Look at this!! It's 2023(almost 2024) and we're STILL discovering Prince's music. 7 years after his death. I haven't heard anything from Michael Jackson..... Have you?! Keep the funk rolling.....

[@MrDarkmarius]

When I was growing up, we were DIRT POOR!!!!!! I was too busy being hungry to like music. But when I turned 15, I suddenly started listening to Prince. I have no idea what song turned me onto Prince. At age 15, I was listening to Prince 7 days & nights EVERY SINGLE WEEK. I listened to his album PURPLE RAIN on a small tape player using headphones. I listened to every song on the purple rain album as I slept. TO THIS DAY, I can sing that ENTIRE ALBUM VERBATUM PERFECTLY. . .

[@natashajackson510]

His music created another world for sure

Stumbling upon these vault uploads is like finding old family photos in the attic that you didn't know existed....like finding money in the pocket of some clothes you haven't worn in forever...like bumping into an old friend in a place you never expected to see them.

[@lnapjr76]

As we true Prince fans know, he was a big fan/supporter of the great Larry Graham. In this particular set of recordings, I can hear the Larry Graham influence VERY strongly. Prince was the master of incorporating many musical influences into his own style...not merely copying them. He truly is one of the rarefied, generational musical geniuses of all time. Unmatched and unrivaled.

What an artist, he programmed all the synths too.. it was another part of his genius. It gave him a sound that nobody else had what great sounds his guitar playing was raw and inspired and funky.

[@thepromiseman7745]

[@user-zz7fd8tg9x]

Proof of genius with great sound. Outstanding "power to capture the times" can be felt in sounds like "Earth Wind & Fire" or "Azymuth". Feeling the early Prince's seeds, this album deserves to impress us, even if it's not an official release. I pray for gratitude and a good night's sleep for the happiness and his existence that I was able to live in the same age as him. From warm spring Japan. Love & Peace 素晴らしいサウンドによる天才の証明。卓越した「時代を捉える力」は「Earth Wind & Fire」または「Azymuth」のようなサウンドに感じ取れる。初期のプリンスの芽生えを感じ取れるこのアルバムは、正式なリリースでは無くとも私たちを感動させるに十分に値する。彼と同時代に生きることができた幸福と彼の存在に、感謝と安らかな眠りの祈りを贈る。暖かな春の日本から。Love&Peace

[@malcolmmaxwell3696]

His manager messed up on Prince first album. I am glad that Prince took full control after that. Some of these songs and some of these versions should of been on for you

[@kirkg811]

I like how he stretches out the guitar solo on My Love Is forever. I was working in a record store when For You came out. I jumped on it because the brother on the cover looked to be my age. Little did I know at the time what he would become. And to think, he was launching one of the greatest careers in music history while I was just being a teenager. WB should release all of his albums with these extra tracks that weren't on the originals. CW, I don't know how you do what you do but DON'T STOP!

[@ChrisBennettGameDesign]

That last bit is like listening to Poppy interview Prince. 😂🙌💜

[@imaginationunreal]

I've said it before, many times, that his genius never ceases to amaze me. To write, produce and play like this at such an early age is proof positive of his destiny and legend. My greatest wish is that the masters to *all* of his unreleased tracks be turned over to top-notch producers and remastered. Thanks again for sharing this.

Is there any bad song ???? Nope. Why ? Because they're all dope. Prince's songs define Music better than any dictionaries, just like Jesus defines Christianity better than any pope.

To be honest I think that Jesus’ definition would be radically different from that of any Christian who ever lived. Jesus probably would not be a christian himself if you catch my drift 🙂 Or, the other way around, as Nietzsche said, there only ever was one christian and he died on the cross 🙂

My first experience to prince was oon soul train !! He opened with drive! So humble soft spoken.. Buy he mastered all instruments by picking it up. Most tracks he recorded i his studio every instrument all the melodies and sang lyrics recorded and mixed his. Tracks then played to his band.. This is what i want from my band!! Prince had me hooked the moment he opened his mouth!! Miss what he could have shared if he was still here!! Incredible artist entertainer was unmatched to this day!!

[@peteywheatstraws4909]

Stevie Wonder also did all his songs, drums, keys, vocals, etc, then brought the recordings to his guys when they hit the road. There's no one, of any genre, that has done things like those two, in the past 75 years, if not longer. Genius is applicable.

He was like 19-20 years old when he produced this music. Think about that young America...Just think about it...

[@sophii8674]

@Nakia Irvin He graduated at 17. He was 20 for his first album.

[@hindukushethnostate3288]

Also...during his early years the record label made him lie about his age and say he was younger than he really was, to push him as 'teen idol star' or whatever. (that's why it says 17 yo in that Warner pic in vid) This among other tensions started his animosity and sometimes outright hatred towards the Music industry. He fought with them all his life (and also why he changed name into symbol). Funny tho cuz in a sense the music industry created an enemy they couldn't stop or control because Prince was too good

[@TheTwonne1]

Yep. And it'll never be repeated in this generation or the generations to come.

[@racontoor]

They’ve thought about it and don’t care, Boomer.

[@MentalS6k]

Thank u so much for the uploads. truly enlightening. I will mourn & celebrate this man for the rest of my life. Fun fact: For the 1st 2 albums prince sang the entire albums in his falsetto. He once said he didn’t think ppl would like his lower register. It wasn’t until Dirty Mind that he started to develop his style in tonality at the mid & lower parts of his voice. To my knowledge it wasn’t until ‘I Love U In Me’ the b side to ‘Batman’s’ ‘The Arms Of Orion’ that Prince sang in a more natural Baritone. Anyway just sharing. Rest In Peace brother. Miss u xx

[@Nissardpertugiu]

He is a baritone . So its not that develop a register , just exposing what is your basic register

[@sunnyseacat9232]

Fantastic. Music is still fresh, exciting, jamming, a kick to listen to ... "My Love is Forever" - lovely. I remember first hearing this many moons ago and thought, "oh, how sweet" and girls saying that he was gay. What?! Crazy. Well, this recording still holds up. This is the real Prince, beneath all his bravado.

I really dig Prince's music . We Can Work It Out reminds me of the vocal riff Michael Jackson uses in Let Me Show You the away to go. Also his voice always reminded me of Philip Bailey. Musically he was something else. Really enjoyed these demos probably from the Record Plant during his For You sessions.

[@richmck007]

Prince’s talent is devine. His to own and do as he pleases. In the end, it all comes out. This is from a time when most people were denied real funk! Unless you have a decent pair of speakers and amp or headset, you ain’t feeling this jazzy funky vibe🕺🏽🎼🕺🏽

In 1978 one of my best friends told me there was a teenage my age that just released his LP and produced it and played every instrument on new LP, and I said "No Way" because EW&F was my favorite group and they had 15 musicians, including the Phoenix horns. He gave me Prince's LP to lesson too, and I immediately fell in love with Prince Rogers Nelson (and I am a hederal sexual man). I couldn't do anything but lesson to Prince. Damn, this was the most talented musician in the world at the time. When I finally saw him on American Band Stand, I said I wanted to also be a musician. I will always love P and believe 100 percent that Warner Brothers Record had Prince murdered to get his masters back and this vault music.
