play that funky music live by the one and only PRINCE Rock and roll hall of fame

[@Chanta-nh8et]

The ultimate showman. He had every audience mesmerized just by being himself. RIP Prince you are very missed.

[@1amybean]

Yes, Prince, you CAN play your guitar! 💜

[@oldzoot]

good lord ahmighty that man could shake the foundations. consummate musician/performer/poet/visionary/could rock a house down!!! RIP my man. you are sorely missed.😎

can i get an AMEN?!!

[@kimcrews1721]

​@@karenstark9235Amen and hallelujah

[@toniwalser3989]

I always liked Prince, but never realized or understood how talented and what an amazing guitar player and song writer he really was. He was an incredible musician.

[@gregmason2208]

He sure knew how make the strings scream. A very underrated guitarist.

[@Straightupshooter]

Give him any song and he’ll make it his own. No one improvises like Prince. His creativity and ingenuity is out of this world, no one can touch him. Everyone wants to play with him, he elevates everyone to another level. Total master class.

[@spblat]

Absolute mastery. The showmanship of James Brown, the shredding of Hendrix, the funkaliciousness of Bootsy, plus he was his own individual thing too. Gone too soon ♡

[@drk.i.a.2969]

Great analysis I feel yaw 100%.

[@88pynogrl]

His guitar playing is out of this world!!!😳

[@mattraino3274]

He’s a badass in furry white boots!

Right!! At five feet tall! He will take your bitch with lil high heals on!🥰🥰🥰

[@denisearmbruster7478]

You got that right!!!

[@CowboyPants-h5p]

The best thing about this, for me, is John Blackwell (RIP) laying down that funky beat so flawlessly. One of the best.

I agree..VIBING!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Man I wished I would have seen him in LIVE!.... SO TALENTED!

[@youngangus1964]

this guy was so underrated as a guitar player

[@drk.i.a.2969]

By who? They were underrated...& anyone who heard or saw him.& loved music...wud never underrate him. Thats far fetched...& its natural that others dont like things you or others like again that just humans & shld be no surprised..your the 1st that I've heard him underated.

There was nobody better than Prince. The man could make a guitar sing.

Well, that didn't just politely knock on the doors. It kicked them in and walked right in! Amazing! What a composer, arranger, and player.

There really was, is and ever will be only one Prince Rogers Nelson. Respect. Gone far and way too soon.

[@Jodeanson.23]

Damn. I miss that man.

[@Ikufario]

Looking up definitions for real coolness, sexyness, creativity, style and being funky you will stumble across this man‘s name. Legend!

[@IngridWooten]

Prince was genius about putting amazing talents around him. He himself could play 5 instruments. In my opinion he is in the top 3 greatest guitar player.

[@JaneBeam]

He could actually play 13 instuments.

[@IngridWooten]

@@JaneBeam wow! Learn something new everyday. He is even more super talented than I thought.

[@dougmiyamoto3109]

Hard to say who is the best guitarist of all time, but I'd say Prince is the tastiest.

[@robinmartin9510]

I read somewhere that Eric Clapton was asked how it felt to be the best guitar player ever. His response was that's a question for Prince.

We the world miss you Prince. Back in the day, we all knew he was from another world and way ahead of his time! A true Genius, that ya just couldn’t put your finger on it( way before internet) but YA we all Rock & Roll guitar players fully groves on his stuff, he had Hotties & wicked guitar, kind of strange But 1,000% original & No Rules of the game & on the edge! but his guitar playing was under appreciated, buy all the rest lyrics & ??Flash & dancing club stuff, Definitely had the Funk& never forget how it would be Fun - pump ya up! …ooh so sad, on many levels. He may have been in shadow of MJ, but to be honest, Sad but true, some/ many did not feel a thing sad when M Jackson was Gone) But Prince ! We all were blown away and knew we experienced someone the world may never see again of equal. R.I.P. our beloved Friend, your spirit in music has & will inspire untold souls.

[@drk.i.a.2969]

Just think what replaced him in todays music...kendrick Lamar 😅😅😅 kids dont hv a clue of what they missed or missing. Its a crime...how the industry went cheap & fake. So happy I saw all of them got their albums..saw all the funkateeres & bands, Mike & the Jacksons..jamed on stage with Jazz/rock/funk Stanley Clark! I was in the special seating area ie dance floor with tables & seating...he came out the crowd got hyped..he said hi & want someone to come up & introduce the first song! Every on the floor ran up I was in front w/a firend who was a IU standout & won a ring & was recruted to nba but that summer got in car accident & was paralyzed from waste down & he was a big fan & they knew each other as his top fan...since he cudnt come on stage (was one of two escorts for him..) & so Stanley chose me! I rock the opening statement & everyone was in their feat..He played the song "I want to play you" those were my words..1st I said "everybody say yeaaaa! Yea! Yea! They were hyped then after the 3time they looked at me like ok enough😅😅..then I said stantley I want you to play for fir me stanley😅😅..he started & its was insane..then they escorted me..off..so they cud tear the song up...I allmost didn't make it! My nephew was Landon's roady & called me in Bloomington In..(I was in college @ IU) & had a hr to get to Indy! I got dressed & got their just in time 45mins! To be the second escort..My star moment! 1985!.

プリンスは背が低い事をかなり気にしていたそうで、特製の靴で補っていたそうですが、この靴もいかにも特製という感じでしっかり補っていますね。

[@JenniferOzak]

Those shoes (combined with his James Brown -like moves) caused his hip trouble, then he wouldn’t get replacement surgery because of his religion, and so he became reliant on painkillers, which is what ultimately killed him. Vanity cost him his life. I truly thought he was smarter than that. So sad.

Have you ever asked yourself why the words “play that funky music WHITE boy” are allowed in is this song, when no record company would ever allow the lyrics “play that funky music BLACK boy” in a song? 🤔 🤔 🤔

[@Peter-976]

No, not really. The song was released in 1976.

[@BillLaBrie]

Things were different back then. Got us where we are today.

[@russellcunningham2118]

Sorry, wild cherry did it way better, just my opinion. Seen them at Wheeling Park dance when I was a kid. Just saying

[@andyd5492]

Minus one for not singing the lyrics. Guiter was good, though.

[@SteveV2023]

By Prince, no...definitely not by him and shouting works you can't understand is not singing.
