I call him " BY ALL OBJECTIVE STANDARDS " because people love to get in their feelings, sales and popularity. There are levels and music can (like it or not) can be broken down into categories of musicality. I tell MJ folks this ain't a bank audit nor synchronized dancing, this is the creative process of making music and you wouldn't believe how many people are willing to discount playing 27 different instruments. People that can play are a small minority and people who can't always have the most to say.

Thanks, I had never seen that video and rediscovering something here. I saw him 5 times live but it was not enough to see everything!

WHAT A GIFT TO THE WORLD OF MUSIC, THERE WILL NEVER B ANOTHER N THIS LIFETIME

When I first discovered that piano medley, I couldn't stop smiling. I just rewatched it a few days ago. Like you, I return to it often. Don't give up on learning to play piano. I'll soon be 56 and it's still on my To Do list even if I never become 1/10000th as good as Prince.

I love this medley so much and often watch it, too. It was great to hear your perspective on it. I JUST saw that Quincy clip for the first time today and was baffled. What on earth is he hearing??? I’m sure you’ve seen the soundcheck where he’s playing Summertime. I love watching that one as well. It’s so amazing and it’s SOUNDCHECK!!! He’s calling out notes and talking to people and still playing that beautiful song. Simply the best to ever do it!!! Thank you!! 💜💜💜

And this is the reason why Prince is called the Mozart of music. I agree with the comment people are more impressed with high selling records impresses them more than a multi talent real true artist.

Ive watched that whole concert it was amazing. Prince is definitely the G.O.A.T

we call this the Mozart or Prince effect in musical 21st century matters

This is absolutely breathtaking in how he literally becomes one w/the instrument and his confidence in playing. It’s soooo funny how you posted this content today because I thought of you yesterday when I came across a video titled : “The Little Prince : Footage Unearthed Of Superstar At Age 11”. I was shocked to see that was indeed Prince. If you haven’t seen it , you might wanna check it out 😊. Great content as usual 😃👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Oh, you should really check out Prince at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2009 (2 shows) and 2013 (3 shows) absolutely mind blowing.

The genius of music

I thank you for talking About.

Prince shook up the game and Q definitely was not feeling him. He had so much autonomy it threatened guys like Quincy. Him and Michael were always reaching out to do something because they were trying to peep his process. We are the World and every other reach out were attempts to "son" him and Prince wasn't having it.

I saw this tour on Halloween 1988. Best birthday gift ever (my birthday is October 13) I saw new edition that month too!

The Parade album / era is my favorite as well! I love this version of Strange Relationship.

If you think Prince had a Sly Stone vibe on that jam. Check out the similarities between "Forever In My Life by Prince" vs "Everyday People by Sly." 🤔 There's no bout a doubt it. +Peace, Funk & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend+ 🤘😉🤘

If you love this then listen to Condition of the heart

When you said Sly Stone on Strange Relationship ending, I got a hint of Ray Charles. Thank you so much for this upload.
