Prince was also a music activist. He lobbied for artists to own the music they created. He played twenty-seven instruments and produced all of his own music. He wrote, played, sang, recorded, and produced his first album when he was only 20 years old. He was an icon and set trends like "text speech" with songs like "I Would Die 4 U" and lots more. I cried the day he died.

Because real talk, culturally black folks are raised on their parent's music. I knew all of Motown when I was a kid even though that was the music my parents listened to when THEY were kids. Its like a rite of passage. Its one of the first things you teach your children.

[@lisanorwood827]

In reality the song was written by Prince. It was just within the movie’s storyline that Wendy and Lisa wrote it. Though Wendy’s guitar playing did inspire Prince to revamp the song from a Country song which he initially intended it to be into the Rock/Gospel song it became.

IMHO Prince was much cooler as a musician than Michael Jackson. MJ could sing , dance and composed some great Tunes, but Prince was funkier and could play virtually any instrument. Really underrated as a guitar player. Prince has a bunch of killer songs. You owe it to yourself to watch the entire movie "Purple rain".

Second the "Purple Rain" film rec -- puts some stuff in context. Not only could Prince play nearly any instrument, he could do almost any style. Look at some of the people he wrote music for. Or would show up to produce for. One of my favorite moments of him as just a musician (as opposed to modern music God) is this soundcheck: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6GVg2h3bNmWb6M I don't know exactly what it is about it, but it both just tears a hole in my heart and I love it.

As others have said, watch the movie because it was semi-autobiographical and amazing. Then, watch the documentary Purple Reign to learn more about the rest of his life. His vault of unreleased music (his vault) is said to contain enough songs to be able to release an album a year for the next 100 years. Just mind blowing. Also, he was one of the SEXIEST men alive❣️

Prince is one of those artists that EVERYONE has to have some in their catalog of music. Prince is a serious musical talent man. Check out the ENTIRE Purple Rain soundtrack. Not a bad song on it. He's got a ton of hits and classic jams. He can actually play all the instruments but he's a guitar god as well as a killer vocalist.

Actually man, if you get to it, watch the Purple Rain movie. I believe the sequel is something like Under the Cherry Moon or something ( I could be wrong though). Purple Rain is kind of like the story of how he got started.... kind of like a RUN DMC / Def Jam and Krush Groove kind of deal.

Hey guys, I just found your channel and I really love watching you guys listen to hit songs from the past. As an old timer from Oklahoma, I was around when many of these songs and artists made their way up the Top 40 charts. Since I was raised in an ultra conservative town where folks didn't accept people who looked like Prince, I was taught not to like Prince. Thank God that later in life I learned the truth - you can't judge people or their talent on the basis of skin color, religion, race, or their dress code! Prince was an unbelievably-gifted vocalist, guitarist, and musician. I don't know of a guitarist active today that can keep up with Prince. He was also an accomplished pianist/keyboardist, drummer, bassist and saxophonist. He played ALL instruments on his first two albums, "For You" and "Prince". Purple Rain became one of my favorite songs of all time. I hope you guys like it too ,and keep up the great job you are doing on your channel.
