You should watch the movie. Eric Clapton said he saw it “at a time when I thought rock and roll was dead, then I went to see Purple Rain. ... (and I thought) this is someone who is a reincarnation of Little Richard, Jimi Hendrix and James Brown in one. I thought that’s exactly what the world needed. Very controversial figure but I love him dearly and I think musically he’s a genius.”

Prince was the greatest singular artist and producer in terms of overall talent of the entire rock and roll era. He may not have been THEE greatest at anything but he was ONE of THEE greatest at nearly EVERYTHING. Vocals, guitar, bass, drums and piano. Nearly virtuosic on everything. Solely wrote and produced 39 studio albums for himself and nearly as many for others. The majority during his heyday certifying Gold, Platinum or Multi Platinum. With the Purple Rain soundtrack going Diamond. In the summer of 1984 Prince had the number one movie at the box office, number one album AND single on the charts at the same time for several weeks. Nobody ever did that. He gave the general consensus greatest halftime performance in history at Super Bowl 41 in Miami ending on the song Purple Rain during an actual Thunder and Lightning Storm and downpour. Has the most streamed guitar solos of any artist in history. Gave the most iconic performance in the history of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Sold over 150 million records on his own terms Took on his record label and eventually won all his master recordings back Donated millions upon millions to charities without taking credit Saved Coachella in 2008 and the festival turned a corner after that and started booking major talent like Kanye and Beyoncé. Won an Oscar. Directed several movies and concert films. As well as most of his videos. Has over 1200 reported songs he wrote in his vault at various stages. Including full movies, music videos and abandoned albums. On their best days The Beatles and MJ couldn’t hold his guitar case. He made the greats seem like amateurs in comparison. Like him or his music or not there is no denying his superior overall talents and hard work unless you’re lying or a stand up comedian. He also was a phenomenal band leader, athletic dancer who could do splits and twirls and leaps and mic stand tricks all while holding a guitar and singing. I once saw him play classical piano upside down. He was only 5’2 but his talent made him a giant. And he could steal any gorgeous woman from anyone all while wearing lace, makeup and 4 inch heels. Dude was a stone cold killer. Was on his own frequency. 💜💜💜♊️♊️♊️

Prince could play every instrument in his band and did in many of his songs because he had more control over how the music sounded and how his songs would be heard when someone heard it for the first time.

His guitar in Purple Rain is called the cloud. He had another guitar in the late 90s until he passed, that was shaped like the symbol he changed his name to. It's called the Love Sign. You want a good live performance, check out his Superbowl performance or if you want to hear him do a bass duet, he does Play That Funky Music/Hollywood Swinging/Fantastic Voyage. You get both, an awesome guitar solo and bass duet.

@neilpatrickhairless 2 ай бұрын

The guitar is called the "Cloud" and is based on a peach colored bass that André Cymone gifted to Prince (Prince is not only a great singer and guitarist, he had been able to play over a dozen instruments for most of his life) -- this particular one, the white Cloud six string was custom made by a man named David Rusan. Schecter and a few others have since put out (mostly bad) copies of the guitar but the original peach colored Cloud bass was possibly made by guitar makers from the company Spector. AFAIK it was unmarked and no serial numbers

The Purple One may be one of THE greatest musical talents of the 20th Century. He was a multi-talented genius who could play almost every instrument he put his mind to, and may have had perfect pitch. New Power Generation member Sonny T said after his passing that all Prince had to do was hear a song and he could immediately play it. Prince wrote somewhere between 500 to over ONE THOUSAND songs altogether, though not all of them were officially released. In addition to pieces performed by himself and his own bands, he provided songs for numerous other artists: Sinéad O'Connor (Nothing Compares 2 U) Manic Monday (The Bangles, which he reportedly wrote as a love letter to Susanna Hoffs. Then again, just about EVERY guy in the 80s crushed on Susanna Hoffs) No Doubt (Waiting Room) Alicia Keys (How Come You Don't Call Me) Cyndi Lauper (When You Were Mine) Among MANY others. He also contributed to the soundtrack for the 1989 Batman, including the famous Batdance. Although Purple Rain may be Prince's most iconic song, it was actually not his biggest hit. That goes to When Doves Cry off the same album, which charted at #1 for five weeks. Prince's work is famous for its suggestive lyrics, and his entire image was heavily sexually-charged. As a result, he's actually responsible for the modern music rating system and led to the creation of the Parental Advisory label. When Tipper Gore had her freakout at the record industry in the 1980s, it was because of her daughter's Prince albums (specifically the song Darling Nikki). RIP His Royal Badness.

What most people don't know that the opening lyrics of "never meant to cause you trouble" was referring to his relationship with his father.

He's the greatest performer I've ever seen-I was lucky enough to see him live over 20 times and even attended several of his infamous after parties and after-shows. I'd check out something from his 1982 album "1999" next. It's the one right before his Purple Rain album The title track is a fun party song that's about the end of the world. It's also a great introduction to the "Minneapolis Sound" that he's the creator of. Here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJPPpWV7qauZeZYsi=x0ePX9JL9-TkQd06 The Minneapolis sound was prevalent in the 80s and there were many imitators

“Purple Rain” was initially conceived as a country-inflected duet with Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, who turned it down, claiming Prince’s vision for the song was “too much” for her. All that’s left of its country origins is its evocative title - which Prince lifted from the song “Ventura Highway” by the folk-rock group America, of anonymous-horse riding fame (A Horse with No Name). The transition from country to atmospheric stadium rock wasn’t instigated by Prince himself, but by Wendy Melvoin, the 19-year-old guitarist in his backing band, The Revolution. During rehearsals, she hit upon the indelible opening chords, inspiring Prince to take the song in a completely different direction. After six hours of non-stop practice and experimentation, “Purple Rain” was all but written.
