The range of emotions in your face as you listen to this shows how beautiful your soul must be

The man is not his dad, but the promoter at the club where he was performing. It's a scene from the movie called "Purple Rain" which is somewhat autobiographical. Definitely worth watching the movie - the entire soundtrack is phenomenal.

I am 54 went on my first date at 14 years old to see this movie. We still dont know what "Purple Rain" means but the whole theatre was stunned with tears falling and we cant explain why? Its a very emotional song. "Watch the movie!"

My brother brought home this album…yes I said album lol, we were teenagers in the 80’s. I fell in love with Prince that night. I lost my brother about a year later in a car accident. After all these years whenever I hear Prince on the radio I feel a special connection to my brother. Like it’s a special message from him. I’m so happy you discovered Prince.

What's even more impressive is when Prince performed this song during the Super Bowl halftime show IN THE RAIN!

"When Doves Cry" Prince's Masterpiece. From the same movie, directed, acted and sung by Prince

Prince was a musical prodigy who played many instruments well, and a prolific songwriter who wrote hit songs for many artists. At only 5' 2"", he was a giant in the musical industry.

Is there ANYTHING Prince could not do? Guitar,drums,keyboard,piano,great vocals,great lyrics...and he could play basketball like a boss.Ntm he was physically gorgeous. Truly an original. Rest in Peace Prince

I cry listening to the 1985 live version the way he made the guitar sing is unlike anything I've ever heard. I'm glad to have been alive at the same as this musical legend

After 45 years this song still hits me just like it did the first time they played it on the radio.

Prince was a true musical genius, a prodigy. You should really sit down and watch the entire movie.

Prince and Michael Jackson helped to define the 80s pop rock sound. They were both incredible songwriters and performers. Great reaction Mo!

The entire Purple Rain album is just genius! "When Doves Cry" is probably his best known, but there are so many magnificent songs. The film was a little autobiographical and fantastic!

The way to understand this song is to watch the movie. Prince was a one and only. There has never been or will be another.

The greatest musician that ever lived.

Proof that music today, is taking a backslide, with few exceptions.

Oh man, I forgot how powerful this song is. I loved this song when I was a kid.

One of the best songs of all time , Especialy the long version. , the eighties nothing is better musicaly

This is the music of my youth. I can not tell you or express how much I loved Prince. His music is so good. There is not another musician like him. His music is extremely diverse and he always brings passion to his music. I was probably 13 when I first discovered Prince back in the early 80s. While I adore songs like Purple Rain I was often a much bigger fan of the songs that didn’t get released to radio. Sometime just do yourself a favor and sit down and play his albums from his first album through. You can hear hints of each new album in each album. It’s like a perfect time capsule. You can see him form and change from a young man into a spiritual human. We lost a beautiful soul when he passed away. People like to talk down because he died of an overdose but the reality is he was in pain from years of abusing his body for us and his art. I saw you compared him to MJ, please don’t get me wrong MJ is GREAT, but Prince to me is just next level. I know others may disagree. Prince was a musician first, entertainer with an exceptional voice. I think the comparison comes from just the era and not necessarily that their music was that much alike. Hope you continue down the journey of Prince you will fall in love, be in shock, general awe and admiration while enjoying a huge catalog of interesting funky music

Michael will forever be the king and Prince will forever be the prince! 2 of the best artist to ever perform.

I used to listen to Prince in the 80s from my parents record player with headphones on. I will tell you that there is no sound like that from a 33 on high volume as long as you have a decent stereo. It brings the singer in the room next to you. The sound is rich and pure. I love Prince's music he was a genius. He was a tortured man, his faith was strong, and he worried about his salvation his entire life. You gave us a gift with this pure, and emotional reaction. I got a little bit of an innocent crush on you young lady. Great job! Thanks!

One of the greatest of all time,so love this song, real artist live forever!

Lovely and powerful reaction. Yes, Prince was a gifted writer and performer.

This is probably one of the gretaest songs ever written. I have chills everytime that i listen to this masterpiece 😍😍

There was nothing, musically, Prince couldn't do. Prince might be the greatest artist we've lost in the last 20 years. React to Prince's halftime show at the Super Bowl.

The 80s had such a great taste in music I swear. This song, Purple Rain....as I was listening and watching it with you I got chills sent down my spine. Not a lot of songs do that to me. This song is just ultimately super powerful in absolutely everything. Musical composition, the chords, the lyrics, just the whole song in general. So freaking beautiful. This song is just amazing. :)

RIP Prince such a great artist gone before his time . Thank you for the music and the memories .

Not only do you have one of the most beautiful faces I've seen on these many reaction videos, but judging by your wonderful emotions, I can see that you have a beautiful soul. Don't lose that gift. Always remember that although physical beauty may fade with age, the beautiful soul remains forever.

I believe that up there in heaven Prince, Freddie Mercury, George Michael, David Bowie and Chester Bennington are putting on a show.

This song is epic and meaningful and I’m glad you felt it. Prince was big on having female musicians in his band. I hope you react to more Prince, one of the greatest musical artists of all time!

Awwww honey your tears!! Lovely, emotional reaction Mo. I get chills every time I hear this. God gave us Prince for only a short time, but what a ride!!! Superb talent lost too soon. RIP! 👏🙏

Every time i hear this song, still after so many times i still have the reaction that you have....it makes you feel every emotion...i get your emotion...it can't even be explained.. This is what music should be...emotion💜 you are a good person with lots of emotion...if you were not you would not be receiving this song as u just showed..its overwhelming😢

The best "Purple Rain Reaction "you had me emotional....good job.😂😂😂😂😂

Prince was a musical genius

There’s a guitar part towards the end that I just am in love with.

I really miss sometime good old times from 1980´s, when music was... pure music.

The performance of this at the American Music Awards in 84/85 was incredible, up there with MJs Motown 25 Billie Jean performance.

Great reaction to a great artist. Thank you so much! That was not his dad. If you see the full photo, this is the closing scene..You will cry a river.

I will forever miss and never forget Prince and his revolution. I’m so glad we were fortunate enough to record him in human history especially with this art of song. I encourage you watch his bio. He was an inspiration in his day and that inspiration carries on today. By you bringing him forward today you have inspired me to say this. Thank you, Mo. You are an inspiration too.

Somewhat like MJ, Prince was an immense talent, sometimes misunderstood, but overwhelmingly immense. The move Purple Rain must be watched to appreciate the back story of this video. Like MJ the world lost Prince tragically far too soon. We really miss the music he took with him that we will never enjoy. Greetings from Arizona, USA. Be safe and happy.

In the beginning, those 2 girls looked terrified of Prince! But luckily, he kissed one of them towards the end to ease the tension. Prince and Michael Jackson were the superpowers of this era.🌹

That was a performance man… that was a performance!!! Through a song, that man touched hearts. It’s so legendary and you could play this generation to generation. There is just something about it that you can just… feel

You need to react to the Movie"Purple Rain" then you'll understand what his emotions are all about.. One of the best Soundtracks ever !!! Other performances by Morris Day and the Time, and Apollonia 6, which is actually a 3 girls group. Definitely a must !!

Oh I love this song so much - its a masterpiece. I would listen to it a few times, it will get better!! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much 😁

He was an extraordinary talent, sorely missed. Played pretty much every instrument on his albums .. but his guitar was up there with Hendrix, Santana and Clapton. Every metal head I know will always listen to Prince. Welcome to a new musical journey. Recommend Get Off.

That was a powerful reaction Mo. You never cease to share your honest emotions You are a very impressive young woman. I love you and your channel. A fan for life. Take care Hun, RNB

This is a masterclass in building something from nothing - the actual song isn't much... - on pure vibe, attitude, energy, personality, soul. You can see how he did it in "Purple Rain 1983, Prince and The Revolution - The recording of". It was the first performance of guitarist Wendy. It was the first time the band played the song and most of it is improvised over simple repeated chord changes. Prince is testing out guitar sounds in the drawn out intro. There is a second verse that falls flat and was edited out of the album version. But at some point it all comes together and it's supernatural, magic.

Prince was mind & soul to its core! MJ was entertainment.

Amazing reaction!!! Now for some Raspberry Beret, When Doves cry, so many other great Prince songs.

He was multi talented. He played 14 different instruments and wrote his own songs 👏🏻✌🏻

If you really are hearing this man for the first time here, welcome to Prince👍

Great song great reaction. Please never stop smiling. My heart is warmed by your beautiful smile. Thank you

And breathe. He is the most prolific musucian that ever walked this earth. He is God. Always will be. Much loved and missed. ❤❤❤❤❤

Surely the purest ever talent in popular music. The endless country style guitar riff is what I imagine is the sound of the gates of heaven opening.

Such a beautiful reaction. Now do yourself a favour and watch the movie Purple Rain to get the full context of this song. It hits even harder when you see the build up to this song. Or maybe just record yourself watching the movie then post your reactions to as many songs as you like.

My dear, I grew up with songs like this and I assure you that my reaction (my millionth reaction not the first) is still the same as you have. I lived the 70s and 80s listening to this music and going to all the concerts I could and I was lucky enough to see artists such as Prince, Dire Straits, America, Bee Gees, Rod Steward, James Taylor, Brian Adams, Spandau Ballet live. and many others. I make my daughters listen to this music whenever I can and I am happy that girls and boys like you open these kinds of channels on youtube. My only regret is that you can enjoy these artists only through youtube, "the blessed youtube". Congratulations and continue to do this kind of disclosure of the history of music. Greetings from Italy

Watching your reaction to this song was awesome!!!! I am glad that you reacted to Prince, he will be missed and was a genius!!!! The emotions that he could get you to feel cannot be compared to any other artist in history!!! You should watch the movie Purple Rain it is a very awesome movie!!!!

For one, love this song, and Prince. Was an 80’s girl and always will be. Loved having the privilege of being inspired by an amazing, collaborative group of innovative, boundary breaking, leaders, in a very boundary, cockhold environment. I was part of a group that broke boundaries, and we embraced ourselves, whether we were embraced or not. This is not hugely exceptional, except this was a high school marching band, and we were exceptional.

This song defined the 80 s and it's the decades trademark

votre visage est si expressif, et il y a tellement d'émotion au travers de "purple rain", que ce soit le lyrics ou dans le SOLO de PRINCE. tres, tres belle musique, et vous aussi vous etes belle .

Prince was from my home town..Twin Cities. I watched him from 1980, before he became nationally known. I could not take my eyes off of him.

There is so much beauty in that song.

Prince was a very, very, very talented person...musician/guitarist, singer, writer,...all around performer, I'm sorry I never got to see him in person...my loss, regret.

another legendary song it's official I'm addicted to your channel your reaction is always beautiful and honest keeps me coming back for more thank you !

Baby girl, never hide your emotions. Prince is in the GOAT category. I'm from Minneapolis and have been to Pasiley Park many times to see how the Genius worked. RIP PRINCE. (he would have loved your reaction too) LOVE from Minneapolis.

Mo!!! Your emotional reaction to this song was so moving. I grew up in the city Prince is from, and made famous for the “Minneapolis Sound” he was a major part of in the ‘80s. The nightclub this video was filmed at is still world famous and a sought-after venue to play at for musicians of all backgrounds. I have been to countless concerts at this club and have so many good memories there. I even got my COVID vaccine administered there! Thank you so much for reminding me that a big as the world is, something as small as a song can bring us all together.

I know girl. I love his speaking voice too. Very soothing.

💜 Prince! This is from his movie Purple Rain. 🎬 You should watch it ☺👍

Bro, the way she was instantly so blown away and then started crying, as if she's experiencing a tremendous loss or something, before the first musical note was even struck... Nah, this girl is having a REAL experience rn! So RAW! These are the types of reactions that I was looking for! The raw emotion! Prince was something different. He was a _very_ special one, and one of THE greatest in music history, ever. RIP to the GOAT!! 🥺🐐💜🎶🔥

That was Prince's real band. You should watch the movie Purple Rain I really think you'd enjoy it and the majority, if not all of it was filmed in Minnesota. My elderly mother passed away on 9/11/10 and she loved this song. Prince reached multiple generations with his music; he was a legend and is missed so very much. I'm proud to say I'm from Minnesota, the state that gave the world Prince Rogers Nelson!

Baby Girl your reaction to this amazing Prince classic was wondering and so heartfelt❤ You really should react to When Doves Cry as others have mentioned. Also there's a performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony that you should react to! Prince along Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and others perform together and it's AMAZING! Prince's guitar skills are on display🎸🎼🎶🎵

This was my dads favorite song he passed away may 2021 it still chokes me up listening to it but i do from time to time

I saw you react to The Beatles "Let It Be"...when its an emotional attached song you tear up.... then i know your reactions are real.

I must laugh when I see your face in the beginning from this video ! Prince is World Star but in the beginning he was very shy ! Now he makes excellent music ! I remember this song as yesterday . The combination with Shela E was also very good ! Thanks for this choice and a Big Kiss 💋 from Holland ! 👍🇳🇱👏😘

Your reaction got me in tears.

Prince what he does and could do is no different only the ICONS of MUSIC could do.. is get you in a hypnotic trance state with his Artistry and Musicality.. very few could pull it off.. Jim Morrison of the DOORS.. comes to mind, Jimmy Hendrix is another.. MJ of course and Freddie Mercury, maybe Bowie and Led Zeppelin with Plant.. but few could give you just a ''talk to''.. on stage while supposedly singing and give you so much RAW POWER... from his stage presence as it carries the tune and song all the way to go the distance...

As always, great reaction! It's already been mentioned in the comments, but in 84/85, Prince performed this song on The American Music Awards. At that time, I had heard OF Prince, but never heard any songs. Then I saw that performance and.... was.... FLOORED! Great song! 🕊

that is what as known as a master piece....that is that for sure.

Hello, my dear - please listen to and see Prince's other hits - such brilliant ones as "Diamonds and Pearls", "Kiss" "1999" and all the other world songs. A treat ...

One of the best songs and movies of the time, yes, I cried, powerful movie...RIP Prince, legend...Just fabulous...Thanks so much for another great reaction

easily one of his best songs. he was also the one who wrote the song 'nothing compares 2 u' that was sung by sinead o connor. easily one of the best songs ever written as well. you should definitely react to that. its every girls anthem after a breakup lol.

I love it whenever you discover the greats for the first time. Prince was a fantastic musician, absolute legend. Makes me want to start a reaction channel with non-western music, because I'm sure there is a lot of great songs that never made it to our shores.

Have you been through a lot of pain? You seem to be one of those ppl that do not like to see anyone hurting. You have a very pure heart, you r rare if I am correct.

Prince, extreme talent, extreme showman. He does a lot onstage preparing the audience into the point of mind he wants you to be, so maybe the confusion in what you feel emotion wise, of this single segment of that entire show may be caused by the fact we don't see any of the show prior to this segment. In effect we are not totally involved in the show, as not fully prepared for this song to be seen this way cut separate from the rest of the show. Love your reactions. I really like the way you analyze each song you react to and tell us what you get from them. Always a Thumbs up to you. Plus of course, you are eye candy so that makes each song even better....

This is reaction GOLD ✨✨✨ very good!

Prince was as big as MJ, if not bigger. And that's it.

It was such a joy to see your emotional reaction to the incomparable Prince. He certainly commands attention when he walks out on stage, doesn't he? Hopefully, you will react to some of his other songs. like "When Doves Fly", for example...thanks, Mo!

I appreciate your tears of empathy, Mo. Prince's music deserves it. Not only he was an outstanding composer and singer, but also an incredibly gifted guitarist. Check out his performance on KZfaq with Tom Petty and others in the Rock'n Roll Hall of Fame where they played George Harrison's "While my guitar gently weeps". Prince's guitar solo is not from this earth.

Iam glad you just discovering this Beyond Phenomonal Legendary Singer And Performer Called Prince (:. He is truly a musical treasure (:

How I envy you, you get to dive into the deepest och greatest rabbit hole of all for the first time. Prince is arguably the most musically talented artist of all time, and his treasure trove of great songs is deeper than most. This video is from the movie of the same name - it's towards the end of the movie, after a tragedy has happened in his life, and the audience knows about it. Hence the somber atmosphere in the beginning of the video. I highly recommend the movie too.

Hello Morenikeji. Purple Rain is a very emotional song, makes me want to cry. It hurts to see you cry. You should check out the 1984 movie of the same name. Went and saw it, underestimated classic. It will make you cry; I know I did. Check out the soundtrack- it is awesome, had the cassette and know have the vinal disc re-released in 2021. Hope you are well, God bless your beautiful heart and soul. Love to you baby girl.😍😍✌✌

You should watch his performance at a super bowl during a torrential downpour. He's the GOAT

There is so much to say about Prince and his music but I have rarely heard a more " accurate at first hearing it" than yours. Your first reaction was "attitude" ! That more or less sums up his whole carreer. Brilliant reaction.

When I was at high school back in the 80’s, some of the girls were obsessed by this man

Thank you for the reaction video. I was lucky enough to see him perform this during the purple rain tour and to this day when in a certain mood or moment it still gets me emotional. There is something other worldly about this song, that hits deep in your soul....

Its a joy to watch your reaction :) The film Purple Rain is well worth a watch.

Don’t be ashamed of shedding a tear after hearing purple rain . Purple rain is the tears that flow through half closed eyes when we weep . At least that’s what I always believed the song was about.

From New Caledonia island, (South pacifique), first time i hear this song "purple rain" in your channel. Very emotionly song wahoo !!!

The best songs last forever!!

Love your reactions🙏
