[@Detroitblue]

@@ksoulfinder1776 What about that time was so painful for you?

[@shethingsd]

​@@Detroitblueas an adult now it wouldn't strike me. The draw was something otherworldly. And what my parents definitely would not approve. It started a few years before that. And really some of the best music of my life.

[@Detroitblue]

@@shethingsd I was definitely under the spell that was in the music and only instruments that promoted lust. I think that is what you trying to say. As a youth that is what fixated us, love and lust and relationships. As an older adult I have been delivered from many of the trappings of my youth. But if going back mean going back to that time and being that age again I would take it without a 2nd thought .

[@shethingsd]

@@Detroitblue it wasn't really a lust thing for me but rather a rebellion. I was a good Catholic girl until I met my now ex husband at 24. Even my mom worried about me being unusual romantically. In the beginning, especially the early songs and videos, I just knew the priest, nuns, and all the people I despised would hate it. Later, around Purple Rain time, I was old enough to be wowed by his amazing talent. The ability to play so many instruments. I was recently surprised to read/learn, Prince recorded When Doves Cry alone. And it's one of the very few #1 hits without a bass line. Someone told him, "You're Prince. You can take the bass out." Part of the reason I fell in love with my ex husband was he was a self taught master of many instruments and a writer of songs. He was probably more of an ass and abusive, but he was super talented.

@@Killerbrick It's Rick freaking James we are talking about lol the guy had music flowing thru his viens and was great in his own right ..should he in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fsme as well. But it's Prince who rose to top like he should. One the most influential artists of the Last 50 years.

I miss this version of The Revolution. Also, I never thought that there would be a time when so wouldn’t be able to see Prince in concert. In Detroit we had a special relationship with him. He would get on the radio and talk to us, he did shows for an entire week, he was just a special dude. My whole rap in high school was Prince based and it got me a lot of girls. Between him and Morris they taught me how to be cool. I really hate that he’s not around for me anymore but I appreciate the time that he was my friend even though he never knew it.

The vocal ranges are truly phenomenal. For the love of all things holy, he is truly missed by so many. I am truly grateful to live in his Era and experience his greatness.

Wow! That talent derives from a painful upbringing. Prince was truly a testament that you can turn a negative situation into a gift to share with the world.

[@marialoch6450]

Absolutely 🤗 Outstanding, Unique and Sensual Performance by Prince! I never get tired watching Prince original performance!

[@bcharger0620]

I was lucky enough to see Prince in concert in 1988 it’s was an amazing time.

[@julesswitchengage28]

All musical instruments in this song are so phenomenal specially the bass slap and Prince’s voice. Feels like heaven.❤❤❤❤ RIP Prince😊

[@maxinerussell6857]

When back on Prince early performances can see his evolution up to last performance. It was a wonderful experience. Prince could sing the same song and everything he gave more of himself.

[@evonnegreen7852]
