Nobody can write, arrange, compose, produce, play the number of instruments at the level Prince played at, sing, choreograph, etc. He was one of a kind.
i'd disagree. maybe in today's world of music it in fact is a unique feature, but Prince wasn't a unicorn. what about Isaac Hayes, Barry White or Quincy Jones? or even Lenny Kravitz, Mark Ronson... and i mentioned only those who came up to me at this moment
@@listfa Prince isn't the only multi-instrumentalist but none of those others are at the level of proficiency that Prince is as multi instrumentalists. The only one that would be in that conversation would be Stevie Wonder. Certainly Isaac, Barry or Quincy were not at Prince level as singular performers. Prince was also responsible for a sound in the 80's in the same manner that Motown was in the 60's. No disrespect to any of those giants but as a singular talent, Prince was unmatched.
MJ , Madonna , and Bruce Springsteen were at the top of their game in the eighties and all three had the best songwriters , producers , arrangers , and studio musicians ... Prince was one individual , operating alone and competing with them on the highest level.
Sweet Sticky Thing is a reference to The Ohio Players song Sweet Sticky Thing. Here is the link to that song th-cam.com/video/jZKWpTqa2f4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OhmkqwCmiE1XzJoI
Prince was absolutely the greatest mad scientist of the music world. There is a touch of madness in every genius. He was music incarnate, art in motion.
Prince wrote the song. Sheila is a master drummer. And she played with prince for his full love, sexy tour. And she also sang with him in erratic city. She was the female counterpart in the song with Prince.
The amazing thing about him was his music was always completly different, he didnt care if people liked it, he could have made music that sounded like purple rain forever but that wasnt him, he was always completely original and completely diffferent with everything he did
I love how with each Prince performance you notice something new that those of us who have enjoyed him for 40+ years have learned. Yes, he was unapologetic about his art, and he thought of every detail. The outfit matching the lights was definitely intentional (as you noticed). You can buy the static globe light. I think they are called plasma balls or globes. As always, a great Prince reaction 💜💜💜
1958 was a vintage year, the stars were aligned. Prince (Jun), Madonna (Aug) and Michael (Aug) all hail from the mid-west and were born a few months apart. Kate Bush was born Jul '58 in the UK. If you don't know her, Kate is one of the most unique artists ever whose influence is felt to this day. As a woman in total control of her art, she has many firsts in her career and was a huge star everywhere but the U.S. (go figure).
The story of how Cat went from Star Search to dancing with P is interesting. She’s also said she didn’t feel pretty enough compared to his other associates 😢
There are so many layers to Prince it's crazy. There is something so unique that he does that I've never ever seen other performers do. Anyone who had been to more than one Prince concert can admit to this. He does not do the same show twice. What I mean is if you go to this geniuses concerts back to back. Each show will have something different and different songs from the previous night. He also does encores 2 or 3 after playing and singing and dancing for over 2 hours. I've been to other performers shows back to back and they do the same songs in the exact same order each night. Not Prince. Do you realized how difficult that must be to change up songs and their order each and every night. In an interview with his band members they said that you better be on your toes working with Prince. He will change a song at the drop of a hat at the last minute. Remarkable human being!!!!!!
You can react to Prince music videos and performances for years and never get tired. Again, this video is from his 1987 concert film 'Sign O The Times'. Make sure you check it out. Also, where can we send you requests for reactions?
I've seen him do this show live in Rotterdam, oh, 40 years ago? Parts of that particular concert allegedly ended up in this official concert movie ... Prince still blows my mind, and I miss him every day ...
Later in his career, when he was asked about his earlier explicit songs, he said that when you're 20 you push the limits, and he had gone there. But he said he had matured, and his music had matured along with him. He never apologized or disavowed his early work, in fact he continued to perform some of those songs, with more cleaned up lyrics. I admire him for not rejecting those songs. That era was part of who he was at the time, and he had grown over the years, like we all do.
Prince will always be unmatched in talent, so far...please check out "The Cross" live in Dortmund!! So awesome and Shiela E is so amazing, u must check this out...PLEASE!
Yes… I know what you mean, sis! I love the fact that you get it… You get it! You should be very excited, because though you’ve listened to many of Prince’s creations…that’s just the tip of the iceberg! There’s so much more for you to experience. His transition is easier to accept because of young people like you who are loving and appreciating the magnificence of his art! 💜🙏🏽
Love your reactions, noticed several times you commented on his heels, unfortunately that what contributed to his death. Because of the heels he had to have hip replacement surgery wherein he got addicted to pain killers and overdosed on them. If you watch closely at he later years you see him in flats , like play that funky music video
Dope reaction. I was cracking up on your comments. Brooks said "a sweet sticky thang" U peeped the outfit. One rehearsal he saw the flashing lights and said "add that to my outfit" U can get the ball w the electricity going through it at Spencer on the mall. Also during rehearsal when he slid in between cat s legs and grabbed her skirt, somehow she twisted her ankle and tore some ligaments. This is from "sign I the times movie" which you d enjoy.right after this song is "now s the time" which features a Sheila e drum solo. If u watch the movie and lovesexy 88 germany show on you tube, same band, you will see two high energy shows w him playing multiple genres. "Now s the time" w Sheila s drum solo is on you tube too. It's a sped up busy song originally done by Charlie parker. Shared this reaction w Peeps
The song you were singing “Rock Steady” is by the Whispers and it was kind of the sound in the late 80s, new jack swing/Minneapolis sound were the dominant sounds of the era
My Boss: So, tell me DJ Professor Dan, why do you want to work from home? Is it COVID? Is it the long commute? Is it... Me: It's mostly so I can watch Prince videos.
A pleasure see You for the first time today. Prince is My favorite artist. I love the way You appreciate his enormous talent. You are beautiful and special. Danny from the Dominicana Republic.
Frank Zappa, Ian Anderson ... there are people who were dynamic artists that push these boundaries. Prince is timeless and legendary. Hard to hold anyone up against this sort of creativity.
His grandmom got mad at him over this song she told me she told him not to do song like this and he loves his grandmom. I liked his grandmom she was funny. I meet him at his grandmom house that is when she told me the story
I loved the how-many-gifts-did-God-give-him comments. Hysterical. I get it. If Prince stole my lady, I'd probably just be like, "Well, I mean it's Prince. Can't really blame her."
If this had her blushing she can't handle young Prince. There was a reason young people loved Michael but adults loved Prince. His lyrics were more mature. Michael was safe, Prince took chances. RIP Prince & MJ.
U R only scratching the surface...You must check out his instrumental band called Madhouse. There will NEVER be another that comes close to this brother...all in 1 purple package
It’s called a plasma lamp/Tesla lamp. Very popular in the 80’s: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_globe Also: Hot Thing is one of the best songs Prince ever wrote 💜💜💜
The lyrics from “Sweet sticky thing” may help in your understanding the nomenclature of the era.. Here’s the opening lines “You just go from man to man I just don't seem to understand Why you're so very hard to take You sweet sticky thing If I could slow you down sometime I'd like to try and change your mind You're really not the one to blame You sweet sticky thing” The Ohio Players, and Prince are referencing a certain type of woman, on that has existed throughout time, and regardless of language being changed to lessen the blow, these (types) still exist, and will remain as long as we live and breathe, on every continent, in every village.. Women are not a monolith, there are many variations on the theme.. Big bro, and his stage bros in the scene, were not referring to an entire existence of womanhood lol… Just the individual who exhibits said traits in the Ohio Players lyrics.. I think the term used today is “THOT”… Following todays standards, the ENTIRE Ohio Players band are “SIMPS”😂😂 Love your reaction vids.. Keep em coming.. CHEERS! 🙏🎼🙏
Hardcore Prince fan who just discovered your channel and I’m loooving watching you dig through and enjoy his work. I think you’d looove this concert jam session video that’s been popular in the Prince fan community for a while, and just perfectly displays what an expert musician and guitarist he was: th-cam.com/video/LNrAFb3I2js/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SDGLQf4Eo3P6bcFD Keep up the great content!!
Great reaction Britt. You're awesome. I'm from Minnesota. More Prince. If you need a break from Prince, than some Bob Dylan. He's from Minnesota too. Why would you need a break from Prince?
It's a compliment. For her there're a lot of things about Prince that she's discovering for the first time. She grew up in a MJ house and no clue how versatile Prince was. Overwhelming if you will.
@@brittreacts I think you will enjoy that one. Prince can be too much to handle especially in his younger years, he was the total opposite of MJ. I was a MJ fan until Prince came on the scene and seeing him in concert the 1st time in the early 80s I was hooked. His musical compositions are on another level. He wrote the most amazing Love Ballards. Start off with Adore & How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore.
Okay, enough is enough, time for another Harry Chapin song...I HIGHLY recommend the following video, just type it into youtube: "Harry Chapin: 30 THOUSAND POUNDS of BANANAS 81" this will give you the live version that includes his desire for audience participation, and the 4 alternative endings for the song which includes band participation...This video gives you the very best of Harry when he does a live concert...and yes, this is a story, i guarantee that you will not just love it, but adore it!

“Sign O’ the Times” one the best pop albums of the 80’s right here . 💜💟☂️
Pop, gospel, soul, rock, and funk.
@@agadoin All exemplified in this clip alone.
@geozeo9573
Yes. You hear some gospel rhythms in some of his other songs. This is why he passed out tambourines during some of his concerts.
Truth....no one has Prince's confidence. I am sorry you missed seeing him live. The high from his performances lasted days. Miss that man so much.
Sweet Sticky Thing is a reference to The Ohio Players song Sweet Sticky Thing. Here is the link to that song th-cam.com/video/jZKWpTqa2f4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OhmkqwCmiE1XzJoI
I don’t think she knows that.

@@smh93 Yep that be her can’t nobody rocket like cat
Shelia E is not a master drummer...John Blackwell is.
I saw Sheila E in a dinner theater concert in NY…she was amazing!
The amazing thing about him was his music was always completly different, he didnt care if people liked it, he could have made music that sounded like purple rain forever but that wasnt him, he was always completely original and completely diffferent with everything he did

When I saw your name, "JJlovesPrince", it made me so happy.
@@allmotivation3827 That’s so sweet.
To even think Madonna and Michael are near Prince's level after watching so much Prince, I can't 🤦
Always love your reactions to Prince! You get it! He has been unapologetic since day one! His royal badness made cocky cute! 😁
Love it!!
Another great Prince reaction !!!!
You should react to It’s gonna be a beautiful night live is from the same movie concert !
Yea the 8 minute version
Prince was funky sexy nasty in the best possible way. Great reaction!
"Sweet, Sticky Thing" gotta be your next song review.
She doesn't know the Ohio Players song.
1958 was a vintage year, the stars were aligned. Prince (Jun), Madonna (Aug) and Michael (Aug) all hail from the mid-west and were born a few months apart. Kate Bush was born Jul '58 in the UK. If you don't know her, Kate is one of the most unique artists ever whose influence is felt to this day. As a woman in total control of her art, she has many firsts in her career and was a huge star everywhere but the U.S. (go figure).
Barely 21 is not meant in that way lol Prince was in his mid 20's here 🤣 It just meant she was wild for her age.
Prince was 29 here actually. This was 1987. Lol but I agree
You’re having my reaction decades later😊❤ He was gorgeous!
The story of how Cat went from Star Search to dancing with P is interesting. She’s also said she didn’t feel pretty enough compared to his other associates 😢
th-cam.com/video/90MVRcQeOIc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wel_CEyJTDkQgQ8o
Goat. This is only one of them. No radio play. Fucking goat.
A little bit too much ? You ain't seen nothing yet. 😂
❤❤❤❤ I know better than to watch Prince at work 😂😂😂😂
There are so many layers to Prince it's crazy. There is something so unique that he does that I've never ever seen other performers do.

Every show would be different..he sold out for 4 days in Detroit..I went to two and both was different and beautiful..😂❤💜💜
His "Sexy M.F." has to be your next Prince reaction!
You get him! I recommend checking out the full Sign O' The Times film. It's more than a concert movie.
You can react to Prince music videos and performances for years and never get tired. Again, this video is from his 1987 concert film 'Sign O The Times'. Make sure you check it out. Also, where can we send you requests for reactions?
Check out It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night live from this performance
Went to high school with this genius. Born of the same cauldron. I went another direction :)
Very cool!
I've seen him do this show live in Rotterdam, oh, 40 years ago? Parts of that particular concert allegedly ended up in this official concert movie ... Prince still blows my mind, and I miss him every day ...
The bass synth really hits on the studio version. Also, let's give Eric Leeds some love for the sax solo (again, there's more on the studio version).
The name of the song is rock steady by the wispers
You have not even begun to go down the rabbit hole. This is very tamed for Prince in his younger years
Later in his career, when he was asked about his earlier explicit songs, he said that when you're 20 you push the limits, and he had gone there. But he said he had matured, and his music had matured along with him. He never apologized or disavowed his early work, in fact he continued to perform some of those songs, with more cleaned up lyrics. I admire him for not rejecting those songs.

Prince definitely has a naughty side to him.
I have been to 4 Prince concerts. Amazing.
never gets old to me!
Girl you got me crackin up!! 😂if you want a full Prince Live, watch the concert movie this clip came from, Sign ‘O’ The Times! React 2 That!!! ✌🏼😁
I will check it out
Yes… I know what you mean, sis!
I love the fact that you get it…
You get it!
You should be very excited, because though you’ve listened to many of Prince’s creations…that’s just the tip of the iceberg! There’s so much more for you to experience.
His transition is easier to accept because of young people like you who are loving and appreciating the magnificence of his art! 💜🙏🏽
Yes! Thank you!
Eric Leeds on sax killing it as always 💜
Fun Fact: Cat (the dancer) did all of that on a sprung ankle. If you look closely you can see it wrapped. That’s what you call dedication😌💜
Most new artists don't dare to be this different and creative. All afraid of hate on the internet.
Love your reactions, noticed several times you commented on his heels, unfortunately that what contributed to his death. Because of the heels he had to have hip replacement surgery wherein he got addicted to pain killers and overdosed on them.

"If I was your girlfriend" Prince sign o the times concert

A lot of his earlier songs, 70s-80s, was very sexual. He did tone it down in the 90s but still had some songs that aren't exactly PG.
My Boss: So, tell me DJ Professor Dan, why do you want to work from home? Is it COVID? Is it the long commute? Is it...
Me: It's mostly so I can watch Prince videos.
A pleasure see You for the first time today. Prince is My favorite artist. I love the way You appreciate his enormous talent. You are beautiful and special. Danny from the Dominicana Republic.
I like to say God was showing out on the day he created PRINCE!
😜💜
Fire 🔥 Proceed to next level.
Frank Zappa, Ian Anderson ... there are people who were dynamic artists that push these boundaries. Prince is timeless and legendary. Hard to hold anyone up against this sort of creativity.
Frank Zappa went on record as being a supporter of his musicianship.
Prince once sang I gonna do something to make your backbone slip
That's Cat and this is one of the best concert movies. It's Hot Thang😅 its a Plasma Ball
Prince Rogers Nelson ANYONE He's Always A Musician First !
Wow! I didn’t hear “Rock Steady” until you called it. Good ear!
So good!
It's a plasma ball light. Easy to find.
A true musical Giant 💜💜💜
i loe this song, and this rendtion
He could do the first class shaking and dancing on any dancefloor anywhere,Prince...
His grandmom got mad at him over this song she told me she told him not to do song like this and he loves his grandmom. I liked his grandmom she was funny. I meet him at his grandmom house that is when she told me the story
“Sweet sticky thing” was a song by the Brothers Johnson.
Prince "Cream" .one of his best
Thank you for doing hot thing
Highly recommend listening to Prince cover Play That Funky Music and Hollywood swinging.
Very cool video...catchy sensual tune and lyrics...I never heard this Prince song before....I like it!
Prince told me 2 tell you eye wish U could have seen me live...EYE was and still am amazing... if eye Dont say so my$elf"
I loved the how-many-gifts-did-God-give-him comments. Hysterical. I get it. If Prince stole my lady, I'd probably just be like, "Well, I mean it's Prince. Can't really blame her."

The lyrics from “Sweet sticky thing” may help in your understanding the nomenclature of the era..
Here’s the opening lines
“You just go from man to man
I just don't seem to understand
Why you're so very hard to take
You sweet sticky thing
If I could slow you down sometime
I'd like to try and change your mind
You're really not the one to blame
You sweet sticky thing”
The Ohio Players, and Prince are referencing a certain type of woman, on that has existed throughout time, and regardless of language being changed to lessen the blow, these (types) still exist, and will remain as long as we live and breathe, on every continent, in every village..

4:28 It's a plasma ball. You can find small ones for $30.
Has Britt heard Charlie Murphy true story about playing a game of basketball against Prince and the revolution😆
Oh, I want to give THE line - but I won't 😆😆😆
You can buy one of those things. Like at a SPENCER'S if you have one in a mall.
Sweet sticky thang is a reference to an Ohio Players Album A Taste of Honey and the song Sweet Sticky Thang

Added!
Britt,
He didn't say "Sweet STINKY thing" He said "sweet STICKY thing" (which is in reference to a song by 70s funk Band The Ohio Players
