Foy Vance covers Prince - Purple Rain | The Wild Honey Pie Buzzsession

Foy Vance covers the Prince classic, “Purple Rain” live in Greenpoint, Brooklyn recording studio The End. Buzzsessions are performance music videos produced by The Wild Honey Pie. With each new episode, we capture footage of our favorite bands as they record alternate studio quality versions of their songs.

Simple and classic is a formula that just works, and when we brought Northern Irish singer-songwriter Foy Vance into The End Studios in Brooklyn to record, he more than delivered. In honor of the recently deceased legend, Vance performed a heartfelt acoustic rendition of the Prince classic “Purple Rain,” along with his gorgeous original “She Burns.” Do not let the killer mustache distract you, this guy is all about the music.

Never to take away from the great late Prince " rip".. but Foy justified it with soul.

A country version of 'Purple Rain' and boy it chills me to the bone!!

Prince would be proud of your rendition, not many can do this song and create the feeling it gives when sung by Prince himself!

My 3 year old boy loves this song since he was 2. He can now sing most of it. When he was fussing I would play it and dance with him. That would calm him down. Now he asks for it by name.
