:*: :*: Anniversary of 1999! :*: :*: On this day in February 1983, a fun and sassy double album called "1999" was released !
Since then, many have laughed and cried, made love and danced all through the night with this music as the backdrop to our lives. Dear Prince, thank u 4 sharing your gift of beautiful music with the world.  "All of me  give 2 thee down at your feet ...
The reassurance in your rhythm speaks 2 me." -------------------------------------------------------- "I wanna hold U, wrap U up in lace. And I wanna kiss U, kiss U all over your face." |

I really do love this album. My second fav album ever after Purple Rain. It makes you think, dance, cry, and smile. An early masterpiece. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Sorry to spoil your party,  but the **1999** album was officially released on October 27, 1982. However, the single for "Little Red Corvette" was released on February 9, 1983. I was alive at the time that is why the date sounded weird  to me.
Do not stop celebrating; it is one of Prince's dance/funk masterpieces.  |

The only Prince album to have the same single released twice within a year -- "1999" was both the first and third release from this album. | |
