Sometimes It Snows In April (Live) by The Revolution | Prince Tribute at B.B. King Blues Club NYC

Watch The Revolution perform a deeply moving, acoustic rendition of "Sometimes It Snows in April" live at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in New York City on April 28, 2017. Recorded during their emotional reunion tour following Prince’s passing, this high-quality live footage captures an unforgettable night of music, remembrance, and communal healing. 💬 Wendy’s Story Before launching into the song, Wendy Melvoin shares an incredible, chilling coincidence with the audience: Prince, Wendy, and Lisa Coleman wrote and recorded "Sometimes It Snows in April" many years prior on April 21st—the exact date Prince passed away in 2016. Wendy reflects on how the band uses these performances as a shared space for grief and celebration ("our own little Shiva"), keeping Prince's spirit and standard of artistic excellence alive in all of them. 🎶 The Crowd & Atmosphere As Wendy sings and plays guitar, the room transforms into a choir. You can hear the entire NYC audience singing along to every word in reverent unity, turning a bittersweet acoustic track into a powerful, heart-wrenching tribute to their icon. 📜 Song History & Background Original Release: Closing track on Prince and The Revolution’s 1986 album Parade (the soundtrack to the film Under the Cherry Moon). Songwriting: Co-written by Prince, Wendy Melvoin, and Lisa Coleman in April 1985 at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles. Themes: Originally written about the death of Prince’s movie character, Christopher Tracy, the song has since become an enduring anthem of love, loss, and remembrance for Prince fans worldwide. ⏱️ Key Moments 00:00 – Wendy Melvoin’s speech & story about April 21st 02:28 – Performance begins ("Sometimes It Snows in April") 04:55 – Chorus & crowd singing along 07:22 – Emotional final verse & closing chords "Sometimes it snows in April Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad Sometimes I wish life was never ending And all good things, they say, never last And love, it isn't love until it's past" Facebook:   / therevolutionmusic   Twitter: @Stillagroup •   / stillagroup   E-mail: therevolutionaccess@gmail.com #Prince #TheRevolution #SometimesItSnowsInApril #WendyAndLisa #PrinceTribute #BBKingNYC #ParadeAlbum #LiveMusic #PrincePaisleyPark #PrinceRogersNelson
