I'm a grown ass man but when I watch Prince perform Purple Rain he touches my very soul my core. It' safe to say there'll never be another Prince!!! REST IN PEACE ....
This is the one song of his that was so hard for me to listen to for at least 2 years after he had transitioned. Even my mom, who's in her 90s, heard a snippet one day and said it's hard to believe he's gone. I really miss him. 😢💜💜💜
I saw the movie on Monday, January 21st, 1985. I was able to keep my cool all the way up until Billy Sparks nodded. As slight a gesture as it was, my eyes got moist.
I swear his solo in purple rain during the Super Bowl made me a lifelong fan. I’d known who he was but I was so little but I understood what it was even then what it meant to pour the contents of your heart out all over the floor lol
@@Schwansonian_TownsonianI kinda thought so too. Then I looked closer and realized she already looked emotional when he approached her. And when he kissed her, the face she made was her about to start crying.
I’ve met a lot of guitarists who had nothing but disregard for Prince, till they tried to play ‘Purple Rain’ themselves. They now have nothing but respect for the guy.
My mama's favorite song she died December 23rd of 23 I would give my left one just to hear her crank the volume to the max and jam out to this one more time
My mom too LOL I!! My family was tragically struck by a drunk driver on the 4th of July in 1984 when this album came out. I remember my mom had it on repeat. It helps her cope with the loss of my oldest sister who remains in a coma for 23 years. I Thank God for Prince everyday. He helped her get through it with his beautiful song"🙏🏼🌹 Sending hugs 💕
I know how you feel! 😢 I kid you not I be leave my mom saw this in the theater around 30 time. After a while she would fall sleep a quarter of the way in and wake up right before this song. Miss her deeply.
@@Sekou-yr2rrit was. He did it when they played Purple Rain for the first time in public (also Wendy's first concert) and surprised her. Then he totaly surprised her again doing it again for the movie. Adorable. In the movie storyline it's even more adorable because he got it first from Appolonia and then when he starts valuing his band more he uses the same gesture of affection for Wendy because she's kinda his best friend. And am I the only one that noticed that before he dissapears off the stage, he touches Wendy's shoulder for one last time. That was so heartbreakingly sweet.💜
I know it's 2024 but prince is my favorite artist even though I'm 15 now but his songs are too good this generation will never understand idk if they will.😢
I wish there was a prequel to Purple Rain that explores the backstory of the father Francis L, who seemed to be a prodigious but tormented musician, whose underachievement becomes the backdrop to his treatment of his wife and ultimately, The Kid.
Those sing-screams toward the end are just kinda the perfect mix of pain-expressing and soothing. Like actually facing the buried trauma hurts, but letting the pain out feels good in some way. And his shirt getting unbottened like a wound opening on his chest and getting cleaned out of all the pain he's letting from his poor heart is just soo symbolic.
It’s sad when someone who has been a part of creating so many memories becomes a memory themself. Prince has been the soundtrack to my life and I feel so lucky to have seen him live.
You would have loved it, it was the best Era ever. best Era for movies and music the culture was just rich and full of imagination and creativity that you just don't see anymore, fantastic time to be alive I'm grateful I experienced it!
During concerts, the incomparable Wendy Melvoin would start playing these immortal riffs for a very long time before Prince walked on stage. All alone on the stage...holding tens of thousands in the palm of her hand...and she was FUCKING 18!!!!! Prince was a genius, but without The Revolution, there was diminishment.
Wish we all were back in the 80s these kids today might have a chance unless we get back to good old music and please bring back muchmusic n mtv pretty sure that helped so many kids,i know it helped me,whenever i felt down put mtv on,sorry youtube aint the same it was more personal with the vjs and waiting for your fav video?
I wonder how many times my friends and I watched this movie 💜. I graduated HS in 1985, but I had been a Prince FANATIC since I was in 9th grade from I wanna be your lover, dirty mind and his other early songs. We played those cassettes so many times that the writing rubbed off and you had to pop them into the tape deck to figure out which was which. RIP Purple One 💜 We won’t ever stop listening!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I did see it. He had everyone in the audience crying with lighters lit while he played the guitar solo with the strings illuminating as he played. Unforgettable.... ❤❤❤❤
I REMEMBER GOING TO HIS PURPLE RAIN TOUR IN 1985. THE VIBES WERE REDICULOUS. I ESPECIALLY REMEBER HE GOT INTO A PURPLE TUB AND ASKED THE AUDIANCE TO JOIN HIM! THE WOMEN LOST THEIR DAMN MINDS!! LOL...
He made guitars scream and people cry. I am so absolutely BLESSED to see him from the beginning in the late 70s. This man is my heart, my life, my soul, my soundtrack. 💔
It was intoxicating in concert! He could make your head rush and spin with his playing! I saw him in the Worcester Centrum in 85’. I brought a van full of girls and they paid for everything! It was a brilliant show and a great time tailgating in the ledges or the parking lot. What a terrible loss losing him! 🤟😎
The most electrifying musician of all time. Played numerous instruments and his songwriting was unparalleled and second to none. As a songwriter and musician I always give credit where it is due and this whether you like him or not was and will be greatest of all time. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world and giving people something to think about in your lyrics. The bar he set was so high nobody needs to try to top it, it’s impossible
I was 15 years old when Purple Rain came out and it was the first record LP I ever bought. I'm 54 now and I think I've played this song at least once a week ALL MY LIFE....and still I'm crying every time I hear it 😢. Greatest song ever made! Love Prince 💜
I cry EVERYTIME i hear this song. In my opinion this song and performance is the best in the world. You can see in his face and body language telling the story. Can't wait to see him again!!
I remember when this movie Purple Rain came out.Everyone was talking about it .But, The best part is when Prince came on stage and song the Purple Rain song .Who didn't cry.He had everyone waving there hands back and forth in the air under the purple light.💜🌂💜🌂💜🌂Purple Rain.
There's a video on youtube i used to watch a lot playing a rendition of "while my guitar gently weeps" He's next to legends and blows the whole stage away
I was lucky enough to catch the film at a local theater recently. Hands down, this scene and the ones leading up to it were the most powerful. The faces of the audience members in the film are exactly how I felt in that theater.
He was never given Enough credit for his guitar skills! An absolute master on the guitar, as well as the rest of the instruments.
@@User_491jx6f Lets not get too crazy. Great guitar player but not in the top 100
His guitar skills..
That Solo on when my guitar gently weeps. He walked on, played the shit out of the Solo. Walked out
Yes
He was a tremendously epic guitarist!!
Legend!!
@@ginopadula8171 Not in the Top 100?!? That’s a joke!! Name 100 + guitarists that were better!
Yes he was. Prince was always a badass on guitar.
When Eric Clapton was asked, "What's it like to be the best guitar player in the world?"
He answered: "I don't know. Ask Prince."
Wow!!!
Now, that’s amazing!
💜☔👑
Prince refused to bow 🤟 🕊️☔💜👑
Wow for real???? Just wow
I'm a grown ass man but when I watch Prince perform Purple Rain he touches my very soul my core. It' safe to say there'll never be another Prince!!! REST IN PEACE ....
The music of my youth, hits my heart
This is the one song of his that was so hard for me to listen to for at least 2 years after he had transitioned. Even my mom, who's in her 90s, heard a snippet one day and said it's hard to believe he's gone. I really miss him. 😢💜💜💜
I saw the movie on Monday, January 21st, 1985. I was able to keep my cool all the way up until Billy Sparks nodded. As slight a gesture as it was, my eyes got moist.
When Billy Sparks nodded his head I smiled is he still alive?
I agree about he wasn't recognized enough for how he played his guitar. He's incredible! Who's listening 🎶 👀 in 2024?
I am
I'm 55 and remember well how they talked about his musucal talent including the guitar. I remember getting credit for it from the start.
He was the unicorn of musicians.
I introduced my teenage boys to Prince and they were like “Whoa! Why aren’t we listening to this now?”
Exactly.
I've been listening every year since the 90s.
Maybe since the womb in the 80s 🤘
I swear his solo in purple rain during the Super Bowl made me a lifelong fan. I’d known who he was but I was so little but I understood what it was even then what it meant to pour the contents of your heart out all over the floor lol
The most powerful song ever written in my humble opinion. Rip Prince 🙏
Along with Marvin Gaye’s ‘What’s Going On’, I totally agree with you
I cant ever watch this scene without crying, and when he kisses her, im crying like a waterfall. It was like Prince was saying "Thank You" ❤ BEAUTIFUL
Same. But she did not seem happy about it at all, and looked repulsed.
@@Schwansonian_TownsonianI kinda thought so too. Then I looked closer and realized she already looked emotional when he approached her. And when he kissed her, the face she made was her about to start crying.
She is an open lesbian almost all her life, she felt uncomfortable and weird, besides, she always had creative altercations with Prince.
Me too 😢 Prince I miss you
Yeah, I love that. And I always cry like the idiot I am.
I’ve met a lot of guitarists who had nothing but disregard for Prince, till they tried to play ‘Purple Rain’ themselves. They now have nothing but respect for the guy.
They don't write songs like this anymore. Radio wouldn't play it if they did. I grew up at the perfect time and place.
This man's music healed me at 16.... I remember the day he died. I can feel him today.. 💜💜💜 Make it rain
When his voice rings out at 5:24 I get chills down my spine. Everyone talks about Prince's guitar but his voice was really something else!
I cried while also getting chills down my spine
Same thing happens to me when he does that too the man was a music Genius so glad I'm from Minnesota ❤. .
Prince has a 5 and a half octaves range voice... His voice is absolutely extraordinary
No wonder this won the Oscar for best song from a film.
One of the greatest movies scenes ever plus the extras in the crowd got to basically get to see a free concert while filming this scene !!!
This song is a masterpiece i have goosebumps a worldclass performance Prince is a legend👍
Me too ❤ and chills on my spine
Prince and Michael Jackson…The 80’s had it all. Wish I could’ve been around for it.
It was something else, I saw Michaels full transformation from the Jackson 5 to the King of Pop. Prince was always Prince, a true one-off.
I say this every day man..I Just turned 25.
@@EJHayes-qo4qi i was a kid in the 80s and yes it was an awesome time
I was and I am still here
Everything suffers from the spotlight of nostalgia. I grew up in the 1980s and it had many problems.
My mama's favorite song she died December 23rd of 23 I would give my left one just to hear her crank the volume to the max and jam out to this one more time
To je smutné, příteli. Nezoufejte. Přeji vám vše dobré. Ondřej
Bless you. ❤❤❤❤
So sorry 😢
She's in a better place be sure of that..be strong it's life everyone will go it's not easy but have to accept that fact
My mom too LOL I!!
My family was tragically struck by a drunk driver on the 4th of July in 1984 when this album came out.
I remember my mom had it on repeat.
It helps her cope with the loss of my oldest sister who remains in a coma for 23 years.
I Thank God for Prince everyday.
He helped her get through it with his beautiful song"🙏🏼🌹
Sending hugs 💕
R I P Prince ,Thank you for the music 🎶😢😪
❤❤❤❤❤ Era un Genio
No murio, sigue vivo en su obra❤
😢
He was overwhelmingly talented
One of the best songs and artists that I will hear in my lifetime ❤
Can't listen to this without crying. I miss my mom.
I know how you feel! 😢 I kid you not I be leave my mom saw this in the theater around 30 time. After a while she would fall sleep a quarter of the way in and wake up right before this song. Miss her deeply.
I feel sorry for both of you! Losing a parent hurts like no other pain.
The genius of Mozart.
The virtuoso of Jimi Hendrix.
The work ethic of James Brown.
The showmanship of Little Richard.
The versatility of David Bowie.
pretty much
I also hear shades of Carlos Santana in him.
I also see a little of Freddy Mercury in him. I dont know,i just see it
@@IAmTheSenate218 i feel you, i also want to imagine freddy mercury and prince jamming with their guitars up in heaven right now❤
That’s about right
Perfection 👍 the best part is when he kisses Wendy on the cheek.
Might even have been unscripted
@@Sekou-yr2rrit was. He did it when they played Purple Rain for the first time in public (also Wendy's first concert) and surprised her.

Her sour-face reaction is priceless .... then she reprised that reaction when he kissed her during the 'Kiss' video .....
lol noooo it's not .... @jameslatta6813
I know it's 2024 but prince is my favorite artist even though I'm 15 now but his songs are too good this generation will never understand idk if they will.😢
Listen to Elvis, you'll never be the same! I love them both!
@angiebaranovich716 thank you
Hey there bro it’s 2025 now how the hell did it go so fast I am losing my mind here
I miss him too 😢
Listen to his Artist and really enjoy his talents babe! Morris Day & his band, Family (Screams Of Passion)
Jesse Johnson and you can Google more.
I wish there was a prequel to Purple Rain that explores the backstory of the father Francis L, who seemed to be a prodigious but tormented musician, whose underachievement becomes the backdrop to his treatment of his wife and ultimately, The Kid.
I’d like to see that
Those sing-screams toward the end are just kinda the perfect mix of pain-expressing and soothing. Like actually facing the buried trauma hurts, but letting the pain out feels good in some way. And his shirt getting unbottened like a wound opening on his chest and getting cleaned out of all the pain he's letting from his poor heart is just soo symbolic.
Barely surprised with the way his father was with his mother.. he had a shit upbringing
Beautiful
You're a writer. If not, you should write. Very inquisitive
There's nothing this man couldn't do - music legend
not die
@@crinklediaper weirdo.
@@crinklediaperhappens to all of us buddy.
It’s sad when someone who has been a part of creating so many memories becomes a memory themself.
Prince has been the soundtrack to my life and I feel so lucky to have seen him live.
Most people don’t know, this man could play EVERY instrument in the ORCESTRA…… Nuff Said!!!
I wish i coulda experienced the 80s
find your friends, get the beer and smokes, turn your phones off, play the music loud... you're welcome
I only experienced a little bit of the 80s, unfortunately. I wish I could have experienced it all, including this.
It was awesome. So were the 90's.
You would have loved it, it was the best Era ever. best Era for movies and music the culture was just rich and full of imagination and creativity that you just don't see anymore, fantastic time to be alive I'm grateful I experienced it!
He was a true lyricist, and musician. So many instruments. Died way to soon. So much friggen talent in one man.😔
Probably one of the most talented musicians ever. Prince could write, play, he could do it all. Multiple instrument player. Rip.
Genius. Exceptional. Majestic. Magical.
He most definitely was a Gem 💎
During concerts, the incomparable Wendy Melvoin would start playing these immortal riffs for a very long time before Prince walked on stage. All alone on the stage...holding tens of thousands in the palm of her hand...and she was FUCKING 18!!!!! Prince was a genius, but without The Revolution, there was diminishment.
One of thee Greatest songs ever!! Sounds better 40 years later!! Rip... 👍✌️
Our beloved Prince is forever alive in our hearts
Can help but sing along everytime.. lol and remembering a time in life when everything was better.
Purple Rain. Prince's gift to us. He is now where Angels sing.
Well said.

Musician! Singer! Guitarist! What else?? Thanks for all !! RIP
Great Dancer! No one imagine anyone who mixed dance styles of Michael Jackson and James Brown together, and still add their own originality to it.
Dancer too⭐️
R.I.P Prince. This song makes me want to cry. Thank you for your music and the Super Bowl
That guitar solar was absolute master class!Still the very best.
He was a natural. All time favorite song. It’s beyond incredible and I love him giving Wendy a kiss towards the end of it.
Best Super Bowl Half-time ever!!!🎶
Number 1 favorite movie of all time this scene makes me tear up every time
This song hits so much different now. R.I.P. to the Absolute GOAT!
5:24 I know being an extra was lit that day of filming, possibly the most serenading paycheck ever documented.
Wish we all were back in the 80s these kids today might have a chance unless we get back to good old music and please bring back muchmusic n mtv pretty sure that helped so many kids,i know it helped me,whenever i felt down put mtv on,sorry youtube aint the same it was more personal with the vjs and waiting for your fav video?

Thank you prince for being you. Your music and all you did for the music industry. Rip

@@NeulichimKanal couldn't give a fuck if you do 🤣
PURPLE RAIN
Great Album
Awesome Movie
Thank You Roger Nelson/Prince 🎸
how come the guy in the sunglasses finally approving prince hasn't become a meme yet?
Legendary performance!
He had it all.
Visuals, check.
Stage presence, check.
Guitar skills, check.
Vocals.....umm yea!
Never will forget him.

I love the song with all my heart ❤ Rip PRINCE

What a loss to this world when he died. Rest in peace Prince you are sorely missed. ❤
It’s been 8 years! 😢 miss you good sir!
It was intoxicating in concert! He could make your head rush and spin with his playing!
I saw him in the Worcester Centrum in 85’. I brought a van full of girls and they paid for everything!
It was a brilliant show and a great time tailgating in the ledges or the parking lot.
What a terrible loss losing him! 🤟😎

Prince has always and still. Is one of my faves and I listen all the time!!!

I have no words👏👏👏💜💜💜

7 years later and it just now hits me. He was supposed to live forever, god damnit!! Still a household name
Literally, no one agrees, but how did this not win the best original soundtrack.
No phone in any hands, nothing, just feeling...
2:42 I love how his voice is ❤❤❤
