At 18 years of age she wrote one of the most iconic guitar parts in rock history. Amazing.

Thank you Wendy, for keeping Prince's genius alive. Hard to believe it's been 8 years since he left us

Wendy was Prince's spirit animal. She truly helped push Prince's 80's popularity. Wendy is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. She and Lisa have penned some of the most popular TV and movie scores. I wish she would get more recognition but I do know I love her and I guess that's enough.

I was 11 years old in 1984 when PURPLE RAIN was released! Such a wonderful time! Thank you Prince & The Revolution for the wonderful music! I still enjoy the music today at 52 years young!😊

For anyone who doesn’t know, that intro is extremely hard to play the way she plays it. <br>She’s a virtuoso.

If "The Purple One" had a signature song it was Purple Rain? Never a dry eye in my house whenever that song is played now; either the original or a cover. And no one covers it more perfectly and wonderfully than the woman who helped write & create it: the beautiful, talented, Wendy Melvoin.

It feels like the torch has been passed. This was not The Revolution. This is Wendy. She is now thee person, to play Purple Rain. Her solo is on point. No one will ever be as great as Prince, but I sure am glad there's a Little Girl Wendy.
