@@amandapoore-counts536 Talent comes in all forms, There has been many mucisians that have awesome talent. Prince was just a true mucisian, he sang from the heart and was able to express himself through music. He understood music and how all instraments accent the other. In my opinion any mucisian that never sings the song the same way twice are the geniuses. If you belive in your heart in the music story you are telling people will hear that and follow. That's the difference between a cookie cutter and a baker.

Genius. One of the greatest artists of all time.

Ain't nobody better

Oh man! The acoustic guitar work is really something else..😮

A friend of mine used to provide security for stage areas/performers on behalf of a concert promoter in the UK in the 90s. Prince was touring and was hit by a sudden strike by roadies and crew not specific to Prince but affecting his final set up of instruments and monitors on stage. My friend was a tall bald intimidating looking Scotsman who was on security on stage and he saw Prince personally tune and set up each instrument and monitor personally, and expertly linked up with the mixing desk so he could perform that night. Prince asked him to help move/ set up the heavier items and he was so full of admiration and respect for Princes attitude and competence and work ethic that he helped him as he was not a member of the union on strike. He said Prince was quite strong for a "little guy in heels" and enjoyed his sense of humour even under pressure, he was also impressed that Prince wasnt bothered by his own rather formidable appearance and was happy to speak with him. I love that insight, it dosnt surprise me.

She whispered "go on, try it out", and I played it for a few minutes. Beautiful guitar. I put the guitar back in the case and as she closed it and gave it to the shipping manager, she said "You just got to play Prince's new custom Taylor". The guitar in this video. That's kinda cool.

You just raised the level of stupidity to like 9000

I had no idea how great Prince was until lately!

Pretends to throw his ring into the left-side of the crowd: _"Psyche..."_ Ugh, I love him for doing that.

Makes today’s singers look untalented pure class

Love the way he corrects the crowd

There are artists that can't be ranked. There can never be another. Those who grew up with him in his prime (from when he started till the day he left us) are incredibly grateful.

If you know guitar, everything Prince does is overwhelmingly impressive. He’s among the best of the best and criminally under-appreciated.

Well this Prince we’re talking about here...

Man the more I look at Prince's playing the more I'm amazed. I mean there's not really a lot to that song technically speaking, it's like two chords and a handful of fills. But it is just so dripping in Prince's natural funk that I could never get close to replicating it.

PFC is where I go for a simultaneous dose of tears and laughter. BRILLIANT...

Ladies and gentlemen, THIS clip right here, is the Perfect example of COOL. He's couldn't be beat.

Prince did it all and at the highest level. Vocal talent. Writing talent. Ability on every instrument. And if he never wrote or sang a word in his life he’d still go down as one of the greatest guitarists ever.

Only Prince can you allow the crowd to sing with him, catch them being off key, and correct them with a "uhmm-uhmm". What we won't do is play with the music tonight lol

"I wrote this song while looking in the mirror"!!! If there ever was anyone who had every right to brag about himself, it was Prince!

That “psych” comment before tossing the ring to a fan lol. Prince was in a category all by himself. Genius musician and entertainer.

I could listen to Prince play the guitar like this all day..

What's fascinating here is the interplay between his extremely expressive voice and the guitar work which is so electric, fanciful, tactile and gymnastic. Yes, gymnastic guitar work that prods and pokes and draws us right up to Heaven. This is where he really shone. Alone, not weighed down by others, not fenced in by their limitations. Just him alone, shining, glowing in his element.

Perfect description sir.

KZread has allowed me appreciate Prince's genius level talent (people who can do things you haven't even yet imagined) far more than when I was young and thought that some of his singles were "catchy". As a musican and singer/songwriter he has to be one of the best ever but as a perfomer I can't think of an equal.
