Prince - I Wanna Be Your Lover (Official Music Video)

At one point in 1984, Prince simultaneously had the No. 1 album, single, and film in the US; it was the first time a singer had achieved this feat. No music star will ever beat that feat. Even Michael Jackson never accomplished that. Purple Rain was an "Event" in my country.

Prince wrote this song at 18-19 years old, it was a demo. He wrote "I feel for you" and "I wanna be your lover" for a female artist Patrice Rushen. She turned them both down. Rushen did go on to have a hit of her own "forget me nots." This is why those two songs sound like they could be sung by women. I feel for you was covered by multiple female artist a few years after Prince did the songs himself in 1978-79. Rushen missed out. R&b still had a bluesy feel to it at the time. The young Prince set the tone for the future of R&B and was a major influence in pop music.

.. Prince was a teenager when his first couple of albums were composed, produced, arranged and preformed alone.. I know that the thumbs down people didnt/couldnt make a single hit. ANY REAL musician would respect that Prince did all the work and mastered countless instruments. More than likely they have only dabbled in one instrument or they would know that being a multi instrumentalist isnt easy. I cant really understand any other reason for a thumbs down. He is the most PROLIFIC writer in history.. Prince broke the genre lines and is a genre of his own. That should be praised by any real musician.

[@Kellykoop]

Definitely one of the most talented musicians in my lifetime (and I was born in the late 60s)

[@kalelwilson8337]

He actually thought himself to play 26 different instruments...he was very intelligent.

[@adc2327]

Prince played 26 instruments. I admit some of them were similar such as bass, guitar Etc. And then there was piano and organ and even the drums!

[@lizwilliamson8332]

It’s 1978, I’m 14 years old and so excited to have my first record player. This was the second single I ever bought - I loved it from the minute I heard it and still love it to this day. It was played on repeat non stop ❤

I want to personally thank Prince for helping me with the ladies back in the day. When this album came out, I was a young man still developing my "rap" and just playing Prince's music would put the women in a excited mood. :) RIP Prince. Still can't believe you're gone.

[@greggmitchell2392]

I was in 7th grade in 1979 and I called up the local radio station and asked them to play & dedicate Prince's "I Wanna Be Your Lover" to my new girlfriend - and they did! This was the track that made me get into Prince - the next year, I bought 1980's Dirty Mind, loved it, and on & on... RIP funky genius

[@CandaceLeAnne]

dollbaby4400 For me the year was 1979. I was 9 years old. I was watching Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert and Prince launched into I Wanna Be Your Lover wearing tiger striped bikini briefs and a tiger striped vest. It freaked me out because his hair was just as it is on this video. My cousin and I laughed in disbelief. Fast forward to Do Me Baby and the Controversy album and I was a screaming pre teeny bopper at the age of 12. It was the feeling his music created that drove us wild. And the way he could make his voice go up and down with skill. When 1999 came out I was a diehard Prince friend.

Prince has so many rap type bars its absolutely fascinating to me. I'm only 31 but my Dad played a ton of Prince and recently passed so I've been digging up memories. I always liked Prince but now I'm starting to see how hes probably one of the best artists to ever exist.

I lost an uncle this week. While he was far from my favorite person, and we didn’t see eye to eye on - well - anything really, we were always able to bond over our shared love of funk, and ESPECIALLY Prince. This was his favorite song, so I’ll be blasting it in his honor for the next few days. RIP Uncle Greg, RIP Prince.

You didn't just enhance my life with your fantastic music, you changed it, much for the better. And that's not just some cliche.
