Of course they will. That’s one of the good things about the internet. People aren’t forgotten anymore. There are reactions to Elvis, Righteous Brothers etc.

Prince was also a music activist. He lobbied for artists to own the music they created. He played twenty-seven instruments and produced all of his own music. He wrote, played, sang, recorded, and produced his first album when he was only 20 years old. He was an icon and set trends like "text speech" with songs like "I Would Die 4 U" and lots more. I cried the day he died.

@@burlhorse61 I think Prince was both. Michael was a tragic figure who, in my opinion, peaked in the early 80s. After that he almost became a parody of his former, potential self.

Prince was a self taught musician also. He was Ah-ma-Zing! Thanks to him music can still be great! Try listening to Raspberry Beret or Little Red Corvette! Love Prince 😍 and Billy Idol!

This song always gives me chills. One of my top favorite. Prince was only a year younger than me when he hit the stage circuit. Musical Genius 💜🎸💜

IMHO Prince was much cooler as a musician than Michael Jackson. MJ could sing , dance and composed some great Tunes, but Prince was funkier and could play virtually any instrument. Really underrated as a guitar player. Prince has a bunch of killer songs. You owe it to yourself to watch the entire movie "Purple rain".

This song gives me chills, makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck, it's so good.

Someone has probably already mentioned this, but to really understand the emotion behind this video (which is actually a clip from the movie), you have to watch the movie to see what led up to this performance. The song, in and of itself, is phenomenal. When you see it in context, it's much more powerful. I first saw the movie (when it came out in 1984) at the theater on a Navy base. When this part played - not a dry eye in the house.

When Prince died, it broke me up. My son (ho is a great guitarist and just about to turn 21) asked me: "But could he play guitar? I hooked him up with Prince, MTV Unplugged: 'Cream'. He dropped his jaw. So Cream is MY suggestion, young-head. ❤

Hey guys, I just found your channel and I really love watching you guys listen to hit songs from the past. As an old timer from Oklahoma, I was around when many of these songs and artists made their way up the Top 40 charts. Since I was raised in an ultra conservative town where folks didn't accept people who looked like Prince, I was taught not to like Prince. Thank God that later in life I learned the truth - you can't judge people or their talent on the basis of skin color, religion, race, or their dress code! Prince was an unbelievably-gifted vocalist, guitarist, and musician. I don't know of a guitarist active today that can keep up with Prince. He was also an accomplished pianist/keyboardist, drummer, bassist and saxophonist. He played ALL instruments on his first two albums, "For You" and "Prince". Purple Rain became one of my favorite songs of all time. I hope you guys like it too ,and keep up the great job you are doing on your channel.

I miss Prince being on this earth so much. I've seen amazing groups, like Pink Floyd, and timeless artists, like Barbara Streisand, but a Prince concert is #1 on my list of concerts I've been to. He was the MOST talented artist of my lifetime, no one else even comes close. He wrote the songs, played the instruments, sang, and could move around a stage like no one else. If you haven't yet, check out a Prince bio. He made his first album alone -- played every single instrument. The man was not of this earth. He was absolute genius.

When Eric Clapton was asked by rolling stone magazine “ how does it feel to be the best guitar player in the world” he said I don’t know you had better ask Prince. True story

Prince was a genius. “Let’s Go Crazy,” with its opening monologue like a eulogy, is unforgettable.

Prince and Michael were both musical geniuses but Prince wrote so many number one hits for others. Sinead O'connor "Nothing Compares to You" was written by Prince too.

I bought his purple rain album and went to the movie over 10 times at 17,i loved the whole sound track 💕

You have to watch his story, he is an amazing artist during a time where his style was not always understood. His time was an amazing experience. I graduated HS in 1989 and 1999 was our anthem. The movie Purple Rain, is basically his life in an extremely shortened version - best to watch any of his documentaries. It's worth it if you love music.

Literally the only star I ever cried for when I heard he died. I still can’t believe he is gone. He was and still is a musical genius. From day one, he wrote, sang, played every instrument, arranged and produced his own music. All at just 17 years old. As others have said, watch the movie because it was semi-autobiographical and amazing. Then, watch the documentary Purple Reign to learn more about the rest of his life. His vault of unreleased music (his vault) is said to contain enough songs to be able to release an album a year for the next 100 years. Just mind blowing. Also, he was one of the SEXIEST men alive❣️

Prince had a voice that carried many octaves. Raw Talent, and could play a host of instruments.

I finally got the chance, after 3 decades, to be able to see Prince live. It was the most anticipated concert of my life. And he DELIVERED. He came out and did a 7 minute guitar solo intro to Purple Rain. My husband’s jaw dropped. I think he had been distracted by the glam, and the weird name change, to properly realize that Prince was the GOAT. Prince played for hours that night. Several encores. The lights came on, people headed to the hallways to leave, and then we all heard the opening notes of Cream. Everybody ran back in, and he played for a huge dance party for I don’t know how long. Best. Concert. I’ve. Ever. Seen.
