wow I'm only 24 and I absolutely adore this song and Prince - I went to his concert last December and MAN does he put on an amazing show - Thank You Prince for coming to Vancouver B.C :D
Each to their own, but if you dislike this - fine, but don't insult the prince or those that have a sound mind and KNOW this is beyond great. Go click elsewhere.
lol, nobody at school knew about prince. then I told some one about him and he started to sing purple rain (well, only the words "purple rain"). later during class again, and every one joined XD.
Prince could sing, act, play instruments, dance, produce, write lyrics, compose music, the list just goes on. How many other legendary artist could you say that about?
John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Elvis, Aretha Franklin, Justin Timberlake, etc.
How the FUCK does this video only have half a million views and Justin Bieber has half a BILLION views?? What is this world coming too? I'm 15, and even I know this is REAL music...
@FromDreamz2Reality And no doubt 30 odd years ago, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin were considered the "real" musicians, compared to Prince, at least. And 60 years ago, no doubt Edith Piaf and the like were considered the "real" musicians. And so on, and so on. So how exactly did you come to the conclusion that this is "REAL" music? Other than your personal taste/preference, I mean.
Bieber is successful coz people listen to his music and buy his shit. It's as simple as that.
@FromDreamz2Reality Because Prince keeps taking down any music uploaded to YouTube. Whilst Justin Bieber doesn't care, in fact thats how he got discovered was covering songs on YouTube. I agree Princes music is WAY better.
Heard a story where Prince got the for the name from America's song, 'Ventura highway', where Dewey Bunnell sang, 'Sorry, boys, but, I've been hit by purple rain'.
Prince could sing, act, play instruments, dance, produce, write lyrics, compose music, the list just goes on. How many other legendary artist could you say that about? Prince is the greatest! AGREE With Caroinaguy313
I think that this song is what really brought out the critics. A lot of them had to eat a lot of CROW. If you did not not feel this song, then you do not love music. Like I said before,he is "THE BEST EVER" THANK YOU. PRINCE has left the building.
I remember when i was younger and sitting on the seat beside my mom when we drove to Bosnia to my dads funereal.. We were listening to this all the way from Denmark to Bosnia, god this brings memories back from when I was young, when music was music, and when my dad were alive.
6:56 onward, WOW! the ending of this song is really one of the best finals to any song ever, and by now, I know a few of them :-) I could hear that one over and over again
It was funny when Prince changed his name to that symbol for a while and the music media started referring to him as "the artist formerly known as Prince" finally they just shortened it to "the artist" hilarious
Prince was my favorite artist growing up. I was lucking that my mom aloud me to listen to his music when I was only 12. I learned about life, love, compassion, and the heart of music. I got involved in band and the orchestra. I played several instrument, because of of Prince Nelson. I still love his music today, and i always will. God gave him a gift that he uses so well. I love you, Prince.
Prince could sing, act, play instruments, dance, produce, write lyrics, compose music, the list just goes on. How many other legendary artist could you say that about? Prince is the greatest!!!
Michael didn't write alot of his music and the best acted he ever did was when he had the yellow eyes and scary face in the freeze frame at the end of Thriller video.
@madu86 lol Lenny Kravitz wasn't a dancer, Brian Mcknight couldn't dance either, neither one were actors also. And Like mentioned before MJ comes the closest but he can't play any instruments. No one was as talented as Prince.
Not only is this a timeless song but it also stands as the inspiration for one of the most memorable and unique characters in Mortal Kombat. Thank you Prince and the Revolution.
@willieg54 I really like how you wikipedia'd that, my friend.
And Dred Scott is a homeless denver man who Tyler Ward had filmed singing and playing guitar and put it up on his youtube channel. That man has talent. Look it up sometime. It might help you.
@k8lun28 actually i played him in a 3rd grade play plus im from missouri where the trial took place(hey we even did the play at the courthouse). Sorry i have no idea who the homeless dred scott is, i usually aint on the internet long enough to catch the latest crazes
i am fifty one yrs now great artist in my time. prince is one of the greatest sexiest on earth as a entertainer brilliant brilliant brilliant and gee brilliant. sooo what great ones will this gen bring
i have the "prince off the record" book and it has all the professional tabs for ALL the songs on purple rain!!!! The book is expensive as hell and rare! If anyone wants the tabs then you have to do this for me. i want the tab for "3121". if you do that....i will give you all of the tabs!!

Not quite, but he does do a nice solo at the end of this title assuming that it IS him.
