I always have the impression with Landau that it really is about loving the music.
The effortless talent, the unimaginable humility and the untouched vocal expressions of the soul....wow!!
Landau isn't just a singer, he's a top class entertainer!
Yes yes yes... Prince is listening and gives this a thumbs up!!! You go Mr.Landau... Amazing

I reckon he is listening from somewhere safe. He's actually still with us, safe only under Witness Protection with about 900 others. "Many you think are alive are actually dead (arrested, tried, and executed political figures and celebrities) and many you think are dead are alive." The mainstream "news" liars have assured that the only way for Prince and about 900 others to STAY alive has been to fake their own deaths and go into Witness Protection.
I don't know if Landau will ever see these comments, me being a musician for 40 years and knowing what it takes to perform on stage, I give you a 11 of 10. Great stage presence, and your lead player is phenomenal. very good Landau, I'm Impressed. Thank you
I'm a rocker. I don't do jazz. But my wife & I saw Landau last week. I'm a Landau fan all the way. Great guy. Great voice.
WHY am I not seeing his music for sale and why don't I hear this great singer on the radio or hear of him doing a concert? This man is something special!
Very classy and smooth. He should be in the WV Music Hall of Fame.
Landau and his band did that Prince tribute justice. That was nice
So many people try to do tributes to Prince but they cannot touch this guy. Stop looking for the big names guys this is your guy. His voice is amazing no matter what he sings. And the musicians are all renowned legends. And with all this he remains so humble. From homelessness to heaven keep singing Landau.🙏
This cat is the real deal. I've seen him twice and he is talented, humble, nice, and has a great sense of humor. His talent has grown even moreso since AGT.
I'm so proud for this man. From his first performance, I knew he would be the one. I actually rate him in the Top 5 All Time "Got Talent" performers worldwide. And what makes him special.....character, class, compassion, caring, clarity, and just great humanity.

Agreed. I too thought he was something special on his very first XFactor performance. He was over the top, and his humility is still amazing.

Do African American Men know how cool they are!!!.No equal.IMO
The old boy and his guitar just smashed the hell out of that performance...and Landau too. Well done all.
You'd never know this man had not been performing on a stage since he was a toddler. He is so natural and has a wonderful voice. I love everything I've seen him do. And he's soooo good looking also!
This was exceptional!!! Not many can sing a Prince song but Landau blazed it lol!!! Like they told him..."He has a natural God given talent" !!!! I'm so glad he had his chance to shine on stage and have his moment. I hope it never ends!!!
Landau Murphy is incredible. This guy can sing . His guitarist is outstanding as well. Love this mans voice wow!
Bought his first record and still play it constantly while driving down the road. It brings a smile to my face every time thinking of his audition. Thank goodness this talent has not been wasted. I will be looking on my Google search for a recording of this. Excellent....
So few people can sing Purple Rain, that was awesome. Wow.
wish there was a love button

Just discovering MR LANDAU. AWESOME. He s just got RAW TALENT. Am no expert, but I bet he can perform EVEN BETTER. He just needs To REMAIN humble and down to earth. ALL the best to this rising Artist😍😍😍

I just discovered Landau today-and wow am i amazed at his amazing God given talent!!! He is one of the top talents of all time and i hope he can remain humble and true throughout his entire life.
Boy he's come a long way --- good for him - seems like he has such a huge heart
Man he can sing from the day i herd him on American got talent chewing his gum Landau keep it up.
Dear Landau, You are a rare gift from the Gods!!! You seem to have a humble and beautiful spirit. Please don't change that quality. Don't let the instant fame you've experienced change that.
This performance made me feel like I was happily in love with my significant other. But as soon as the video ended reality was screaming in my face" girl stop fooling yourself, you are as single as a crisp dollar bill". Great job done by everyone, but Landau and the guitarist did that!!

Par for the course. Landau Eugene Murphy is an amazing talent and a great man! Thanx for the post.😁
There is a very short list of people on the planet who can sing, and who should be allowed to sing, Purple Rain. Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. is one of that elite group. As well as his voice, his ease on the stage, from Day 1, is amazing ... as is the guy on the guitar (name)? The two of them should do more work together.
This is incredibly great how you can introduce the audience's in your performances !!!! YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY A SUPER STAR BUT WHAT I LIKE THAT YOU BEHAVE VERY NORMAL ‼‼‼ THAT'S AN EXCELLENT SONG !!!! AND YOU ARE NOT THE "NEW OR BLACK" FRANK SINATRA !!!! YOU ARE THE FIRST ❤❤ LANDAU EUGENE MURPHYJR. ❤❤ 💯🌟🌟🌟🌟‼‼🥰🌴🌇🦋🦋🦋🌞🌞💞💞💞💞🌿💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘
He's incredible seriously. Wow amazing just so calm and knowledgeable.
Don’t know when, if ever, remembering Prince won’t make me cry, but Landau thank you for that wonderful tribute. Hats off to that guitarist too. Well done Sir.
Awesome performance by Landau. Cant believe how talented this guy is!
Very few can sing without music , you nailed it . Thanks for sharing baby doll 💫
THANK YOU !!! Thank you for just singing the song and not messing it up with outrageous riffing...this is the BEST cover I have EVER heard !! Literally, because you kept it simple. There are some songs that don't need to be changed and this is definitely one of them !! Amazing
woooooowwww!!!!!..... the guitarist!!!!!
Hot dayum! Effortless Class! I thought his Sinatra style was Fantastic and Now This!! Amazing! Such an enjoyable.and talented entertainer and sweetheart of a genuine person! Somebody left THIS dear soul homeless??! Oh the consequences!
I love this version of purple rain
His life is never gonna be the same. What an inspiring story
Love it! That guy is playing the hell out of that guitar!
So proud of you 😎
You are a spectacular man! Amazing, humor,looks, voice! Bam, bam bam!!! #3snapencore
Fantastic version. You did it proud, L.E.M.
Mr. Landau is the best, wish he put out more Cds
I LOVE THIS GUY SO MUCH!!
Great voice!!!!
Beautiful voice you can also feel his passion for music xx
I can listen to him saying all day and night
Maaaaan! Get I-ta Taoun!! This man's Soul summons The Spirits of many Great Crooners, then and now. Every time he records and performs... Landau's voice transforrrmmz and those spirits join him to reclaim their voices. Remind you of our other Magnificent Genius? Well... Miss Eunice Kathleen Waymon✨. . .Heeer's to you: Mr Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr! This trubute: the backup singers, that echo effect for Landau, that beautiful set of Horns and Violins between phrases - like 3-second Symphonies-simply awe-suum! ... Guitarist ...kool as a cucumber, and killin-it!
this man is a superstar !
So proud of you! 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
As soon as the first few notes go off my heart squeezes. I have always loved Prince. Hearing his music now only makes me sad knowing I'll never ever hear him live again. There will never be a new song from him. It's very hard to hear his songs. I don't know when I'll be done grieving for him. God rest his soul.
Amazing singer!!!
really love his singing for this song
Yes prince was a musical genius
Thanks for the post! He is great at anything he sings!

Indeed remarkable performance. I too would pay to see that same show live. Both Mr. Murphy and the guitarist (don't know his name?) are tremendously talented! So glad I tuned in
W.ow, Purple Rain. Brings it all back. What was it Nick Cannon said, "He Blazed It"!

Great personality. Just a All TIME NATURAL
Landau is a treasure
Awesome!
Am thankful you are here you deserve it.
Prince was an awesome person. He did so much in his life when he was alive. And you know what, People really didn't know that he did a lot of good things. I still say that they murdered him because he wouldn't let them control him. He was my favorite on American got talented
Always great ...
Love it...
I love this guy so much! I want to be his close friend...
Where is this guy? He's great! He should be a headliner in Vegas and making records right now.
OMG this was awesome...
Dudes a beast!!!

I used to hear him sing in my friends basement...his own stuff. Now that was raw real and beautiful. This Sinatra thing isnt the real Landau...to me anyway. Of course he does it perfectly but I long for his original stylings
so natural. Love his hair. I'm still debating dreads. congrats to wifey and family, what a great man!😀👍😍
Nice. Great. Wonderfull. An artist with angel. Go on Landau.
Landau please come to Indianapolis this summer, or even better Wabash, IN. I'm dying to see you live.
Amazing voice.
I nominate him for the West Virginia Hall of Fame.
Merci soyez bénis abondamment merci encore pour ta belle voix amen 🕍💒🕍💒🕍💒🕍💒🕍💒💖💗💕💟🌼💝💛💜💙💚💞❤💓🕍💒
