RIP for sure... I don't know why but losing Sinead today and the reminder of losing Prince (the day the music died if you ask me)... really makes me so sad. Definitely the nice times of our lives... Miss them all, MJ, George Michaels, Prince and now her
And to think this video is of a REHEARSAL!!! Now it is even .more evident why his actual love shows were so damn energetic... The man didn't know how NOT to be a fully energized entertainer be it before hundreds of thousands of people or just practicing with his band! Love forever to arguably the best all out entertainer that I have ever known in my 40+ years in Earth. Singer, song writer, dancer, performer, influencer, mentor, and philanthropist ... 1 year gone and missed like we were related. 😪
I grew up only a couple of miles from Prince's stomping grounds. I had numerous encounters with him as it was inevitable in the relatively small town of Chanhassen. He watched me pitch a little league game from underneath a tree at Lake Ann park near his home. I delivered pizzas to his house and to his studio numerous times when I was in high school. I was witness to his intimate late night impromptu shows at Paisley Park more times than I can count on two hands. Anyone who might suggest that he isn't the greatest live performer of all time simply hasn't seen him in concert.
Prince, has one of the most amazing vocal ranges in history, 6 octaves. He wrote so many famous songs and just gave many of them away. Played appropriately 27 instruments. Known for his intellect and talent. A true legend.
Folks I will say it again, you have it reversed, Prince is not covering this song, Prince wrote Nothing Compares 2 U in 1984, Sinead did her cover version in 1990. Here are some other songs you may not be aware of that Prince wrote, and either gave away, or that were covered by other artists. The list is huge, these are just a few. Manic Monday covered by the Bangles, this song was originally recorded as a duet with Apollonia, and some of the music/backup vocals by Brenda Bennet are still in place on The Bangles released version. I Feel For You covered by Chaka Khan, written by Prince in 1979 and released on his 2nd album of that same year. He gave a song called With This Tear to Celine Dion. The Glamorous Life and Love Bizarre on Sheila E's albums (and 95% of the other songs on those albums), is all Prince. Same for The Time with Jungle Love and The Bird. He gave a song called U to Paula Abdul for her Spellbound album. Sugar Walls was a song of his that he gave to Sheena Easton. For the song Stand Back, Stevie asked him to come to the studio to listen to the song, and that is where in 25 minutes, Prince laid out the entire keyboard track for the song, that is him playing on the track. Could go on forever, Prince was everywhere in music, most of which he never took credit for or cared to brag about. Peace
This makes me cry. I dont care what anyone says, Prince was such a rarity. I still cry over his loss. He understood more than people realised. It wasnt just as a black man, but so much more. He seen his mother abused, he'd been abused, felt like an outsider to his own race at times and his own sexuality. To me as a part Native American woman whom always have felt as an outsider to all parts of herself, Prince helped me to accept my uniqueness. To embrace my ownself and be open and acceptining of love and friendship. I will forever mourn such a amazing human being. He was a person for all people
Boy Jules oh shut up! How many black men wore heels and makeup and were comfortable with being that way and straight especially back then? You are reaching!!!!
His loss hit alot of people hard. He was one of a kind, and irreplaceable. Prince is who inspired my love of music. Thanos to my mom I have loved Princes music since I heard his Purple Rain album. RIP💜💜
Prince attempted to assault her (physically, not sexually) during a meeting because of something he didn't like about it. But you think some 5 foot 1 American geezer is going to get the best of a anybody who grew up in Ireland during the troubles? Not a chance. Doesn't sound like he was the best person ever. Sinead was a gem though, a beautiful soul with more troubles than Ireland, maybe she finally be at peace
@@leighlowe1069 As @brian5307 wrote, she was born and raised in and near Dublin in the south, so she didn't grow up in the Troubles, though she had a tough childhood. You should read her biography.
Prince never released it, therefore Sinead O'connor's version is not a cover. During an interview, Prince expressed that Sinead's version is the Definitive version.
@VillaDan Doesn't have to be released to be covered. Prince recorded the version you're listening to in 1984, Sinead covered it, amazingly well, in 1990. Tbh, the best version of this song anyway, is by Chris Cornell in 2015, for Lithium. Well worth downloading from here 👍
It's my personal opinion that Prince was likely the most complete rock star we've ever had the pleasure of listening to and be entertained by -- he was an elite-level singer, songwriter, instrumentalist (of multiple instruments), composer, producer, lyricist, dancer, performer, choreographer, and showman. A very few in the history of late 20th and early 21st Century western pop music (all genres from rock, R&B, C&W, soul, hard rock, metal, and so on) can claim to score straight-A's on all of those categories -- Prince is one of those few and may, in fact, be the only one who can.
@@thewaywelive2775 Why don't you do some research on people who project passive-aggressive behavior towards those they don't feel comfortable with and come back with the results. You might learn something interesting about yourself in the process.
Only a handful of musicians can write multiple hit singles. Only a handful of musicians can play flawless lead guitar. Only a handful of musicians have an octave range of G1 to G7. Only a handful of musicians can move like an acrobat. VERY few musicians can do any of these things WELL. Prince did them all... At. The. Same. Time. His genius is unequaled.
Calvin Cheney - Actually, that’s the downside of acrobatics on heels. He was on those painkillers because of chronic pain, particularly in his hips. The man could not move without excruciating agony. His OD was because he was given a counterfeit prescription that was mixed with fentanyl, an opioid 30 to 50 times stronger than heroin. The man didn’t have a chance.
Prince may be the greatest all around artist. The electric guitar, the exquisite song-writing, the pitch-perfect, instantly recognizable voice and, probably most importantly, those DANCE MOVES! I'm 36, too young to truly know Prince, but he was definitely a genius.
I'm 35 so likewise, I'll never be able to know Prince the way people who grew up with him. But you know what? We have the time to get to know the history and thankfully we get high quality videos like this ♥
Those dancemoves, unnecessary if you ask me, ultimately 'killed' him. Pelvisproblems, strong painkillers and ultimately the fatal unintended overdose....
I am of an age to remember him very well but not listening at the time. His death hit me like brick and won’t forget where I was. Saddest news, listening now I wish I had heard him sooner. He has gone from us, rest in peace beautiful child and thank you for the cream of the crop, priceless talent
I had always heard this song was written by Prince. But because we have lost Sine’ade I decided to see if Prince actually sang the song and I found this video. His voice is hauntingly beautiful. Prince was incredibly talented. I saw him in 1984 in Lakeland Florida. Best concert I’ve ever seen. May God rest both of their souls.
I love the sax and the dancing and it's quite a different but beaut version of Price performing it I definitely love love his song Purple Rain Great Artist. 🎶🎶🎸
Prince Rogers Nelson, what a musical and instrumental genius! Such an underrated guitarist and lyricist. He taught himself how to play 27 different instruments!!! 27!!! I cant even name that many. I hope he found peace in heaven that he couldn't find on Earth. RIP dear Prince.
@@nathanrobbin6341 hes extremely underrated!! If you listen to experts talking about the greatest guitarists of all time, his name isn't even mentioned. Clapton, Hendrix, Page, etc. All the usual suspects but never The Purple One. His guitar playing was absolutely breathtaking.
Befor caping on a person cause of spelling find out about them befor ruleing He made it yes but samples it first befor she sang it hello that's what I was saying .I'm handy cap and people like you treat me like I'm dumb ok I'm dumb but you are a fucktard
The precision, the vitality, the youth: what a time to have been alive and enjoying the man's music and artistry! This brings back such great memories from that time...
He was something to behold live during his earlier career! Raw insane unleashed sexuality mixed with spirituality.. it was life changing to see him live.
I was so glad to be living in Minneapolis when he passed. Nothing compares to the love the whole city showed when he passed. The whole city was purple to celebrate his life. He was too ahead of his time with everything. His music, his style and how humble he was.
“All the flowers that you planted, mama, in the backyard... all died when you went away”... there’s so much vulnerability in this line alone, it hurts😢
Awsome Vincent - my favorite Prince is early, early Prince - when he was hungry to make it. I love him to death, but the early years are my favorite, you can totally feel it 💜
Absolutely mind-blowing! Prince's original version of 'Nothing Compares 2 U' is a testament to his unparalleled songwriting talent. While many know this song from Sinead O'Connor's powerful rendition, hearing Prince's soulful vocals is a deeply moving experience. The raw emotion and vulnerability he brings to the lyrics are simply breathtaking. It's a reminder of his incredible range as an artist and his ability to connect with listeners on a profound level. Thank you, Prince, for sharing this timeless masterpiece with the world. Your music continues to touch hearts and souls. 👑🎶
@@davidb9531you could say that it's better mixed in the studio, better overall sound and a beautiful voice performance from Sinead. But technically, musically, this is more sophisticated.
@assorita3861 exactly, and some people don't even know that it was prince song and he sang it. So all they know is her version, but they have to listen to PRINCE SING IT. Wow, AMAZING !!!!
SAME! I was like omg how is a prince song more known by a different artist?!? I whole heartedly feel like sinead was the one, if anyone else, to make this such an iconic hit.
I was never that keen on the famous version, I couldn't get past the coldness of it. This is the first time I've heard this, it's so incredible, so REAL! 💜
Not only did Prince write songs, but he played most instruments and produced music. His hands-on approach gave creative power back to artists. By taking full control over the direction of his work, Prince was able to shape the sounds that still influence countless musicians to this very day. Prince's multifaceted talent on numerous instruments was crucial to his musical legacy. He created a unique sound that blended funk, rock, pop, and R&B elements, and his virtuosic playing was a key part of that sound. 2:34 [Indie Band Guru; Olimpus Music]
People on here praising O’Connor when the video is about Prince! Maybe their praises of her need to belong on her video of her doing the song. You don’t need to be butt hurt over a Prince fan praising him - he was a genius, she wasn’t. The end!
@@kuroneko7022 As Marlus Albergius would say: "One thing is one thing and another thing is another thing. It is wise not to confuse Jeremiah with Zechariah" 2:36
I'd be honored if some Prince & Michael Jackson fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of MONEY DONT MATTER 2 NIGHT and MAN IN THE MIRROR on my channel in tribute to these 2 giants of popular music who had an amazing rivalry with each other. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
I recently got into prince and wow. The man was talented. Flamboyant and strong. It sucks that I’m liking his work when he’s gone but I can still indulge myself in his work and even appreciate gems like these. I might have not grown up with you but I can grow old listening to you. You are missed.
That's so very cool to hear, good on you! And wow, you are in for the trip of your life! Getting into his music is life changing, in a good purple way. O(+> 4ever
Discovering prince is like discovering a massive treasure chest .. i been a fan since 1993 when i heard PEACH ob radio an got a copy of the single an the. Ended up getting THE HITS 1 an 2 an then knowing that i had to check out eveeything the giy ever done before an after an i did .. some albums are al9t better than others but theres gems on em all
Prince is a musical genius. He worked on music continuously day and night. It's said that he has thousands of unreleased songs. He has made an impact on the music industry that will always be remembered.
This was really interesting to find. I came here because of Sinead passing away and wanted to give Prince due respect for what was his creation. Its really interesting to see it being performed here so early - he mixed it up over the years in his concerts, but I like hearing what it sounded like in his mind not long after he'd written it. Beautiful product of not only Sinead but Prince too. A wonderful partnership.
This has brought me peace, and changed my perception of the vault material. But seeing him smile and have fun makes me realize that he lived his entire doing what he loved. Not just creating music for us, but to see him just enjoy himself when no one was listening is the greatest gift that I could have gotten. Thank you Prince, you knew why you were keeping these gems locked away, because you knew we would need them while you were gone.
I once had the opportunity to attend an event where his drummer, Bobby Z, spoke about him and described that although Prince had more natural talent in his little finger than most could ever dream, he was also an extremely hard worker. He just worked, worked, worked to perfect what he wanted each song to be, sound like, look like .... So much love for this human being.
The best part of this song when Prince sings it is the verse ( All the flowers that you planted mama , in the back yard , ……. All died when you went away ) the somber feel of that verse makes your heart drop into your stomach & makes you hang your head in sorrow . It’s like he was crying when he spoke it . You truly feel his pain .
Goodness, how beautiful! What a lovely surprise! Two years to the day after Prince’s shocking, tragic, & untimely passing, the timely release of this wonderful song is a poignant reminder of his unique, outstanding talent as a songwriter and musician. The accompanying rehearsal footage is a testament to Prince’s prowess as a dancer and performer, as well as reflecting his impressive commitment & relentless work ethic. As many fans have expressed already here, I find it very moving to watch this priceless rehearsal footage, whilst listening to Prince’s emotive original version of this classic song. Appropriately for me on this 2nd anniversary of his passing, this is a song about love, loss, abandonment, and especially about missing that somebody so very special that one truly adores. Lyrically I think it is one of Prince’s most accomplished compositions, conveying his broken-heartedness so very potently (‘Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling’). For many years I had been under the impression that his love for Susannah had inspired Prince to write this amazing song, but apparently Susan Rogers seems to think that it was written about his housekeeper (Sandy Scipioni) back in the early eighties that had left his employ due to a bereavement. Listening now to this beautiful song about loss & yearning, all I can say is she must have been one heckuva housekeeper! :) Having heard Prince sing it so powerfully and emotively on many occasions live, it is absolutely amazing now to reflect that he was still singing so passionately about this woman so many years later. I haven’t heard any of this recording of NC2U before, so it’s completely new to me. I thought that Chris Cornell recorded a pretty good version as a tribute to Prince, but to my ears this original recording totally eclipses that, the Family’s rendition and Sinead’s hit version too. How many dislikes of this already though?! Sheesh, I didn’t realize Sinead had so many TH-cam accounts! :) This rendition probably has a more rock orientated arrangement than I expected, though this, coupled with Prince's expressive vocals, still masterly renders the song hugely emotional and soulful. Right from the start the keyboard part surprised me. To me it sounds strangely frail and vulnerable, almost like it is an old failing Casio. For some strange reason it kinda made me think initially of John Lennon (say like 'Imagine/I am the Walrus'). This recording precedes Prince’s fine ‘Around the World in a Day’ album, which coincidentally is an album, which I had incorrectly thought was influenced by the Beatles. I have since fairly recently read a quote from Prince, which seems to dispel any such notion. It’s interesting to me how wildly I can misinterpret Prince’s work and influences, even after all these years being obsessively immersed in his music. The initial burst of guitar came as another surprise to me. It’s nice to have Clare Fischer’s string arrangements complimenting the song (albeit buried not very prominently in the mix), and I think Eric does his usual fine job, embellishing with his sax solo, before the superb ‘all the flowers that you planted mama in the backyard’ bridge. To me this rehearsal footage is genuinely stunning and a joy to savor, as Prince demonstrates his natural gift for dynamic dancing, with spins, splits, & some pretty nifty footwork…all in 3 inch heels no less! 3:57 Awesome! :) And we even get to see Prince rocking a fur coat just like my momma used to wear when I was a lil’ kid! Awww, sweet! :) I gotta give props to Wendy and Mark for managing to keep up with those steps whilst playing in the clip, which is no mean feat. Prince worked the band so hard, that Bobby’Z not even allowed to sit down on the job, whilst drumming! :) I like the moments where he seems to tease Wendy with the mike, and it’s great & life-affirming for me to see him having fun, doing what he loved (playing fantastic music & dancing). There are a few really cute smiles from him too for us to enjoy. If this is any indication of the jewels in Prince’s vault, we fans still have a lot to look forward to. Nothing compares 2 Prince…something those of us who love him to bits certainly don’t need reminding. Two years ago today we lost Prince, leaving many of us feeling bereft, ‘like a bird without a song’. Thankfully we still have the cherished gift of his fantastic, funky music to love on. Like so many folks around the world I miss him terribly. I hope & pray that he is now at Home with the Lord in ‘a better place’, God-willing. At this solemn time of year for diehard fans, it is thoughtful and generous of his Estate & Warners to release this exquisite song and precious video footage. Thank-you so much for sharing this absolute gem with us!
Thank you for putting in to words (& so eloquently) how legions of fans out there are feeling. The anniversary is a tough one to get through. This release is incredible. We will never stop missing our Prince.
Losing Prince Rogers Nelson was a genuine loss for the world. He was truly a musical genius. He is our Beethoven. He is our Mozart. Thank God he recorded so much of his work and kept it. We may have lost the man, but we are blessed to still have countless hours of his music the world has never known. In the years to come, we can still hear new renditions of his brilliance.
Prince was one of the singular geniuses, not just of his generation but of popular music as a whole. His songs readily combined the spiritual and the sensual in a way nobody has done quite that well before or since. He transcended race, gender, and genre effortlessly.
I was terribly saddened by his passing. the industry will have a significant loss. I also believe the story told concerning his death is not the FULL story
RIP to both Prince and Sinead. I lost my sister in 2015 and lost my brother this January 2023, both to mental illness. So I understand the struggle. Miss them so much. Lost them and all my fav artists. Michael Jackson, Prince, Sinead, Whitney and more. No longer do they have to live in anxious pain or have to wander.
This brings tears to my eyes. So beautiful to hear his version of his song but to see him prepare to rule the world is amazing too. But the biggest part is, i miss him so much. The world is so empty without Prince here in it. The song is so true, when it comes to Prince, “Nothing Compares 2 U” 😢😭💜
He was precious. He had such a hard road. Knowing all his struggles.. I have so much respect for all that he did meanwhile enduring hardships. He made it look easy and yet deep down his personal journey in life was anything but. ❤️
Prince looks so young and vibrant in the rehearsal footage. He had no idea that he was a legend in the making. Prince was always so pretty and handsome until the very end of his life. He aged like fine wine, but it was very obvious that he was feeling tired and weary in his spirit 2wards the end of his last days. 💜 It seemed like he became very lonely, restless and bored at the very end of his life journey in this world. God Bless His Beautiful Soul 💜
RIP Prince (June 7, 1958 - April 21, 2016), aged 57 RIP Chris Cornell (July 20, 1964 - May 18, 2017), aged 52 RIP RIP Sinéad O'Connor (December 8, 1966 - July 26, 2023), aged 56 You will be remembered as legends.
RebelThoughts82 You think that “No Doubt” is the most talented of the past 40 years? Yes, I think Gwen Staffani is pretty talented, but the most talented? I don’t know about that one. What about David Bowie? What about Bruce Springsteen? What about Nirvana? What about The Clash? What about Prince? What about Michael Jackson? I believe that all of these are more talented than No Doubt, but I still value your opinion. Peace
Yessss! Right? He wrote this song, Sinead made a SMASH hit out of it, but when you compare it to Prince singing it, it doesnt measure up. Dude was talented like no other, and in a style ALL his own. 🤜🤛
One of the cutest faces to have ever walked this Earth. His sweet little smile, his big bright eyes, his suave deep voice, his wit, his incredible skills. He was one of a kind. RIP dear P.

Thank you for the work you put into this channel. I love listening to interviews. The anniversary of his passing is in a few days, feeling a bit emotional.
Thank you, prince for shining for being a great artist for bringing everyone closer together. I really miss you we all really miss you. Thank you for being there for us. God bless you, prince.
My mom was a big fan of prince. She died this thursday to Covid-19. And now i find myself drowning in this music. Wish i had delved further into her favorite music.
An artist,.... A visionary,.... The Main State of what we had. I know others came and went, so to them I say the same for the "late" Prince: God bless you, and may He keep you. Rest In Peace ☮ ☮ ☮ ☮ 🕊 🕊 🕊 🕊💜💜💜💜
Thank you for posting this video it makes me smile when I see him dancing and singing. Prince know that your truest fans will never let you die, you will live forever, always in our hearts.

Danielle LaCroix and jump so high on it (5 inches heels)
Absolutely 💜😉
No mention of the ass-less chaps?
It's wonderful to see Prince with all that youthful energy. Thank you Prince - nothing compares to you.
Kind of what I was thinking lol I felt like it's ironic as I was listening.
Glad the woman beater junkie is in hell the whole 4 feet of him
That footwork, those smiles, his playfulness, his unending drive to give us the best of him, we will carry this forward. This was Prince. 💜💜💜
And to think this video is of a REHEARSAL!!! Now it is even .more evident why his actual love shows were so damn energetic... The man didn't know how NOT to be a fully energized entertainer be it before hundreds of thousands of people or just practicing with his band!

*live, not love. Damn autocorrect!!
Wish I had been there too to sing and dance with him whilst he created magic. Thank you always Prince, rest in peace xxx
Superb
I grew up only a couple of miles from Prince's stomping grounds. I had numerous encounters with him as it was inevitable in the relatively small town of Chanhassen. He watched me pitch a little league game from underneath a tree at Lake Ann park near his home. I delivered pizzas to his house and to his studio numerous times when I was in high school. I was witness to his intimate late night impromptu shows at Paisley Park more times than I can count on two hands. Anyone who might suggest that he isn't the greatest live performer of all time simply hasn't seen him in concert.

@@Nezzer57yes but it was never released, so it basically ended up being a song performed by Sinead, written by Prince, she didn't cover it!

@@Nezzer57 nobody did it like her (Sinead) when u listen to Sinead is pure sentiment.
It's my personal opinion that Prince was likely the most complete rock star we've ever had the pleasure of listening to and be entertained by -- he was an elite-level singer, songwriter, instrumentalist (of multiple instruments), composer, producer, lyricist, dancer, performer, choreographer, and showman.
A very few in the history of late 20th and early 21st Century western pop music (all genres from rock, R&B, C&W, soul, hard rock, metal, and so on) can claim to score straight-A's on all of those categories -- Prince is one of those few and may, in fact, be the only one who can.
he is my favourite musician/artist of all time. He was the total package!
I love Prince..am not typical fan am 89 yr old lady..just sorry i never saw him in person...have spent many hours on utube enjoying PRINCE...RIP???
@Mr Somebody that's a rude thing to say
@Mr Somebody When people unnecessarily lash out at people it's usually a sign of poor selfesteem. Are you okay there buddy? You need a hug?
@@thewaywelive2775 Why don't you do some research on people who project passive-aggressive behavior towards those they don't feel comfortable with and come back with the results. You might learn something interesting about yourself in the process.
Only a handful of musicians can write multiple hit singles.
Only a handful of musicians can play flawless lead guitar.
Only a handful of musicians have an octave range of G1 to G7.
Only a handful of musicians can move like an acrobat.
VERY few musicians can do any of these things WELL.
Prince did them all... At. The. Same. Time.
His genius is unequaled.
While wearing heels! That’s Prince for you. Only Prince, no one else.
Well said, G Wilson. Well said. #RIP
Don't forget the producing, arranging, and playing all the other instruments, too!
and got so high it kilt him... damn it~
Calvin Cheney - Actually, that’s the downside of acrobatics on heels. He was on those painkillers because of chronic pain, particularly in his hips. The man could not move without excruciating agony.
His OD was because he was given a counterfeit prescription that was mixed with fentanyl, an opioid 30 to 50 times stronger than heroin. The man didn’t have a chance.
he looks so free and in his element here , you can see the fun and excitement in his expressions , beautiful footage of the maestro in full flow .
oh absolutely simply flawless
Prince may be the greatest all around artist. The electric guitar, the exquisite song-writing, the pitch-perfect, instantly recognizable voice and, probably most importantly, those DANCE MOVES! I'm 36, too young to truly know Prince, but he was definitely a genius.
I’m 21, so even younger than you, but I love Prince so much and agree that he’s one of a kind ❤
I'm 35 so likewise, I'll never be able to know Prince the way people who grew up with him. But you know what? We have the time to get to know the history and thankfully we get high quality videos like this ♥
Those dancemoves, unnecessary if you ask me, ultimately 'killed' him. Pelvisproblems, strong painkillers and ultimately the fatal unintended overdose....
I am of an age to remember him very well but not listening at the time. His death hit me like brick and won’t forget where I was. Saddest news, listening now I wish I had heard him sooner. He has gone from us, rest in peace beautiful child and thank you for the cream of the crop, priceless talent
Prince, he was born to do exactly what he did. And man, didn't he do it well?
Jasper Johnson yes. Yes he did!
Yes! And That's why he is an ICON...!!!...
word brother!!
he did it better than anyone yet to come , or anyone in the future,,nothing compares to him,,ever,
Oh he passed with flying colors, God knows❤❤❤
Nothing compares to Prince. Incredible.
He could dance, and I was a professional ballet dancer, "Sigh, I understand his pain."
There will NEVER be ANOTHER LIKE PRINCE 💜0(+>💜
"its been so lonely without u like a bird without a song".....so true PRINCE... I'm so lonely without you
I had always heard this song was written by Prince. But because we have lost Sine’ade I decided to see if Prince actually sang the song and I found this video. His voice is hauntingly beautiful. Prince was incredibly talented. I saw him in 1984 in Lakeland Florida. Best concert I’ve ever seen. May God rest both of their souls.
That was the year he wrote this song.
I think I like Prince’s version better.
He originally wrote it for a group called 'The Family,' which hit the charts in the early 80s.
I love the sax and the dancing and it's quite a different but beaut version of Price performing it
I definitely love love his song Purple Rain Great Artist. 🎶🎶🎸
@@lindajones8101this version is garbage he can't sing 😂
Prince Rogers Nelson, what a musical and instrumental genius! Such an underrated guitarist and lyricist. He taught himself how to play 27 different instruments!!! 27!!! I cant even name that many. I hope he found peace in heaven that he couldn't find on Earth. RIP dear Prince.
Prince is anything but a underrated guitar player

@@nathanrobbin6341 hes extremely underrated!! If you listen to experts talking about the greatest guitarists of all time, his name isn't even mentioned. Clapton, Hendrix, Page, etc. All the usual suspects but never The Purple One. His guitar playing was absolutely breathtaking.
I know he did. He did not Die, He was accepted by his God in to Heaven. There was a Rainbow over Paisley Park after he passed.
Respect!
Never heard Prince preform this song, only knew that he wrote it and O’Conner sang it. Now it’s even more beautiful to me than ever before.
1984’
He had a sampled it and let her have a chance at music and look at where she is and his in heaven but is remember for life
Befor caping on a person cause of spelling find out about them befor ruleing
He made it yes but samples it first befor she sang it hello that's what I was saying .I'm handy cap and people like you treat me like I'm dumb ok I'm dumb but you are a fucktard
Listen to Chris Cornell's acoustic version. It's bone chilling.
Prince's version with Rosie Gaines is the best version. The sax solo in this is pretty nice though.
The precision, the vitality, the youth: what a time to have been alive and enjoying the man's music and artistry! This brings back such great memories from that time...
stylecollective I was only 10 in this era, but it was so cutting edge and it was just amazing! I miss him so
stylecollective I couldn't have said it any better. " What a time to have been alive and enjoying this man's music and artistry"
He was something to behold live during his earlier career! Raw insane unleashed sexuality mixed with spirituality.. it was life changing to see him live.

One of the greatest songwriters/artists of all time
So true respect from England
Don't forget composer, producer..
The best
What a legend , one of the greatest !
One of? No...he IS the greatest...and will always be!!!
I was so glad to be living in Minneapolis when he passed. Nothing compares to the love the whole city showed when he passed. The whole city was purple to celebrate his life. He was too ahead of his time with everything. His music, his style and how humble he was.
I love the more raw live band sound with this song. And the emotion in his vocals here is priceless. Beautiful.
I had never heard this before. Rest in peace Prince and Sinead
This isn’t his best version one nite alone album is his best
I am so privileged to have been a teenager growing up in this era. Growing up in the 80s was the BOMB... Thanks for the beautiful memories Prince

Absolutely mind-blowing! Prince's original version of 'Nothing Compares 2 U' is a testament to his unparalleled songwriting talent. While many know this song from Sinead O'Connor's powerful rendition, hearing Prince's soulful vocals is a deeply moving experience. The raw emotion and vulnerability he brings to the lyrics are simply breathtaking. It's a reminder of his incredible range as an artist and his ability to connect with listeners on a profound level. Thank you, Prince, for sharing this timeless masterpiece with the world. Your music continues to touch hearts and souls. 👑🎶
Yessssss
Yeah but the remake is notably better
@@davidb9531you could say that it's better mixed in the studio, better overall sound and a beautiful voice performance from Sinead.
But technically, musically, this is more sophisticated.
Prince's songs were deeply miving because he wrote them feom personal experiences. Nothing compares to Prince.
@assorita3861 exactly, and some people don't even know that it was prince song and he sang it. So all they know is her version, but they have to listen to PRINCE SING IT. Wow, AMAZING !!!!
He's so amazing, I love his voice, it's just like magic. I've listened this like 5 times and I'm in love with this version already.
Me too
I never knew Prince wrote and sang this song. Prince was so so talented. R.I.P Prince and Sinead.
His song sounds good. He know he gave to her. Smart man. He not even sue her
SAME! I was like omg how is a prince song more known by a different artist?!? I whole heartedly feel like sinead was the one, if anyone else, to make this such an iconic hit.
Basically no female artists write their own songs.
@@LOLLYPOPPE There's plenty that do you sexist pig....
If anything, the title was a dead giveaway!
I was never that keen on the famous version, I couldn't get past the coldness of it. This is the first time I've heard this, it's so incredible, so REAL! 💜
Add the genius writing of Prince with Sinead's powerful rendition and you have a timeless classic
Not only did Prince write songs, but he played most instruments and produced music. His hands-on approach gave creative power back to artists. By taking full control over the direction of his work, Prince was able to shape the sounds that still influence countless musicians to this very day. Prince's multifaceted talent on numerous instruments was crucial to his musical legacy. He created a unique sound that blended funk, rock, pop, and R&B elements, and his virtuosic playing was a key part of that sound. 2:34 [Indie Band Guru; Olimpus Music]
@@Gurci28 Most of us watching ....know this. What the f is the lecture for? You think you are the only one who knows who Prince was as an artist?
People on here praising O’Connor when the video is about Prince!
Maybe their praises of her need to belong on her video of her doing the song. You don’t need to be butt hurt over a Prince fan praising him - he was a genius, she wasn’t. The end!

Ended up getting THE HITS 1 an 2 an then knowing that i had to check out eveeything the giy ever done before an after an i did .. some albums are al9t better than others but theres gems on em all
Very nice said, I have similar experience with his music - I revealed it after his passing, but I can grow old with it 💜
It's never too late to truly appreciate art.

A Legend gone, but NEVER forgotten! We love you Prince!💜
RIP 😢
Prince is a musical genius. He worked on music continuously day and night. It's said that he has thousands of unreleased songs. He has made an impact on the music industry that will always be remembered.
Prince, Sinead, & finally Chris Cornell…RIP - so much talent. God speed.
I love the emotion in his voice in this version. Lovely!
This was really interesting to find. I came here because of Sinead passing away and wanted to give Prince due respect for what was his creation. Its really interesting to see it being performed here so early - he mixed it up over the years in his concerts, but I like hearing what it sounded like in his mind not long after he'd written it. Beautiful product of not only Sinead but Prince too. A wonderful partnership.
This has brought me peace, and changed my perception of the vault material. But seeing him smile and have fun makes me realize that he lived his entire doing what he loved. Not just creating music for us, but to see him just enjoy himself when no one was listening is the greatest gift that I could have gotten. Thank you Prince, you knew why you were keeping these gems locked away, because you knew we would need them while you were gone.
I once had the opportunity to attend an event where his drummer, Bobby Z, spoke about him and described that although Prince had more natural talent in his little finger than most could ever dream, he was also an extremely hard worker. He just worked, worked, worked to perfect what he wanted each song to be, sound like, look like .... So much love for this human being.
L'amour ouf 😊
The best part of this song when Prince sings it is the verse ( All the flowers that you planted mama , in the back yard , ……. All died when you went away ) the somber feel of that verse makes your heart drop into your stomach & makes you hang your head in sorrow . It’s like he was crying when he spoke it . You truly feel his pain .
Is he singing about his mother though?
@@ticketyboo2456 no, he's not. Mama/papa is a flirtatious pet name, not refferring to his actual mother :))
Denise Matthews
En accord avec toi
And yet they made a Dance Video out of it. I dont get it?
Goodness, how beautiful! What a lovely surprise!
Two years to the day after Prince’s shocking, tragic, & untimely passing, the timely release of this wonderful song is a poignant reminder of his unique, outstanding talent as a songwriter and musician.
The accompanying rehearsal footage is a testament to Prince’s prowess as a dancer and performer, as well as reflecting his impressive commitment & relentless work ethic.
As many fans have expressed already here, I find it very moving to watch this priceless rehearsal footage, whilst listening to Prince’s emotive original version of this classic song.
Appropriately for me on this 2nd anniversary of his passing, this is a song about love, loss, abandonment, and especially about missing that somebody so very special that one truly adores.
Lyrically I think it is one of Prince’s most accomplished compositions, conveying his broken-heartedness so very potently (‘Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling’).
For many years I had been under the impression that his love for Susannah had inspired Prince to write this amazing song, but apparently Susan Rogers seems to think that it was written about his housekeeper (Sandy Scipioni) back in the early eighties that had left his employ due to a bereavement.
Listening now to this beautiful song about loss & yearning, all I can say is she must have been one heckuva housekeeper! :)
Having heard Prince sing it so powerfully and emotively on many occasions live, it is absolutely amazing now to reflect that he was still singing so passionately about this woman so many years later.
I haven’t heard any of this recording of NC2U before, so it’s completely new to me. I thought that Chris Cornell recorded a pretty good version as a tribute to Prince, but to my ears this original recording totally eclipses that, the Family’s rendition and Sinead’s hit version too.
How many dislikes of this already though?! Sheesh, I didn’t realize Sinead had so many TH-cam accounts! :)
This rendition probably has a more rock orientated arrangement than I expected, though this, coupled with Prince's expressive vocals, still masterly renders the song hugely emotional and soulful.
Right from the start the keyboard part surprised me. To me it sounds strangely frail and vulnerable, almost like it is an old failing Casio. For some strange reason it kinda made me think initially of John Lennon (say like 'Imagine/I am the Walrus').
This recording precedes Prince’s fine ‘Around the World in a Day’ album, which coincidentally is an album, which I had incorrectly thought was influenced by the Beatles. I have since fairly recently read a quote from Prince, which seems to dispel any such notion. It’s interesting to me how wildly I can misinterpret Prince’s work and influences, even after all these years being obsessively immersed in his music.
The initial burst of guitar came as another surprise to me. It’s nice to have Clare Fischer’s string arrangements complimenting the song (albeit buried not very prominently in the mix), and I think Eric does his usual fine job, embellishing with his sax solo, before the superb ‘all the flowers that you planted mama in the backyard’ bridge.
To me this rehearsal footage is genuinely stunning and a joy to savor, as Prince demonstrates his natural gift for dynamic dancing, with spins, splits, & some pretty nifty footwork…all in 3 inch heels no less! 3:57 Awesome! :)
And we even get to see Prince rocking a fur coat just like my momma used to wear when I was a lil’ kid! Awww, sweet! :)
I gotta give props to Wendy and Mark for managing to keep up with those steps whilst playing in the clip, which is no mean feat. Prince worked the band so hard, that Bobby’Z not even allowed to sit down on the job, whilst drumming! :)
I like the moments where he seems to tease Wendy with the mike, and it’s great & life-affirming for me to see him having fun, doing what he loved (playing fantastic music & dancing).
There are a few really cute smiles from him too for us to enjoy. If this is any indication of the jewels in Prince’s vault, we fans still have a lot to look forward to.
Nothing compares 2 Prince…something those of us who love him to bits certainly don’t need reminding. Two years ago today we lost Prince, leaving many of us feeling bereft, ‘like a bird without a song’. Thankfully we still have the cherished gift of his fantastic, funky music to love on.
Like so many folks around the world I miss him terribly. I hope & pray that he is now at Home with the Lord in ‘a better place’, God-willing.
At this solemn time of year for diehard fans, it is thoughtful and generous of his Estate & Warners to release this exquisite song and precious video footage. Thank-you so much for sharing this absolute gem with us!
well said - respect
Thank you for putting in to words (& so eloquently) how legions of fans out there are feeling. The anniversary is a tough one to get through. This release is incredible. We will never stop missing our Prince.
I concur with @Greg Fan and #Chippy 77. 💜
I couldn't agree with you more this is definitely one of his better songs
Losing Prince Rogers Nelson was a genuine loss for the world.
He was truly a musical genius. He is our Beethoven. He is our Mozart.
Thank God he recorded so much of his work and kept it.
We may have lost the man, but we are blessed to still have countless hours of his music the world has never known.
In the years to come, we can still hear new renditions of his brilliance.
Shut up with your nonsense, you silly person. Beetyhoven is our Beethoven, not some guy who overdosed on drugs and was obsessed with himself.
Ok now scott n, U can go away now with YOUR nonsense. Prince 4ever!
Yet to see another man dance so flawlessly in heels. RIP purple man💜
Not seen too many men dance that well in flats either to be fair! 😂
Prince was one of the singular geniuses, not just of his generation but of popular music as a whole. His songs readily combined the spiritual and the sensual in a way nobody has done quite that well before or since. He transcended race, gender, and genre effortlessly.
I was terribly saddened by his passing. the industry will have a significant loss. I also believe the story told concerning his death is not the FULL story
Bowie was the only other one in this level...
RIP to both Prince and Sinead. I lost my sister in 2015 and lost my brother this January 2023, both to mental illness. So I understand the struggle. Miss them so much. Lost them and all my fav artists. Michael Jackson, Prince, Sinead, Whitney and more. No longer do they have to live in anxious pain or have to wander.
George Michael and Tupac too.
I am so sorry for your loss.

nothing can stop this lonely tears from falling...
Prince looks so young and vibrant in the rehearsal footage. He had no idea that he was a legend in the making. Prince was always so pretty and handsome until the very end of his life. He aged like fine wine, but it was very obvious that he was feeling tired and weary in his spirit 2wards the end of his last days. 💜 It seemed like he became very lonely, restless and bored at the very end of his life journey in this world. God Bless His Beautiful Soul 💜
Agree with you mostly, but he knew he was a legend even then. For sure.
ssinssg U R probably right. Not even Prince could deny his own greatness : ) 💜
Agree
The energy!! And it's only a rehearsal? The man is just incredible!
youre supposed to go full out in rehearsals. thats what rehearsals are for. thats where the magic happens.
The footage is from the rehearsal. The songs you hear is the first studio version.
Prince was a firm believer in the, 'practice the way you are going to play' school of thought.
