Prince Reaction When Doves Cry (IT'S THE TUB + CHEST HAIR FOR ME!?!!) | Empress Reacts

[@lobo667-z1e]

One of my favorite songs of all time. I love ❤️ this song. Great video reaction ❤

[@EmpressReacts]

Thanks!

[@tbay]

Prince was the rock n roll funk king.

[@RicoBurghFan]

Thank you Empress for playing the long version! This song is pure 🔥🔥🔥, one of all time favorites. And it sure don't sound 40 years old, so much better than the bland crap you hear today. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 👍🏾💯♥️

[@dalee72]

Almost 40 years old. It'll be 40 years old in 2 more years. 😘

[@mattjohn4731]

Yeah the record labels don't sign true artists anymore. But the indie labels release stuff by true artists sometimes. In my opinion. I think commercial success and artistry have really been separated over the years. Prince was genius

[@BrooklynLove55]

Girrrrl, “When Doves Cry” is my all time jam!!!! Prince my all time favorite artist! The intro guitar is banging. Dig if you will the picture… Enjoy Prince, my musical sister. 🎸🥁🕊️💜👑

[@EmpressReacts]

Sis he had me at the line😂😂😂

[@scottlavine7363]

First time I heard it was when it premiered on WDAS in the Philly region … I was speechless.

[@timothyb3121]

Hey 👑. I'm so glad that you reacted to the " Extended" version of the song/ video, it has gotten on my last nerves when I've seen other reactors just play the " edited" version, And Im like that's only half of the song. LoL

[@mattjohn4731]

That was his band The Revolution. They were with him in his drama film Purple Rain. Which this video is made from. When he was first signed (round '78) he played every instrument on his first couple records!! He was a badass

[@mikecaetano]

"When Doves Cry" was the lead single from the Purple Rain album. It went to the top of the charts in the US in 1984. The song was huge. The album dropped the summer before my senior year in high school and you could hear the songs from it were everywhere you went that year.

[@revgurley]

Fan of Prince since the early 80s. I watched an interview with his sound engineer (may Prince RIP), and she discussed all the changes he made to this song, all the instruments, the tracks...and it wasn't working. Kept adding. Worse. So he pared it down and took out the bassline -VERY rare! And it still hit #1. Prince was a genius in every sense of the word. Thanks for this reaction. New sub! (if a few months late). Edit to add: if you haven't watched the movie Purple Rain, it's a MUST. All the songs make a plot to the movie, which is why so many of these videos look like they're from a movie. The movie was iconic to all things 1980s. And Prince...well, genius. Said that before.

[@EmpressReacts]

I still haven't watched the movie and thanks for the sub!!

[@brynneholt1990]

He has a ton of bangers, so you don’t have to decide your favorite. 😉 And this came out when I was young, so I can’t remember when I first saw it, but I must say it’s been a while since I’ve seen the extended video. This song is from the movie Purple Rain. A lot of great songs in there. I love The Beautiful Ones and Let’s Go Crazy.

[@scanspeak00]

Still remember when this was released as a kid. Prince's musical genius revealed along with his exceptional guitar skills. I think my favourite Prince song is still Little Red Corvette.

[@EmpressReacts]

🔥🔥

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Prince period is what does it for me! Checkout his songs “The Beautiful Ones” 😍and “Darling Nicki.” I could put a list of his HITS as long as my arm!! LOVE him sooo much! R.I.P. the one and only Prince-💜🙌🏻💜. His MOVIE Purple Rain is a MUST!Prince plays his role himself-🙂✨💃

i gotta check those songs out

@@EmpressReacts ey thanks for the reply. Its the intro =) made me smile. what an opening and you totally caught it

[@robinbeerman4726]

Prince always great. Since him and his mom was abused I always thought doves crying were children. But that was my interpretation.

[@billtroxell2148]

Prince was very under rated, an he was a Hell of a guitar player also

[@billtroxell2148]

@@Harris_Color well right before he did the while my guitar gently weeps with all the stars, Rolling Stone had just put out there 200 all time best guitar players and he wasn't even on it. That's why he was acting that way when he did the video, he was pissed off, and should have been.

[@billtroxell2148]

@@Harris_Color yeah RSM was a good source in the 80's, they went down hill pretty fast.

[@winslow551]

My favorite song by the Purple One. So much soul and funk with the guitar intro that guitarists considered to be classic!!!

[@wandamanning9198]

Prince was the sexiest man on the planet!!! Lol

[@cheriwinn3852]

Loved your reaction! Prince is a one man army! He checks every box and IMO there isn't anyone with more charisma. He's sexy AF and he knows what women want😍

[@EmpressReacts]

Thanks

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

liking the tub and the taco meat oh yeah😂👍🏻 It's actually Prince doing all the vocals on this one empress he overdubbed all kinds of stuff on so much of his stuff produced his own material.

[@EmpressReacts]

Oh so cool and nah I pass on the taco meat😂

[@robinbeerman4726]

Prince could dance as well as MJ. But wrote sang self taught 27 instruments. True artist. Dated super models considered very sexy by some

[@WCD199317]

This song was one of his biggest singles of his career. This and ''Kiss'' was consider has his two signatures songs of his career and his two most reconnasable songs of Prince. This song spent five weeks at n.1 in US in 1984. This song was the first single of his album ''Purple Rain''. ''Purple Rain'' was his fattest selling album (25 millions since his released in 1984) and was also his most successful in terms of singles, with the first four singles all reaching the top 10 in US, including the massive n.1 ''When Doves Cry'' and ''Let's Go Crazy'' and the three first singles remains three massive worldwide hits. Prince was his highest of his success with this album. He continued to make many successfuls albums after that, including the critically acclaimed ''Sign o' the Times''.

[@EmpressReacts]

Interesting! So this was his peak

[@elysium30]

good reaction. made me smile

[@slimlouis6441]

You should see the video of him discussing the production of the track and how he just decided to drop the entire bass line. Which is basically why the track sounds like nothing else, or at least began to.

[@EmpressReacts]

Omg! Gotta see that

[@dalee72]

I'm glad that you reacted to the extended version because of the guitar solo, his screaming and the regal organ synthesizer solo. Now you should react to his movie Purple Rain.

[@scottvanhille5688]

This is my favorite song by Prince. Thanks for reacting to it. The beat, melody, and harmonizing voice makes this a fire BOP. 10's across the board for this one :D

***...THERE IS NO WAY I CAN DESCRIBE THE EARTH SHATTERING, LIFE GATHERING, GAME CHANGING, SEISMIC SHIFT OF THIS TUNE THAT EMPRESS MISSED... BUT, ALL I CAN SAY IS IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT TUNE FOR 1984...AND, MUSIC....TRIVIA TIME!!*** ..ha-HAA!! (5:00)

I was wondering why you hadn't done this one yet! 😁 Do it Prince! 💜

[@openyourchakras918]

This is my favorite Prince song, super thrilled to watch this reaction 💗 💫

[@tracynorman1455]

I was glad you played th longer version of the song too. I saw this shortly before my 12th birthday in 1984 when it first came out. I kind of knew who Prince was before this, but this is when I fell in love. He’s been my number one favorite ever since.

[@tomlegener6131]

Have you done Little Red Corvette or Raspberry Beret yet? 10's ...

[@EmpressReacts]

Thank you so much!!

[@royg9080]

Love this song and your reaction Empress!!! I would also put this up there as one of my favorite Prince songs. I do remember all the Prince and Purple Rain movie frenzy back in 1984 even though I was too young to see the movie in the theater! 😂. I still wore this movie soundtrack cassette tape out and I remember being obsessed with this song in particular!

[@EmpressReacts]

Thanks!

[@GregHall-v1n]

You have such a great ear for music.

[@EmpressReacts]

Thanks 😍

[@romeosyne]

I heard when they were mixing this song Prince was not happy in the studio and the engineer was like well what do you want to see happen and Prince just pulled the fader for the bass guitar track completely out and stared back at the engineer. 'That's what I want to hear' he remarked. It's funny you never realize there's no bass until you hear the story...just one example of prince's genius...

[@EmpressReacts]

wow! great story!
