      At one point in 1984, Prince simultaneously had the No. 1 album, single, and film in the US; it was the first time a singer had achieved this feat. No music star will ever beat that feat. Even Michael Jackson never accomplished that. Purple Rain was an "Event" in my country.

    Prince wrote this song at 18-19 years old, it was a demo. He wrote "I feel for you" and "I wanna be your lover" for a female artist Patrice Rushen. She turned them both down. Rushen did go on to have a hit of her own "forget me nots." This is why those two songs sound like they could be sung by women. I feel for you was covered by multiple female artist a few years after Prince did the songs himself in 1978-79. Rushen missed out. R&b still had a bluesy feel to it at the time. The young Prince set the tone for the future of R&B and was a major influence in pop music.

    I ain't like those other guys you hang around
    And it's kinda funny
    But they always seem to let you down
    And I get discouraged, mmm
    'Cause I never see you anymore
    And I need your love, babe
    That's all I'm living for, yeah
    I didn't wanna pressure you, baby
    But all I ever wanted to do
    I wanna be your lover
    I wanna be the only one that makes you come running
    I wanna be your lover
    I wanna turn you on, turn you out
    All night long, make you shout
    Oh, lover, yeah
    I wanna be the only one you come for
    I wanna be your brother
    I wanna be your mother and your sister, too
    There ain't no other
    That can do the things that I'll do to you
    And I get discouraged
    'Cause you treat me just like a child
    And they say I'm so shy, yeah
    But with you I just go wild, woo-hoo-hoo
    I didn't wanna pressure you, baby, no
    But all I ever wanted to do
    I wanna be your lover
    I wanna be the only one that makes you come running
    I wanna be your lover
    I wanna turn you on, turn you out
    All night long, make you shout
    Oh, lover, yeah

      That's funny because I remember watching this as a youngster (7) when it first came out in1979. He really left an impression on me his look his singing and the way he carried himself. He pretty much slipped out of the picture for me until I saw him one night with the "Little Red Corvette" video. I was like oh I remember that guy. Three albums later I rediscovered him having no idea he was still around....no surprise though "Dirty Mind" and "Controversy" were not kid friendly

    .. Prince was a teenager when his first couple of albums were composed, produced, arranged and preformed alone.. I know that the thumbs down people didnt/couldnt make a single hit. ANY REAL musician would respect that Prince did all the work and mastered countless instruments. More than likely they have only dabbled in one instrument or they would know that being a multi instrumentalist isnt easy. I cant really understand any other reason for a thumbs down. He is the most PROLIFIC writer in history.. Prince broke the genre lines and is a genre of his own. That should be praised by any real musician.

    PRINCE played ALL the instrumenrs on his first 5 albums: For You, Prince,, Dirty Mind, Controversey & 1999. His band was only for touring & stage. Every song he wrote, he'd record it first doing all the vocals & instruments except if there was a solo. He'd leave that part open then the artist would go back & follow him. That came from Susan Rogers. Also, the character Morris was a combo. Of PRINCE & Morris Day clowning around and in the studio PRINCE would talk & behave like the Morris character while he (Prince) was recording! The only thing he loved more than making others laugh is others making him laugh.

      Most of my fav artists like Tame Impala and Mac Demarco do the same. That authenticity of the artist... I know Pumped Up Kicks was fully made by the lead singer. Is there a name for an artist that records all their music solo but that has a consistent band? I guess just an artist, no idea.

    I admire this man so much!! He wrote , produced and played every instrument in this video ..All him...his way ... Prince NEVER got the acknowledgement and appreciation he deserved, I feel! He was so talented and brilliant....and One of the BEST , if not THE best guitarist that ever lived!!! So happy I got the pleasure of seeing him perform twice!!! He gave us some awesome music ,so appreciative of it all! RIP PRINCE...WE WILL FOREVER LOVE AND MISS YOU !!

      First of all.. where have you been living... under a rock??
      Prince won praise and acclaim in spite of his being light skin negro male.
      He was never anyone puppet like those in the black pressure Media gallery!
      And at risk if sounding like a nut Prince R "death" is a lie because Minnesota is in the process of a takeover by illiberal govt employees.
      The following Prince R Nelson has is nothing like what any televangelist has ever had!
      And prince Nelson has GGPs out of Denmark and Norway.
      Darker color nigroes are so ugggly 😝. And his grandson look so much cuter than prince did age 10 . Picture of Prince R Nelson in elementary school guy is ugggly because the camera is darker so that caucasian look tan!

      Prince has so many rap type bars its absolutely fascinating to me. I'm only 31 but my Dad played a ton of Prince and recently passed so I've been digging up memories. I always liked Prince but now I'm starting to see how hes probably one of the best artists to ever exist.
