BLACK GUY'S FIRST TIME REACTION to Prince's When Doves Cry (Official Music Video) 

Prince was operating on another level from every other living artist.

Prince was 1 of the greatest musicians ever! He played 27 different instruments, wrote his own lyrics & music, produced his own music, & did a lot of his own back up vocals! Checkout Prince "Wanna Be Your Lover" & "Darling Nikki"!

Beautiful ones is my favorite song ever......Prince is the GOAT....

That’s one of my favorite episodes of Black-ish. 😂 They were RIGHT. Prince could do whatever he wanted.

These are actually very dark lyrics...his parents problems, and him possibly acting similarly in a relationshi...actually quite sad lyric in a catchy "tune"...these were deep times for a lot of artists...listen carefully for the messages. They rarely had lyrics without a deeper message. Continue your quest! I just subscribed. Enjoying your journey through my musical times!

Little Red Corvette, While Mt Guitar Gently Weeps,Let's go crazy

I'm so happy young people are getting into Prince. He was the greatest of all times!!! And his guitar playing was off the chain. No one did it better!!!!

You HAVE to watch the movie, "Purple Rain" PLEASE!!! I was blessed way back in 1987 to see him live front row on his "Purple Rain Tour" two nights in a row!!! God, I had a MAD CRUSH on the man, was OBSESSED!!! Man was a very gifted musical genius!!! The movie Purple Rain was written by him and was basically a documentary of his life, dad was black and his mother italian, his dad was an abusive womanizer. Prince Rogers Nelson was his real name! He was so respected and dignified, soft spoken, reserved until he was performing, then thst little man gave it all he had ++++ Such an eccentric and unique human...terribly troubled soul, gone too soon😔🕺🏾⚧🎶💜 Anyways, you gotta watch the whole movie bruh! The fucking soundtrack was 🔥 🔥 🔥 stayed #1 for like a year if I remember right. He taught himself and could play like 15 different musical instruments or some shit. He is STILL know for jammin those riffs on that white electric guitar like Jimi Hendrix reincarnated(hope you know who Jimi was?) he could dance and play that thang simultaneously!! Enjoy the movie, it was a HUGE blockbuster hit, along with the #1 Soundtrack album, Prince was catapulted to Legend status immediately. SURELY to God you've heard his famous song, "1999"??? Which he basically foretells of the Y2K panic??? Only he wrote it way before computers even had really come out...Lyrics went something like, "2000... Zero zero parties over! Oops, out of time! We gonna party like it's 1999!!!" real weird shit, just incredibly close to what the big tech giants thought COULD happen to all computers, when the year rolled over on calenders from 1999, to 2000, due to programers NOT thinking ahead when they only used the two digits of 99, they REALLY didn't know possible issues, only imagined and worldwide panic called Y2K (year 2000) rocked the world, and fixed just in time, and the world's computers didn't implode or really do shit!!! FOUR digit years ONLY after that. Nobody really connected how accurate and psychic that the song was till the month before that New Years Eve in 1999...Weird ass times fr. The late 80's were a time when DRASTIC CHANGES IN HISTORY OCCURRED OR BEGAN TO.... Anyways, sorry for that history lesson. I'd all but forgotten those almost forgotten years of my youth. But thank you for reacting to "When Doves Cry", also from the "Purple Rain" movie. The video was scenes from the movie. Can't believe you haven't seen it, it was a masterpiece. Funny, great music, filmed in his hometown and true story with real people from his life. Morris Day & The Time were Prince's rival band and "Jungle Love" was a actual new "thing" back then, referring to races mixing, I swear! I got mixed grown children, Prince broke some racial barriers down being bi-racial himself. He never married or had any children sadly. Plenty beautiful woman though!!! React to "1999", "Little Red Corvette" and "Darling Nikki" by the man. Thanks so much bruh! #EST4LIFE ❌ ❌ #LTFU 👆

"Controversy" is another great song by Prince and waaaay ahead of its time.

Yesss more Prince. Do Little Red Corvette...🔥💜

I discovered Prince in the 70’s when “Feel for You” hit the scene. He was very gimmicky then and didn’t have to be, his talent was remarkable. After the release of the movie...he started getting the respect he deserved. He was FIRE live!

I was a Music Major in college, and this is one of the songs my professor had us listen to over and over until we finally realized that it has no BASSLINE💯🔥❤

One of the only songs to hit #1 WITHOUT A BASELINE. Prince was a genius. RIP.

as a UK guy, im amazed Prince isnt regarded as a genius god musician wise in America. he was unique, amazingly talented.

"Cream", by Prince!!!!!!!!!!!!

Purple Rain live at the Super Bowl!

Check out Prince's "Erotic City" and "Kiss". Two of the deadliest dance beats ever.

There is so much prince to listen to! I recommend: "Diamonds and Pearls", "I Would Die 4 You", "Darling Nikki", "Adore"

Love him. He is missed 💜💜

Fun fact, a reporter asked Eric Clapton how does it feels to be the guitar god. He replied that he doesn't know how it feels, ask Prince. If you want to see what he's talking about, watch his solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." He's on stage with a bunch of legends (like Tom Petty and Steve Winwood) and he still steals the show with his axe work!

Yes darling, he was THAT good. One of kind, one in a million, the one and only, the purple one, the gifted, the beautiful, the majestic, the musical genius that was, is, and always will be Prince.

I've heard the saying was he's the only man who could wear a full face of make up and still steal your woman! Little Red Corvette is bad ass! While My Guitar Gently Weeps is him and a few other guitar playing legends perform together! It's magic!

This song was on the Purple Rain soundtrack. Some are clips from the movie. If I recall, there was no bass on this track.

👑 Prince, all around amazing artist,R.I.P. 🎸💕🥰 he the man who was hot wearing lace and heels 🔥🔥🔥

Prince is everything! Phenomenal musician.....for reals💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Prince was amazing 💜 Try “Raspberry Beret”

My favorite Prince song 🔥Prince was self taught multiple instruments which he played on his first album of many. He wrote his own music and hits for other popular artists. His live performances (singing, playing and dancing) were the greatest! He was the soundtrack to my life both born in 1958. Gone too soon!

Check out Prince- Purple Rain live at the Grammys in the 80s.

you gotta check out KISS by Prince. Do the official video

Prince was a genius. His lyrics, one of the best guitarists of all time, and Prince could steal your Wife, your Girlfriend, your Husband, your Boyfriend...My Mother had the hots for Prince and I'm 55.

Prince - "Beautiful Ones" or "Darling Nikki" #NoLimitNation #HangOverGang #CreekSquad

Prince’s best songs are his lesser known ones - The Cross, How Come You Don’t Call Me Anymore, Starfish and Coffee, Erotic City, Raspberry Beret, Forever in My Life and those are just off the top of my head - he wrote A LOT of music...

Prince was revolutionary, unique and SO talented. There will NEVER be another in our lifetime....never.

PRINCE! I miss him so much. Best song off soundtrack and must react: Computer Blues! MASTER GUITARIST with that Special something that he could pick up any instrument and master it!

While my guitar gently weeps" is astounding.

This man was packed full of talent. It was very sad to lose him so soon.

You should check out his song "Musicology". It's from an album with the same name. It's one of his later works, but he wrote, produced and performed every instrument on the album by himself...nobody else was involved. Crazy genius of a musician.

Possibly my favorite Prince song. Dude was a legend, and the way he played the guitar was absolutely savage. I kind of hope he and David Bowie are actually immortal and planning their return under new identities in 20 - 30 years.

Doves are a symbol of love and peace. So, when they fight(Prince and his girl), he compares it to what says what it sounds like when doves cry. What a Poet!!!

I still remember the first time I heard this song, when I was about 12. I remember exactly where I was and the people I was with. That's how impressed I was, that 35 years later, I remember it so clearly.

You really should react to Prince "Darling Nikki." It's also from the album / movie 'Purple Rain.' It's so freaking cool.

Heard a comedian say, guys don't look at Prince in the eyes. HAHAHAHA

You would have lost your mind when that beat drop later on in the song...

That's right Prince was the only man that can wear heels lipstick and eyeliner and still steal your woman.

Prince said after he was done mixing a sone and was happy he had what he wanted that he would then remove an instrument from the mix. He never wanted a song to sound like a wall of sound. This song is perfect example. There had to be s certain simplicity. I remember the first time I’d heard this song and was immediately fascinated.

Prince was the GREATEST musical artist, of all time. Not even a debate.

Hon you needed the extended version of that these freaks cut off the ending.

Prince Rogers Nelson (yes, his given name) was bloody brilliant. He lived for funk music. TRUE funk. He infused it in everything. That “bounce” that got you? Funk, baby. Dive in. Prince couldn’t make a bad song. When “Erotic City” came out in the mid-80s, parents everywhere lost they shit. 💯 My parents included... my 15 year old ass had to sneak listening to it. Prince always was and always will be a G.O.A.T. to me... #PaisleyPark represent!

Best beat “Baby, I’m A Star”

I became a fan back when "Controversy" dropped!

You would be surprised how many artists he influenced and wrote music for. There are at least 40 songs i think of that you can listen to. I was a big fan of MJ but when Prince passed it really hit me hard. I'm glad i was able to see him perform live and his performance at the Superbowl on the rain was epic.

Prince is/was best experienced live ... the way he directed his band and his audience into improvised party-jams is absolutely stunning ... check out the live version of "1-2-3" in Las Vegas and, from the same concert, "The Work" ...

So gooooood to see these young kids digging The Purple One!❤️🔥

Prince was the King of KOOL Best concert EVER 💜💜💜 RIParadise 🙏

I saw Prince in New Orleans, Louisiana ; February 1, 1985 at the Superdome. This was during the Purple Rain Era. He sang "Do Me Baby" and was in a big white tub like that one standing up and there was purple fog smoke everywhere and he had a rose and then the scene faded near the end of the song. He was highly sexual and playful in his younger years. Loved the 80's ❗❤

He was eccentric and no one could ever hold up to his vibe!!! He was untouchable, on a higher plain.

He wasn't a human, I'm convinced. No single human can be THAT talented.... He's the greatest, most important musician to ever live.

Probably the most talented musician of his generation. Wrote, played, sang, produced...dude was just....well...Greatness

I miss Prince so much. We've lost so many of the great ones over the last ten years or so.

I was a teen at the height of his stardom, great stuff! I would suggest “I wanna be your lover”, “Controversy”, “Kiss”, “Darling Nikki”, “Baby, I’m a Star”. “Let’s Go Crazy”, “I would die for you”, “Diamonds and Pearls”, “my guitar gently weeps” performance from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and his Super Bowl Half Time show in the rain, “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World”, “If I was Your Girlfriend”, “Nothing Compares 2 U”

React to the song “ IF I WAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND “

This is the short version. The album cut has an awesome guitar solo, which is another element of Prince you have to discover.

The only man who can wear lipstick, lace, and high heels AND steal your woman! :) He rocked the music world and the fashion world as well!!!

Only Prince could do a Superbowl halftime show in pouring rain wearing 4” heels looking like he personally ordered the downpour. Watching that performance is a must! 🔥

He is so great his reissued double album 1999 is nominated for a grammy in 2021 the album came out in the 80's

You have to watch the Charlie Murphy True Hollywood Stories from the Chappelle Show about Prince. The great thing is that Prince confirmed a lot of the story lol. Great reaction, Prince is amazing.

He played all the instruments. He was phenomenal.

Prince is a music legend, I love him 💜💜💜

Prince - Genius

You should see how this song is used in Vaz Lurhman's Romeo and Juliette. 🔥 That movie...just perfection.

There is no other 20th-century musician that managed to completely master ALL facets of the trade: he could sing in a multitude of octaves and timbres, play the guitar like a God, write, arrange and compose songs in a multitude of styles, he wrote the lyrics, managed the performance, create clothing styles, and, on a whole different level, learned to completely operate a recording studio and all its equipment. When he was awake, he was on stage playing music.

Yes, Prince was that good. No one equals him. R. I. P. Prince. Still hard to believe he’s gone and it’s been 5 years.💜☔️💜

Prince was one of a kind...so talented and i feel he did the best half time show at the Superbowl

Prince was great, not just good. He was in a class by himself. He was beyond great.

This is my favorite song that Prince sang.

Prince was pound for pound one of the greatest musicians and artists to ever grace the planet.

Please trust PRINCE is a experience. He played 27 instruments, wrote , arranged and engineered his music. He has influenced musicians we listen 2 this very day. Try Do Me Baby . Oh man Prince has so many hits its insane. #STAYWILD

I've been a Prince fan for 40 years, and I am genuinely excited for you that you have all this great music ahead of you to discover. No better place to start than when doves cry, but there is so much more to dive into. Enjoy!

My favourite Prince song and favourite song ever! The extended/album version of this song with the instrumental guitar and keyboard solos at the end is epic! Prince’s 12” versions of his singles where superb - the instrumentation is just off the scale. Every 12” from the ‘Dirty Mind,’ album to ‘The Gold Experience,’ album is fantastic with the ‘1999,’ - ‘Batman,’ era of special prominence for musical greatness👍

I was so in love with Prince back in the day. More Prince please.

Me born '71...so Prince, MJ all that and oso Malmsteen Metallica all those too... Those were the days when ur spoiled to choose which genres of music to follow...

He has so many great songs! My personal favorite is 'Raspberry Beret'. Great feel good song!!

I was all about Prince from junior high..late 70s when he first started. I was waiting for his new release of When Doves Cry, and when they announced it on the radio I pulled into a mall parking lot and listened, MIND BLOWN!

Prince is my favorite male artist. He is a pure musician who wrote, produced and played every instrument. His hits ranged from ballads,,jazz to funk but he was the master of sexy songs. My favorites is no order: Head, Let’s Work, HouseQuake, DMSR, Adore, Insatiable, Damn U, Somewhere Here on Earth, Scandalous, Erotic City, Beautiful, Loved & Blessed, Breakfast Can Wait, Push It Up and Strollin’

Goosebumps. Now you Get It! Prince Rocks. I saw Prince when he played Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 almost 30 years ago. He was the consumate performer. Super talented. Charming. Shy. Funny. Gorgeous and yes, he Was the only Straight man who could wear make-up and heels and fancy costumes and Still be as hot as all hell. 🔥 Forever in my heart.

Prince has been killing it for decades!!!

Main reason you never see prince standing next to the Keyboard player or the Drummer when they are standing up, they are each nearly a foot taller.

Prince was a musical genius. He could play multiple instruments proficiently, self taught. Wrote many top songs for other artists. Electric stage presence. Wrote prolifically, which to this day is a battle over who, how, when etc his vault material is handled. So sad at his passing way too soon; end of an era.

I love,love this king and stilled listening today’s!!

The greatest of the greatest he is so talented & man he can play a guitar, when the world lost him saddest moment ever I was lucky enough to see him in concert wow what a performer

Gotcha... Jerrod Charmichael is a freaking comic genius. His stand up act is fantastic

Love 💘 to Prince from southern MN. Thanks for this reaction!

There’s music geniuses...and there’s Prince-level genius!! His 1999 and Sign o the Times double albums are definitely peak-level Prince. They were cutting edge when released! Prince is a rabbit hole you can easily get lost in!!

Play all Prince! He is Amazimg and the best ever!!! R.I.P. PRINCE!🌹💜💜💜🌹

I grew up in the 80s. Everyone girl fell for him in heels , make-up and lace.

Oh this is beautiful .I am so pleased for you to discover Prince.

Great song! Great reaction as always! Yes...more Prince is a must! He was an amazing artist! And one hell of a guitarist! 💯🔥💜🎶🤘 RIP Prince

Purple Rain is his masterpiece. The music, the movie, the persona, the raw talent.

Greatest musician ever! Dude played every instrument on his first 4 albums! React to Prince "1999"

Prince was a genius. He was one of a kind .
