      @@Great-Documentaries Yeah, I gotta agree, "Batdance" is one of the worst things he ever recorded. The music video is really fun, and that guitar solo _is_ super badass, but that's about it. The rest of it is a mess, and honestly the "song" doesn't really work without the music video, which is never a good thing. It's barely even a song, more like a weird DJ mashup of the rest of the songs on the album. I'd only recommend it because it's probably the most fun music video Prince ever did and for the guitar solo, but otherwise if they're gonna do something from "Batman", I'd recommend "Partyman" as a better option.

    Prince's breakthrough song from 1979, and it's disco! (That's why the hair was more natural and he seemed subdued to y'all - it was still the seventies and he hadn't yet created his eighties persona.) This short version was the one we heard on the radio at the time, but there's also what they called a "disco version," what would be called a club version today probably, that was longer and had some great additional keyboard work. I love this disco era Prince, but my favorite Prince song is a 1981 hit called "Controversy," which was heavy funk.

      Prince could definitely steal your girl. I'm about as strait they come, or I guess the term is 'Cis' now. Whichever...I'm a man who likes women, and I think Prince was sexy. If he stole my girl, I believe my attitude would be: "Well, i would leave me for Prince too."
      I think Bob Catz is correct at about 5'4". I literally bumped into him in the casino at the MGM Grand in Vegas once. I was so star struck; I went through an emotional roller coaster ride; I wanted to tell him how much I loved his work, how he changed my life, etc., etc. But He looked tired, he was wearing sweats and carrying a duffle, and sweating pretty hard. So out of the deepest respect for one of my heroes, I did the most difficult thing, and stepped aside so he could pass without uttering any of the things that wanted to come gushing out of me.

    Most don’t know Prince played ALL the instruments on his first 5 albums! The Revolution was hired by him to be his touring band. They didn’t have an official name until Purple Rain. Dr. Fink said their name was still an idea on the 1999 album as it’s written backwards inside the football on the album cover. **His studio engineer Susan Rogers just this year spoke out about how Prince did it all. He wrote the songs, the music, played & sang on the guide track & gave other groups he created the track to resing. it. He created mall these groups to get his own work out & not oversaturate the market. He convinced Morris to be the front man for The Time as he didn’t think he could do it. She said he was a Genius by creating his own competition with his own work. He’d work all night then take a 15 min break & tell her put in another reel & keep going. His other Engineer Peggy said she knew he was Great but didn’t get it until he invited her to one of his concerts & then his appeal clicked as to how he commanded the stage & had people screaming for him! Susan also said everywhere they went he quietly made sure they made donations to help others including driving around with coats in case they saw a cold homeless person, donated millions to various causes & especially loved children giving $ to fund music programs in schools.

    Second Post: If you really want to experience the depth of Prince playing guitar - watch the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction of George Harrison (Beattle's). He is on stage with Jeff Lynn (ELO) Dani Harrison (son of George) Tom Petty and a couple more I cant list from memory. Prince stole the song While My Guitar Gently Weeps. After the guitar is tossed in the audience, I heard it was delivered to Oprah. You can see how much his peers respected him and honored him.

  • @SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra

    EVERY single note you hear, on EVERY instrument (including the voice [so many people neglect to perceive the voice as an instrument! It IS!]) on this song is written and performed by the ONE, the ONLY: PRINCE.
    In fact: every note on this album (save for a backing vocal by André Cymone) is written and performed by: Prince.
    -This was Prince's sophomore album and also contains the song: "I Feel For You" (which would be covered, with GREAT success, about a decade later (just less than), by: Chaka Khan.).
    ...I don't think that Prince worked at Sunset Sound (which was his "home base" (sort-of), prior to building Paisley Park (in the late '80s)-), where he did his first album [For You]. ...So, No Peggy McCreary [ a.k.a.: "Peggy Mac"]: Prince's major audio engineer in his early career [he had 4: all female, in his career].
    Prince was, still, learning the studio at this point and was more concerned with having everything set-up so he could work non-stop as soon as he came in, every day.
    -It is, also, a (perhaps 🤷🤷) little-known fact that: Prince recorded ALL of his lead vocals at the desk (the audio console in the control room), using a boom mic.
    ...this was, so, he could play with levels and control playback and recording WHILE doing his vocal tracks.
    EVERY, single PRINCE vocal you have EVER heard was: HIM, sitting at the console, with a boom mic.
    -Jay: if you are THAT fascinated by "the extremes" of Prince's "falsetto" voice, you should check-out his:"Camille" tracks (an "alternate female personality" he created) -although, I must warn you, ahead-of-time: the voice you will hear as "Camille" is NOT "natural," the voice is altered using ...the technology of the time (which would be: slowing down the tape while recording the vocal track, later speeding-up the tape to normal speed [just like "slo-mo" is done, with a film camera], or: by using a pitch-shifter (which was a rack-mount, or pedal-controlled, effect, which affected specific pitches/instruments without altering the rest of the recording)), so: it is pitched even higher than it would be "in room," but ...still ....just crazy.
    Several "Camille" tracks have been released as b-sides AND album cuts, on Prince albums (more were released on the "extended version" CD releases) and the entire "Camille" album is slated to, finally, see release, posthumously.]
    You can search out classic cuts, like:
    "Shockadelica",
    "Housequake",
    "If I Was Your Girlfriend",
    "Rockhard In A Funky Place"
    & "Strange Relationship" are, all, "Camille"tracks (originally)
    ...I believe the song: "U Got The Look", also, was considered a "Camille" track, initially (and does seem to use some vocal manipulation -although less so than other songs I have mentioned 🤷) and, as I recall, the track: "Erotic City" [a b-side from the: 1999 album] was the first place that Prince, actually, employed the "Camille"-style of vocal (pitched-up).
    All of them are well-worth hearing!
    🤘🤘🔥😁

He created The Time and Vanity 6 so that someone else could perform the music he wrote. He was the best at everything he did; including guitar... you need to see his solo performance of AS MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS. Other guitar superstars were stunned in awe. Check it out.

There are maybe 4 others in the last 60 years of music who have done that, only 2 in recent musical history that have. And they didn’t play ALL the instruments.
