    If Prince had never written a song, he would still have been known as one of the greatest singers of all time. If he never sang a song, he would have been known as one of the guitar greats. If he didn't play guitar, he would have been a first call session bassist or keyboardist. If he didn't sing or play an instrument, he could have been a dancer on anyone's stage. He did all of those things to support his songs. He was the full package. God, I miss him!

      Roger Prince Jr. _Truth!!
      As I watch this video it takes me back to the feelings I had when he disbanded the Revolution.. I bugged out!!
      Seeing how he pulled this band together as he headed in a *new direction* trying this new funk, we had to get used to the new members.. Respect!
      Having Sheila, Boni, Eric, Levi, etc.. Everything fell into place and he brought it back together with a musical genius that most people overlook! So thankful in the bigger picture because ALL this extraordinary music was the result. NOBODY CAN TAKE THE PLACE OF THIS GENIUS OF A MAN!👍💯

      @Steve OK..i'l take a stab. Obviously, it is well known that Prince possessed a wonderful and unique falsetto- immediately recognizable. And while his baritone is not one of particular note he definitely improved it through the years and there are plenty of examples of his excellent capabilities there (Shhh, live version of nothing compares for example). He certainly did not have “trouble carrying a note,” Far from it there’s plenty of great live examples of his singing and he very rarely is off key.
      The guitar god thing has been debated to death. He’s great. Plenty of examples. It’s a bit subjective but Miles Davis called him a genius on guitar and that’s good enough for me. Seriously, listen to live version of Just my Imagination…I could go on but would rather focus on lyrical content. Because he’s underrated there…
      Lyrically, oh boy are you way off base. There are so many examples of his brilliant and perceptive lyrics and at his best almost non cliched. Songs such as Pop Life, If I was your Girlfriend, SOTT, Last December, Anastasia, Controversy, Sexuality, 7, Holy River, When u were mine, and on and on so aptly get under social realities few pop writers have ever ventured to face. His navigating the extremes of sex and god opened a pandora’s box of unanswered questions that invites us back time and again. I could write pages on some of his absolute genius works that reflect that but let me dive right into the wheelhouse you use as an example of lack of lyrical depth- the 1999 album. He was in his mid 20 so okay there’s some immaturity there but look deeper. Oh, I could easily go to the genius of Little Red Corvette and talk about it being the tightest metaphor between sex and cars in rock history. And of course LRC is really a double metaphor- it’s not just sex but also LRC refers to a womans privates.. Machiavellian Dirty little prince. 😊
      No , dig into into the B side where he explores the depths of relationships as described by the color wheel theory of love in psychology.
      Automatic- Starts off in a Mania love, This type of love tends to lead a partner into a type of madness and obsessiveness. On the color wheel, it is represented by the color purple!!! Of course…He constructs the vocal delivery in an hypnotic, trance like state. Totally subservient and under control of his master. The whole thing devolves into sadomasochism as a foreshadowing/metaphor for the pain you feel in this type of behavior.
      Next is Something in the Water Does not compute which moves into an Eros type love but that devolution is met with “treating a man so bad.” He is repeatedly hurt over and over. Confusion sets in as he examines his failed relationships and climaxes with his legendary screams- both anger and sadness and finally acceptance.
      Then Lady Cab Driver- Having been blinded and hypnotized by love, then hurt over and over again Prince emerges as the Ludus lover- now dominate and in control. He is no longer interested in committed relationships but rather just the fun and adventure of casual sex. But ah he’s not done there. Taking us through an epic trilogy wasn’t enough- the emotional center is a class work on the social views of sex and love- all at the center of this magnificent work. Yes, he has sex with his antagonist. But each pelvic thrust is dedicated to some form of lover or hate, good and bad, sex and devine. You can dismiss this as overly sexed drivel and that works! Or you can dive into the rabbit hole and analyze the complexity of the concepts and the social backslap this whole thing represents.
      Man and this is the tip of the iceberg of great lyrical work in his career…so much more. He wasn’t perfect, nobody is, and there plenty of examples of lazy songwriter but man at his peak he is something to behold.
      But I’ll finish with this- overrated comment: He is: 1. Guitarist - in the conversation as on of the greats. 2. Vocalist- great. 2. Lyrical writer- in the conversation as one of the greats. 3. Live performer- in the conversation as one of the greats. 4. Dancer- great. 5. Producer- great. 6. Multi instrumentalist- in the conversation as one of the greats. 7. Engineer- he could do it. 8 Composer- pop one of the greats. 9. Prolificacy - in the conversation as most prolific. 10. Ehh I could go on but why…
      Nobody ticks all those boxes- thus not overrated but actually underrated….
      Crying indeed…

      @Steve Overrated as defined by fans saying he was the greatest at all things. That I understand. It is absurd. But I can't think of any other act that did all those things so well. I mean the Beatles were an entire band, and couldn't dance. :) There is subjectivity when it's comes to who is the best. He was a great guitarist but man I'd have a hard time calling him better, or worse than Hendrix, Gilmour, BB king, Van Halen, Satriani, Hammet, Vai and so on. But it is an honor that he is in that conversation- and that should not be looked at as a bad thing. So many great flavors. My main point though was don't sleep on him as a lyricist... yeah there was a lot of chaff but that wheat made for some really nice whiskey...think i'll have some angel's envy in his honor and listen to the just released 1977 recording of ICNTTPOYM...

      Mari Reyna -
      You know what's amazing about Prince, unlike any of Today's artists. He never did Lip Sync in Concert. Do you even know what kind of shape and cardio he had to be in for ALL of those years, jumping from heights down to the stage, in heels no less, dancing, making it to the Mic on que not missing a beat. The man not only was "PERFECTION" he was "GIFTED" & a "GIFT TO MANY", he was an "INSPIRATION", as he too "INSPIRED", he had a "TROUBLED" childhood and for a lot of us, his music was our "ESCAPE" from our troubled childhood, he was " ANONYMOUSLY GIVING" my opinion the way it should be, & "IT HELPED MANY". He was so many different things to millions of people over the years; however, when it comes down to it I don't think he was happy after losing his son, I don't think he truly could erase the image. After all Prince too was human, he had feelings, I think as an Artist you probably tend too have more. Compile the pain of your body from dancing all those years and emotional pain of wanting too forget, it's a perfect storm.
      One thing I know for certain; I am, "Thankful to Prince for Gifting Us Decades of Amazing Music, No One Will Replace You as My Number One, As I Told You Before, You Can Now Be "Free" To Be Free of Pain and "Free" To Be With Your Son." You'll Never Be Forgotten!!!
      I'm not even sure if he could have imagined the impact, he really made on so many of us, it truly is a shame he didn't have anyone who cared enough too stand up him. That's what real family and friends do, and for those that say they had no idea, I still say B.S.

    Love him in the 80s and still do. For me, he’s the greatest musician of all time.

    I was 17 when this came out. I'm so very glad I grew up during this amazing time. With Prince and Michael Jackson gone our world is just that more dark and dreary.

      Mj music didnt do anything to the world to be honest, prince saved life with his music, for exempel he saved Mac Millers life when he tried to kill himself, thats the power of his music, mj was a okey dancer

      Stefan Jovanovic Why do you have to discredit one performer in order to celebrate another. Even Prince himself recognized MJ’s greatness. MJ’s death affected him greatly and he could barely talk about MJ’s passing publicly. It upset him.

      Stefan Jovanovic Um the internet broke when MJ died and his fan base is going harder than ever as I’m writing this. You can dislike him or think he’s not talented but don’t be delusional, the nigga was the second most famous person only second to Jesus and while you’re on CZcams, you can watch videos about artists appreciation and inspiration for him.

    All the praise comes after the world has got tired of ripping a human being apart. Thank you Prince Rogers Nelson for your music. I was too young to hear you then but hear you now and always will

      And Terence Trent Darby, the one Michael Jackson threw of the Mountain, so he can be the only one to shine.

      Elvis got his "crown" from Sis. Rosetta Tharpe & Wynonie Harris. Even Johnny Cash mentions Rosetta Tharpe as being highly influential in his development as a musician.
