Prince, was 21 yrs old when he did this album. He played every instrument on the album. Always genius.

[@siobhannolan5822]

My HS boyfriend was a double for Prince. Girls would just come up and say Oh you look just like him when this song came out 😜

[@H-Vox]

An absolute genius who knew he was gonna be a star

[@lee-fr8oo]

yes he did everything in the studio i believe on the first 5 albums

[@danielbirdhead1239]

Oh you mean that FUCKING GENIUS PRINCE....❤

[@SG-js2qn]

Young Prince being funky. This was the first Prince song most of us heard.

[@pennydaytreasures8173]

I miss hearing Prince for the first time

[@stevenmonte7397]

Prince is THE GOAT!!!! Nobody will ever have his skill set! He was untouchable!

[@marcusmccormick8399]

Other facts about this album: they wanted a producer for the album, orince wanted to do it himself. He turned down maurice white from earth wind and fire in his first album, they called quincy jones, but he was working in off the wall. They called ray Parker Jr. They told ray to listen to the album and see what he could do w it. Prince and ray met up, he drove prince around in his rolls royce, they hung out, but prince was anxious to get in the studio. He gave prince a soundboard and sonething else. Finally he listened to the album. Ray told warner bros, " i cant do nothing w his album, its great in how it is. Let him be him"

[@panface1000]

Luther Vandros was also sent to check him out and he said the same 'leave him to it'

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you’ll love his “Delirious”, “Let’s Go Crazy”, “Raspberry Beret” and Kiss” !!!

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Yessssss! It’s endless with Prince! R.I.P. 💜🙌🏻💜

[@snapdragon8888]

Delirious is my absolute favorite Prince song of all time.

[@christikirk7265]

You are correct again Surelechapeau!

[@chrisa4695]

Prince helped move RnB into a new era. Before Prince most R&B bands were 7-9 pieces or more with 3 & 4 piece horn sections. Prince was stripped down to just the rhythm section with more of a rock sound. Only the Isley Brothers & Funkadelic were doing that before.

[@kylechristian7232]

Shuggie Otis was the Precursor to Prince

[@johnthegreek5836]

Prince was a genius, nothing else needs to be said

[@chrisa4695]

This was from Prince’s second album. It was an absolute gem. There is no filler on the album. There were 2 or 3 official singles and 2 or 3 others that got significant airplay or play at house parties. His debut For You the previous year, 1978 was solid. It featured the hit Soft & Wet. But this album made him a star.

[@loadedorygun]

Made him known, mostly for singing in his underpants about doing his sister. He wasn’t a star until 1999 and those videos on mtv imo. And then of course the next album made 1999 look like dirty mind.

[@chrisa4695]

@@loadedorygun He was definitely a star in the R&B world and also crossed over to the Pop Charts. 1999 made him a superstar and put his name in the same conversation as Michael Jackson, Madonna, and the Boss.

[@loadedorygun]

@@chrisa4695 none of his albums before Purple Rain topped the R&B charts.

[@chrisa4695]

@@loadedorygun I never said they topped the charts, but trust me, I was a hit. I was there I lived it. It was all over the radio and house parties. This was also the album out during the now infamous Rick James tour. Prince was the supporting act, but promoters billed it as “The Battle for the King of Punk Funk” and promoted Prince as a coheadliner. I attended the concert. Lenny White )formerly of Return to Forever was the opening act. This was during Rick James’ tour supporting “Fire It Up” the album before the legendary “Street Songs”. My point is the concert promoters saw enough in Prince to promote him as a headliner. As for charts, the only chart I ever paid attention to was the one in Jet Magazine.

[@loadedorygun]

@@chrisa4695 prince opened for rick James, exactly. You’re not a star when you’re supporting one. It’s ok.

[@kirkbowie]

This song was written and inspired by R&B singer Patrice Rushen. Prince had a big crush on her. You should react to her songs Forget Me Nots, Remind Me, Feels So Real and Haven’t You Heard.

[@scottlavine7363]

The song was written by Prince. I Feel For You was inspired by Patrice Rushen.

[@kimconliffe9000]

When Prince went to the record company they signed him of course...he then had to go find a band bc he played every instrument on that record, produced etc! Very talented man

[@davidhoward6254]

And Prince promptly went out and created "The Time" which gave us legendary producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, guitar genius Jesse Johnson, vocalist Morris Day and the rest of the 'secret sauce' with Monte Moire...Prince influenced SOOO much R&B in the late 70s and early 80s...and this was the first taste.

[@karencogs1]

This song was my first taste of Prince back in the day! Then Lord, along came Purple Rain and I was blown away!!! ❤️❤️

[@marningritaguy]

This was my first Prince song. I was ahead of my time for a young white boy in the mountains of Virginia.

[@lrsrosebud]

I grew up in Minneapolis and heard this on the radio all the time.

[@chris-julian5537]

Awesome

[@empyrealone]

Okay y'all Asia just said "I wanna be the only one you come for" and I'm not sure she realized what kind of "come" Prince was talking about. 😂

[@joskempbaker831]

Prince's "The most beautiful girl in the world" is a lovely contrast to this song. His appreciation of women in this song is so beautifully worded.😍👍

[@alissandra333]

Asia cracks me up, "I don't need you to be all of that!" 🤣

[@joykeebler1916]

Prince was another Prophet of music. Once and still believed, possessed the mantle of Jimi Hendrix: The real meaning of Purple Rain.

[@jjbigfoot9077]

What a jam!!!! Let's hear it for the thirteen year olds on their dirt bikes jammin' to this back in 79'!!!

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Endless greats with Prince! R.I.P. 💜🙌🏻💜. I start naming songs I won’t be able to stop- I gotta say-one of what seems to be a lesser known of his is called “The Beautiful Ones” ,is a fave of mine! Absolutely love all things Prince! 💜. ✨💖💙

[@christikirk7265]

I woulda given anything to be Prince's lover. All of his songs are so sexy. Multi -talented... I cried for days when he passed away. 😢

[@charlenewebb5893]

Seen Prince 1999 Tour MGM Grand Las Vegas . Was not going to miss that one ,We all partied with Prince that night .RIP

[@rbodee]

Heard this about a thousand times before realizing it was Prince(when it first came out). I began following Prince with Little Red Corvette and 1999. Heard this about 6 months ago and found out it was Prince.

[@butchbrady5674]

i used to work in a disco first place i heard this, i was impressed with Prince's story and been a fan since 1979. A great talent gone too soon.

[@AsiaandBJ]

Very cool!

[@SearlesHernandez]

Old school Prince...Let's go! 🎸💜🤙 "Bambi" next...

[@WizardPandora]

He played every instrument on this track as well as sang it to

[@mztweety1374]

In the immortal words of my grandma who bought my first Prince record (how come you don't call me anymore) "That's a tiny, yella, sexy man" and he wasnt even her type🤣 B.B. King and Teddy Pendergrass on the other hand...and no we didn't have the heart to tell her😁 Miss you, Queen Marguerite❤

[@demariobrown3099]

They had 2 videos for this song, which was his first #1 hit, from his 2nd album

[@TexasMagnolia]

This Album!! It’s only Prince, Played every instrument and vocals. His original - “I feel for you” made me an instant Fan! It was later covered by Chaka Khan but the Original could never be duplicated.

[@elainemarsh5170]

This was the first song I heard from Prince. Still sounds good!

[@ellenjones7819]

Now you're listening to early Prince. I hope one day you'll react to his song "Why you wanna treat me so bad."

[@tinamitchell5848]

I am from Minneapolis .2.Along with Prince. Listen 2 Diamonds and Pearls, or Could you be the most beautiful girl in the world. Absolutely love Prince, Thank You.

[@brendamcd704]

Love watching you guys rock out to Prince. The smiles on your faces says it all!

[@ithilnin123]

Definitely one of my favorite Prince songs!!! 💁🏻‍♀️

[@Aprilmomof2]

I would trade MOST of today's entertainers for just Prince to return. Huge loss to the music and entertainment industry.

[@candilumpkin1196]

Love this song, darling niki is really good as well as the live version of nothing compares to you.

[@sarahdixon1943]

We were allowed to play music during P.E. in high school. We'd put on Darling Nikki all the time!! It took a few weeks for our teacher to realize what was up ... 😆 🤣.. that song went out the window real quick!!! 😳 😆 🤣 😂

[@queenanne94101]

BJ absolutely slays me! 😂 Great reminder of a great song🎶 🎵 thanks!

[@AsiaandBJ]

Thanks for listening

[@GrandmaZeppelin]

You guys are so cute together! Much love to you both!☮💜

[@robinjohnston24]

Saw him seven times in concert. First time in 81, last time in 2007, and (with the exception of Live Aid) every concert of his I saw was better than any other concert I ever saw. RIP.

[@anjiharrell6175]

House quake, U Got the Look and Controversy are some real nice Prince jams to check out too guys. Thanks for the reaction. 👍🏽✌🏽❤️

[@marcusmccormick8399]

Another great reaction. This is prince playing every instrument, singing every part in this album. Recording engineerr said he watched prince count himself in on every instrument , all he had to do is hit record. U gotta watch the official video one day, you ll love the bouncy hair. This is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKGbiH9sZ5aofa8 Overall a great album. U gotta listen to the album version (which isnt the official video) the album version goes on for another 5 or 6 min w/ all music. You ll appreciate "sexy dancer" , "I feel for you" which may sound familiar, as well as "its gonna be lonely" all from the same album. Asia dont hate on the dance, he was vibin

[@ldybozz]

I was 7 y.o. when this came out. It was the 1st 45" record. I bought with my allowance. A year later. The 1st album I bought was DONNA SUMMER - BAD GIRLS. I still have them both.💜💜💜💜💜 I miss them both too😪. Got to see Prince twice. He was sooo good.

[@aks4204]

Such a great song! I was so fortunate I got to see Prince in concert. He was amazing live.

[@therealcarter1353]

Loved and Love this Song……💯🍿💯🍿💯🍿💯

[@larryjohnson3178]

Prince is the greatest entainer of all time ! I had his first album,that's right album,. 4 u! Soft and Wet was the big hit! I thought it was a new group,Prince played every instrument on the album ,wrote all the songs,I believe he was 18! From the beginning he was writing all his songs ,I think the label was Warner Brothers! He's The GOAT!!

[@garagegymgenius6810]

This song came out when I was in High School....Never get tired of it!!!!!

[@Triggerhippie70]

This is my jam! I grew up, listening to prince was obsessed with him. My entire bedroom was covered in prints, posters yes, I’m from the era where we actually bought posters and put them up in our room.

[@kabirahnazeem9403]

On your down time listen to prince HEAD. Very racy. I think he was like 19 when he wrote and produced this. Also he played every instrument in this song (I wanna be your lover). Talented

[@markb1114]

Great song. Can't go wrong with Prince.

[@joy88867]

Bed dancing! Haven’t heard this song in forever! 💕☮️

[@melissadambro8873]

Yess!!!! Awesome Prince song! Also check out "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?"

[@amosglitterz2649]

The 'out-tro' on the original goes on for 3:30. Best part of the song (in my opinion) and it's always cut short!

[@willfromyadkinville]

the game changer! the remix was even better! and boy did he do greater stuff! his musical Genius is matched by no one!

[@Annabee399]

Prince is my teen era. And the look vocals and that 🎸 did some things to women and men. 💜😂👍

[@jacqueline4514]

Prince’s first hit, and for me, his BEST! In 2016 I was driving back home to NJ from CA (hated it, lol); will always remember blasting this song, singing with tears in my eyes. He played EVERY instrument on this!❤️

[@ThePittsburghToddy]

Y’all gotta hear Lady Cabdriver and Erotic City for more of Prince freak vibe.🖖🏼

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

Man.. Prince was kinda like the Babe Ruth of Music. Even as a rookie walk on, he just strolled up to the plate, points at the back wall, then knocks it completely outta the park, bustin’ windshields and setting off car alarms and shit.. Daaamn Prince, you just gonna walk up and school all the seasoned pros like that?? You know MJ, George Clinton, James Brown, and Rick James were all like: “Oh, so it’s gonna be like THAT, then is it?? Ok then.. alright..”

[@DaisyAnnabelle65]

Prince was a musical genius! ❤️

[@kennycrockett8202]

This was the beginning of the Minneapolis Sound, that he and Andre Cymone created, Andre Cymone and Prince grew up together, the Minneapolis Sound is straight up thumpin funk

[@AugieDoggyDoo]

Great reaction. You have no choice but to bop to that song. It is in my top 5 prince songs. Do "Controversy" if you have not already. There can NEVER be another Prince. It is not possible. Just like Michael J., It cannot happen. Two of the most talented musicians and icons of the music industry. I grew up with both of them. Tragic losses to their fans.

[@TZ61]

It'll be even better when you hear the whole song.

[@Studamato]

Most people thought this was Michael Jackson. Love this song!

[@sarahdixon1943]

Ahh, waaay old school!!! Lots of people have no idea this is his song 😉

[@deejayturtle]

HUSH ASIA... let the man dance. Don't listen to her BJ. Go through that funky blue shirt and wig on and do your thing, LMAO. If you watch the official video to this you will see him playing everything... that's because on the album he did. The man was a modern Mozart.

[@jeanstrickland2445]

Dam near blew my hip out dancing with you guy’s ,😂😂

[@AsiaandBJ]

Oh no don't do that! lol

[@lizbrown6943]

This was from his second album. Check out his first hit Soft and Wet on first album For You. Acoustic and Prince.

[@endo8886]

You guys have to do prince, adore: one of the best vocals on a song ever🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️

[@lisahumphries3898]

I totally forgot about this Prince song! So good hearing it again!! Miss him so much. Thanks guys!

I never knew this was Prince growing up. Always thought purple rain was his first

[@tanyapearcy2524]

one of my favorites to do in karaoke, Love this song

[@normanrose2711]

I would also recommend his songs controversy and Just as long as we're together

[@stevenblock9712]

His first hit and the first time we became aware of him.

[@pumpkinhead34]

Favorite Prince song evah!

[@stanleyrichiii4474]

Prince was a Super star from day one. We had to catch up.Genius, is to small a word to describe him. I knew when I first heard him. If you listen to the music. Put out by a teenager. You might get it. And he only got better. Only a handful, can be put in his category.

[@nancyj795]

That was his first hit.

[@deborahtaylor3617]

This is from second album. His first album has the song Soft n Wet that was a first hit for him

[@nancyj795]

@@deborahtaylor3617 "Soft n Wet" did alright on the R&B charts, but "I Wanna Be Your Lover" hit No. 1 on the R&B chart and 11 on the Billboard 100, getting massive radio play.

[@captaincell]

I'm saying this last, even though it's first. "Let's Pretend We're Married," should be the next Prince song y'all react to. The extended version, please. This might be a dumb question, and I kind of hope it is, but have y'all ever listened to a Prince album? Have you heard all of his hits from the '80s and '90s? Have you ever heard him sing, "Let's Pretend We're Married"? Best first lyrics ever, EVER! 😆 "Excuse me, but I need a mouth like yours to help me forget the girl that just walked out my door." "1999" has DMSR, You can't listen to DMSR without singing, "OOO, ALRIGHT, DANCE MUSIC SEX ROMANCE," by the second verse. Automatic, I just watched the official,"Automatic", video and at the end they tied him to a bed.😆 There are more good songs on the 1999 album, but he's got some great songs on, "Dirty Mind" and "Controversy," too. For example, "I don't understand all the things people say. Am I black or white am I straight or gay?" from Controversy, and, "When you were mine U were all I ever wanted to do Now I spend my time Following him whenever he's with you," from Dirty Mind.

[@SargNickFury]

It blows my mind that anyone who lived during 80's and 90's could not know this song. Prince was on fire, and beyond just being an incredible musician in his own right, wrote incredible songs for a number of artist. For all the credit Michael gets ask the prince of pop, Prince just had more talent in him than ANYONE in the buisiness. It's also funny in hindsight how everyone thought Prince was the freaky one....when he was actually more down to earth than his peers.

[@tommythompson9565]

Such a good song. I recall this song coming out in 1979. Was huge. For good reason. Too bad you played the short version. That outro keeps on going on the album version.

[@thorfinsky1427]

A song later in his career you should react to is "RocknRoll LoveAffair". Or maybe if your in the mood "Erotic City". 😜
