- Wendy Melvoin (Prince and the Revolution) and Princess (Maya Rudolph & Gretchen Lieberum) perform Purple Rain at the Teragram Ballroom, Los Angeles, CA, on 4/20/2019, captured by Pam Gantt
Thank you Wendy, for keeping Prince's genius alive. Hard to believe it's been 8 years since he left us
Wendy was Prince's spirit animal. She truly helped push Prince's 80's popularity. Wendy is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. She and Lisa have penned some of the most popular TV and movie scores. I wish she would get more recognition but I do know I love her and I guess that's enough.
Huh?
@@rickstraws92 Wendy the girl that wrote the guitar chord progression for Purple Rain. It's basically her song. Prince added his singing and lyrics but the song is her creation.
@@TheAgentAssassin lmao 😂 you’re joking right?
Dude prince without the revolution still was on the charts 😂
Lol you're stupid.
At 18 years of age she wrote one of the most iconic guitar parts in rock history. Amazing.
she did not write it prince did but she arranged it nicely, ofc she is iconic and does not belong to this gen of iphone zombies, she is real musician.
@@michelleper5065 Prince wrote the song, but WENDY, came up with that guitar intro
@@VioletFlameMusic she arranged it too to some degree by creating this intro, this is the song heart
@@michelleper5065 Most definitely, a strong part of the arrangement. Her part added a depth and beauty to this song. And yes, she is iconic. She's one of my favorite musicians on this planet

Wendy is a legend. A highly underrated musician, I'm sure prince is proud of her
Arguably, the greatest rock song of all time.
If "The Purple One" had a signature song it was Purple Rain? Never a dry eye in my house whenever that song is played now; either the original or a cover. And no one covers it more perfectly and wonderfully than the woman who helped write & create it: the beautiful, talented, Wendy Melvoin.
Thank God for Wendy and Lisa🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Absolutely an example of the best written, best musicianship, best produced music ever. If you don't know Wendy & Lisa they are of Prince fame, under their name. Absolutely some of the best rock to be published, they are Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman. I simply cannot say enough about the immense song writing and musicianship of this duo. They went into music for film and television and have won an Emmy Award, I think because they were never properly promoted by their label. If you want to hear some of the most simply beautiful music ever to be recorded.
She is flawless with this song on the guitar
It feels like the torch has been passed. This was not The Revolution. This is Wendy. She is now thee person, to play Purple Rain. Her solo is on point. No one will ever be as great as Prince, but I sure am glad there's a Little Girl Wendy.
Yep, plug Wendy excels at clean more dreamy styles of finger picking, chordal voicings rhythm which is a great overlooked skill. Prince was more of a soloist but wendy often times brought different influences, heavy joni mitchell chord voicings against princes more bluesy, rock, jazzy oriented stylings
Wendy lives to tell the tale, she's amazing and has always been 💜
*disagreed. After all these years you think she played at solo every bit as good as he would play it. Nevertheless I'm glad that she's able to do what she loves to do enjoy this life's experience.*
@@zonasound reminds me of Andy Summers in The Police. Same haunting kind of chords. One of a kind.
@@zonasound ..Prince wasn’t more of a soloist,his rhythm playing was as good as anyone’s...and his creativity was undeniable.
Although it’s great he allowed his bandmembers to add their approach from time to time,it’s evident he could do it all...you can hear that on his very first record,along with the first record by The Time.
He played all the instruments on both those studio albums. His ability to chord was definitely strong.
Kudos to Wendy to be able to do what she did at 18 though.
Far out. New appreciation for a timeless anthem.❤
That video was surprisingly emotional for me. I loved Prince, but there are also some incredibly nostalgic memories attached to that song. Nothing actually specific, but more the feelings attached to that era and time if my life. Almost a Anthem.
As a high school sophomore into metal ,punk, and what became known as post-punk, "Purple Rain" fucking blew my mind. Instant Prince fan. Dug up Controversy and 1999 *immediately*
...I read a bid of their story with Prince. ❤
Well put,bullseye!!!
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this song brings tears to my eyes
I never get tired of this song......A classic that will go on for a long time!
When this comes on the radio when I drive, I have to stop, when I walk, I have to stop, and just soak it up, and it still brings tears to my eyes. I love this song,
Wendy you are truly a legend!!!!
they did a wonderful job i really miss prince
Wendy made me want to play guitar. I had other influences, that had an impact but Wendy had the initial one. I wanted to play as good as her. I'm a guy and I still can't hold a candle to her. She's a beast.
Absolutely love Wendy and all of the Revolution!!!!! This band also did an excellent job!!!
Time flies and Wendy your still the best inside and out. Play your heart off. Wish I knew how to play guitar 🎸 👊🏽😁. Prince where ever you are in heaven love ya man 🙏🏼
I was going through my teens in Ireland when that exploded into the world. Brought a tear to my eye watching this. Thank you.
This is one of those songs where time and the events in your life gets set to. "Layla" is another one. The tears flow from the memories.
Wendy = Awesome. Humble, so talented, thoughtful and just amazing. Thrilled to learn that Maya Rudolph is in a band!
I think if I saw both Wendy *and* Maya on the same stage I'd have a heart attack - and die a very happy man. 💜
Thankyou Wendy You Where Awesome ❤
R.I.P. Prince 1958 2016
Ha nice! I've always wanted to hear Wendy sing that song.
Wendy plays the hell out a guitar...
THEEE best rendition of that song besides the original. I guess having one of the architects there made it special. Wow, that was really good.
Minne Ripperton lives.
Her tone is amazing
Amazing video!!! I was 18 when this album and movie came out. Memories....
So u r the same age as Wendy then
@@abufaris224 Yes
Good to see that Wendy still has it. It’s been quite a while since that movie came out. I remember watching it.
One of the greatest ending to a song!
Thank you thank you thank you. 💜💜💜💜💜💜😭😭😭😭😭
Genius Wendy , nuff said
I wish Wendy would have just done the song by herself w/o others singing with her.
This is an iconic moment.
I leave it to the person to know how they want to present the song when they sing it. If they want to do it this way, I'm just happy it got done.
I agree
Living legend right here folks
Absolutely beautiful!
😊😍❤👍
Well done Wendy!
Wendy did a great a job. Especially muscle memory gotta be a factor. To go from playing your iconic part, to doing solo guitar where your part isn't there to help keep rhythm.... people might not understand how great that is.
Can’t ever let the music stop !!! Love it !!!
Wendy, i love you and Lisa too 4 -ever!
very emotive, fab stuff, serious guitar player
RIP. PRINCE!!!!!!
May we be blessed with an Up beat version; rejoicing redemption 🙏
i41 am glad she turned the delay off.
funny now this song hits her different than how it was in the movie. it was really hard watching her do this back in 2016 after his death.
What a performance
i don't know why but this really make me tear up. its just so beautiful.
I have anxiety and get stressed a lot and have hard time to focus on things but this song is always make me clam
Because it’s a spiritual song .spiritual goes beyond the physical and emotional element. About connecting to God. What you feel is spiritual whether you Believe in God or not.
GREAT LEAD!!!!! ALOT LIKE PRINCE ORIGINAL!
Prince was the only artist that could make is Guitar sing .True show man with incredible natural talent . He’s deeply missed 💗
Like a god , of the electric guitar ⚡ 🎸 purple rain 🌧️☔ can touch your soul
It was amazing 🤩☺️
this song is good and i hadwatch the movie to a long time ago
I love the effects on the guitar, but remember those effects must be played just like an instrument, and she does this!
Than you Wendy
Strong Feels.
Major feels.
It was 18?, it was I’m 9 too😝
I miss him😢, n I like he loves japan made Mad Cat guitar,
N now she play😊
Huge kiss from 🇯🇵
Thx rec n uploading this video btw😉
Hired Hands Can Become Rock ICONS like Her!
懐かしく切ない氣持ちに・・・
He's legacy well lived on prince
So cool
Sheila E is awesome!!
Awesome
Meravigliosa
😭Play Wendy Play💜
Thats a hohner guitar which is not a very expensive guitar but a good...very good guitar. Unfortunately Hohner doesnt make guitars anymore. Wendys 2 purple rickenbacker guitars got stolen....and she wants her babies back. So any intenet sleuths...eat your heart out. Much respect for this dame..
OLIVIA. ❤❤❤
SUPER !!!👍👍👍👍👍👍 КЛАСС !!!
❤❤❤❤😢
It's missing the base tones and Dr Fink and drums Bobby Z
As great as she played that solo there’s only one Prince.
The one Prince goes well with the one Wendy together. Didn't you see the movie or concerts? Some Next Level stuff as always and forever
Isn't Wendy the creator of this riff?
@@frankdsilva5593 riff yes. But I was talking about the solo.
💖🤩🥰💖
The best music was by prince
"chord" ARRANGEMENT makes the TRACK RELEVANT. " Don't want your money," lyrical (( out)) edit resonate as most authentic.
really just one of the most sadly beautiful songs in music history, especially now. And compare this to the junk they call music now.
What a great guitar part. Wendy is an icon. Scratch that echo pedal at the start and check the intonation and we're in Princeland....
Gods forbid she does it her own way.
of course the song has special meaning now that the man is gone. I STILL think it's based on the Jimi Hendrix classic "Little Wing".
I feel sad that prince isn't there to perform with them😢
That's somethin.
Folks forget it was always Wendy that played the shit live.
Prince
She actually came up with most of the phrasing too. Prince wrote it on the piano
I always wondered if Maya Rudolph could sing.
She comes from musically gifted parents.
Minnie Ripperton
And Richard Rudolph.
i hate the radio station edit where they always chop off the end guitar soloing. its the best part.
Ha! I thought Maya was Lisa when she came onstage. lol
Not sure if a complete original of this early version of Purple Rain exists, but you can see and hear Wendy's 1983 First Avenue intro here:
ua-cam.com/video/mn7NpvHp0NY/v-deo.html
She looks around bewildered and amused just after 50:18 wondering if Prince is coming out. It only felt like 10 minutes to an 18 year-old Wendy ;).
Anybody kind enough to name the stage lineups? Was that really Sheila E on drums? Who's that girl with the peak cap? Thanks in advance
🙏🌟🔥💯💥👍👌🌟🌟🌟
Prince's best band members were women. An he knew that which explains 3rd eye girl👑💜🎸💪🏾💃🏽☔️
everyone looks tall next to Prince.

Was Michael Jackson really the king of pop? I think Prince's music had more complexity. Yes, MJ was great but as famous and great as Prince was I think he is greatly underrated when considered next to MJ and other greats. His talent, his skill, his soul, his originality, he was light years ahead.
Prince was funk instead of pop.
Ummm yes he was, Michael that is. Now go wash your filthy little mouth and stop trying to compare the two
My question is that Princes ole telecaster Wendy is slinging
Wat is het nummer veel minder zonder de zang van Prince. Zo merk je pas hoe uniek hij was.
Always thought Waterfall was a better song
Remember Warner bros killed prince now now 2022 now Warner own his masters
Turn that delay sens way down to tempo girl, what are you doing?
She’s nice, but she’s not the Purple ONE 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
tell me what type of phone you have so I never buy one. horrible focus
There's always that one screaming lesbian in the audience 😂
I don't understand how Wendy can memorialize such a heterosupremacist?
Che schifo d cover
VOX QUALITY CONTROLS, how is that p.r.n. bypassed " the hood" and formed a band where only he sings.
