Purple Rain Tribute FAMU Spring 16 Commencement

FAMU Wind Symphony ft. BK Jackson

[@great9800]

Remember when the 100 performed in Prince's Superbowl halftime show? In the pouring rain? That was amazing!

[@lorettabryant1286]

I've told folks on many occasions, Prince's band members (all of them starting with the Revolution) are a MUST in true tribute. These folks worked with the Purple Maestro and know his techniques. They are the only ones who can come close to his sound. This clip proves my point. You can "almost" see Prince grinning from ear-to-ear on those solos. As for myself, I am in tears (again) at the beautiful music and far reaching impact Prince left us

[@AGB32805]

The band provides just the right level of accompaniment to the sax soloist. #AWESOME

[@SheLuhCamm]

Played his heart and soul out into that song and nailed it

[@hbcualum7732]

Wow the sax and the audience as Prince's voice -- the ONLY 'voices' that could truly honor him. because nothing compares 2 prince's voice and emotional presentation of this song. yes definitely Bravo and beautiful!

[@usmanioa]

That was amazing. I literally got chills.

[@julienceaser]

Wow such a beautiful tribute.. He always loved the sax.. I read he even tried to learn how to play it ..but I imagine was hard on his lungs maybe.. either way this is the kind of tribute I'm sure he would've loved and does... looking from the afterworld. Too hear this player wail and the spontaneous singers brings chills. So emotional.. ! May 0(+> RIP

[@jettieyoung6150]
