"He does something to the feminine spirit" - so well put! I've read where people often say "Prince is the only guy who can wear heels and eyeliner and walk away with your girl." I don't know what it is - a comfort with gender fluidity, a quiet inner confidence without machoism, power with vulnerability and free-flowing passion, emotion and playful flirtation without needing to prove anything. . .but he is captivating, alluring, mystical and definitely frees the spirit!

Prince passed away April 21, 2016. He had a long 40yr very diverse musical career. The song he wrote (one of many) that was covered by Chaka Khan was "I feel for you" from his sophomore self titled album 'Prince' from 1979. Prince is a musician's musician...a self taught musical genius who for the most part played all the instruments on almost all of his 40 studio album releases. If there was ever an artist/musician to dig deeper into their vast catalog of music.....it would be Prince hands down !!

Technically it wasn't about Y2K the phenomenon we know but it is still about the year 2000 as it was predicted in many civilizations as to be the end of time. It was about enjoying life and partying as if it's your last days.

2016 was a very sad year for the loss of musical icons. Starting with the passing of David Bowie in January through to George Michael on Christmas Day. Others to pass were Prince, Earth Wind & Fire's leader, Maurice White, Nat King Cole's daughter, Natalie, ska/reggae legend Prince Buster, The Beatles producer George Martin, Leonard Cohen, Glen Frey of Eagles (never put the word The in front of it), Status Quo's Rick Parfitt, Pete Burns, who was Dead Or Alive, soul legend, Billy Paul, Leon Russell, and the writer of most of Thriller and Heatwave founder Rod Temperton. Surely one of the most incredible years for the loss of leading musicians.

An absolute virtuoso. He was undervalued and underappreciated. He could play 27 instruments and completed his first album alone at 20. He did all instruments, vocals, recordings and production.

@kimhubbard826 2 года назад

Prince, was the GOAT! You all ought to check out his early years too. He played almost every instrument you find in a band. Check out, "Wanna be your Lover," and Controversy. Also, the song was pre Y2K and actually came out in 1982, which was followed by Purple Rain. The band that backed him on this album as well as Purple Rain was the Revolution. In the 90s he started another backing band called the New Power Generation, and it would be worth it to listen to Diamonds and Pearls. Also check out a song that he sings with Scottish singer Sheena Easton, which you should also check her out as a solo artist as well, but their song together is "You've got the Look." And in regards to Michael Jackson and him making a song together, they actually had a rivalry. At one point Michael Jackson Wanted Prince to be in his video for the song "Bad," Prince turned it down, because he couldn't see himself playing the guy in the video where Michael Jackson sings, "Your butt is Mine."

I am 55 years old and I saw Prince perform when I was in college. He was amazing. Though I never completely stopped listening to him, my musical tastes grew and life kind got in the way. A marriage and two kids later, my Mom asked what I wanted for my birthday. I really didn't know. I told her I couldn't think of anything, so how about some Prince tickets? I honestly don't know where that idea came from. So, we arrive at the venue, and the first thing they tell us is that Prince wants everyone moved down into empty seats. So, we go from 3rd level to 1st level. Then, Chaka Khan is the opener! What a show. I am so glad I had that moment, because we lost him all too soon. There will never be another quite like Prince.

This song was genius. He knew the century was going to turn during his lifetime and he knew no matter when he released this song New Year’s Eve 1999 it would come back with a vengeance. Not to mention how fun this song was an L it was fun to dance to and sing along with. I love this song, thanks for reacting.

Prince was a musical genius and a real chameleon. My two favorite Prince songs are “Cream” and “Little Red Corvette.”

Prince wrote "Nothing compares 2 U" for Sinead O'Connor, "When you were mine" for Cyndi Lauper, "Manic Monday" for The Bangles, and about ten others. Love you guys, 😘 PJ

@mmomailman 2 года назад

He wrote Nothing Compares 2 U and When You Were Mine for himself and those other performers covered them. Sinead outdid him on Nothing Compares 2 U but his version of When You Were Mine is way better imo.

Prince sadly passed away 4-21-16. SAD day. I was up all night and never bothered to even turn my lights on. PLEASE check out his first 4 albums. You will be able to see his constant evolving music. He is truly sex on a plate. To the point that he was being censored by radio stations. His first hit was named Soft n wet. Prince is so much MORE than the Purple Rain era that so many only know of him. 💜💜💜💜

I love you guys, but amber never reacts to any black female singers or black female groups. And I don't know why?? 😕 there are alot of black female groups and black female solo artist you haven't reacted to. And I don't understand why?? I think you should start reacting to more black female solo artists and groups. You need to react to 'vanity', Karen white, pebbles, klymax, Mary Jane girls, the jets, five star, Vanessa Williams. I hope you start reacting to more black female artists in the near future.

Love Prince. One of the more underrated song of his is 'Batdance'. You want to talk of tempo changes and pivots, and 4 songs in 1, then look no further. It was the soundtrack for the 1989 Batman movie which was iconic in those days. You would probably be the first to react to this song and/or video !

@SteveInScotland 2 года назад

Samples were found in songs long before they came to Princes music but when he added them to Batdance they were treated as music and they flowed like no one had ever done before. He did something totally new, they were no longer adlibs, they were notes.

Prince is/was a singularity. One of one. Never absorbed by the world, he remained peripheral to it until the end. Various anecdotes popped up in the press when he passed, from piano tuners to music video extras to late night talk show hosts ... all describe the same individual, the same soul ... #sixyears

@scottstevens7639 2 года назад

I remember when “When Doves Cry” started reaching stupid levels of radio airplay back in the early ‘80’s. Back then it was very unique and an unusual candidate for monster hit status. When a conversation with a friend turned to the topic of that song, his initial comment was, “I don’t know if the dude’s just plain weird or a freakin genius”. I’m sure that friend eventually settled on the latter assessment. While Michael Jackson never collaborated with Prince, MJ did work with another superstar on ‘Thriller’ - Sir Paul McCartney on “Ebony and Ivory”. While it’s been pointed out by other commenters that we lost Prince due to a prescription drug overdose, there was a good reason for that prescription. For years he had been jumping off of tall stacks of speakers onto the stage (in high heels no less) during his concerts. As a result, his legs were pretty much trashed and he suffered chronic pain. The prescription he OD’ed on was for painkillers. Everyone these days knows how addictive and deadly modern painkillers can be. Still tragic though. Lastly, the song “1999” was weirdly prescient, considering it was released in 1982. The premise was that the world was going to end in the year 2000. Back in ‘82, the big worry was nuclear war. The Y2K threat wasn’t even a concern for at least the next 15 years, yet that was the biggest worry when the year 2000 started to loom large. Everyone thought planes would fall out of the sky, trains would all derail and civilization as we knew it would grind to a halt, all because all the computer systems in the world would crash because they couldn’t deal with a year number beyond 1999. So, in a way, Prince was right to worry about “party over, outta time” when we hit 2000, it was just about a different worry.

That same prescription painkiller, Fentanyl, also killed Tom Petty a year later. Also it was killing about 50,000 people a year for a while. The "opioid crisis" you've heard talked about.

As a metal guitarist I had the chance to see the artist in concert, I had told my band mate's that I was thinking of blowing the show off, my band mate's we're very convincing in the fact I would be the biggest moron on the planet if I did, during the show I was mesmerized by prince, having seen him doing what he did in a live situation, being a victim of an industrial accident I'm aware of what incredible pain is on a daily basis, prince put so much into his live performance that it's certainly not beyond my thoughts on how much pain he must have been suffering from, as for the concert, it's probably in my top 3 alongside Led Zeppelin and some one else, haha, I'll mention it again, you really should check out Band Maid, I'm confident that you will love them.
