Hey guys! When did Cris change her hair? Sorry..been a min. since Ive seen her.....so if its bee done for a while..I missed it! lol. You guys never watched Purple Rain?!! I thought you were gonna watch it after you guys did the vid on that song?! Princes voice ...he could hit those high notes...he was so damn talented!!! Who else knows how to play 27 different instruments, write songs, produce music..etc. He was the Whole package & then some!!! RIP Prince.

This is one of the best songs ever made, period!!!!!!

[@chrisjarvis2287]

Prince was a musical genius and one of the best guitar players ever., saw the man in concert way over 28 times in the span of his care

[@michaellynch5254]

Guys you have to understand to be number one on the billboard back then was much different than today. Today it's a popularity contest. Back then your music had to be great to earn number one. It was up against so many incredible songs back then.

[@mikehardesty98]

Yes I've read articles where Springsteen ,prince ,and Micheal,we're all watching each other on the charts

[@AC-mp7cx]

MJ was a million times better on the charts than any of these artists

[@Skylardonavanstar]

Let's get real here, the basic pop formula which that prince and many others were known for, hasn't changed much since the 80s aside from looks...similarly how rock and metal has pretty much remained in the same state for the past 20-30 years. In pop music it's always gonna be a popularity contest I mean dude...lol...it's kinda in the name. If you ask me; mainstream music is still stuck in the 80s and 90s.

[@robertlawler1387]

@@Skylardonavanstar today's mainstream doesn't even belong in the same sentence as 80's or 90's music.

[@Skylardonavanstar]

@@robertlawler1387 I know you are probably an 80s or 90s kid yourself; and we all know how much yall obsess over yourselves so your opinion is pretty biased and comes off as narcissistic lol. Also I'm Musician with a musical ear; not just a music fan. I know what they're doing and the only main difference to my musical ear is the more "modern" sounding equipment they use to produce and more "modern" sounding instruments. Otherwise the songwriting formula hasn't really changed.

[@julianaFinn]

The entire album is world class! As is the movie. Not a bad song in the entire thing.

[@sorensmith9873]

He won an Oscar for this soundtrack in 1984, made quite an impression during that years award ceremony as well. Its a really good movie if you get a chance to watch it, loosely based on his own life starting out in a famous music club in Minneapolis

[@cyber6sapien]

This song is the DEFINITION of masterpiece!!!

[@julienielsen4462]

The song, Let’s go Crazy was my fave. Love this song too. Prince always serious and cool. I remember him accepting an American music award with his group. The way he walked to the stage with them was awesome.

[@jomojojo6603]

Lots of interesting things about this song. The movie director told Prince they needed a song for a montage segment of the movie. So, Prince threw this together at the last minute. Notice there's no bass in the song? He wrote the song, but couldn't create a baseline. He wanted to leave it out, but how can you have a song without bass. The actress, Apollonia? She visited Prince one night. He was upset and she asked why. He said he wanted to do something, but couldn't. (Make a song without bass) She said to him, "Why can't you?" Implying that he's Prince, he can do whatever he wants. So, he didn't put bass in.

[@Whistler4u]

Almost true. It had a bass track. He just took it out.

[@jomojojo6603]

@@Whistler4u he probably made one because he felt he had to. I got this info from an interview with Apollonia. Horse's mouth.

It is just a piece of my mother and father and what became. Makes me cry happinessand depression. Beautiful track. Purple Rain I was maybe 4 or 5. Much love to all who truly understand this song and love to those that love it because it is a masterpiece in musical history. ✌💜

[@daveborder7751]

The longer version is better-he does a lot more screeching with heavy guitar & then it plays out with a French accordion.

[@artdogg50]

I was just about to write that. Glad you did it first. A lot of people don't know the longer version exists. I think it's much better.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Nope, he used an Oberheim Synthesizer for that Accordion part.

[@BigSleepyOx]

I "hate" this short version. Not literally "hate", but just compared to the album version. I remember when they would play When Doves Cry on the radio, and me and my friends would get mad if it turned out to be the short version. lol

One of a half dozen DVDs I kept in the streaming age. I refuse to part with it. I even have a portable DVD player for camping, 😉. Never know when you might need a hit of Purple Rain.

[@zazagirl3373]

Prince's sexuality was sacred, even tho i would call him "free" not "extra" His sexuality was his expression of spirituality, even tho sometimes that went misunderstood. Sometimes being his fault. His guitar intro for this song is still unmatched to this day! so shreddirific! This song was based off his movie but a bit off his life as well, he ran away from home as a child several times sadly & dealt with a very abusive household, even tho you would hear him downplay it from time to time. I hope they switch it up & react to Get Off, they might freak out over that lol

[@kbbrown2135]

Gett Off is 🔥🔥🔥

[@DeAnne1233]

Couldn’t agree more. Prince spoke from his platforms to fingertips. To me, he personified a purple Gemini ♊️ in the Rain/Reign A Sign ‘O The Times

[@kevincaulder96]

1984 was one of the best years of my life. The music was great. People felt good about themselves. And I was a in my mid-2o's working with my friends, living life, drinking and generally having a good time. MTV was feeding us our new favorite music and videos by the hour which was a clash of the old and new acts of the day. I mean imagine that anytime day or night you could see Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, George Michael, ZZ Top, the Police, the Pretenders, Huey Lewis and the News, Cyndi Lauper, the GO-GO's, the Bangles, Pat Benatar, Billy Idol, Duran Duran, the Scorpions, Robert Plant, Def Leppard, the Fixx, Genesis, Tina Turner, the Rolling Stones, the Doors, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, Rod Stewart, Journey, Foreigner, Romeo Void, the Stray Cats, Billy Joel, Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen, Van Halen, Eagles Glenn Frey and Don Henley, and more, more, more. And we didn't even have to leave home !!! And then movies like Footloose, Purple Rain, Against All Odds, Gremlins, Ghostbusters, Beverly Hills Cop, Splash, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Red Dawn, Terminator, Starman, Rocky III was still in some theaters, and Miami Vice debuted on television. This fantastic wave of energy and pop culture would carry us to the around 1987, when the album, Appetite for Destruction changed the direction of music. But for me, 1984 was really special. I love and miss those days of my youth. Those were the days my friend. Those were the days!!

[@RastaSaiyaman]

According to recording engineer David Rivkin (AKA: David Z.) who was one of Prince's life long friends and older brother to Revolution drummer Bobby Z. Prince had this song as a complete production, complete with an orchestra, but he wasn't happy with the result. So Rivkin asked him directly, "Well, what would you WANT it to sound like?" At which Prince removed ALL the instruments until only the drums and the sparsest of all Synths remained. As it showcased the bleakness of a relationship gone sour so perfectly. And Rivkin, recognizing greatness when he heard it went "Well, what's keeping you from releasing it the way YOU want it?" And as a message for modern day producers: the drums here came from a LM-1 Drum Computer, there's NO real drums on this, but Prince was a star at making them sound so alive.

[@kikialdrich4574]

I can’t even see the video. It’s all her shirt. But I lived through this so I know how awesome it is! I was lucky enough to be between 10 and 20 during the 80’s. The best music ever. Pop, rock and country. All so fantastic. YES. You must watch Purple Rain. Prince is a genius. So talented.

You definitely need to watch Purple Rain. It puts a lot of the videos from this album into context. Plus it’s a dope movie. Funny as hell too. Morris Day and Jerome Benton almost steal the movie from Prince.

[@DLCSTexas]

Did you know that prince wrote and performed the movie soundtrack to the first full movie of Batman with Michael Keaton as Batman and jack nicholson as the joker. There’s a screen with prince music as the backdrop with jack Nicholson as the joke and his gang marching into Gotham with a baton and they all wore purple clothes princes colors. Prince plays every instrument by the way. I think Tim Burton produced this movie. Kim Bassinger was Vickie Vale the female journalist who had interest in Bruce Wayne.
