Good Day to you all. My name is Peter and I made this video with Prince back in the late 80s. I worked at Editel, which was one of the premier edit house in the day, he had shot all the footage at his place and showed up one Monday night with a box of tapes because he knew of my effects work. Remember this was before the computers and software of today, I had to layer each letter in the video one at a time. I enjoyed a healthy working relationship with him, a nice guy, incredibly talented. I still have other versions of the video with more messages in it but we felt we wouldn't get away with it as much as we did. I'm so glad this is available to all, thanks.
@Peter Beyt you were blessed to work with him..I know some others who have and they all speak highly of him..One word that is universally used to describe working with him is "Magic"
An absolute musical genius. My parents and especially my mum absolutely loved Prince and his records were always being played by her which made me a fan of his.
early 80s prince wrote i would die 4 U 4 = april U = 21 i would die april 21 prince died april 21 2016 mirror datum april 21 counted back from 31 december = 9 - 11 augustus 11 3 planes on 9 - 11 2001 in NY plane-numbers were 77 93 & 11 prince wrote in early 80s ´the time´ song 7 77 93 11 but wait there is more
“Cat we need you to dance, cuz we know you know” we all are growing old but her dancing and the body of music left behind in this world will never let you die. RIP my Alphabet Street dancer.
Who came here if you are one of the fortunate (myself) to have seen the magnificent musician wonderful songwriter Prince in concert Amazing absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for your music 🎶 God Bless R.I.P Always beautiful xxxx
His musical output in the 80's was astounding. He was like a conveyor belt giving us one brilliant song after another. He released and album of new material each year with the exception of 1983 only because he was working on the eventual Purple Rain soundtrack and filming the movie. Wow!
@Perverted Alchemist I say early 80's to early 90's he couldn't be touched, when he went all Artist formerly Known as, he lost it musically. Still had some moments when he shone but they were far and few inbetween. Still was a fantastic live act though.
@@stevecheevers7337 He did lose anything musically.. he just decided to explore a wider range of styles.. a lot of which were not commercial .. especially in light of grunge and gangster rap all over the radio
so what? as long as you are creative and endresults gives you satisfaction the rest is the ears of other beholders in principle not important and i´m certain there are plenty plenty people doing it all themselves just like prince and we don´t know them and will never know them cause they don´t compromise
The percussion & drum arrangements on this record is insane!!! I remember listening for the 1st time wondering wtf is going on here. It still has the same effect. I really love the kick,sooooo effective
Read in a book about Prince (written and published in the early 90’s) that what showed off the brilliance of Prince was in this song. They claim Prince sings and plays his guitar in one key, while the rest of his band play in a different key, but somehow it all comes together
Actually, Prince wrote several songs that sucked, the Under the Cherry Moon soundtrack being one. I also thought his music suffered when he became that symbol.
Prince wrote many, many duff songs. He was wildly inconsistent for much of his career, particularly after the early 90s. However, I'm not convinced that many Prince fans would rate the soundtrack to Under the Cherry Moon - Parade to everyone else - as anything other than amongst his best work. It's not his best album but it might be his most daring, and his most interesting.
@@Wordsareprayers He was inconsistent. He released dozens of albums and not all of them were great. Even when he was close to his peak, Graffiti Bridge, Diamonds and Pearls and maybe even Symbol - which i really, really like - would all have to be considered a little bit patchy. All contained elite Prince nonetheless and he was still capable of making startling music. He got significantly less compelling in the following years. I love Prince and consider him ro be as good as anyone at his best, but I was replying to someone who said that Prince never made a song that sucked. He did. He made loads of them. Even Prince's biggest fans would surely concede that Prince made more than his fair share of music that was underwhelming. I am not saying anything even vaguely controversial. I'm a big Prince fan for what it's worth.
80’s prince was his zenith, I loved his hidden messages from Darling Nikki to the one in this video at 0:26 “DON’T BUY THE BLACK ALBUM I’M SORRY” Classic Prince of that era.
@@misterhappy5462You have to watch very carefully. It’s right after the part where Prince disappears as he’s holding a cane. It’s a long vertical text image that appears when it shows Prince playing the guitar. It’s immediately before the Yeah, Yeah, Yeah” appears.
Prince, probably the sexiest man ever to grace this world. I ain't gay, but damn he was fine to look at. And as a performer he we just so amazing, i wish i could move that way!
Damb, I wish this song was longer!!! I don't want it to end 😂😂😂. It's hard not to play it over and over again cause it's sooo good! Prince, we miss you...RIP ❤😘
This video makes me smile every time I watch...so super cool! He was so beautiful with that hair blowing and flowing! It's hard adjusting to a world without him in it, but I'm so grateful for the music.
Anyone who can scream the word "No" as the opening lyric for a song has a lot of talent and musical conviction to do so. This track is Prince's best by far.
it's mind-blowing how Prince used the bassline of Larry Graham's Mr. Writer to create this song cuz both are two completely different songs and that just shows how much of a GENIUS that Prince really was......
I remember the controversy this video caused when Erica Ehm announced the hidden message on Much Music 30 years ago. We taped it and ran it over and over again looking for the message. Never did find it. 0:25 play at 0.25 speed. You'll see it vertically in black as Prince walks through the screen.
kant 4get about good ol Alphabet St. one of me & my older brother favorite! simple tune with a mid-tempo beat but funky, this swagged out video from Prince was a timeless! "88" Classic!
Prince has a lot of songs and many more well received than this but I keep going back to this one. Timelessly funky. Also can we appreciate the female vocals on the chorus - I believe it's the drummer Sheila E....the 2nd and 3rd chorus her voice rises vibrantly on top a touch louder than the other vocals (which I believe are mostly if not all Prince). Amazing.

Peter Beyt THANK U FOR SHARING A BLESSED LEGACY WITH HIM. this song is now one of my best and Favorite songs from the Icon! A big list of PRINCE!!!
Peter Beyt Last, God bless you and continue on working big and smart! Prince couldn't have done it without U. LOVES U VERY MUCH! SENDING LOVE💜💜💜💜
How was Prince
Peter. You MUST post the alternative videos. Us fans are desperate for more. Do it and I’ll marry you!
PRINCE IS A MUSIC GENRE ALL BY HIMSELF
I have a playlist of just his songs. He is THAT dude...
More true words have never been spoken
I've never heard Prince explained better than that.
He who has fought all his life for the atomization of genres
Genre, that is absolutely perfect for describing the brilliant, multi-talented Prince💜
Even though this wasn't considered one of his biggest hits, it's in my top 3 favorite Prince songs. That funk is undeniably infectious!
I just find it to be a very happy song. They should have had Prince sing it on Sesame Street.
It's one of his biggest hits.
You're right, it's not one of his most popular ones, but it is ahhh-mazin!!
Did you jerk your body like a horny pony would?😅

@@waltereneshepherd3306 1 of the most beautiful talented original & sexy women ever, what an inspiration ❤️ 💔
RIP Cat, you will never be forgotten.
The line has the word “rap,” not “dance.”
Who is enjoying this master piece in 2024?
One of many from his royal badness🌹❤☕🥠🧸🎁 Prince was a gift for us all.
STILL HERE LOVING IT💜
That hair...😍😍😍
This song is so STRIPPED DOWN and BASIC and STILL SLAYS anything of any era EVER!!!
One of my favorite Prince tracks
Summer of '88. Good memories.
This that real summer sunshine Beach song
That first verse gets me every time.
Yup💯✅
The beautiful Voice - That smile, those eyes, the amazing talent x please come back soon x ❤
Who came here if you are one of the fortunate (myself) to have seen the magnificent musician wonderful songwriter Prince in concert Amazing absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for your music 🎶

@Tony What's the name of that album???
This album flopped
Hands down the most talented cutest man with a perm and heels. And he knew it too!
this video is amazing , the little Richard and James brown influences bleed out this man . rip to all these legends ❤️.
RIP Cat 💜✝️☮️🙏
The real deal is the absolute stunning maxi or full length track, with the girl whispering and the stylophone giving the track a retro sound.
Prince was a writer a singer a musician dancer producer. He did it all. Nd you mention of todays artists and they do not compare
so what? as long as you are creative and endresults gives you satisfaction the rest is the ears of other beholders
in principle not important and i´m certain there are plenty plenty people doing it all themselves just like prince
and we don´t know them and will never know them cause they don´t compromise
This is one of Prince's funkiest bass lines ever
Kyrie Sampson this one and let’s work bass line is pee-u fonkay!!
Kyrie Sampson AMEN!!! THESE ARE 1 OF MY FAVORITE PRINCE SONGS!!! I would listen 2 this FOR MANY DECADES.💜💖🕊
Kyrie Sampson. If you listen carefully there is no Bass line, just a Guitar and a key board.
Dewayne Coleman Levi Seacer Jr is playing that little snippet of bass in this song.
@@dorothyparker544 It is Prince playing the bass as well as guitar on this track. 🎶❤️
🤗 Everytime I hear this song,I smile... No matter what my mood was before the opening chords... I smile.. Thanks Prince..
Same here. Brilliant
ONE person did that. Not a band. Not an orchestra. ONE person. Prince, 28 years old.
Prince, the one man band. Yes!
Incredible
A Legend ABOVE legends....
He was 30 in '88 but yes he was a one man band genius ❤
Who's listening to this in 2020, I LOVE this song..
Wild Rose most night yeah 🤣😂
Yes
YEAH!, YEAH!, YEAAAAAAH!
Me too, and yes, I am watching in 2020
Me too
The percussion & drum arrangements on this record is insane!!! I remember listening for the 1st time wondering wtf is going on here. It still has the same effect. I really love the kick,sooooo effective
So true . He made such brilliant short songs , they were like a journey, just perfect
PRINCE!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍🤗

The kinda shit I argue with my band about
Prince was the truth. He never wrote a song that sucked,, not one. There will never be another Prince
Actually, Prince wrote several songs that sucked, the Under the Cherry Moon soundtrack being one. I also thought his music suffered when he became that symbol.

Nobody's blowout is better than Prince's!❤❤❤
Prince has a helluva lot of gems on most of his albums. He truly carved his own lane as a musician.
I can't be the only one who sang the song and continued on with the extended version with Cat's rap.
Niiiiice!
Feels weird listening to it without it
Cat, we need you rap!!!
U R Not Alone😊💜
No, you aren't! I have the extended version on my phone. And love the Hell out of it!
I MISS PRINCE SO MUCH
Maria Reyna 😚😚😚☺☺🙄
Girl you are not alone. Wish that amazing man was still around. :(
@@ight3817 same. He died when I was 5
I was fascinated by Prince and I wasn't even 10 years old. So many songs of him have a special meaning for me. Such a great human being❤❤❤
This isn't sesame street lol
His hazel eyes were captivating.
This Masterpiece Is So Underrated.
PRINCE ROGERSNELSON Is So SHY&CUTE THOSE DIMPLES Are Very CUTE WHEN HE SMILES 😃 😊 🙂 😀 😄 😁! So SEXY! When HePlays HIS 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸!
I Agree...............
Why Do You Capitalize The First Letter Of Every Word?
This was the song that introduced me to Prince, I haven’t stopped listening to him since 🤟🏻
80’s prince was his zenith, I loved his hidden messages from Darling Nikki to the one in this video at 0:26 “DON’T BUY THE BLACK ALBUM I’M SORRY” Classic Prince of that era.
i can never see the hidden message no matter how many times i watch the video. even with your time stamp

@@lakebay972 wow...FINALLY after how many years of hearing about it i saw it. thank you!
Omg finally after decades of picking this apart thank you i can now see it!!
Bob George ....yep
Prince, probably the sexiest man ever to grace this world. I ain't gay, but damn he was fine to look at. And as a performer he we just so amazing, i wish i could move that way!
This is my favourite slap bassline ever! I love how he leaves space.
Prince is killing this bass guitar on this cut. (legendary )
Prince was UNIQUE and I mean that in a nice manner. Mercy!
Prince is so genius.
Saw him twice, he was awesome. The dude was the best.
Damb, I wish this song was longer!!! I don't want it to end 😂😂😂. It's hard not to play it over and over again cause it's sooo good! Prince, we miss you...RIP ❤😘
One of my FAVORITE Prince jams!!!
Mine too 🎉
Me 3!
This video makes me smile every time I watch...so super cool! He was so beautiful with that hair blowing and flowing! It's hard adjusting to a world without him in it, but I'm so grateful for the music.
Happy birthday baby Prince 🎊🎊🎁🎁🎁
I remember this jam! I used to crank it on my 1987 AIWA Auto-Reverse Boom Box! Fall 1988!! Good Times!
Anyone who can scream the word "No" as the opening lyric for a song has a lot of talent and musical conviction to do so. This track is Prince's best by far.
RIP, Catherine "Cat"Glover.❤
I wish Prince was still alive 😭
I love the whole CD beginning to end! I understand he was telling a musical story from Eye No - Positivity. Flawless. It's never outdated.
Prince should've released Crystal Ball and then Sign O the Times.
This is why I love Fridays,we made it to the weekend and we get more Prince music videos! 💜
The Regg yassss!!!😊💜💜💜
I wonder why they've stopped? .... it looks like it's been 2 months since a new vid has been posted ... :,(
Lovesexy needs a deluxe release such an underappreciated album that deserves more recognition
Prince was the Man
Rest In Peace Cat

Wembley Arena, 1988: fell in love with Sheila E and the whole damn band. Mind blowing show
One of the greatest song of all time - Legend Prince
This guy is one of the all time greats as a performer and musician. Never in my opinion did he get the respect he deserved.
The driving bass and stuttering cowbell 💜
Who came here for the three bass tracks? 😂
Me
Got what I wanted
😂😂😂
Damn you got me😂😂😂
😂😂😂
lol 😂 did
That guitar riff??!! Keeps bringing me back!!
He looks gorgeous in this video😍😘❤
After Purple Rain/Sign of the Times era, Parade n Lovesexy took a min to get, he was evolving. But once I got it, wow, the one and only Prince🔥
This video is everything . Love them letters falling on him and all the colors .
My goodness love his hair
Never grows old. I was hooked as a kid when I heard “I Wanna B Ur Lover”. He gave it all.
The rhythm is groovy n simply infectious done in true Prince style ✨
Great song from the late Prince (God rest his soul). I love this song and I loved Prince. He was a very good singer back in his day.
Dang, his hair was the business! P love

One of my all time favorites from Prince . I loved the shout - out to Tennessee !
He honestly looks so graceful when he is dancing in heels. (Watch Prince's music video "Theives in the Temple")
FUNKY 💜💜💜

Sometimes I forget to breath while watching his performances

Every day Prince sing very good
When Prince starts dancing at the 2:02 mark, I can picture my mom doing that exact dance which is crazy because she’s been gone since 2012.
“Yeah, yeah...YEAH” this is my favorite Prince song and don’t ask me again.
Leefo 3 😂😂😂
mine too
"What's your favorite Prince song?"
Love the dance at 2:02. Too fly!!
Perfection.
finally! was my my favourite Prince song released that year!
Prince is the perfect blend of pretty and handsome
Thank you friend for your beautiful uplifting music. Right on time.
Just replace the word "YEAH" with "RIGHT".....Now we got a "HIT" on our hands......
