Twins React To Prince- When Doves Cry!!!!

[@Cchristee1-tv4kj]

He did it all...wrote, produced and played the music in his songs. His talent was unlimited.

[@jessicadiaz6435]

I totally agree.

[@CurioMin]

Prince was everything. He was an ARTIST. He wrote, sang, played all the instruments and produced his music. When we say he was our generation’s Mozart… we mean it.

[@jerbearschannel2208]

Most studio versions Prince would play every instrument. He only needed a band to tour

[@keithmurphy5356]

Prince was the producer, writer, composer, and instrumentalist on a majority of his music. Everything that you are hearing on When Doves Cry is all him, even background vocals. Prince was a monster.

[@vzemp1]

If you look on the back of EVERY album by him, it always says “Produced, arranged, composed and performed by Prince” Michael Jackson was a fantastic entertainer, but Prince was a musical genius.

[@kerrihennebury7616]

Prince played every instrument. He was a singer songwriter. He was the sexiest man to ever wear makeup ❤😂

[@KathyBlackwell-xk9rg]

And high heels 👠

[@CurioMin]

His heeled boots…SEXY!

[@cyndigirl418]

In the realm of musical geniuses, there is Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, and Prince! There will NEVER be another like him, and he will always be my FOREVER LOVE! 💜 💜💜💜

[@seansmith5826]

Not only did Prince produce his music, but he played all the instruments for the track. Interesting tidbit, there's no bass line in this song. A unique feature of music at the time. As for deep tracks from Prince, I'd suggest D. M. S. R., Computer Blue, Get Off, Mountains, or Controversy.

[@tylersable]

He played everything himself plus he pulled the bass out on this track.

[@cinnamon962]

Omg. He WAS music. When purple rain hit, I had my walls plastered with prince! I’m a white woman in Jackson Mississippi. In 1985, people didn’t like it, BUT I DID NOT CARE❤

[@charonpaden9826]

Prince played over 27 instruments to my knowledge. I've been a fan for as long as I can remember. I notice he studies music forwards and backward. This is one of the reasons he is so musicly gifted because he listens to every little detail. I'm also a fan of Michael Jackson. I grew up in a music filled house of different musicians of the 70s, 80s, 90s to the early 2000s. Music now is in a choke hold. Nobody really listens to radio anymore.

[@amyaeschbach3581]

Watching Prince’s Super Bowl halftime show is so worth it. Starts raining downpour and he loves it! His guitar playing is out of this world. ❤

[@sallykinley5939]

Good reaction guys, but you should’ve reacted to the extended version. Prince was always his own producer. This track is from the Purple Rain movie so the video clips are from the movie. This song is 100% Prince including the opening guitar solo. It was originally a lot fuller with more instrumentation but over 2 days he unproduced it and took a lot out and finally took out the bass line. The extended version includes a fabulous keyboard part and also shows more of his insane vocal range. Classic track. Please react to more live performances. This is where he shines the most. His instrumental prowess is second to none. Prince pretty much composed, arranged and produced all his own music and for his first 5 albums played every instrument and sang every vocal. He was a one man army 💜 If you want to go down the Prince rabbit hole prepare yourself for a fabulous but long journey. 40+ studio albums and literally 1000’s of songs. He also wrote hits for many other artists. Wrote for film soundtracks and had several protégés he wrote full albums for. The rabbit hole is very deep indeed. The greatest artist of all time, and that’s no joke 💜

[@hopeklemann1]

I don't remember who said it but there was a quote that said "Prince was the only guy who could walk into a party in high heeled boots and a frilly blouse, and take your woman home with him." and he did all of his own producing--- everything.

[@user-mx5it7jx2t]

He would finish a song and record it going home at night to write another, hum different instruments into a cassette recorder and come to the studio next morning to produce another record. His engineer Susan Rogers would have the studio set up ready and then only do what Prince gave directions to do. He set up the drum machine first, then the instruments as needed he would play where they were needed. ( can you imagine the skill in doing that.) then he would ask Susan to leave and he always did vocals alone. Then he and Susan finished the recording. Maybe do another record before quitting for the day. His work ethic was incredible. You need to hear Susan Rogers or Peggy McCreary on what working for him was like and how much was expected of them with his work ethic.

[@mascottie]

Prince never had other producers. He produced his own music. He passed up on a record deal when he was nineteen because they wanted someone experienced to produce him

[@cosmickins]

When reacting to any Prince song always go for the extended versions, especially Little Red Corvette.

[@williamhayes981]

By the age of 7, Prince could play 12 different instruments...semi-professionally. Produced the entire song, played all guitar riffs in this song. Strings and some guitar was performed and produced by one of his lead guitarist Wendy Melvoin. But 80% of the whole Purple Rain album....all Prince, literally.

[@PINK666FM]

Prince and engineer Susan Rogers made this song in ONE afternoon. Susan said, at the last minute Prince said "Pull out the bass" and then said "people are gonna think I'm crazy". A #1 pop song with no bass line? He did it. He then did it again with "Kiss"....pull out the bass guitar, another #1 hit. The man was not to be fucked with. BTW, this is the short version of the video.

[@lollito84]

All instruments and voices performed by Prince. Awesome voices work. He was a master at layering his own voices.

[@albertmata8813]

Prince was a musical genius

[@roger1296]

He did it all! Learned how to play all instruments on his own.

[@kimberlyadams6476]

You guys should find the extended version of these songs because the videos you’re seeing are shortened…. He had been making music since the late 70’s. A song I remember as a kid was “ I wanna Be Your Lover” which is right at the start of the 80’s I believe.

[@karenpower1643]

I was a teenager in the 80's and it was the best! That era of music will never be forgotten. Prince was an awesome musician and this guitar skills are off the chart. You can see those skills at their best in the video "Let's Go Crazy"

[@dustinjones8887]

Yes, this was quintessential Prince. This was during when MTV was at its prime in artistic video production. This year, 1984, was a huge year in music. Check out the Billboard charts of that year and see ALL the notable names and multiple songs they all had that year. It was incredible.

[@stevehamilton8824]

Prince is a genius and icon. One of, if not the most talented pop musician ever. Prince was a multi-faceted musician. He played a ton of instruments and on his earlier albums you could bet he played them for the albums. This is Prince's first album with the Revolution. The talent of the Revolution helped open him up to outside ideas. Prince produced most of his music, rarely bringing in outside producers. He was a control freak and had the sound in his mind for how it should be made. He was a perfectionist. There are so many songs to check out. His catalog is huge. But some worth mentioning - "International Lover", "7", "Girls & Boys", "Mountains", "Batdance", "Controversy", "Anotherloverholeinyohead", "Thieves in the Temple"

[@ccjtv809]

Ah man i wish you guys heard the extended version it has so much greatness to the song and the Solo's go crazy

[@blackbutterfly3364]

I second this. The extended version of this song is 🔥🔥🔥💯

[@JJlovesPrince]

As others have mentioned, you should check out the extended version so you can hear the great vocals and keyboard at the end. There are so many deep cuts to listen to. He had sooo many songs. I recommend checking out live performances. Some recommendations are Purple Rain (from 1985 American Music Awards), Nothing Compares 2 U (from Glam Slam), America (live), Shh (from Detroit, Paris, or Hong Kong), The Question of U (from Detroit Musicology tour)… I could keep going, but I’ll stop there for now. Love seeing younger generations exploring Prince. He was the greatest to ever do it!

[@cryptozoomauler5505]

Prince was involved in all of the production except for anything released after his death. They basically went into his music vault and did their own production of what he had in there. But everything from when Prince was alive was 100% Prince-approved and orchestrated. That doesn't mean he didn't take some things from other people, but he credits when he does. A case can be made for Brown Mark's work with Mazarati on "Kiss" but it was Prince's originally, he just took the song back before they could finish changing it into a rock song, because he had a change of heart. Was it wrong? Yeah, probably, but it was his song after all. Anyway, yes, Prince played guitar at the beginning and all the instruments on the track except where noted. The Revolution would come in and play for the tours. Exceptions are always there like Wendy and Lisa came up with the start of the Purple Rain song, but Prince finished it on his own.

[@TheSmokey999]

A lot of the video was from his Prince’s movie, Purple Rain 🔥.

[@TheSmokey999]

No Price was 100% in charge of all his music .

[@loriannrichardson7644]

2 different artists, 2 very different sounds, but I put Prince and Stevie Wonder both in the genius category. Both could do it all -- write, produce, play several instruments.

[@altaclipper]

Prince, was a control freak, and he made everything match his vision. You could check out "Purple Rain" from the same film as this song. It was an amazing performance.

[@carleton4199]

This song will be 40 years old this year and it's still fire. This is the version that usually played on the radio, the album version is two-plus minutes longer (there is a longer version of the video you watched for that version as well). As a lot of people have noted, Prince was the creative force behind his music: writer, producer, played all (or most) of the instruments on his songs in the studio. He was legitimately a musical genius.

[@fran8614]

Prince is a musical prodigy. I saw Prince live at the gorge in 98. He played 5 insteuments, sang, dance. He was the 1st real rockstar id seen live. He wd charge is band if anyone made a mistake in practice. Prince is everything. RIP a legend!!!

[@KathyBlackwell-xk9rg]

That was clips from the movie purple rain! He plays 27 instruments he thought his self by ear! He could record all his songs by himself! He would play one instrument and then another and put them all together and then he would sing with the music! He really only needed a band for the stage!

[@AlexHernandez-yb9rx]

Prince was AMAZING! He played all instruments, guitar especially phenomenal and just a beautiful voice that could do all kinds of octaves ❤RIP Prince ❤

[@alicegiacomelli3281]

He was the first artist who wanted his name on all of his recordings, and not whoeverowned his recordings, he sued to get his music back instead of paying somebody to promote him, but his first for albums. It was only him playing all the music and melted it one on top of each other. That is why he is so phenomenal. Sad day with Prince passed away you also lied to watch purple rain at the halftime show pouring down rain electric guitar. They wanted to know if he wanted to wait to see if it cleared up and he said tell them I wanted to rain harder!

[@DOtherWhiteMeat]

Prince’s guitar skills are epic, but no one ever gave him credit. If you really want to see what he can do, watch the star-studded version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, featuring Prince on lead guitar.

[@hopeklemann1]

yes that was him playing he played 17 instruments he was amazing amazing saw him in concert in 1984

[@craigblakes5499]

Michael is the greatest entertainer of all time, but to me, Prince is the greatest musician of all time. He could play every single instrument. Just like Mike, he had music glowing inside him, and he could play some basketball. Me and Prince was the same height, 5'4" lol

[@kristilouque8412]

He was all of his music. No one else.

[@user-mx5it7jx2t]

There is no BASE. Music flowed out of him all the time. Apparently 8000 unreleased songs in his vault. You must watch Purple Rain. That movie catapulted him to worldwide fame. If you want to see his guitar skills look at the film of a live concert, song called Bambi, in Japan, 1992, I think in the Tokyo Dome. Also Susan Roger’s was his engineer for five years and her interview about working with Prince will amaze you. Never been anyone like him, never will again.

[@tomthomas2646]

MUST. Official Video...Prince "Party like it's 1999".... PURE 80's....... THEN FOR SURE...Prince " LET'S GO CRAZY".... PURE PRINCE 80's....

[@jeffmorehead1311]

Price played all this own instruments in all his songs...what a talent.

[@qwertyzxaszc6323]

He wrote and plays everything here himself. But honestly, the full album version is the one to listen to. This radio edit does not do the song justice.

[@user-mx5it7jx2t]

Prince played all instruments for his first five albums and only got the band when he needed them for touring and public shows. He wrote all his music, apparently 8000 unreleased songs in the vault along with finished albums, films and rehearsals, everything filmed. He produced all his music in the recording studio alone. That is why he built Paisley Park, so he could record whenever 24/7. Try to listen to an engineer called Susan Roger’s, who worked with him for around five years. You will understand how unique he was then. Also watch the movie Purple Rain to really understand the magic of his entertaining.

[@Renkk17]

One of my Favorites from Prince....he did everything Genius! Also check out his songs - Little Red Corvette - 1999 - Let's Go Crazy - Nikki - Electric City

[@BassTwinsReact]

We posted Little Red Corvette! Check it out on our channel and let us know what you think

[@darrinlindsey]

My favorite song by Prince, by far.

[@user-ur1jp9uv6j]

may his soul rest in peace. truly a great artist that died way to young.

[@sarablack2547]

prince had the whole vision.he knew how the song would sound,which instrament had to play and he could play them.how he wanted everyone to move.he even designed his outfits like the three buttons on the front of his trousers at an angle and contrast colour to the fabric to make them a feature.which you can see in his sign o the times album single vids

[@darrelljohnson7052]

I'm not sure if you noticed --- but, there was no bass guitar in this song at all... He removed all the bass last minute before the song was released.😱😳🤯

[@JohnWesleyDowney]

Do. LITTLE RED CORVETTE. That will - leave - an impression. Prince was very much a one man band. He produced all of his stuff and had total artistic control.

[@mrreed2000]

Prince did it all himself. If you listen to the studio version not the video you will hear a little more of the ending that is fabulous. Please WHEN you you react to “Let’s Go Crazy “, please do the long studio version not the video.

[@Lilsparrow-of4pv]

(A late comment.) You guys need to do a "part 2 reaction" of this song and video. There's a 12" version of the song and video that instrumentally is mind blowing! Good reaction! ✌️😎

[@amalhannaway8838]

He did it all ❤❤

[@kenneth2875]

This is the short version. There is a version of that video is 3 minutes longer. You need to watch it. This song is unique because there is no bass ion it. Prince songs -Batdance, Gett Off, Sexy MF, When 2 R In Love, Bambi, Thieves in the Temple (extended video version)

[@nicolasstrawberry4148]

This song originally had a bassline and at the last minute he removed it and it took the song to another level...you dont ever hear songs without a bassline become a number one song like this did

[@pamelabustos8376]

The song is one of the songs on the Album,Purple Rain. Clips from the movie, Purple Rain.

[@alicegiacomelli3281]

When the movie purple rain came out, he also put out an EP one side with the wind doves cry, the other side with purple rain trying to find that record somewhere! Other songs I like, which I don’t think you’d be able to play big darling Nikki that’s that’s a song a good ballad is diamonds and pearlson one of his albums, he was phenomenal. No no one will ever take his place. His mansion was in Minnesota and it was called Paisley Park.

[@maha77]

Please check out these early 80's Synth CLASSICS by: *'YAZOO'* - _'Don't Go'_ and _'Situation'_

[@jennhurl]

Prince could play 27 instruments I will never forget the first time I heard "I Wanna Be Your Lover" (1979). I was 8 years old & I hooked on his clothes, makeup, & THAT FALSETTO my God! Definitely check it out..... "Purple Rain" came out in 1984 age 13. That album flipped the script on the music industry. Most importantly is how the album affected Gen-X. In a world of Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, MJ, & groups iike Def Leppard & Metallica - there was the genius who set the standard for creativity, uniqueness, & musicianship. He truly is his own genre. RIP my purple 💜 one

[@Niguyver7]

Prince played all the instruments and sang all parts on 90% of all his recordings, yes he played and composed drums, keyboards, guitar, bass guitar, synthesizer, piano, and many other instruments. Please check out, (She's always in my hair) (Sign O The Times) (The question of you) (Lady cab driver) (Why you wanna treat me so bad) and of course (Bambi) also check out (Funkadelic) off the (one nation under a groove) album, last track (Maggot Brain) trust me.

[@BrendaNelson-ll4ls]

Samual & Lucas Prince's song "Raspberry Beret" a fun song. "When Doves Cry" is from the movie Purple Rain. Great movie to watch. Prince was a one of kind talent. He did it all singer, song writer & producer. Prince was a great actor in the movie too. 💜

[@KatieKat14]

This video was clips from the movie Purple Rain.

[@you2449]

Gotta hear/see the Long version of this. There's like a whole other song at the end. (arguably, even better than the first 2/3). This short version sounds so unfinished to me, without the (real) ending edit: and as Prince would say: May U live 2 C the Dawn.

[@jjhall1963]

damn, the fog, strobe lights coming from the floor and above, and hot sweaty bodies. The Copa, in Lauderdale. It was so amazing. The 80s.

[@Damone2020]

It is so fun to hear these kids listening to Prince. There's so many songs Prince has. I just couldn't pick one because they're just it's. They're also unique. They're all just so unique but if you have to listen to one, listen to the 12-in track of I would die for U Or lady cab driver or or you got the look or adore is another one. Like I said there's just so many I couldn't. I could go to the list that could last so long cuz he had so many hits😊❤️✊

[@SlimDaddy9]

Other songs by Prince you should listen to are: Lady Cab Driver, Shhh, 17 Days, La la la he he, Anotherloverholenyohead, Sign O the Times, I Could Never Take the Place Of Your Man, The Ballad of Dorothy Parker (especially the rehearsal version); Madhouse (side project) 2, 4,, 10, 13; Eye No, Thieves in the Temple, We Can Funk (THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST BECAUSE HE SLAMS THIS WITH GEORGE CLINTON OF PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC!), Glam Slam, Controversy, How Come You Dont Call Me Anymore, New Power Generation, Daddy Pop, Money Don't Matter Tonight, Adore, Starfish and Coffee and the live version of America, which is in video on KZbin. A dude with a French accent introduces him. Buckle up for this one!

[@TommyHarrod-el6qg]

Like I said in a previous prince comment to u guys “ darling niki” is a not so mainstream song , it’s wild and fun , should get a kick outta that one , keep the reactions coming

[@lilamuzik3385]

One fact i can tell you is that he is totally self-taught. Taught himself because these lyrics are somewhat autobiographical. Music was where he could escape.

[@harriettholmes539]

Please and Please more Prince video reactions and live performances.

[@ag18458]

Check out She's Always in my Hair, u2 will love that one.

[@beckiramsey9561]

Love this song and this video!!🔥🔥 Awesome reaction guys!!❤❤😊

[@bertoabibi6610]

i like the young "prince" before everything....i like the song " do me baby".... only for those who grew up in the 80's

[@PaulMartinez-oq9wd]

He did it all.

[@wereallyouthere3542]

Love it!!!

[@akastarchild]

PRINCE PLAYED EVERY INSTRUMENT AND SANG EVERY PART OF THE VOCALS. NEEDED THE BAND FOR LIVE PERFORMANCES.😊😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@TheSmokey999]

If you seen his movie ,Purple Rain. You would understand. Little Red Corvette, 1999, Cream , Get Off , Erotic City !

[@geraldjackson3921]

He wrote and produced all his own music

[@user-ro2ne4pn1n]

"The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" Single version or even better the Radio Edit version

[@scottsilverman9948]

He was the production, told everyone what to do and this one is famous for the fact that at the last minute he said,lets take the bassline out, people that he was nuts but it was awesome and the only pop song like this that had no bass. If u want a guitar solo watch the extended vers of lets go crazy, or the rock and roll ball of fame induction of george harrison, him and lots of giants play When my guitar gently sleeps, he doesnt say a word but steals the show with a guitar performce that everyone talks about, also watch his superrbowl halftime performance in full ,he covers people from foo fighters to tina turner and does the best superbowl show ever and he did it in the pouring rain , also check the video for him doing a cover of Motherless Child and u will see a master at work,he plays every instrument under the sun, writes all his own music as well as songs for others. I like Michael Jackson a lot but he is no Prince

[@harriettholmes539]

Welcome to Prince rabbit hole journey.

[@BassTwins]

Playlist!

[@rayevarney]

He originally produced this song with bass, then he decided to strip the bass out because the song would work better without it. It was all his decision. Also, the video is different because the random scenes are from the movie Purple Rain

[@anitaharris9095]

The instrument that you asked about was a synthesizer.

[@philipchen89]

He used the Linn-1 Drum machine

[@user-cg2eg3vh5w]

Did you just ask if that was prince playing the guitar your crazy yes it was he was a multi, talented instrumentalist he played 27 instruments and taught himself

[@jazziered142]

There is a movie called Purple Rain. A lot of the clips in this video come from that movie.

[@safir2115]

✨Ultimate Genius ✨

[@haroldpringle3691]

All the scenes in this video are scenes from the movie, "Purple Rain".

[@okay5045]

Pure genius

[@youhavementalproblems5272]

How involved was he? Ar eyou kidding? He famously produced all of his music and played almost all the instruments. On this track, he played evefrything and produced it himself in one night.

[@Rid]

The music video was cuts and scenes from the Movie Purple Rain . That’s why it seems like it had nothing to do with the lyrics .

[@seymourheine7280]

Great! You've broken your "Prince Cherry"! 🤗 Now...on to the 2nd stage of his development; his 3rd release. The 1980 release, "Dirty Mind". How 'bout starting out with "Uptown"? Followed up with "Head". C'mon guys...let's get this party started!!!🤗🤗

[@thesamuelbass]

Fire!!!

[@Ray1969.]

Growing up the debate was always Prince or Michael Jackson.. it was like Coke or Pepsi. I was always camp Prince because he was a true musician. Michael was great but he was more of an entertainer while Prince was a genius as a musician who played multiple instruments

[@loriannrichardson7644]

Check out "Adore" by Prince. It's def a fave, but perhaps not as popular as "Purple Rain" or "When Doves Cry."

[@tracionsgard4771]

My favorite from that same album was "The Beautiful Ones" if you want a good one to react to

[@gregg06x]

Two things. No bass line. The real ending is iconic.

[@albagomez9110]

Check out Little Nikki, Diamonds and pearls, Little Red Corvette, Adore,
