legend 💜💜💜
Untouchable performance and artist..
U know he felt EVERY note he hit and the spirt of the music flowed thru in day in and day out.
No one has ever been better. Before, during or since. No one ever will be. There was only one Prince Rogers Nelson, and he made sure we got to experience him.
The one and only 🐐
How in the hell were those people able to stay seated during this performance? Incredible. RIP Prince. The one and only.
I was thinking the same thing! How could they sit all the way through that performance?!
One of the GREATEST performances

A true legend. There will be no other like him.
