You just confirmed rdhull's suspicions.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

...but the original Charade version still stands on top.

What Clare Fisher added was awful, proving that geniuses sometimes just don't nail it.

As for the rehearsal, it's good the hear him with a modest voice again.

For once he spare us the useless vocal in-betweens ("Hu !", "Mm-Mmh", and such...), this bad habit our brains have to deal with on his recent albums.

I dont know who all performed on the original outside of Prince Lisa & Wendy but that original cant be touch

but i do enjoy this live rendition of his 1999 version

What makes you think that W&L performed on the original?

The wooh is on the one!

I don't know if performed did arrangements or what is the correct term but Prince did...

PRINCE TALKS

ROLLING STONE (1985)

Prince is fiddling with the tape deck inside the T-Bird. On low volume comes his unreleased "Old Friends 4 Sale," an arrow-to-the-heart rock ballad about trust and loss. Unlike "Positively 4th Street" -- which Bob Dylan reputedly named after a nearby Minneapolis block -- the lyrics are sad, not bitter. "I don't know too much about Dylan," says Prince, "but I respect him a lot. 'All Along the Watchtower' is my favorite of his. I heard it first from Jimi Hendrix."

"Old Friends 4 Sale" ends, and on comes "Strange Relationships," and as-yet-unreleased dance tune. "Is it too much?" asks Prince about playing his own songs in his own car. "Not long ago I was driving around L.A. with [a well-known rock star], and all he did was play his own stuff over and over. If it gets too much, just tell me."

An ignition turns. "Wait," calls Prince, remembering something. He grabs a tape off the T-Bird seat and yells to his father, "I got something for you to listen to. Lisa [Coleman] and Wendy [Melvoin] have been working on these in L.A." Prince throws the tape, which the two female members of his band have mixed, and his father catches it with one hand. Nelson nods okay and pulls his car behind his son's in the alley. Closely tailing Prince through North Minneapolis, he waves and smiles whenever we look back. It's impossible to believe that the gun-toting geezer in Purple Rain was modeled after John Nelson.

Not necessarily the tape with of4s, is it? "He grabs a tape".

I would say it is, especially since Strange Relationships W&L pull out the vault to rework, and he had those 2 working on a lot of the song that would have and were on the Parade album

The strings those chords heard at the start and throught especially sound like Lisa's touch

So this is the same guy who at the same time puts out R'n'R Affair as a single.

The Gemini nature of the guy has overcomed.

The Man is schizophrenic, that's official.

R&R is just horrible lol

?? maybe we're discussing different versions? The original is basically piano, bass and drums, isn't it? The second version features strings and horns, but I thought those were arranged by Clare Fischer in mid-late 1985.

Which songs did W&L actually work on for the Parade album and what did they specifically contribute to those song? Anyone knows for sure?

Awesome version. It's amazing that he can do this quality stuff but not release an album of new music which is at least similarly good in arrangement and performance.

If it is directed at Sheila, it's both a little sad and a little juvenile. Still an amazing performance.

I think it's a great reworking, and nice to hear real horn arrangements. Funny moment reining in the bass when it starts going for a walk, "Watch it Gouche!"
