Prince is the Greatest Artist to EVER walk the planet. Try Purple Rain live from Syracuse 1985.

[@oskarobit]

that is too long and too hard for beginners. Single version is enough, but even before that one, she should try with 'Kiss', 'When Doves Cry, Cream', 'Diamonds & Pearls' or even 'The Most Beautiful Girl In The World'.

[@oskarobit]

​@@ScottLaVine-br8wt people new to an artist and you're pretending to make'm swallow a thick video almost 17 minutes long. And in my opinion, as a Prince fan for over 40 years, it isn't even close to his best performance of Purple Rain or inspired guitar playing. It has much better material overall, better versions of Purple Rain and better (easier) songs to introduce people to the amazing world of Prince's ‘musicology’. It's like if you want to introduce someone to jazz and instead of recommending some vocal jazz with Nina Simone, Louis Armstrong or Samara Joy you decide it's a good idea as a starter to chew the half-hour live version of Coltrane's ‘My Favorite Things? or the nearly 20 minutes of Herbie Hancock's “Hornets”. It's insane. Diabolical. Do you want a new fan or a corpse?

Prince - The Most Beautiful Girl in the World Prince - Morning Papers Prince - Starfish and Coffee Prince - Lets Go Crazy Prince - 1999 Prince - I wanna be your lover

[@Lovejazz01]

If you love music , and you love making music, then you would love Prince , because he was one of the greatest musical minds in rock history, he lived, breathed, ate and slept music, he could write songs , arrange them, play every instrument in the studio, sing all of the background, mix it himself, then go onstage live and perform it better than anyone else. People consider him a modern Mozart, and in his life he probably made more music than anyone else in the music industry…

[@kevinhurston1555]

Prince is the greatest most talented artist ever ! He has a ton of great songs. You’re in for a great journey

[@kimtalley4496]

1999 is another one of his hits. Diamonds And Pearls is one of my favorite songs by Prince.

[@scottsilverman9948]

I find it hard to believe someone never heard prince before. HE WAS THE BEST his vocals are amazing he can sing high and low and hit every note. He also makes sounds in notes that noone else can hit

[@jazshas]

Girlfriend....dive in. I'm 65 and I went down the rabbit hole and having such a great time discovering Prince's music.

[@geneaikenii1092]

"Little Red Corvette"," "Darling Nikki", "Purple Raining", "Let's Go Crazy",

[@jjh5374]

What a wonderful and open reaction. I was lucky to grow up during this time and it felt like everyday was a new song that was amazing. Looking back we didn’t realize how lucky we were. Prince was a once in a lifetime artist. So many great songs.

[@sorensmith9873]

His whole music catalog would take you a really long time to comb through. Start with the hit songs, that in itself will only take you the next few months...if you do one a day lol

[@panface1000]

Stop right now and do the Prince dive properly. Go back to his first album and start there. It will be a looooooooong but enjoyable life changing event. Believe me i've lived it. Get on it girl and so refreshing to hear your energy. YOU ARE SO ON THE RIGHT TRACK WITH PRINCE.

[@MichaelCarter-rf3zw]

That's so amazing. Prince is a genius. From the beginning and the end

[@bearballin]

So glad you dove into Prince via one of his most popular "pop" songs, Raspberry Beret. You will find that Prince was a musical chameleon as he wrote, composed, performed, and produced all his music. His first major hit was "I Wanna Be Your Lover" in 1978. Here's a list of his most formidable hits from the 80s: "1999", "Let's Pretend We're Married", "Little Red Corvette", "Let's Go Crazy", "When Doves Cry", "Baby I'm a Star", Sign O the Times", "Housequake", "Alphabet Street", "You Got the Look", "Thieves in the Temple", "Kiss" ❤

[@jjjones8609]

Other major hits: Kiss When doves Cry 1999 Little red Corvette Purple Rain Let’s Go Crazy Cream Gett Off The most beautiful girl in the world DMSR Musicology The One

[@gregleblanc9357]

Yes!! All of the above

[@boshie2000]

You’ve never heard music until you’ve heard Prince and Stevie Wonder. Until then something will be missing. 💜💜♊️♊️ The two greatest singular artist musician songwriter singer producers in terms of overall talent and innovation and influence in the entire history of the rock and roll era.

[@daledodson1279]

That IS how good music was!

[@martingregory3434]

As a fellow Brit who was lucky enough to see him live 16 times when he graced our shores, I recommend moving ahead a couple of years to 1987s “I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man” Extended Version from the Sign O The Times concert movie. Make sure it’s the extended version so you can sample a tiny bit of his virtuosity live. Welcome to satisfaction!

[@wuffkornfeld6367]

Have to listen to "When doves cry" ..... a fantastic song, my absolut favorite ..... but in real ALL Songs from Prince are really, really great pieces of music !!

[@chrispotter9749]

Sign O’ the Times Pop Life I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man DMSR Money Don’t Matter 2 Night Controversy I Wanna Be Your Lover Do Me, Baby Pink Cashmere Shhh.. Insatiable THE ENTIRE ALBUM PURPLE RAIN (and watch the movie first would be my recommendation) Mountains Kiss Sometimes it Snows in April Black Sweat Musicology 1999 If I Was Your Girlfriend Adore Starfish And Coffee Damn U Gold Call My Name Eye Love You But Eye Don’t Trust You When You Were Mine Irresistible Bitch How Vome You Don’t Call Me Anymore 1999 (THE ENTIRE ALBUM!) Love The Most Beautiful Girl In the World Diamonds & Pearls 7 Partyman Head Uptown When You Were Mine Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad These are the essentials imo.

[@danhkom9703]

Prince is a great songwriter and singer. He combine R&B, funk, rock,,,,, Check his 1999, when doves cry, KISS, lets go crazy, and so many others. He also has written for other legendary artists like Chaka Kahn, the bangle, sheila,,,, the lists go... You already love him give it a try..

[@irisdixon6039]

[@loveloochay]

🎼🎼🎀🎼🎼 .. he is a one of a kind talent. Try "The Morning Papers" .. or "The Beautiful Ones" ... there are many, many great songs by Prince. 🎼🔥🎼

[@SoCalSal24]

Cool reaction Rere, Princes' discography goes on forever. BTW a beret is a hat woman wear.

[@creditorclass6513]

Prince was a genre unto himself, and it never sounded the same.

[@deen261]

I wanna be your lover is another awesome song...I think it may have been one of his first hits...💯%🔥🔥🔥

[@kali550]

Is this how good music was? Yes, and this is how good Prince was. He was so very unique. As a further suggestion, the song Adore is an absolute must and for something completely different, The Ride (live) is another side of Prince’s many, many styles.

[@jacklee5807]

So pretty, a natural beauty

[@timothyb3121]

New subscriber here. Your journey down the Prince "Rabbit hole" has only just begun, You have 40 years of Prince yet to be discovered and experienced. Try "Controversy" by him next.💜.

[@AlexanderCalderon-kd6mh]

A beret is a hat invented by the French worn by men & women & military personnel throughout the world. In the U.S., one of our top military units is known as the Green Berets. Prince was an amazing singer & guitarist! Some more Prince songs: When Doves Cry (this is my favorite song of his), 1999, Little Red Corvette, Let's Go Crazy, Purple Rain.

[@leodejongful]

American? :) It seems all Americans always suggest Little Red Corvette (and other 1999 and PR songs) while he got real big in Europe starting with this song right here. I'd suggest songs like Sign o the times, If i was your girlfriend, Girls & Boys, The Question of u, I could never take the place of your man (long version) and especially many, many live performances.

[@vinceblack4086]

U r in for the purple ride of your life Cant believe u have Never listened to the greatest of all time 😂💜

[@jennymulenga7374]

A little background: The Revolution was the name of the band behind Prince from 1979 to 1986 with a varying line up throughout the years. Prince was the frontman and wrote 95% of the music they did. The band got together again after his death in 2016 and still play shows today. The line up that most people are familiar with is the Purple Rain era 1984 line up, when the band consisted of Wendy Melvoin, Lisa Coleman, Matt “Dr. Fink” Fink, Mark “Brown Mark” Brown, Bobby “Bobby Z” Rivkin and, of course, Prince.

[@orlandoochoada2242]

Prince's cover of "Motherless Child" is worth checking out. "Let's Go Crazy" and " Purple Rain" from the 1985 Syracuse concert are also good. The official music videos are fine, but Prince's live performances are extraordinary.

[@mitchellbanks34]

He is music. Go explore! You're mind WILL be blown!

[@danielcowan8673]

Your deep dive into Prince will be a mentorship and inspiration for your own music making. He was THE WAY for Artistic Music Expression in the 80s. His live performances took his studio tracks to another level. So; Do Me Baby Little Red Corvette When Doves Cry ( extended version ) Purple Rain Purple Rain live in Syracuse 1985 Baby I'm a Star live 1985 The Beautiful Ones Kiss I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man - Sign of The Times Concert Movie The Cross - from the same movie If I Was Your Girlfriend - from the same movie U Got The Look Adore Lovesexy - Live Lovesexy Tour 1988 Empty Room - Montreux 2009

[@williamwilson9283]

Prince was amazing 👍💯❤️❤️

[@chrislaustin]

This is a great first tune to start your Prince journey with, as this was probably midway through his career. While I never stopped being a fan, Prince like many artist over a long span of years can often change styles, genres and bands. So this was the era I most enjoyed and didn't really partake in much of his music past this point in time, not because it was bad, but just not so much my style of music. But to see him perform, was to see a legend and he could have played "Mary had a Little Lamb" and you would leave saying you had seen one of the best, and that never changed for me. He was most certainly a once in a lifetime talent, R.I.P.

[@Rockscissorspaper]

This song definitely wasn't midway through his career. It was still relatively early for him: 1985.

[@edwardjohnson9745]

Prince is a journey...a wonderful music journey...there's so much brilliance out there from every stage of his career...and for me...its great seeing younger people getting into Prince and appreciating him...and I have to be careful at my age...lol...saying it was better in my day...😂...but it was better in my day...😂...I hope u continue your journey into Prince...u will discover an artist like no other.....enjoy

[@darrenmcclean5199]

I've been a Prince fan since 1987 and I'm still hearing new stuff, there is a LOT ! Start with the hits and work from there!

[@SaturnusDK]

True story. My first love actually did wear a raspberry beret of the kind you'd find in a second store when I first meet her. We dated for 5 years. Still talk her 30 years later from time to time even though she's now been married, got kids, divorced and remarried in the mean time. This song always reminds me of that moment when she waved away the blonde slightly curly bangs from under the beret and looked me in the eyes for the first time.

[@pokerchip54]

You really can't go wrong. Back in those days there were two particular groups of fans. Michael Jackson and Prince. Each group claims their idol was the greatest of all time so have a great time going down that road. Plenty of other great artists but those were the two most heralded and most versatile. Dance, ballads, funk, rock... Too much to choose from but all worthwhile. Personal favorite of mine from that same era is Sign of the Times.

[@bakercarl8518]

Another great song of a library of many. RIP. Great Purple One.

[@biggahblack5030]

Welcome to the Prince rabbit hole young lady. The Greatest. Songs Kiss and If I were your girlfriend, Cream and many more.

[@laoaganlester1728]

The Most beautiful Girl in the Word is a great slow jam!

[@jamietfranklin]

That's a lovely introduction. Yes, this is how good music was. Here is my advice. He produced ALBUMS. Listen to a disc if you can, from start to finish. It's a experience. Like a novel or a film. I wish you could start with Controversy. That's where I started, in the day!

[@dalee72]

He sang that he worked at a Five and Dime which is a general store.

[@harriettholmes539]

Fams on deck. Welcome to Prince, rabbit hole journey. You're about to go on a wild journey of Greatness. Prince was Extremely Talented. Prince Music Catalog is HUGE. I suggest Starting off with Prince younger years working your way up....... "Pop Life" "Girls and Boys" "When Dove Cry" "Kiss" "Forever in My Life" "Little Red Corvette" "Purple Rain" "Sign O' the Times" "If I Was Your Girlfriend" "I Wanna Be Your Lover" "U Got the Look" "Alphabet St" "Let's Go Crazy" "Chelsea Rodgers"

[@AW11-e4h]

The 80s were banging 🤘🤘

[@jannjordan3787]

A Beret is a Traditionally French style for hat that has been adopted by people and groups around the world. America has the US Army Green Berets who are a Special Forces team of trained soldiers who ware them with their Uniform. There are many young ladies be they French or from other countries who ware them because they consider them to look Chic stylish.

[@cheriwinn3852]

Love this reaction! Prince is one of the 2 or 3 "total package" entertainers in all of music history. Raspberry Beret is just the tip of the iceberg:) I'd check out 1999 next. It was released in 1982 and is a fun party song about the end of the world:D and is also a great representation of the Minneapolis Sound which he's the nucleus of. Here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJPPpWV7qauZeZYsi=5mr9fwGADchNETxm

[@Power_Fantastic]

Hee are just a few Prince music video clips that I think you will like: Little Red Corvette, Controversy, I could never take the place of your man, Insatiable, The Beautiful Ones. There are many more! 4ever

[@desertflow3r]

Omg you're still a baby; how could you be aware of all the wonders that came before? He has penned so many songs that it's almost impossible for me to make recommendations. However, I am fond of Diamonds and Pearls, Damn U, Eye Hate U, Adore, and Let's Go Crazy just to name a few. Enjoy your Prince journey...so excited for you!

[@RNDReacts]

Thanks so much for the encouragement and for sharing your favourite Prince songs! I’m excited to explore more of his music and dive into those tracks you mentioned. Your enthusiasm is really motivating. Stay tuned for more reactions!

So Brand new to Prince. Love it More, but go live Prince So much for you to discover Song is called Somewhere Here On Earth - on the Tonight Show Live You will fall in love with this man's voice

[@Lovejazz01]

Let me try to explain… IMO , I’m 63 years old and a Prince fan since 1978, and most people my age , we all played artists like Micheal Jackson around our kids , because it was all G rated, but Prince was more risqué, more adult oriented, so most didn’t play Prince around the kids, and he didn’t allow his music to be played in movies, tv shows and tv commercials, or even to be sampled. When you hear a Prince song (other than the snippets of his hits “Purple Rain and “ 1999” ) it was because you played it yourself. Prince had an incredible catalog of music from the late 70’s till his death in 2016, music they he released himself, and music that he created and produced for others, so you have a lot of music to enjoy…

[@BB-lx7wm]

I Wanna Be Your Lover, Pink Cashmere, Dorothy Parker, Moonbeam Levels, Damn U, Love 2 The 9s, The Dance, The Breakdown ... You know what? Just get a list of all his songs, close your eyes and stick a pin. You'll find him there 💜 Welcome 🙏🏽 🤗

[@jamesguerrero2993]

Welcome to the Gold mine of 80's music young lady. Prince is just one of the many geniuses from that era. A few other humble suggestions 4 u include: Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, U2, Van Halen, INXS, Tears for Fears. Eurythmics, Los Lobos, Midnight Oil, Depeche Mode, Fishbone, Siouxsie & the Banshees, David Bowie, REM, Iron Maiden, The Clash, The Replacements, RUN DMC, The Beastie Boys, Queen Latifah, Sade, The Go-Gos, Devo, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, Pat Benatar, The Ramones, The Pretenders, The Police and a few dozen more. Enjoy. 🤘

Beret is a french style hat.

[@creditorclass6513]

People who don't know music would always compare him, Michael. People who know music call him the Mozart of our times. Of all of the legends in music, he had more to do with his creations than anyone else.

You´ll need a whole lifetime to discover the whole Prince discography, literally. As for me, some of the greatest songs are the least ones known. Like 5 Women, Ripopgadazippa, The Ride, Damn U.....God way too many to name. Just give me any genre and I´ll give you a ton of great Prince songs in that genre. Imagine he´s also the author of Sinead O´Connor - Nothing Compares To U Martika - Martika´s kitchen and many others.
