pRINCE'S OLD OUTTAKE "We Can Work it Out"
is Prince on all instruments?
great musicianship

Bobby Z on drums, Prince everything else.

Love that "woo-weee" at 0.59

it sounds like an old MJ disco song at all. i love it!

haaaaa I was just thinking about saying something about this song

Actually I would love 2 start a thread about the early days 1976-1980 music

This song is about his new business relationship with Warner Brothers LOL interesting huh?

I think it did work out for some of the best years his formative years

at the end we hear a 'radio shout out to WB'

We Can Work It Out
Singing in his regular voice, Prince sells himself to Warner Bros. Records as the lyrics "Making music naturally, me and WB" indicate. Ironically, 20 years later, is now free from any contract with Warner Bros. It's likely he recorded this outtake after signing a contract for his first 3 albums in June, 1977.


Now that I know your name and U know mine
Ain't it just about time that we got 2gether?
We should make such beautiful music 4ever
Oh, 2gether 4ever

Put your trust in me, I'll never let U down
Cuz I know I can count on U 2 help me make it
Ain't no doubt about it
We can work it out, work it out
I know we can work it out
Work it out, work it out
Ooh wee!

CHORUS:
Hope we work it out, I hope we work it out
(Everybody sing) Hope we work it out, I hope we work it out
Hope we work it out, I hope we work it out
(Everybody sing) Hope we work it out, I hope we work it out

Makin' music naturally, me and W.B. (CHORUS)
Music 4 the young and old, music bound 2 be gold
Work it out

Hope we work it out, I hope we work it out {x2}

Hope we work it out, I hope we work it out (Can we work it out?)
Hope we work it out, I hope we work it out (I want 2 work it out)
Hope we work it out, I hope we work it out
(Everybody sing) Hope we work it out, I hope we work it out
Hope we work it out, I hope we work it out
(Everybody sing) Hope we work it out, I hope we work it out
Hope we work it out, I hope we work it out
(Everybody sing) Hope we work it out, I hope we work it out

Makin' music naturally, me and W.B.

I think it may be co-written by chris moon ???, so don't expect it to ever see an official release (plus the WB mention - although he could edit that bit out).


It time for CRYSTAL BALL II!!!!!


.....

This is one of my favorite unreleased 70's era P tunes. I love his vox and the arrangement.

Thanks for the info. Always wanted to know the background stuff on this song.
