    I'm from Alabama. I play rock n' roll and every cowboy country singer I ever met had the most utmost respect for Prince. We'll never see that much talent in one human in our lifetime ever again. Prince could dance, sing, write songs and play every instrument on the stage. Much respect! History will study Prince 100 years from now.

It was absolutely magical!!! He actually apologized for maybe not getting it right before starting but we all know he nailed it!!!!

    Chris Stapleton is in a genre all on his own. He doesn't just sing, he sangs. He is perfect. He is also completely humble & a very kind human being. Chris is the real deal. Chris was blessed with raw talent that supersedes everyone in the music industry. Chris could sing the menu at the Waffle House & it would be awesome. I love everything he has done. Every single song he has sung or wrote is a hit to me. Chris Stapleton is phenomenal.

    Chis doesnt just sing...he sangs, he has a complete understanding and feel of The Blues and that makes him a genius. But i think this song proves, yet again, the superb genious of Prince. He gave this song to Shinead O'Connor and her haunting, saddness made it a galactic hit. Then Prince recorded it and, of course, Princed it up and it was amazing. What an amazing tribute to Prince' outstanding genius. Thank you Chris for giving us your gift. And btw: how bout that harmonica on a Prince song...love it!

    I've never heard a bad rendition of this song. Chris Cornell does my personal favorite, but they're all soulful, beautiful versions. There's something about the song itself I think that only the most truly emotionally invested can deliver it and everyone knows not to try to imitate. You gotta feel this song deep in your bones to even attempt it.

    What so many don’t understand is Chris has been around for a long time, he just wasn’t that popular bc he wrote instead of performed. Once he began to perform a few of his songs did he get the recognition he deserves. He’s insane! It’s effortless the way he belts out those notes and he can slay a guitar. The guy is superbly talented.

    Prince, wrote, composed and performed every instrument that his band would eventually play with him. There was no mold for Prince, he created himself! To dare cover his music takes huge self confidence. Chris does it his own way masterfully. No disrespect in what he does here. He honors Prince.
    I've said it before; Prince was among the best guitar players in the world, if not the best but he was underrated! We lost a tremendous ICON when he passed. Like Jimmy Hendrix though, he left behind so much unrecorded music that we will discover his beauty through songs for decades.
    Thank You for sharing this tribute.

    The 1990 Sinead O'Connor version, is the definitive version of this song for me. Perhaps because I was at an age where I was actually starting to pay attention to music, and seeing music videos on Top of the pops (UK TV show for chart music) and just seeing the emotion in that very simple music video I think blew my little mind. Plus, the way I see it, Sinead was one of the pioneers of getting that Celtic / Irish vocal style into the mainstream which we still hear artists using even today.

I had no clue he covered this song… I’m 38 years old & Sinead O’Connor’s version is still my favorite… Don’t get me wrong Stapleton has these amazing soul crushing pipes that make you weak in the knees… he’s so consistent and the quality is immaculate! But I think Sinead’s voice is either emotionally nostalgic for me or I’m just being biased, lol! I’m seeing Stapleton Dec 5th in Knoxville this year & I’m ecstatic! I happened to be in Gilford, NH when he performed there with his wife, Morgane. I’m praying she’s also performing with him in December 🤞🏻… together, they’re breathtaking.. Surprisingly, I’m not a big country fan, but if a singer or lyrics can touch me in such a way, I can’t ever get enough of it. Thank you for your hard work & this channel… & thank you for showing me this version of one of my favorite songs…. Chris Cornel’s version is another personal favorite & that’s definitely because I’m biased. I’ve been a Soundgarden fan since 10 years old.. Luckily saw Soundgarden live at Red Rocks, Colorado in 2011… Amazing!

    Sinead O'Connor did a great job on this one, but I'm certain Prince is very proud of the way Chris did this cover. He did it to truly honor a great man and pay homage to him and his many contributions to the world as a whole, but especially the music industry. Well done, Chris Stapleton, well done

    Mr. Lboyd. Wow. Just. Wow. You made me finally have my first senior citizens moment. Deep breath here. You actually said, “Prince was way before my time.....” Like, my damn! I just turned 65 (shout out class of 1974!), and had the utmost pleasure of meeting the the G.O.A.T. three times in my life. And always came away with two distinct impressions- that I was in the company of greatness, and that he was so “regular.” But be that as it may, I fell down the Chris Stapleton rabbit hole some three years ago and love all the qualities that you mentioned. But I beg to differ in your reaction. My first, I might add. But Prince is Prince and NOTHING COMPARES TO HIM!

    @michaeldjguardianmeans6281 Před 2 lety +22

    Dear MrLBoyd, when you stated that you like Chris Stapleton’s tribute better than the original Prince and The Family track may be attributed to a few factors, at least these are my reasons.
    1) Chris’ rasp has a special feeling quality to it. It’s the melodically warmness and feeling like he’s giving you everything he’s got when doing so.
    2) coupled with the rasp are his pinpoint perfect and unique stank face creating bluesy runs wherein only Etta James seems to hold a natural candle.
    3) and all those things work towards his genuineness that emulates through his vocal as he feels and believes and dwells on every word and emotion.
    Those are all special qualities and when you have a song like this, with exquisitely perfectly true and often heart wrenching lyrics, along with a slow pace that allows a lot of room to play in, and it’s just something Chris will make magical.
    Prince was amazing and unique and quirky, and the original with him is stellar, but lyrically and melodically Chris will always make it better.
    On a final note, it’s also Chris’ clearly honoring and respecting the original by throwing in that falsetto and other aspects that would not be present in a Stapleton original that helps make it even better than what it was already.
    Respect to Chris and to you Mr Boyd and to the donor who requested this track.

    Prince recorded in 1984 but didn't release it. He had his band "The Family" release it on their album in 1985. I had the cassette and played this album to the tape wore out. Entire album was fire.
