Yes, they do.

From the heart of Minnesota here comes the Purple Yoda.

What he still IS.

Some of us do. I have been in love with Prince since high school. Trust me, it's been many years. I have seen him in concert so many times and this is what I miss the most. RIP💜

... The Purple Yoda, in fact. ; )

i dont think 'Underrated' is quite the right word to describe Prince. He was rated quite highly while he was alive. He appeared or been written about in every mag that exists or existed. Guitar mag, Drums mag, keyboard mag, piano mag, Bass Mag, but I am with totally in your corner. People will never fly that high again. He deserved the wealth & accolades and we'll be talking about him for decades to come. The Purple Jupiter Symphony.

AWESOME 👍🏽

Underrated is the most overused word. The older generations appreciate his music. However, the younger generations simply don't care to know Prince or his music. I don't think they're even aware.

Oh They realize it. But, they don't want to encourage his deeds in the mainstream. But, its okay. Because his true friend do that anyway. He will be seen if they can help it. Friend meaning his Fans. That's how Prince referred to us.

What an insightful comment -- thank you! It's a blues song, but not a cover or an homage (as most blues songs are today). Charley Paton or Son House would have loved Sign O' the Times -- it's just good, creative, innovative blues songwriting.

I have to admit that Suzanne Rogers explaining how he recorded his vocals on a very basic track and then the guitar to answer and emphasize, made me realize how much this is truly a blues song. The chords in this song, though stretched out, should give that away, obviously. The use of synts and samplers, and overall wild arrangements (in other songs) may obscured it perhaps. But I get that this blues approach is very much how he approached music, not just in this song. Thank you for pointing that out😊

I like Purple Rain Prince sing that very good I Love it always play his CD in my car I like also the movie Sign of Times

Believe it! He was a musical genius. I miss him so much. May be REST IN POWER 💜🖤💜

Still not over his death.

REMEMBER Remember America: It is the same reckless big Pharma CARTELS, and their ALEC & Trump Republican cronies peddling their super chilled and yet unproven COVID19 vaccines on everyone, who recklessly killed Prince and millions of others with their GREED for opioid profits! NEVER forget THAT! 😊😷🤗😘😍 Godless Best, A.E. Projectheureka LLC;

@@Projectheureka , WORD!!!

Only he could do that. No one had (and won´t ever have) such remarkable, insane vocal range as Prince had. That is not an opinion, that is THE FACT!

His music was the soundtrack of my life

Sometimes it snows in April

@@mknightyt Yes, mine too

I still have hard time listening to his music😢

And love isn’t love until it’s passed 👑

We need a full album breakdown

his numbers havent done well for whatever reason

@@AC-mp7cx It has actually, his albums sales are doing good specially in the past two years, the Prince Estate has made a lot in these years. Prince was #2 on the Highest Earning Passed Celebs list for Forbes at the end of 2021. The Michael Jackson Estate fell off, the Prince Estate is higher than them now. The MJ Estate is at #3, and I wonder why because they weren’t releasing anything.

@@PrinceLeaker I dont think that is true. look I respect Prince, he is aight. But Michael was the biggest celeb ever, and he is dozens of millions of sales ahead of prince, always will be. Respect to all

@AC Prince records since death has been in the upper tier. Especially the post death releases. All have went gold or better in physical releases. Sounds like your another sassy hater.

He may never be forgotten. I hope people appreciate him more. Because if they do, that is a good sign that there is still hope for this (or next) generation.

She said that every day for 4 years was something exciting. I bet that can't be said for most recording artists.

yes he could make music all alone and no one else could do that but his music alone was top 50

I agree prince was like that .His controversy album was my entrance to prince. His purple rain movie was ..what can I say or discuss? Michael Jackson 's entry to movies was Ben. Madonna had a movie with Sean Penn. Some wanna be Madonna movie. Prince no 1.

Better and More Talented than Beethoven.

@HEAR DIFFERENT REAL TALK!💯💯 SOTT is a Timeless Song. . .

I think it's mixed. The events he alludes to in the song do make it feel dated, i.e. rocket ships exploding and people dying of aids and needles, etc. Yet the underlying tone of concern for the those troubled times is quite relevant today since we are experiencing our own collective existential angst. In that way, it's relatable....

Susan was the key

I'd be more surprised if it was the opposite. It's almost like he wanted to be a woman at times.

not the best to ever do it

@AC Please seek help. Let ppl have their opinion, especially over a great talent like Prince. Geesh

@@AC-mp7cx Prince in the other had all his concerts were different there was always something new prince was trying he wasn't afraid to go out the box he wasn't afraid to try new things Prince concerts was always new and exciting and fun and how he really interact with his audiences and had them singing along with him or prince would just have the audiences sing with him and Prince would have alot of his audiences to come on stage to dance with him and his audiences would go wild with being on the stage with him i never seen MJ have any of his audiences go up on stage and dance with him and MJ FAKE A$$ Audiences doing all that fake SH*** Falling out Crying and Carrying on with that nonsense

@@AC-mp7cx AND I WILL SAY IT AGAIN YOU ARE ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION AND I AM ENTITLED TO MY OPINION AND THATS HOW IT WORKS PERIOD

No one has anything different to say

@@lampkindickerson1424 oh we do

@Ac once again your caught being a sassy hater

It's really hard to write a great album because there has to be consistently a narrative so to to it on a double album is just god level only pink Floyd The wall .thats the only two great double albums

Controversy album.

it sold horribly

@@eleanormedina6703 still feel sign of the times is the best . Enjoy controversy

@@AC-mp7cx sales are not indicative of greatness . Purple rain is prince highest selling album and far from his greatest , that is from prince own lips .

@@DrexelRivers So his albums just flopped and u thin that doesn't matter. Good for you

Lmao the song is timeless. NYT is trying to exploit it like everything else. If you knew anything about Prince you would know what's actually happening according to the NYT has zero to do with Prince's words. Some of you are so pathetic. So obvious you don't listen to Prince past Purple Rain and 1999. Clowns

We do,yes. Some up and comers are here. Obviously our generation would be critical of "new". Myself included. There are some surprises out here

Another song with idea of "things are falling apart so let's party" is a song by John Legend ft. Brandy - Quickly kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsqBhMJmmrC6fXU.html

The next one will be violet

Lmao why don't you go learn a thing or two about Prince before you post your stupidity?

@@heatherlacovara4601 . Exactly.

You act like this is a GOOD thing? We had terrible tragedies this year, that are still going on and you think that if Prince was alive today he would write about it again? He has been there, done that. You either listened to what he had to say through his music decades ago, or you ignored it. Either way, the song remains the same, as does our current sign of the times. Sign O' The Times was not a generational song. It is timeless. There is nothing new he could say that he hasn't already said/sang about.

Prince WAS/IS his own genre.

My daughter ❤ little Red corvette.

MJ is

@@sannikemi368 MJ is the greatest entertainer, not musician.

I’ll die on that same hill. Prince was the most talented human in our lifetime. Cars like that don’t pass you everyday.

You will not die alone, and sorry, MJ does not take that title.

@@sannikemi368 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes

Yes, " " is the best song! 😂

Rest in Purple, fake one

michael was the most prolific

@@AC-mp7cx Both

It had a video. They’re showing the video in this clip. It was a lyric video.

@@suzeesix 💋🍒💋I think he means a standard video with a storyline. Also Prince didn’t want to make a video for this song, it was the record label that put that together. Videos back then were used for advertising, so they felt the song needed to have one...it didn’t.🍒💋🍒

@@purpleflowers699 Music videos are still used for advertising. The whole point is having something to watch when the music is being played on TV. No TV station wants to broadcast an empty screen. I remember thinking the video was revolutionary as it featured animated computer graphics which I had never seen in a music video before.

I'm going to speak in spanish El no habla de música. El no habla acerca de la humanidad. El no pretende hacer sociología de libro. El únicamente necesitó sentirse querido ( que no tiene nada que ver con ser querido) Desde mi tremenda ignorancia, me atrevo a decir que su hermana era la Persona que entendía su fondo, de lo que me alegro, pero llegar a entender a una persona con AA CC es muy difícil, por más que los amemos.

Disculpa, esto no era una respuesta a tu comentario. Me equivoqué cuando empecé a postearlo

*YES*

Same here

Me too!! I’ve been trying to learn it for years.

A combination of technique, and innovative use of guitar pedals.
