What is yo favorite PIANO solo by Prince???

LOL Its not like he's the best pianist in the world but he's sho nuff the NAUGHTIEST, just check out the 'Let's go crazy' pre4mance in PR and the opening credit in UTCM(Which is my favorite piano solo ever). 4 the love of god he's the son of a JAZZ PIANIST and if you haven't noticed, the brotha is strongly influenced by his father.

See, I'm a PIANIST myself and I work in a Poetry Cafe down in Harlem, I'll be playing 'Under the cherry moon' 'Vinus de millo' 'Father's song' 'God' and 'Alex de paris'. My boss had no idea what I'm playing but she liked 'em alright, she be tellin a sistah later to play these again and others if I have.

So, if you know more PIANO solo(s) by the man give me a list. I would be thankfull 4eva

Where in Harlem do you play? So the NYC peeps can come check you out.

"When The Lights Go Down"...?
"Power Fantastic"...?

Hi, adorable2

I'm not sure whether Prince has played either of those song live in concert, or not...actually, those just are piano pieces that I like which I thought Harlepolis might like to play in the cafe...

adorable2 said:

He played it Power Fantastic the NYC soundcheck (can't remember if he did the piano party)... but he played both of them on piano at the Celebration the second night.

I only play 'Power fantastic' when its getting late and PPl are getting ready to go home.

Have you tried "Question Of U"? He used to play this as a piano peice during his concerts.

The demo is f'n awesome, great piano work, I like it better than the album version, it's found on the net.

Another few you could try out is Purple Rain like the movie version, Condition of the Heart, Free, Beautiful Ones, Alexa De Paris, God, Sweet Baby, Damn U, Sometimes it Snows.

Some of these have vocals but you can still play them instrumental and they would kick ass.

You gotta play Condition of the Heart...

the best piano performance
I've heard is when he plays
"how come U don't call me anymore?"
on his yamaha stage piano
on the 1999-tour.
that shit is so funky
it gives me the chill...

I love the fact that this song have a DARK feel in it(The air, the piano, the echos at the end)

I really like the piano version of "An Honest Man" Prince plays in the beginning of "Under the Cherry Moon" movie.

Also, how about "Empty Room"?

I'd love to come and listen to you play, except I live in LA. Glad to hear you're getting positive feedback.

Have fun!

Wow that is not 'An honest man', that is 'UTCM'?? Altho I'm not sure!

Man, this opening credit is THE BEST scene in that movie and the reason is his piano playing. He gets naughty at the end and thats why I love it.

'Purple Rain' see the movie.
