Prince knew how to record as good as anyone else, and he would prep 'demos' that were very good quality. but he also hired the best producers and recording engineers in the business. check out some interviews with Sylvia Massey and others who worked with him. yeah, he knew his shit. yeah, he'd tell them exactly what he wanted and what recording techniques and gear to use most of the time. but he did still hire the best to do it. recording yourself is extremely tedious. recording others is genuinely fun. being recorded is reasonably fun. yes, he was able to record himself, and sometimes did... but usually he'd call in some help. it's just a lot to do.

People laughed at me when I said he was an even bigger genius than Mozart. I told them that Mozart didn't play as many instruments as Prince. Prince played every instrument on one of his albums. Prince could play guitar, piano, saxophone, bass, flute and drums and he played them all very well but he was probably best on the guitar. Prince also had a wonderful voice of multiple octaves, pretty rare. He also wrote thousands of songs, most are in a vault and may never be heard by the public. Motzart was great but I think Prince was greater, I wonder if Mozart could dance like Prince. Heh.

@johnslade7540

It's not JUST the number of instruments but the fact that he played them well enough to make hit songs. He played all the instruments on one of his albums and it was great. Dancing is a great thing and he did it well. You can see what great dancing is when you look at James Brown. Prince had many talents and a great voice too. But his mental genius is what made him truly great, he wrote thousands of songs, many that may never see the light of day.

As it is with most musical/artistic geniuses, he left us way too early. I have always held the theory that the depth of feeling it takes to create true genius oftentimes is too overwhelming. Exceptional artists feel more deeply, live inside their heads, use their pain, loneliness, loss, fear, to create beautiful art, but that same beauty is a poison which over time takes them from us.

I love how sophisticated people were in the 80s. Artists presented ART. No nudity, no profanity. They had real talent, needed to fake nothing to cover up their shortcomings...

Do Me Baby was also a huge R&B hit for Meli'sa Morgan back in the 80s. Prince was prolific. He was a truly gifted dude. Many of his writings/songs were never published. Sad that he died so young.

You can also tell by the songs title, as he likes to use numbers and letters (Nothing Compares 2 U). My biggest surprise was the Celine Dion one!

Jeff Lynn (ELO and The Traveling Wilburys) was a pretty prolific song writer as well. He wrote many great hits for many great artists over the years. Google him!

Still so prolific in his final years. In the last 2 years (2014-2015) he released 4 albums, each a different genre of music, and produced & wrote tracks on Judith Hill's album Back In Time

Check out Sheena Easton's 'Cool Love.' Talk about a great song written by Prince. It has to be my favorite.💜

To be able to write for an artist, the era of music and its genre it takes a very gifted person to do so. Prince was just that person.

One understated talent I personally appreciated by Prince is that his songs had a powerful first lyric...."Dig you will of a picture, of you and I engaged in a kiss." or "She always wears a long coat of mink..even in the summertime." or "There's a place where I come from called...Heaven." and many more. Good Stuff! I know he was heavily influenced by singer-poetess Joni Mitchell.

Yeah they missed that one big time

Prince is my, the most revered artist of all time. One of my bests . Though Martika did write m a poem to Love m, thy will be done, and the verse. It’s technically her song. The industry did affect her. Never to be heard from again… She was an incredible artist.

What happened to martika?

Super Bowl 2022 required multiple singers to carry a halftime show. Prince was a solo act.

"How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore" was a Top Ten R&B hit for Stephanie Mills before Alicia Keys got a hold of it!

I'd be honored if some Prince fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PURPLE RAIN and DIAMONDS & PEARLS on my YT channel in tribute to the greatest songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist of all time. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and RESPECT to the genius of Prince.

“When you were mine”, was such a great song. Loved it by both artists!

The word 'genius' is one of the most prostituted modern expressions around; everyone from a mediocre child star to a certain super clown has been referred to as a genius! And yet the title of 'genius' is hardly adequate to describe Prince's incomparable musical inspirations, instrumental, virtuosity, lyrical mastery and overall showmanship.

Very well said.. and even this isn't the true credit he deserves. I just wonder wht is in his vaults.... What would he have released when he was in his 90's and needed cash. What are the songs that he threw away... thinking they weren't good enough. It's one thing to be a genius... and yet another to be a prolific genius.

He actually wrote the Glamorous Life for SheeNA E but she was busy(??) so he gave it to SheeLA E. I’ve seen her perform w/Prince, w/her dad Pete Escovido and alone and she’s phenomenal! Meet her in SJ. And the last time I saw Prince a cpl yes b4 he left us. So miss him.

I went to see Prince in London - and all of a sudden in the middle of the show he began to sing "Nothing compares". I was so confused... That's when I learnt that he actually was thw author of the song.

They missed "Stand Back" one of the first singles of Stevie Nicks when she released her first album without Fleetwood Mac

Prince was capable of composing a no. 1 in 9 minutes and then make pancakes for everyone. And I'm not sure if it really took him that long.

Correction: Sinéad O’Connor covered “ Nothing Compares To You” for her 1990 NOT 1999 album.

They were too dumb to know Stephanie Mills did " How Come U Don't Call " first back in 83' so, the posters of this video must've acquired knowledge about most of these songs, probably after his death and not from a very good source either.

Prince really is the greatest.

Prince is the real GOAT! This is only a small portion of his work for others!

My husband is a HUGE Prince fan, he probably knows just about every album, song, even lyrics. BUT he didn't know about the song Prince wrote and sang with Madonna for the movie Happy Feet.
