@@thestrangemanreturns Also the people saying someone "mastered" the instruments is just repeated by someone who isn't a musician. You never stop learning your instrument as a musician. And I have played drums, bass, guitar, harmonica, banjo, ukulele, piano, keyboards, dobro, (and then you can pad your resume by saying acoustic guitar, classical guitar, resonator guitar, slide guitar, double-necked electric guitar, etc.) on recordings. That's 14 instruments right there. I would be embarrassed to hear someone call me a multi-instrumentalist that has mastered 14+ instruments. And to the person mentioning Stevie Wonder on drums, he's not that good. Listen to the inconsistent beat on "I Believe (when I Fall in Love it Will Be Forever). One of my favorite musicians and one of my favorite songs in the world, but the drums are NOT good. It sort of adds to the charm of the song, but I wouldn't hire him to play drums. Edit: oh, I also have a digeridoo, a bongo, maracas, and a penny whistle too. I even played the side of a clothes dryer with a soft drum mallet for the sound of a bass drum once, and put a bunch of loose change in a paper bag as a high hat/tambourine effect. 20 instruments and climbing!!

The actual intro in its entirety: "Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to get through this thing we call Life. Electric words and life means forever and that's a mighty long time. But I'm here to tell you, there's something else. The Afterworld. A world of Neverending happiness. You can always see the Sun. Day or night. So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills, you know the one, Dr. Every-thing-will-be-alright. Instead of asking how much of your time is left, ask him how much of your mind baby.

MTV videos were generally the same, with a handful of exceptions like the Thriller video, and even then, after it's first run, an edited, shorter version is usually what's played. Even the album version of Let's Go Crazy (4:38) isn't the full-length version from the movie, but the full-length (7:35) "Special Dance Mix" version was originally released on 12" in '84 (which I own) and a few years ago on the Purple Rain "Deluxe Expanded Edition" CD set.

This is why some people think he was murdered and that the "fake prescription drugs" he had in his possession were purposely there...and also, since this is "Let's Go Crazy" - he did die in an elevator....think about THAT. "Are we gonna let the elevator break us down?"

"Let's Go Crazy" followed "When Doves Cry" as the 2nd single released from Prince's 1984 movie "Purple Rain." Altogether, 5 singles were released from the LP. "Let's Go Crazy" hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (2 weeks), #1 on the the R&B/Soul chart (1 week) and #1 on the Dance chart (1 week) just as "When Doves Cry" had peaked @ #1 on all 3 charts - except "WDC" stayed @ #1 longer on each chart (Hot 100 = 8 weeks, R&B/Soul = 5 weeks & Dance = 6 weeks.

I thought "The Revolution" played the instruments.

I always wanted to see Prince live, but never did 💔 Thank heavens that the world has all the videos of the stars we love 💕😻😻🇨🇦 RIP sweet Prince.

He did nine concerts in Atlanta and I got tickets for the last show. I still have my purple jacket from that concert That jacket is older than my children. It 40 years old lol.

You need to react to Prince, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne etc doing While My Guitar Gently Weeps, it really shows himgoing wild on guitar

Second hit from Purple Rain. The guitar solo is what really opened people's eyes in those days. The multiple synth layers that you guys noticed is a part of the Minneapolis sound that he pioneer. He started that stuff.

Still one the all-time best soundtracks I've ever heard. Every song is a real banger. People throw the word "genius" around for anything and everything these days...but.. this man was a self-taught literal creative, musical genius.. not many in music history, regardless of genre, more talented than Prince. I think a great many people slept on Prince or overlooked his musical abilities because of his flamboyant and controversial appearances and style. Criminally underrated musician. Icon..Legend..

That ending guitar solo turns a song into an experience. Greatness!

Ah, the eighties. Prince was one of the musical bright spots in that decade for sure. That Purple Rain soundtrack was great from start to finish. I have it somewhere on cassette, might have to dig it out and see if it still plays.

Prince was so insanely talented, his writing and singing abilities were incredible and he mastered many different instruments aside from the guitar. A true one man band if he wanted to be

Prince is my favorite Musician. He should be VERY high up on a list of top guitarists of all time.

U Got The Look is one of my favorite song and video combinations. Love it. Let's Go Crazy is just absolutely insane and awesome though.

Look for the video for “while my guitar gently weeps”, it’s a live performance from when he went in the rock n roll hall of fame. Tom Petty sings vocals and Prince cones in with the most epic solo at the end of the song

Prince's guitar solo on the live version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is IMO, the greatest guitar solo of all time... I love you two, you're my favorite musical explorers! Happy Birthday to your daughter, take care and thanks again for sharing your life and this amazing musical journey with us. We wish you you all the success in the world, or as much as you can stand, lol ..

Prince is one of the greatest, if not the greatest artis, of all time because he did this one thing: he made his voice a vital instrument of every song, and made every instrument he played seem like it had it's own voice and sing. Drop the mic . . . Period.

I would love your reaction to Prince live in Dortmund singing "The Cross". Such a great song and Shiela E. killin the drums, u won't be disappointed. He's so talented and missed. Very appreciative of what we he left us...💜

Yes you have to see his tribute to George Harrison While My Guitar Gently Weeps among his peers. Prince took it over and made it his own. 💓💓💓💓💓💓

As mentioned on this thread ... Prince takes that tribute to Georgia Harrison, ‘As My Guitar Gently Weeps’ and OWNS it!!!

THE PURPLE ONE! such an iconic and talented musician, entertainer, actor, singer/song writer. the man was a phenomenon. i loved him back then. I love him still today. Thank goodness we have his body of work to forever enjoy and remember him by. thanks Jordan and Amber. still watchin ya and diggin it. stay cool. go with God. peace and love, y'all. see ya on the next.

This was a great era for this music! Just so freakin' *ICONIC!!!* ... (and your hair is amazing Amber!)

I saw Prince twice in concert and this was always a fun song at the concert with the whole crowd screaming “oh no let’s go!” The next Prince song you guys do needs to be “Kiss.”

One of the greatest guitarists of the rock era. He is missed for many reasons not the least of which was his guitar playing.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. This is still a free speech country (for a little longer). On the other hand, if it’s okay for you to put your opinion, I can do the same. Thanks for your reply.

6:13 her face was priceless 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Man, the greatest rock guitarist imo.

Eric Clapton was once asked, "What is it like to be the greatest guitarist?" Clapton responded "I don't know, go ask Prince" Mad guitar skills. While my guitar gently weeps is a must see from the purple prince

Prince will BLOW YOU AWAY on guitar if you check out While My Guitar Gently Weeps with Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne on vocals and Prince on guitar. Truly one of the best and most underrated guitarists ever. 🎸🎸

No one can duplicate prince's skills 😊

One of those songs I know every word to including the spoken word part. Prince 💜💜💜💜💜

Prince was a true genius. I am still so upset that he died so young. The first time I saw him live in concert was in the early '80's before Purple Rain. His opening acts Vanity 6 and Morris Day and the Time did their thing, he came out and made love to a bed on stage, it was wild. Saw him live 5 more times, no one can compare to his talent. Watch his live performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction of George Harrison doing While My Guitar Gently Weeps with Tom Petty, Steve Winwood and other greats. It's insane.

The 80's was such an era of uniqueness and individuality, and Prince led the pack on both of those qualities.

Prince was Ana amazing musician, human, and role model. He helped shape my teen years. I adored him then, and can not express what a unbelievable performer he was. All energy, all entertaining, and he changed alot in music. He should be honored on many levels for his life.

Prince was a genius in music!! He could play every insrument! I saw him in concert and it was great. A interesting fact is he was terrified of dying on an elevator and he died on. ONE!!!

If you want to see Prince on the guitar, react to “My Guitar Gently Weeps.”

The two biggest albums of 1984 were Bruce SprIngsteen's 'Born in the USA' and Prince's 'Purple Rain.' This song is the lead track of that album. You couldn't listen to the radio for 15 minutes without hearing a Springsteen or Prince song. Prince was one of the most prolific songwriters of our time and an amazing talent. If you like the guitar solo in this one, check his live collaboration with Tom Petty and others performing the Beatles' 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps.' Jimi Hendrix was a major influence on Prince and helped develop his virtuosity on guitar. His Super Bowl halftime performance is regarded by many as the absolute best. He had so much left to create.

@@paulcwalina7910 crazy how Thriller was able to compete with Born in the USA and Purple Rain even though it was almost 2 Years old when those albums came out, that alone tells you how huge that album was.

He was a very talented Musician
