Good Day to you all. My name is Peter and I made this video with Prince back in the late 80s. I worked at Editel, which was one of the premier edit house in the day, he had shot all the footage at his place and showed up one Monday night with a box of tapes because he knew of my effects work. Remember this was before the computers and software of today, I had to layer each letter in the video one at a time. I enjoyed a healthy working relationship with him, a nice guy, incredibly talented. I still have other versions of the video with more messages in it but we felt we wouldn't get away with it as much as we did. I'm so glad this is available to all, thanks.
@Peter Beyt you were blessed to work with him..I know some others who have and they all speak highly of him..One word that is universally used to describe working with him is "Magic"
Peter Beyt THANK U FOR SHARING A BLESSED LEGACY WITH HIM. this song is now one of my best and Favorite songs from the Icon! A big list of PRINCE!!!
Peter Beyt Last, God bless you and continue on working big and smart! Prince couldn't have done it without U. LOVES U VERY MUCH! SENDING LOVE💜💜💜💜
How was Prince
Peter. You MUST post the alternative videos. Us fans are desperate for more. Do it and I’ll marry you!
PRINCE IS A MUSIC GENRE ALL BY HIMSELF
I have a playlist of just his songs. He is THAT dude...
More true words have never been spoken
Even though this wasn't considered one of his biggest hits, it's in my top 3 favorite Prince songs. That funk is undeniably infectious!
I just find it to be a very happy song. They should have had Prince sing it on Sesame Street.
It's one of his biggest hits.
You're right, it's not one of his most popular ones, but it is ahhh-mazin!!
Did you jerk your body like a horny pony would?😅
@@dougwhiley4028 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😮😢😮😢o
RIP Prince. This man was not only exceptionally gifted, but a musical "genius".
early 80s prince wrote i would die 4 U 4 = april U = 21 i would die april 21 prince died april 21 2016
mirror datum april 21 counted back from 31 december = 9 - 11 augustus 11
3 planes on 9 - 11 2001 in NY plane-numbers were 77 93 & 11
prince wrote in early 80s ´the time´ song 7 77 93 11 but wait there is more
just playing balls, why?....🤣
Prince EXELENTE 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼un beso 😘 de mi país 🇨🇱 Chile 🇨🇱
Gotta Check out Prince in 1991 Arseno Hall show with Patty Labelle an hour dedicated entirely too the Man Prince
Total genius 👍👍, Prince was The Man, his music will live on forever.
This is one of Prince's funkiest bass lines ever
Kyrie Sampson this one and let’s work bass line is pee-u fonkay!!
Kyrie Sampson AMEN!!! THESE ARE 1 OF MY FAVORITE PRINCE SONGS!!! I would listen 2 this FOR MANY DECADES.💜💖🕊
Kyrie Sampson. If you listen carefully there is no Bass line, just a Guitar and a key board.
Dewayne Coleman Levi Seacer Jr is playing that little snippet of bass in this song.
@@dorothyparker544 It is Prince playing the bass as well as guitar on this track. 🎶❤️
That hair...😍😍😍
ONE person did that. Not a band. Not an orchestra. ONE person. Prince, 28 years old.
Prince, the one man band. Yes!
Incredible
A Legend ABOVE legends....
He was 30 in '88 but yes he was a one man band genius ❤
Who's listening to this in 2020, I LOVE this song..
Wild Rose most night yeah 🤣😂
Yes
YEAH!, YEAH!, YEAAAAAAH!
Me too, and yes, I am watching in 2020
Me too
That first verse gets me every time.
Yup💯✅
His musical output in the 80's was astounding. He was like a conveyor belt giving us one brilliant song after another. He released and album of new material each year with the exception of 1983 only because he was working on the eventual Purple Rain soundtrack and filming the movie. Wow!
@Perverted Alchemist I say early 80's to early 90's he couldn't be touched, when he went all Artist formerly Known as, he lost it musically. Still had some moments when he shone but they were far and few inbetween. Still was a fantastic live act though.
@@stevecheevers7337 He did lose anything musically.. he just decided to explore a wider range of styles.. a lot of which were not commercial .. especially in light of grunge and gangster rap all over the radio
@Tony What's the name of that album???
This album flopped
I can't be the only one who sang the song and continued on with the extended version with Cat's rap.
Niiiiice!
Feels weird listening to it without it
Cat, we need you rap!!!
U R Not Alone😊💜
No, you aren't! I have the extended version on my phone. And love the Hell out of it!
This song is so STRIPPED DOWN and BASIC and STILL SLAYS anything of any era EVER!!!
This episode of Alphabet Street was provided by the letter P. 😂
Toni Wellons lol
😂
Boy, Sesame Street has changed a lot since moving to HBO. lel
I don’t get it
Prince Gold I don’t get it
I wish Prince was still alive 😭
Read in a book about Prince (written and published in the early 90’s) that what showed off the brilliance of Prince was in this song. They claim Prince sings and plays his guitar in one key, while the rest of his band play in a different key, but somehow it all comes together
The kinda shit I argue with my band about
Hands down the most talented cutest man with a perm and heels. And he knew it too!
Prince has a helluva lot of gems on most of his albums. He truly carved his own lane as a musician.
This was the song that introduced me to Prince, I haven’t stopped listening to him since 🤟🏻
Is this favorite song from him?
The percussion & drum arrangements on this record is insane!!! I remember listening for the 1st time wondering wtf is going on here. It still has the same effect. I really love the kick,sooooo effective
So true . He made such brilliant short songs , they were like a journey, just perfect
Those first 12 seconds are everything, that beat 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
This is my favourite slap bassline ever! I love how he leaves space.
🤗 Everytime I hear this song,I smile... No matter what my mood was before the opening chords... I smile.. Thanks Prince..
Same here. Brilliant
Prince was a writer a singer a musician dancer producer. He did it all. Nd you mention of todays artists and they do not compare
so what? as long as you are creative and endresults gives you satisfaction the rest is the ears of other beholders
in principle not important and i´m certain there are plenty plenty people doing it all themselves just like prince
and we don´t know them and will never know them cause they don´t compromise
This is why I love Fridays,we made it to the weekend and we get more Prince music videos! 💜
The Regg yassss!!!😊💜💜💜
I wonder why they've stopped? .... it looks like it's been 2 months since a new vid has been posted ... :,(
I MISS PRINCE SO MUCH
Maria Reyna 😚😚😚☺☺🙄
Girl you are not alone. Wish that amazing man was still around. :(
@@ight3817 same. He died when I was 5
I was fascinated by Prince and I wasn't even 10 years old. So many songs of him have a special meaning for me. Such a great human being❤❤❤
This isn't sesame street lol
Dang, his hair was the business! P love
Saw him twice, he was awesome. The dude was the best.
Prince is so genius.
Prince is killing this bass guitar on this cut. (legendary )
One of the greatest song of all time - Legend Prince
This video is everything . Love them letters falling on him and all the colors .
Such a cutie pie 😘💜💜💜 Love & miss him!
Such a beautiful and talented man!!!!!!💜💜💜I can look and listen to him all day and night......
I can NEVER get enough of Prince. Sweet memories. ❤❤❤
Great song from the late Prince (God rest his soul). I love this song and I loved Prince. He was a very good singer back in his day.
One of my FAVORITE Prince jams!!!
Mine too 🎉
Me 3!
Love anything Prince 💜 Alphabet St. was a masterpiece! Isn’t the same without Prince on this Earth! RIP Prince 1958-2016 😎🎹🎸💜💜💜💜
Prince will always be awesome!
This video makes me smile every time I watch...so super cool! He was so beautiful with that hair blowing and flowing! It's hard adjusting to a world without him in it, but I'm so grateful for the music.
Prince was the truth. He never wrote a song that sucked,, not one. There will never be another Prince
Actually, Prince wrote several songs that sucked, the Under the Cherry Moon soundtrack being one. I also thought his music suffered when he became that symbol.
@@lakebay972” actually…” So, when is Ur stinky music coming out? Never! Ok, then…eat it!!
Prince wrote many, many duff songs. He was wildly inconsistent for much of his career, particularly after the early 90s. However, I'm not convinced that many Prince fans would rate the soundtrack to Under the Cherry Moon - Parade to everyone else - as anything other than amongst his best work. It's not his best album but it might be his most daring, and his most interesting.
@@garethharrison5797 Inconsistent according to who? 🤓
@@Wordsareprayers He was inconsistent. He released dozens of albums and not all of them were great. Even when he was close to his peak, Graffiti Bridge, Diamonds and Pearls and maybe even Symbol - which i really, really like - would all have to be considered a little bit patchy. All contained elite Prince nonetheless and he was still capable of making startling music. He got significantly less compelling in the following years. I love Prince and consider him ro be as good as anyone at his best, but I was replying to someone who said that Prince never made a song that sucked. He did. He made loads of them. Even Prince's biggest fans would surely concede that Prince made more than his fair share of music that was underwhelming. I am not saying anything even vaguely controversial. I'm a big Prince fan for what it's worth.
Sometimes I forget to breath while watching his performances
Susi looks like you forgot how to spell, too.
You too!
@@sleeplessbeauty86 *edits comment lmaoo
Prince:you are and always will be the man!,what a musician!, phenomenal.RIP Prince....
One of my all time favorites from Prince . I loved the shout - out to Tennessee !
That guitar riff??!! Keeps bringing me back!!
Lovesexy needs a deluxe release such an underappreciated album that deserves more recognition
The rhythm is groovy n simply infectious done in true Prince style ✨
This Masterpiece Is So Underrated.
PRINCE ROGERSNELSON Is So SHY&CUTE THOSE DIMPLES Are Very CUTE WHEN HE SMILES 😃 😊 🙂 😀 😄 😁! So SEXY! When HePlays HIS 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸!
I Agree...............
Why Do You Capitalize The First Letter Of Every Word?
sublime
I love the whole CD beginning to end! I understand he was telling a musical story from Eye No - Positivity. Flawless. It's never outdated.
Prince should've released Crystal Ball and then Sign O the Times.
Miss you Prince. May your music live on forever💓
I have had so much fun for the last 2 days listening to and watching Prince perform his music and I've had a total blast and I also got to introduce my children to a lot of his older classics thank you so much for this!!!
💜🌹💯🌹💜
He honestly looks so graceful when he is dancing in heels. (Watch Prince's music video "Theives in the Temple")
This guy is one of the all time greats as a performer and musician. Never in my opinion did he get the respect he deserved.
“Yeah, yeah...YEAH” this is my favorite Prince song and don’t ask me again.
Leefo 3 😂😂😂
mine too
"What's your favorite Prince song?"
PRINCE 🎼 The King.
💜
One of the best albums of the world!!!! Love it to death!!!
This video has that Sesame Street vibe.
Yeah I think Starfish and coffee , maple syrup and jam with breakfast can wait vibe ;)
Never saw the video before now. I always thought he was talking about lower Manhattan. :p
I guess we associate only with what we know.
yes
video has secret messages if you read no where close to sesame
Fresh Price - Parents Just Don't Understand, at the beginning.
This music video was the first of its kind...a purely ingenious creation. P was always ahead of his time. RIP Pretty Man. P love💜
Wembley Arena, 1988: fell in love with Sheila E and the whole damn band. Mind blowing show
One of the first Prince music videos I remember from being little!!
Summer of '88. Good memories.
This that real summer sunshine Beach song
Trop génial ce mec! Félé à point ,un veritable artiste dans toute sa splendeur et sa folie...comme on les aime
Best prince song ever
Prince is the perfect blend of pretty and handsome
When Prince starts dancing at the 2:02 mark, I can picture my mom doing that exact dance which is crazy because she’s been gone since 2012.
One of the greatest artists EVER!!!! WE LOVE YOU PRINCE ❤️🌈
He had his long hair like in the "i wanna be your lover" days in 1979
His outfits were hella cute in this video. He was so snatched. Go 'head on, Unc.
You rock!
My goodness love his hair
finally! was my my favourite Prince song released that year!
Glad to see this again on CZcams! Love this song... so short and sweet and funky!
Always loved this, def in my top 3
Such an awesome catchy, funky-pop tune....it's been stuck in my head all day. LoL!!
Love the guitar groove one of the happiest Songs EVER
Prince was UNIQUE and I mean that in a nice manner. Mercy!
Genius ,,no other words to describe him❤️
He looks gorgeous in this video😍😘❤
It's September 2019 This is still🔥🔥🔥🔥HOT throwback!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 R.I.P. LEGEND
it's mind-blowing how Prince used the bassline of Larry Graham's Mr. Writer to create this song cuz both are two completely different songs and that just shows how much of a GENIUS that Prince really was......
This Song Went To Number 8 On The Billboard Hot-100 Chart In 1988.
Prince, probably the sexiest man ever to grace this world. I ain't gay, but damn he was fine to look at. And as a performer he we just so amazing, i wish i could move that way!
Happy birthday baby Prince 🎊🎊🎁🎁🎁
Thanks Peter , the great man's music will live on long after we have departed
I remember this jam! I used to crank it on my 1987 AIWA Auto-Reverse Boom Box! Fall 1988!! Good Times!
This was the 1st time I realised back in '88 that Prince's eyes were green which reminded me of this boy with green eyes and a massive afro I used to sit next to in primary school who I had the biggest crush on and he never knew. These videos are evoking some strong sweet memories. Thank you 💜🎵
B B yep, in sheila Es book also in Mayte's book they both said P had hazel green eyes.
Been doing some research into eye colour and apparently hazel eyes are rare and unique (that just sums up our Prince). Only 2% of the population have it and usually those that do it's determined by the level of melanin you have AND if you have Caucasian somewhere on BOTH sides of your ancestry. It has nothing to do with skin color. The eye colour can change depending on light and/or reflects off the colour of your clothing. This just leads onto a whole other topic. 'Put the right letters together to make a better day'🎵
Miss him and wonder what songs he would've given us, he was definitely one of a kind 😢😢😢
Classic classic classic Prince
I love this one.
80’s prince was his zenith, I loved his hidden messages from Darling Nikki to the one in this video at 0:26 “DON’T BUY THE BLACK ALBUM I’M SORRY” Classic Prince of that era.
i can never see the hidden message no matter how many times i watch the video. even with your time stamp
@@misterhappy5462You have to watch very carefully. It’s right after the part where Prince disappears as he’s holding a cane. It’s a long vertical text image that appears when it shows Prince playing the guitar. It’s immediately before the Yeah, Yeah, Yeah” appears.
@@lakebay972 wow...FINALLY after how many years of hearing about it i saw it. thank you!
Omg finally after decades of picking this apart thank you i can now see it!!
One of my favorite Prince songs!
Ahhhhhhhhhh princeeeee 😍💜 rip baby I love your music videos so much thank you times infinity
Perfection.
Prince lo mejor exelente su musica y su voz👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼un beso😘 de mi país 🇨🇱 Chile 🇨🇱
This makes me happy as the world 🔥. Takes me right back to wonderful times
One of my favorite Prince tracks
Probably my favorite Prince song
Every day Prince sing very good
many thanks to you for sharing this - made a day better and what a genius he was - much missed
Yet another classic from Prince. So on fire in the 80's he could make a bad commercial jingle sound great and express it to #1 !!
