I was just recently in the cinema watching BlackkKlansman by Spike Lee. And then suddenly, after those really shocking last minutes of the film (sequences I saw back then when they happened), when credits came, this song started with his voice. Sitting in the dark cinema with tears rolling down my cheeks. What a genius of Spike Lee to get this song for his film. Missing Prince but then again he is always there <3

[motorcitydolls]

Such a broad vocal range and the smooth ease of the transitions are amazing. Those low notes are so rich and full; it’s unbelievable that he also has a real falsetto. A very rare gem <3

Only Prince can make his sniffles sound like timeless music.😊🎶🎹
Damn....you left us too soon😢🎶🎹

[v.b]

What a voice! He is perfection. I can't think of many artists who can sing like this. I ADORE Prince.

[daverenick]

I was never into his music much....but listening to this is a mind changer, this is some great stuff

[theresastarmanwaitinginthe]

His voice... my god his voice. Such a great voice.

[skygazer]

Prince using the vast range of his voice.. Thank for sharing

[EllisonMusic]

One of the craziest things about this is realizing he's doing all of this amazing awe inspiring vocal work while also completely torching the piano 🔥🔥🔥

[yahwehsgirl]

This version is right up there with Arethas good Lawd Mary aint weeping no more shes shouting for joy Amen and Amen

[JJ-xcho]

The most prolific artist of all time
I miss him every day

[mike.hidalgo]

Damn. What a musician Prince was. A grand master of his craft.

[henrigreene]

I knew when they opened his vault and listened to all the unreleased music he recorded this would happen. Even in all he accomplished he was still underrated.

[pamela]

Happy Birthday Prince💚💜💝 May your music continue to inspire future generations!!!

[shagw]

I go back to James Brown, Jackie Wilson, thru Michael, etc., but on terms of the total package, this dude is unrivaled!!!

[SuperJS]

I listen mostly to metal. This song just moves me. Shivers down my spine. I heard it from the movie black kkklansman. Prince’s voice and soul just freaks me out. Rip

[wendileona]

Prince fans, new and old, should just let things flow. Let this come with no complaints. It's beautiful. Even if say these recordings may have already existed as bootlegs before or if Camille and other works are out there, just let them live. Prince is living through these works, its his gift left for us. They are all an excuse to listen to Prince and internalize his soul. In other less hyperbolic words, stop complaining. --- Gary

[YoungAngryGirl]

he grooved the whole world with his irresistible funk but... when he sang.
God, when he sang.
Time stopped then and stops now.
His piano & voice are miracles turned into music.

[saiyanleague]

For anyone new to the royal Prince. That is him singing and YES... that is him playing the Piano

[tracycole]

You are the greatest of all time! We love you and miss you Prince Rogers Nelson X

Happy Birthday to the Greatest Artist of All Time! 🎊🎉🎈
