As a ARMY retiree I can tell you that when I was deployed and times got "dark" it was Faith, Family, and PRINCE that got me through....

Oh man Lenny Kravitz was on! A true artist and friend of prince. Lovely tribute.

Like how Lenny reworked Doves cry with the choir so creative and tasteful.

Lenny & Prince were friends. Prince would of loved this very much!!

Lenny was the perfect artist to do this tribute as he was a personal friend and well respected by Prince💜

Wow a Gospel, Rock n Roll Tribute to Prince...and The Cross! 🙏 Love it! Thank you Lenny Kravitz!!!!

Lenny & Prince were very close. Nothing but LOVE.....GREAT tribute!!

From what I know from hearing Prince speak, he would Love that his Friend didn’t just do a cover but took creative liberties... that’s honoring a friend

Lenny is so underrated! we should appreciate him more at this crazy times when artists die so quickly

Prince hated people covering stuff exactly as it is. He always respected people doing their own stuff, and that's what Lenny did. He made his own version out of these songs, and that's how it should be, I guess. I personally love Lenny's version and appreciate the whole show he did.

I am a super Prince head and a Lenny fan. This is a great tribute. Who would think to cover The Cross, not many.

If anyone can pay tribute to Prince with such class it's LENNY!

Lenny took it to church along with the choir and band....did his brother and friend right perfect tribute his purpleness would love this...I see Prince in the audience shaking his head yea man

Lenny was invited to perform a tribute to both Prince, and Led Zeppelin in their respective inductions into the hall of fame...The contrast of these shows how diverse and talented Lenny really is

Before Lenny made it big, he called himself Romeo Blue and he mimicked Prince in every way back then. Beautiful tribute brother, no body could honor Prince musically like Lenny

Is this not the most dope covers? Seriously. Using a choir on when doves cry and showing the utter versatility of princes music man.. Wow- 😳 💜🕶

Hard to believe this world without Prince, Michael, Tom Petty, Bowie, and Lenny don't you dare leave us too. This tribute was awesome.

OK I love Lenny and I know him and Prince were friends...so this means so much 💜 but it truly shows just how unbelievable Prince was.... Respect and love Lenny ✌️🕉️😚🎶☔🕊️

Beautiful version of "The Cross." Wow. I'm blown away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP Purple One.

This tribute to Prince was breathtaking. I love KZfaq

Keeping in mind this is a tribute, I think it is very respectfully done. No one tried to be like Prince, but, in contrast, honor him. I found it beautifully done. Excellent. Thank you to all for this amazing. respectfully done, homage for our Prince. It shows nothing but love.

Lenny Kravitz is so cool, awesome, unique, talented, spiritual, intelligent ...... He's One Of A Kind ❤️

I loved this tribute. I remember hearing Prince say years ago that Lenny was a good friend of his and he enjoyed shooting pool with him. Prince cracked a few jokes. RIP Purple warrior.

The gospel choir is so amazing...fits perfect to this tribute to one of the beautifullest musicians the world ever had

You know it's a great tribute when the choir looks way into it and happy to be there

2:58 that black choir guy was really feeling that guitar solo

They were great friends and hung out in Paris lots He was truly upset when Prince passed so this tribute must have been pretty close to his heart

I especially love how Lenny picked “The Cross” one of the more obscure songs by Prince, instead of the predictable Purple Rain or 1999. Great tribute!

Man o man, that is the best Prince tribute so far.

Prince whom we love , our Minnesota treasure. Lenny Kravitz does a fabulous tribute. The only musician who could possibly do justice

Lenny is an unique combo of great music technique, style and presence. A true frontman

That's the absolute best cover of Prince's music. I would usually cringe when people tried to cover Prince's music. Great music selection,. especially 'The Cross,' a lesser known great song by Prince. Lenny, you embodied Prince's spirit.

I love how bro rocked out on drums while playing The Cross

Haven’t really seen too many Prince tributes or covers that were very enjoyable. ...But wow. FINALLY someone had the artistic talent and vision to effectively pull it off and do it REALLY well. I know he was smiling from heaven. This tribute should have been the one that aired on one of the major non-cable networks. Far more enjoyable compared to others I saw. 💜

The guitar sounds amazing

Those who truly understood Prince, could only do wonderful tributes to him, and this is one of them! Amazing!

Gail Ann Dorsey killing it on the bass as per usual!

Covering Prince is a nearly impossible task. Most attempts fail woefully. Lenny does an amazing, admirable job with this. I agree with those who said he made it his own. He also shows respect for the material, and obviously took the time to do it right. Great cover!

PRINCE IS LOOKING FROM HEAVEN AT HIS FRIEND LENNY WITH THE BIGGEST SMILE. THE END OF THIS MADE ME CRY. OUTSTANDING JOB LENNY.

"When Doves Cry" was the first song I heard from Prince. I still get goosebumps! Prince forever!

Love it. Lenny is in such great shape.

What a great cover......diferent and also so precious with his voice and chorus. Love it as the original.

What a superb tribute! Lenny brought it home and did it justice, and who is that older hippie looking dude doing that funky, amazing guitar? Dayum! How did I miss this in 2017? I had no idea this tribute existed. Bruno Mars and The Time, the other video, did wonderfully too on their tributes. So fun! RIP Prince - you are missed!

Lenny Kravitz is such a rock star. I love this tribute; it's wonderful.

Great guitar playing by Craig Ross!

THE VERY BEST TRIBUTE TO PRINCE I HAVE SEEN. I LOVE THAT LENNY DIDN'T TRY TO DO WHEN DOVES CRY EXACTLY LIKE PRINCE. I remember when him and Prince played together on the Rave un2 the year 2000 concert.

DaaaaaAAAAAaaaammnnnnnn. Perfect tribute. Prince was a spiritual man and "The Cross" is the PER. FECT. song to remember him by - from the Sign O' The Times album. I think Prince would have been moved by this performance. Well done Lenny and Co.

Yes, a beautiful tribute to Prince. He would have loved it. ☔️ 💜☔️

Best tribute ever.

There is like, 40 people on that stage, absolutely pouring their hearts out! That bouncing base line. ❤️🙏

Omg.....I came to watch this several times. The choir was all that and Lenny is amazing!!!!

An electrifying performance... Lenny, better than ever!!!! PRINCE. REST IN EVERLASTING PEACE Sydney, Australia

What a tribute! You can see in this how much Lenny loved Prince and his music. With all the respect to the original, this version of When doves cry is just amazing, simply amazing.

Wow. These are musicians taking a song seriously, and making it great. Amazing!!!

that's real friendship. nothing left to say there...tears.

Beautiful. I loved the ending when he turned to Princes picture and raised his guitar.

Excellent!!! Lenny you did your brother proud man. Beautiful!!

OMG, THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE

There is now a holy trinity of tributes/covers in my opinion. This one, Bilals rendition of "the Beautiful Ones" at the BET awards and D'angelo playing "Sometimes it snows in April" on the tonight show.

I've been a fan of Lenny's for a long time...

how do you give respect to an Epic Artist and Song? Bring the Mfkin CHOIR SON!! GO Lenny. This he would've loved!!

Thank you Lenny! You rocked this tribute and I thank you for the way you chose to honor the one and only, late and oh so great, Dr. Prince Rogers Nelson. Blessings on you my brother!!

I love Lenny's voice 🔥❤️

Fabulous tribute...funk and gospel. I think Prince would have approved :-)

That drummer tho.... bruh ain't no joke.

This is so dope! PRINCE would be proud!

He did that! Regardless of what anyone says. It's your opinion. But let me give you mine, lol. It's called a tribute. Not a sound alike. Lenny is Lenny. Prince is Prince. Both different & unique ; in both their own way. From the.... what normal consider normal. We need more African American artists like them. Lenny made it his own. It was from his heart, respectfully. Jimi, Prince, Tina, Michael, George Clinton, Muddy, Etta, Betty Davis. I can go back. Now days music isn't artful, nor unique. CREATE YOUR OWN SOUND! Too many people wanna be rappers, trap stars, techno, and so on. Great tribute to his friend. And he meant it. In my own opinion. Prince would have loved it. Prince was a all around. He did pop, rock, rnb, blues, alternative whatever. And did ALL very well. How many musicians can you say besides Lionel Richie did so? Bet you he could have done Country to. YOU IN REALITY COULD NOT PUT HIM IN A CATEGORY. But Different. Only one Prince. Lenny Kravitz did that! Only one Lenny. EFFE, (eternal friends forever ).

I have been and always will be a huge Prince fan........going all the way back to the old school stuff, that said, I think Lenny did a wonderful job honoring Prince.

I have never paid much attention to the work that Lenny Kravitz does so to be fair I am going to say that he is supremely talented and this rendition that he did is a masterpiece ❤️

I still cry when I hear a prince song♡

Exceptional performance.

Lenny♥♥♥ Amazing...in honor of Prince ♥

Entire team of performers here did a stupendous job

I wish their was music like this these days

With the fabulous Gail on bas, makes it even more emotional ...

This was great I have chill running through my body. Lenny you did that brother!! You made our Prince proud. Thank you for a job very well done. As always you gave a great show, we love you.💋💋💜💜💜💜💔💔😂😂😂😂I'm shedding tears of joy for the first time watching a tribute to our Prince. Thank you!!💕💕🎤🎤📖📖🙏🙏

just divine. if I could be in Lenny's shoes during this performance, I would do it the same way. much love. I loved Mr. Nelson and have nothing but love and respect for both of these true originals.

How did I miss this until now? Lenny Kravitz, Gail Ann Dorsey and a gospel choir doing a Prince number.. wonderful stuff!

Lenny killed this tribute ...wow 😱

I think Prince knew that this was the closest he'd find to a musical brother. He did the songs with expert meter. I'm absolutely sure that Prince would be proud. I'd love to hear Lenny do a prince like album. He hinted at his 5th album what he could do there. I know he can do there. These performances tell us we need to know about those 2 incredible musical brothers. Hopefully Lenny can continue to do his own fantastic music with an amount of prince in there

The entire Gospel summed up in four words... "He Paid The Price"

He did that! Missing you Prince.

💜Our hearts still cry purple in memory of you today,4/21/22.💜

Whoa Lenny Kravitz, you rocked it.

I like Lenny's rearrangements of Prince's songs! VERY tastefully and respectfully done!!

Lenny !!! Love it

Thank you Lenny for The Cross !!!

Speechless ❤️. I can see Prince’s amazing smile beaming down from the musical genius section in heaven. Rest easy Purple One. Your job here was done. And Damn you did it with total Greatness ❤️

Much love Romeo Blue ! Brother Nelson would be Proud ! Matter of fact hes smiling !

Goog job Lenny, miss Prince like hell

God damn I love the bassist and the guitarist. I had the pleasure of seeing them all live before covid👏🏾

BEAUTIFULLY DONE LENNY SHOWED LOVE AND RESPECT FOR OUR BELOVED PRINCE. MAY OUR PRINCE REST IN PEACE NO MORE PAIN OR SARROW. R.I.PPRINCEROGERNELSON.
