I usually don’t like ANYONE covering Prince at all…. But he did an amazing job! He didn’t try to imitate Prince; he gave a heartfelt tribute with his own spin and it was great! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Totally agree with you. His voice is superb. He played it better than some pros. I didn't expect to hear such an interpretation. Of course there are imperfections but his voice is magnificent.
A.A.Brown and Reggie...You still speak to my heart with this superb performance. Crying and smiling every time I watch this video. I love you guys! Keep on spreading love, Reggie!❤🥰
This song is very special to me. Its the last song my husband and I danced to before he passed away a few short months later. This guy did a great rendition of the song.

Can we just RECOGNIZE how RIDICULOUSLY INCREDIBLE a feat getting that SOUND from this dude's essentially ACOUSTIC guitar is!!!??? Bro!!!!!!!!! MAD CRAZY TALENT!
@@annette2058what Margaret said can happen, but I hear ya with this video... guitarist body language was like "we've done this before". I know if someone jumped up at any of my gigs back in the day and performed like this I would be showing that I was blown away, but not this dude. Great performance nonetheless
@@annette2058 it's a youtube production. I think there aren't even any speakers. even the crowd is payed. first seconds already give it away when he moves before being called. Also those two girls chatting there are so obviously out of place. Also the audio is just too perfect.
Prince had such a unique voice that if you find yourself listening to his music all the time you end up sounding like him and it makes it all the better
R.I.P to our beloved Prince. May this man go further in his singing career. Thank You for honoring him. Never loose faith ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🕯️🕯️
He also does comedy and only has 44 sub on his channel. I wish he was noted in the description to help him out. Especially if his talent is helping this channel.
@@demonweinsshadowI agree, I just heard him say his name is Anthony Austin Brown so I'm going to try to look his channels up. This interpretation of Prince's Purole Rain was fabulous. I love the original but this gave me a whole different appreciation for it and I loved it equally.
Your awsome!!!a your on the road to recive blessing just by keeping his legacy Going he was a spirital man,,,,OUR God Ellohim,or JAh, blesses humans with special gifts and
Right when he said purple rain I cringed. The only people who did it justice was Adam and Jennifer! He did a wonderful job with just his voice and a guy with a guitar. My shower version is fire though. Lol
I’m a HUGE Prince fan and this guy did a GREAT job! Hard song for anyone to sing and with no practice at all. IMPRESSIVE ❤EDIT: for those who misunderstood me. I know this man has sung this before but not with Reggie hence a great impromptu collaboration.
@@carolinejohnson1249no unfortunately that would never be true. Prince wouldn't just go live in isolation and not write and share his music. He believed in it too much. Especially with the world as fucked up as it is right now. No.....Prince wouldn't be silent. And we wouldn't want him to. ❤❤
I don't think he did this "with no practice at all". Do you think he came out of the womb signing this song? Lol No, I'm sure he practised this many times!
Hearing someone honoring Prince with his song, makes me really miss Prince even more…if that is even possible. Huge huge fan and I thought this gentleman did a fabulous job. We will never have another song sung live by Prince but we can listen to his albums and learn from many of his songs since they sometimes teach us lessons. He wanted peace and love in this world and many millions deeply miss him. Carry on (to the purple army out there). 💜💜💜
🕊💜me too I love him , he was one kind spirit that once in a lifetime. I will always see him when hear music. 💌 my favorite song 🎵 is Raspberry beret. it's crazy but true too video was incredible at least to me.🎉
Prince never said he didn't like being covered, nor did he ever said that he hated covers. What he actually did said, is that he hated covers attempting to copy an original work, and also that he wasn't very happy with the fact that Sinnead stole his song (she didn't even announce it as a cover). In fact, he did tons of covers himself, even at the Half time show and said : "I came from the old school, when you like the record, you play the record." So the whole idea he didn't like covers, is a complete myth and a simplification of what he said!!
@@jas_bataille I saw that interview (or did he talk more than once about this subject?) and he basically says that people shouldn't be allowed to cover his songs without his approval. he would call the guy in the video a "so called fan"
Wow 😯 his voice is beautiful ❤️ I once asked to play this in a ole bar and the DJ replied “ I don’t need people hanging themselves in the bathroom “ well a week later that DJ was gone and I had the whole bar swaying and singing Purple Rain. It was pretty cool prince brings everyone together. 💜
There’s no other Prince, but have to say, I really enjoyed his rendition of this song!! He hit the high notes cleanly & made it his own. Well done!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
If you're not Prince then it's almost impossible to sing this song.But this guy killed it!! I don't think we'll ever get a similar rendition. God bless him.
I never dishonor prince by singing prince songs out loud 😂 I can not carry a tune in a bucket 😂 this girl can’t sing at all 😂❤ I could end a hostage situation telling them I’d sing all night & by 2 minutes in 😂 Id make them run screaming jerking their ear drums out begging for cops to arrest them waving that white flag 😂😂 straight up! 😂😂 no talent here.. none.. my sisters now.. they can sing beautifully. Don’t know what happened. My dad says all his girls sing like birds. Me, a crow dying on the side of a road after being hit by a semi 😂😂 so lip singing it is 😂😂 love prince tho! Always lip sing! I actually sing out loud to make my kids get up for school in the morning. They move quick and bail out that bed like their butts are on fire yelling DAD MAKE MOM STOP!! Yeah. My singing is BAD!! 😂 Lakota nation strong!!! 😂 Hokehey!! 😂😂 in war we use what we got yeah?! 😂❤ even on our on kids!! Its WAR!! 😂 my grandfather sparrow taught me well (with ear plugs😂) ❤
Give that man a contract in Vegas! He did an extraordinary rendition of the song! He put his own spin on it instead of just singing it exactly as Prince recorded it. Now that's talent! Sir, if you haven't tried out for American Idol yet, please run to the audition right now.
Dude I literally shouted out “DAMNNN YA BOY CAN SANG!!” This guy strikes me as a natural performer. He has great confidence and stage presence on the mic. Funny, Whitty, open and charming. I’m so glad this video was made and has been viewed so much! Keep it going brothers
I love that he was not trying to sound just like Prince. He made this song his own. And sounding good doing so. The guy on the acoustic guitar is doing an amazing job playing wow!
❤ this guy is totally awesome very talented not only as a singer but as a comedian thank you Reggie for sharing we love you from Connecticut and will continue to follow totally awesome❤🎶💯🎉❤
Goosebumps too, it was fantastic. Made me think of Prince too. 37 years a fan.. Prince was there for me, when I was going through different home issues.. Played and danced to Purple Rain continuously. In my early twenties. ❤Love and peace ✌️🙏🏼😍
Young man if you’re not doing something related to music you are in the wrong line of work. Thoroughly enjoyed your song. You paid homage to our prince & you did him proud!!!💜
It's hard to sing Prince's songs but this guy did pretty good singing Purple Rain ..he has a very unique voice like Prince...I hope he shares his talent with the right people and try for a career in the music business 💜👍
My heart ..😔knowing what I now know about the struggles. Exposing the king makers odd dangerous work. Blessings to the family. He brought many blessings with his music. Thank you. Rest in peace. 💕🙏👆
This guy gives me chills. He gives me Prince at the super bowl vibe. He brings tears to my eyes and warms my heart. Stay humble. I would say it is the beginning of your journey. What a voice.❤❤❤
Someone sign this man immediately!! And let's give a big shout out to Reggie who can play anything and give it a golden sound! Excellent work gentlemen!! 😊🎶🙌🏾
DAAAAAAAMN!!! HE'S GOOD!!! He had me smiling from the moment he began singing. I wish him a beautiful future. He has a great talent/voice. He sang and expressed his emotions.
❤ such a talented young man and comedian we wish him only the best and to continue till he reaches the top God bless you we love you from Connecticut keep shining❤🙏🎶🎶💯🎉❤
Wow! Grew up listening to Prince, total one of a kind genius! It's hard to do justice to a Prince song, especially Purple Rain, but this guy is totally fantastic! Wish him all the luck in the world. ❤
Oh, my! First he made me smile with his subtle humor. Then, he blew me away with his amazing vocal talent. Why is he not a star?! (And he's cute and knows how to engage with the audience.)
Awesome singer 🙌🏽🙌🏽👏🏽. A 10 out of 10✔️. Prince would be proud of him. That falsetto was great✔️✔️. Reggie your guitar playing is wonderful ✔️ Blessings from the Creator for you both🙏🏽❤️❤️
Guitaro, I am so happy that you are doing this. I'm a music teacher of nearly 40 years and my mission in life has to create spaces where people can sing. It is healthy, holy, joyous work. You are an ambassador of music and your gift to the world, there on the street, is a beautiful thing.
