Prince was our Mozart, he mastered over 14 instruments by age 17, he could dance, sing any note, rap, he wrote, arranged, performed ALL his music, including wrote hits for other artists, he has covered almost every genre, Metal, Punk rock, hip hop, pop, r&b, soul, jazz, blues, country, ambience, classical, techno, house, instrumental, meditation. The Multi-Genre God. He could play anything, and your favorite artists have been deeply influenced by him. Corey Taylor, Whitney Houston, Steve Vai, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Young Thug, 2PAC, H.E.R. , Paul Mccartney, all worship Prince to just name a few. Prince recorded his first 2 albums at 16 all by himself, all instruments, lyrics, arrangement, composition & vocals were all by him. He was such a prodigy, that music executives wanted proof, they would fly across country just to see if he could really play all instruments, because it was so unheard of. Prince has over 50 official released albums and when he passed, they found over 10 thousand unreleased Prince music in his vault. He then came into the business and was the FIRST to fight for artists rights, and he WON. He would write "slave" on his cheek and go to meetings protesting against the industry. Prince was also one of the first artists to sell his music on the internet. You are talking about the most talented artist we will ever see.

[@jackrenolyds933]

MJ was great but Prince was the modern day Mozart. He could do it all and better than anyone.

[@runyunhyde4373]

Prince performing this in the rain at the Superbowl halftime show was magical

[@carriemichelle322]

This is from the movie.... Purple Rain. RIP Prince!!! So hard listening to this without tears falling down my face! Must watch him perform at Super Bowl. He is the GOAT! When he passed, it rained for days and i remember the sky at night being purple. Gone way to soon, but Never forgotten!

[@jonathancadorin9714]

Little red corvette, raspberry Beret, kiss, when doves cry, let’s go crazy, 1999. So many more

[@jodip699]

Now you need to watch Purple Rain live at Syracuse. Itll blow you away! Also live at Syracuse " I would Die For You" you thought MJ had the dance moves!

[@darrenhenderson7588]

Prince played MANY instruments.

[@ronnix23]

I feel like for most people the first Prince song that hooked them was either I Wanna Be Your Lover (1979), or Little Red Corvette (1983). Those were his first two big hits.

[@leeharrison8222]

Good answer. I def. recommend reactions to both, and also to 1999, Let's Go Crazy, When Doves Cry, Controversy, I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man, Diamonds and Pearls, Cream, Scandalous, 7, Money Don't Matter Tonight, and Damn U.

[@GeneGeterTV]

Prince on this channel. Let's go. This clip is from the movie and that's why the silence in the beginning doesn't make sense. A tragedy happened before. First big one for me was When Doves Cry so check that one out, extended version and Little Red Corvette made him a household name.

[@Emilie-one]

I am shocked at how many people haven’t heard this. I love Prince! I found him several years before purple rain album came out. I discovered him in 10th grade and I loved him… he was such an incredible musician and performer.

[@hopeklemann1]

Prince was amazing wonderful master of his craft... like no other. I'm really pleased to see that you might be going down this rabbit hole because you won't be disappointed.

[@SPierced]

I once got to watch one of his complete concerts that was broadcast on UK tv many years ago. It put to shame any other concert I've ever seen or been to. It was a complete theatrical show like nothing I have ever seen before or since.

[@stefhonsmith6547]

When Doves Cry You react to that Song from Prince. My Mom introduced me to Prince's Music.

[@glamslamcam]

Welcome to the Purple World! Lol Prince is a MASSIVE Treasure Trove & him & his music is the gift that never stops giving! His first big hit was the song “I Wanna Be Your Lover” in 1979. He wouldn’t have another hit song until 1983 with the smash song “Little Red Corvette”, his first Top 10 pop hit. The song that made me notice him was “1999” off the “1999” album (also where Little Red Corvette” comes from). The song that blew him up was “When Doves Cry” in 1984 off of “Purple Rain”., his very first #1 hit & the biggest song of 84. That’s a song you gotta review and it MUST be the Extended version (it’s the whole song) NOT the Official Music Video one cause it cuts the song off & cuts off the great stuff! If you have to put a film on the video to review the Extended version, put it on there anyway cause the whole song is 🔥🔥🔥 & you gotta hear it! And keep on going further in the 80’s, the 90’s, the 2000’s and the 2010’s with Prince too! The music was amazing all the way to the end. Here’s hoping you have a blast discovering Prince & his incredible music!!! You’ll be glad you did!!! 💜💜💜

[@hopeklemann1]

it has been said that Prince is the only guy who could walk into a party wearing a frilly blouse and high heel boots and take your girl home.

[@helenajrgensen3157]

Im 48 now, and have been a fan of Prince since my teenageyears! So many fire tracks.

[@TwiztedGenius]

DAYUM I MISS PRINCE GONE 2 SOON

[@lesal.1373]

Thank you! Please do more Prince! His 1st hit was Soft and Wet '(78), more risqué songs on Dirty Mind album ('80) and 1999 ('82) double album was huge! All before he blew up with Purple Rain,#1 film & #1album & #1 single When Doves Cry ('84).

[@ChrisTorris]

This is my favorite prince song by far but he has some real bangers. Some people Loved him, others certainly did not, but there is no denying his amazing talent. Lost him too soon, RIP

[@tracynorman1455]

First super big song was When Doves Cry from this same album, went to #1 summer of 1984. He had some popular songs prior to this, but none went to number one. This was the song that made my almost 12 year old self fall in love with him and people who didn’t know him really take notice.

[@jerbearschannel2208]

I was just 2 years 2 young to be an extra in the club scenes, I love Minnesota

[@kathrynstafford7099]

This is from the movie, Purple Rain.

[@purplelove1933]

MJ was an entertainer and G rated Prince an all round musician and his music mostly for Adults. Prince created entire albums on his own. The clip you chose is from the movie Purple Rain. Prince wrote everything for this movie. The story behind When Doves Cry is iconic. Every song on the album is fantastic.... listen to the entire album, then you will realise you need to go back to the late 70's and start from the beginning. Once you reach 2016 you will start going through over 8,000 unreleased volt tracks 💜

[@tracynorman1455]

@purplelove1933 You say Prince is for adults but I started really listening to him when I was 12 in 1984 and Purple Rain was the first album I had on cassette. Before When Doves Cry I had heard 1999 and Little Red Corvette on the radio but didn’t really know who he was.

[@purplelove1933]

@@tracynorman1455 many of us did listen to his radio songs but they were G rated in comparison to some of his other songs especially Dirty Mind album His music was sex ed 😍

[@leeharrison8222]

@@tracynorman1455 I got aboard the Prince train when I was 12, too. But collectively speaking, Prince's music catalog is definitely more mature and geared to adolescent and adult audiences than children in terms of lyrics and subject matter (1999 touches on the apocalypse). Doesn't mean his music didn't still appeal to kids (it did) and doesn't mean he didn't have some G-rated songs in that vast catalog of his (he did), but if comparing Prince to Mike, Prince was definitely more R-rated and MJ more G-rated. Even in Little Red Corvette P. sings about used condoms and jockies riding horses (trojans), and says "@ss" on the lengthier album version that was getting played all over the radio back in the 1980s.

[@chelseahaley8350]

U should definitely check out his performance of this song from the Superbowl! I just happened to win tickets that year, so I got to witness that performance live and in person! Sitting in those stands in the pouring rain while he sang this song is by far one of the most epic moments of my life!!

[@Emilie-one]

How lucky were you? Oh my God, I would’ve loved to see that! Prince was my teenage crush!

[@leeharrison8222]

Wow you won tix and saw that iconic performance live? Must have been absolutely incredible! Were you a fan of Prince's music at that time or no?

[@chelseahaley8350]

@Emilie-one Only thing I've ever won in my life! It was awesome!

[@chelseahaley8350]

@@leeharrison8222 I was, and still very much am!! It's definitely something I will never forget!!

[@ghettoredneck7278]

One of greatest guitarist to ever play and he played ever instruments on the whole album

[@jonathongeorge3093]

If you do another Prince song, I'd suggest "When Doves Cry"... probably his most iconic song from this era.

[@itsakittyting]

This song is epic. You were either a Prince fan or a Michael Jackson fan back in the day, I was for MJ but of course I loved this song too. It is crazy in hindsight how the industry caused us fans to divide like that though. Great reaction Duane! I think this was from a movie...

I’d gladly go back to the days of second hand smoke if it meant getting rid of social media and 24/7 news channels. I’d choose the 80’s every time.

[@eloisapompa5048]

1999 is a must to react to.

Darling Nikki. React to that one. That's why we got "Parental Warnings" Well..we had them back in the days of CDs. Thanks Tipper Gore

[@mharrislove]

Wendy's facial expression after the on-stage kiss was because the song performance proceeds a tragic event in the movie (that explains the strange reaction at the start by the audience - they were aware of the family tragedy). Anyway, dive in hard and do his whole Superbowl performance (not just the rendition of Purple Rain) - it's only about 15 min and you'll see a wide range of what he can do.

[@ScottLaVine-br8wt]

That was Wendy

You need to watch the movie soundtrack is amazing I remember when this premiered this song hits harder iconic ending may he RIP he was robbed "allegedly" so sad gone way to soon😢

[@wiggion]

Good movie, great soundtrack, and to guess, he wanted an epic climax for the rock musical movie, so this is that closing song

[@Emilie-one]

That whole album was fire! But you should also go back a little further and check out songs like 1999, little red Corvette, controversy… He had tons of incredible music.

[@antoniovelazquezvera8366]

React to Let's go crazy or when doves cry by prince.

[@hopeklemann1]

this is from the movie purple rain so it's not a regular old performance it kind of comes off as a little funky....

[@Lovejazz01]

Once again, young KZbin reactors read carefully , if you react to this Purple Rain official video, it is a scene from the movie “ Purple Rain” starring Prince. Watch it, it will explain what is going on in the scene . Carry on…. 🙏🏾👍🏾✌🏾🎸🎤💜

[@scoot5342]

Metallica in Moscow pls 🙏

[@richardturk7162]

Prince had way more musical talent than MJ ever had.

[@leeharrison8222]

We can heap well-deserved and hard-earned praise on Prince's head all day, every day, without needing to compare or lessen the impact of another artist. Prince and Mike both worked extremely hard to become the legendary artists that both were. Personally, I'm of the opinion the world is a much better and brighter place for having been graced for many years by both of these luminaries. Let's please keep it classy and appreciate each artist on their own terms. I think Prince would want us to show some grace here to MJ and his fan base. A lot of us Prince fans love MJ's work too.
