Freddie’s former PA Peter Freestone said: “If Freddie stayed in during the evenings he would usually ‘veg out’ and watch television… He had one video of Prince, which he forced many people to watch, sometimes over and over again. These video sessions generally occurred at two or three in the morning after Freddie and entourage returned from an evening on the town. The Prince tape was immediately put on and Freddie had sole control of the remote and his guests were subjected to Freddie’s enthusiasm for said artist again and again and again.” Despite his god-tier status in rock, Freddie Mercury also had his favorites. From songs that inspired him to the musicians he admired, he was a legend but he was also a fan. And those who worked with him revealed that he was always vocal about his admiration for Prince and how much he enjoyed and loved the latter’s 1984 semi-autobiographical film Purple Rain. He apparently liked it so much he basically forced those around him to watch it too. 💜☔

Prince was so damn good at everything that his vocals are often forgotten. But his phrasing is one of the best ever, in my opinion. So musical, and so much fun. This was the album after Purple Rain. He frustrated his label and managers when he cut the Purple Rain tour short to get on with the next album. He had also started taking serious cues from Revolution band mates Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman. They turned him on to a lot of 60s music, which resulted in this album - his psychedelic album. It was a commercial disappointment after the monster success of Purple Rain, but Prince was happy to just go to the next chapter of his career.

This was the lead single from the "Around the World in a Day" album (1985), which was under enormous pressure, coming after the mega-hit "1999" (1983) and the "Purple Rain" film and soundtrack (1984). Even though it went to #1, and this song got to #2, it was considered a bit of a disappointment at the time; a bit dense and not as radio-friendly as his previous work. This caused Prince to abandon not one, but two albums that he tried to do in 1986, before ultimately releasing the "Under the Cherry Moon" film and the "Parade" album, which was mostly, but not entirely, a soundtrack. And then in 1987, he put the scraps together and made "Sign O' The Times", which was awesome. Still, the album holds up in retrospect, and of course this song is always fine. Glad you liked it. What next? Well, as I said, "Sign O' the Times" would be my choice, but you can hardly go wrong: "Controversy", "I Would Die 4 U", "U Got the Look", "Cream", "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World", all classics Although my other choice would "Kiss", followed by Your Man, Tom Jones doing his (excellent) cover version. Keep 'em coming!

Catchy, and easy to remember. "When Doves Cry" is my favorite from him and "1999" is second.

Cannot tell you how important and special Prince was in my early years. His lyrics, his composition, his instrument skills, his band, his look, his vibe....damn!

There are no bad Prince songs, the investment he made into writing, producing, just lead to hit after hit after hit. For a change of pace how about trying the following “ Do Me Baby “, “ Scandalous” , International Lover” and lastly “ Adore”… I could name so many more. Enjoy

One of my favorites by him, is probably one of his most underrated songs, "Seven." I know you'd both love it. You should absolutely check it out.

You're not checking out enough reaction channels. Check out Just Jammin'. He reacts to whole albums of Prince that I didn't even know existed. If you're a die-hard Prince fan, you'll have fun over there.

There is a live video here on KZfaq of Prince performing at the American Music Awards in 1984 and he performed Purple Rain. It's so emotional and his guitar playing alone is worth watching! I would love to see your reaction to it! I cry each time I watch it because Prince will ALWAYS be my Forever Love! 💜💜

I think I'd call what he does is his own personal primal scream in Prince's own way! I like how the music video was made with the drawings and illustrations mixed up with the music & the band in real time.

👍 Thank you for my absolute favorite Prince song!! This video has everything: starts off funky, then the synchronized dance moves start; Prince really "sells" the song with his eyes. body language and then he hits you with a killer, "ear worm" hook in the chorus. It's a masterpiece!! I know he's feeling the love on the other side and he knows how much we miss him ❤

I was a fan of Prince from the beginning! I was a teenager in the 80's and have 1999 and Purple Rain on original vinyl that I got as Christmas gifts the years each album came out. A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to get to visit Paisley Park and tour the facility, studios, sound stage and club. It was an amazing experience that I will cherish the memory of! I love that people of your generation are showing interest and appreciation for all different types of music! You are too cute! You should watch his movies as well.
