Vocal Coach Reaction to Prince - Kiss - Ken Tamplin

Vocal Coach Reaction to Prince - Kiss - Ken Tamplin
Rock guys don’t dance, or DO they?
Composed, written and produced by Prince, “Kiss” has been described as an, “instant party with an edge of menace”. "Kiss" became Prince's third number-one US hit and earned him yet another Grammy. This performance, on the Ellen Show, is an embellished version of the original; extra ‘funked up’ with a tasty horn section. As a performer, Prince was known for his showmanship and charisma. Take note of his effortless attitude, relentless energy and total command of the performance.
Described as rock's greatest ever natural talent, Prince’s singing abilities encompassed a wide range from falsetto to baritone and effortless shifts of register. Prince was also renowned as a multi-instrumentalist. Considered a guitar virtuoso and a master of drums, percussion, bass, keyboards, and synthesizer. On his first five albums, he played nearly all the instruments. In the late 1970s. Prince pioneered the Minneapolis sound, which is a subgenre of funk rock with elements of synth-pop and new wave.
Prince said it best in the lyrics of “Kiss”, “You just leave it all up to me, I'm gonna show you what it's all about” and he sure as heck did.

Prince is "The One". There is no equal to him in terms of pure musicality, songwriting, technical ability, and stage charisma. That rare combination of prodigal artist and captivating entertainer. I'm a grizzly old rocker in my mid-fifties, with a record collection that spans over half a century of rock music, and yet Prince's "Sign o' the Times" (his magnum opus, in my opinion), is still my favourite album of all time.

[@SearlesHernandez]

Highly underrated album. #SignOtheTimes

[@ontheone5175]

Brent Crude Preach!!

[@jacksonwilliams8971]

Just to rub it in everyone else’s noses, he’s a one man band on his first 5 albums

[@davidmtzhdez5124]

Man he was a beast, probably one of the most complete artist of all time, he literally could do anything. And obviously his vocal range that was insane, he reached the B6that for a man its so but so rare to see

[@ppa9479]

💜

[@redskin4040]

Prince was a musical genius in every way. So much energy and I think he could play any instrument that you put in his hands. Being a rock guy myself it takes something really special to catch my ear. He was one of the very few.

[@kentamplin]

redskin4040 Genius can be an overused description but, in this case, I think it's apt.

[@jcoulter43]

I could not agree more! I'm a total rock guy and Prince was always just an amazing talent and was fascinating to watch and hear (also, one very under appreciated guitar player). Today's popular music completely and totally pales in comparison to his stuff. Great video KT! God bless and rock on.

[@kentamplin]

jcoulter43 He was. He is missed.

[@Beccastyles_]

Yep, Prince was probably the only man who could steal your girl while wearing her heels! He just oozed confidence and talent!!

[@wyattlytenin7715]

Definitely the best “reacts to “ channel. Ken can REALLY sing and can understand different styles. I feel Prince’s greatest talent was in the live performance area.

[@georgebanks48]

Arguably the most underrated guitar player ever. His solo for “as my guitar gently weeps” was a thing of beauty

[@leonardmcdonald6243]

Totally agree "Prince" can Shred the axe

[@noelleparris9451]

Amen ❤

[@sanjuandiaz]

That HOF vid gives me goosebumps EVERY SINGLE TIME. In my opinion, I think there's only a handful of ppl in the WORLD who could take that iconic Clapton solo and make it 10x better than the original. I believe that's why when Clapton was asked who the best guitarist was, he said Prince. He was the modern day Beethoven

[@levimelton5339]

This dude was sooooo talented he could play so many instruments and could sing so good. such a shame he is gone

[@kentamplin]

[@roxanneh5090]

He was the WHOLE package! We lost a megastar in every sense of the word.

[@kentamplin]

Absolutely, Roxanne!

[@MatsDagerlind]

Prince doesn't just "embellish" the song - he's paying homage to Sam & Dave by playing the intro to their hit Soul Man before entering into his own song. This intro is so famous everyone should recognize it instantly.

[@kentamplin]

[@MrPiratebrain]

Prince was my favorite artist. I was working at WBAL radio station in 1978 when his single soft and wet. Nobody wanted to play his record until he went on Saturday night live almost a year later. I first saw Prince in concert at the Washing DC armory in 1983 on tour with the time and Vanity 6. The last time I saw prince was the musicology tour in Miami Florida in 2004. The world was a better place with Prince in it. Thanks for this video.

[@kentamplin]

MrPiratebrain I do remember watching that SNL performance. I saw him in Los Angeles, '81, open for the Stones. Yes. THAT concert... Prince certainly had the last laugh.

[@MrPiratebrain]

@@kentamplin yes he did and the Stones we're visionary for including him on the tour regardless of the crowd response. By the way I finally caught the Stones live in Miami in the late 90s. Pink Floyd, The Stones, Sade and Prince were my best concerts by the way Sade was 3rd row center she gave 5 encores and Prince 1983 show was standing room only I was at the front of the stage so close to Vanity I could smell her perfume. By the way if you get a student to perform Sade I would LOVE to see that.

[@kentamplin]

MrPiratebrain Great shows! Lucky you!

[@BoraViolin]

Wow I envy you! I don't think Ill ever get over his untimely passing! He was a genius with a good heart too! I wish I had seen him live!

[@4coolclips]

@@MrPiratebrain oh, I love Sade so much!!! the lady has such rare class natural ambiance, you motivated me to get out my old albums 🤗🤗🤗

[@pauldwalker]

three words: incredible vocal range

[@kentamplin]

I agree, paulwalker!

[@EmmyV2002]

My reaction to his performance, As fathers would say, "that's my boy". His stage presence is like an emotional, musical rollercoaster. It's magical 😍

[@kentamplin]

Magical indeed, Emily!

[@samsonmorrell]

Prince is a phenomenal guitarist, bassist, pianist he played a crazy number of instruments

[@MrSeeker57]

Prince is one of my favourites,great performer and cool dude!!!

[@kentamplin]

Rossana Romani 👍👍👍

[@patrickbateman7769]

Prince was easily one of the top 10 best guitarists.... the guy knows when to lay down crazy good riffs and can absolutely melt faces when he shreds.. the solo he played in while my guitar gently weeps is proof of that.

[@kentamplin]

Rocco Lai Prince's talent was a force of nature.

[@Bluenblack17]

Totally right! He was an absolute genius on guitar.

[@kolnidur_]

Not an artist, but The Artist. Probably the most gifted musician/singer/entertainer of the last 40 years, he was unbelievable, a genius. 'I just want your extra time and your.. *Wendy's funky riff*.. Kiss!' I love it 💜

[@kentamplin]

👍

[@brettburow2367]

I've seen Prince live twice and he brought it every time. The word genius gets thrown around a lot but he truly earned that title.

[@kentamplin]

Brett- I think he did too.

[@nolls14]

Prince was master arranger as well as a great musician. He was a band leader in the old school mode ( James Brown, Duke Ellington) yet he was also a studio and stage visionary in almost every popular music genre. He redid his songs in concert every time he played. A master rhythm guitarist and lead player. I love his lead playing but I'd have him in the top 5 rhythm guitarists ever. .In regards to his life in music, I can't think of anyone that has lived and breathed music more than that man. He wrote maybe 2500 songs in his most prolific decade. Research his back catalogue. It's massive. There are Rock records in there. The greatest talent of all time.

[@dabbrown9963]

Genius and legend are thrown around . Prince is the things . He is music

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for listening. Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸🧨🎇

[@liliamunoz7831]

I want to hear your guitar playing since you said you were on par with Prince. He was very underrated.

[@metalguru5226]

[@controlZchannel]

An insanely underrated guitarist. One of the best in my opinion. Listen to his full live version of Purple Rain; face melting.

[@monicaw5036]

I've heard it said many times, Prince was music. It ran thru his body like the life giving blood we all need. Yes even rockers loved him, you just can't find that kind of talent. He played 27 instruments, he and his bands practiced very very long days and even up all night into the next day. He was totally amazing. If you're ever wondering about his skill on guitar, go watch him play "My guitar Gently Weeps" at the MHF. All the other players literally stepped back and let him do his thing. He was a good Christian person that loved God in all his glory💜

[@wtglb]

He was so dang talented, and he was a great guitarist, too, I don't think he gets enough credit for that.

[@kentamplin]

[@reid1boys]

We saw Prince on his very last show in the Bay Area about amonth before he passed. He was about 90 minutes late, and there was no opener, so I was pretty pissed to be honest. Just him and a Piano. Definitely one of the most talented performers the world has ever known.

[@ADDIDASSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

Hi Ken, I asked you to do a reaction to Prince and I didn't realize you already did one. My bad. Prince had a studio in his house, along with a big stage and lights like what he had on tour. Prince used to make his band endure grueling practice day after day, hour after hour for twelve to sixteen hours straight until everything was perfect. Prince would sing, play guitar and perfect every dance move along with his band until he felt it was perfect enough to do in front of an audience. Prince's band probably wanted to run for their lives when he finally let them out of his house. Thanks for another great video. Keep rocking!

[@user-kq5qp6dh8l]

Nice analysis Ken , Prince , what more can u say.

Brilliant band. Brilliant band leader. I'm glad your doing these. I actually first started listening to you with a couple of your vocal instruction videos, and I felt like you were one of the few out there really offering some solid and healthy technique.

[@Arkhangael]

Love Kiss. It took me years to love the original song, but it happened. It was a real change from his previous music, and his falsetto surprised many critics new to him. But the song (and the short hair) was quite the sensation. In fact, interesting story about me after discovering Prince in the early 80s: the anticipation about When Doves Cry (early 84) made me imagine the song, and it was still called black music back then, without being offensive.. (In the papers, MJ was RnB, Prince and Grandmaster Flash were Black music) The thing is, the song turned out exactly like i expected it to be, and like I imagined. I listened to it like a mantra, until the end of 84. (Okay, I didn't realise until much later that it had a heavy hypnotic feel). WDC was the definitive 'black' music track, the epitome of that genre, and I had issues loving pretty much anything else as much for some time, and even some other Prince's songs faced the injury of comparison to the masterpiece.

Hi Ken, I really want to hear you talk about Prince's vocal techniques on "The Beautiful Ones", especially the high growl, falsetto, and scream. His support sounds excellent in all those techniques. I lose my voice more easily after using falsetto even if I'm careful with my breath support, so I'd really appreciate it if you could shed light on that. I practice with your How To Sing Better Than Anyone Else every day. Are there any particular tracks that help me with those techniques?

Prince is, was, and will always be a true musical genius. The man could play over 20 instruments, recorded his whole first album by himself, playing and singing every single part and mixing the whole thing. He had the clothes, the moves, the voice that to this date I've never heard anyone that can get to all his ranges. It's so sad what happened, how it happened, gone far far too soon. I might add a huge philanthropist, he gave back in so many ways, but kept it all hush hush, he didn't want people knowing it was him. To think of him dying like that all alone breaks me heart. I know he's in heaven and one day we'll be seeing him rock out with the angels💜💜💜💜💜 #missingthepurpleyoda

Genius is an overused word but even that doesn't feel strong enough to describe the phenomenon that prince is. Sorry, was. Shocking to think it was his 3rd death anniversary just the other day. My heart aches when I think about it bc I just can't accept he's really gone. I miss him so much. Happy coincidence to see this as I just watched the version recorded at paisley park as recently uploaded by the official site. Every version blows my mind, no less for the equally funky performance and choice of look. ❤

He was magical, he did whatever he whant on stage, he never had a songlesson. He had doing boxing, long-distanse run. And danse a little ballett, he could sing falsett, rock, pop, funk, jazz, opera, he had the mic in one hand and the audiens in the outher hand. Queen had the best performing at Live Aid july 13 -85.

It was the best show I have ever seen. He was a musical genius that had all the tools. The Super Bowl rain performance was also awesome as you didn't know if he was going to get shocked from all the cords or stuck by lightning and he didn't care. The show was going to go on!

Check out Prince's guitar solo on Tom Petty's live cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps (2004 Rock n Roll Hall of Fame) regarded by many platforms in the top 25 greatest guitar solos of all time. It was phenomenal. At the end he threw the electric guitar up in the air....the camera catch it land down on the ground but it was Tom Petty's guitar lent to Prince for that performance. The words was that Petty was super pissed off Prince did that. Prince just walk off the stage after that with swagger as if to say "that's how you do the solo Clapton".

Prince was music. He ate, slept, breathed music! You are 100% correct he was a musical genius, so many have no clue just how much of musical perfectionist he was. True story, he said "I'm the only man in the world that can walk in a bar in heels and walk out with your girl" 😭 still miss him so so much... he played ALL instruments on his first album. He could play 27 instruments, could hit notes that only a few ever could.. YES the purple master is still missed💜😭💜
