NA wah oh.....you really know the man
I grew up with his music in 80s… I remembered when he used to come to Uptown Theatre in Chicago and he outgrew Uptow to Chicago Theatre to United Center. He used to be called THE ROYAL BADNESS then because of his kinky and outrageous dressing and behavior. He was a very special talent who can play all musical instruments and write, compose ,produce his music. A world class musical genius. RIP PRINCE ROGER NELSON. The musical world will surely miss you.

What he did with that guitar? Mesmerizing. An unforgettable performance. True Genius has indeed left us.
He outplayed living legends on that stage

Guitar kings.

Prince was inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. There was a tribute to the Beatles' George Harrison at that same ceremony and some of the greatest guitarists came on stage to perform While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Prince stole the show.

On stage: Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lyne, PRINCE, etc.

Prince performs Purple Rain at an awards ceremony. His stagecraft was simply fantastic. (That's Luther Vandross and Aretha Franklin at the beginning of the video).

There's been a general amnesty and Prince videos have been released from the YouTube jail.

Prince did not want his songs to be on YouTube and other popular internet streaming sites because he believed that people should pay to listen to the songs that he worked so hard to compose. He also believed that the quality of the videos were poor and he did not want his work to be exhibited in that manner. He sued YouTube and other internet sites to get them to take down his songs and prevent users from uploading them. Many videos of Prince's songs were muted by YouTube (It was so bad that you couldn't even listen to cover versions of his songs, eg Ginuwine's version of When Doves Cry was also muted).

All that has changed now. Yesterday night I discovered that the videos have been released from YouTube's jail.

Could you be,
The most beautiful girl in the world?
It's plain to see,
You're the reason why God made a girl.


Prince's tribute to women (you also get to hear his amazing vocal range, from that very high pitch voice to the deep low sound).

Sign O' The Times (the original video).

The audio quality isn't perfect (it sounds like it was ripped from a VHS cassette, but it's better than nothing).

Its really sad that everything he fought for during his life went to waste after he died. . . Prince. . . the man who changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol for 12 years just to get his way. . . I have all his 30+ albums listen to him a lot. . . my favorite is his debut album, then followed by the purple rain album. . . I was devastated when he went. . . I dunno how I stumbled across this thread, but I'm surprised to see people here listen to him too. . . I've never encountered a Prince fan as big as me irl here in Nigeria

Prince was not just an artist but a magican with the guitar, naptu are you in the music industry? You have a broad taste & history on music.
