If you could watch one song recording in the studio... Which would it be?

For me, Eye Love U, But Eye Don't Trust U Anymore would be a facinating watch.

Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain.

Any of his upbeat Funky ones such as FunkNRoll, Delirious, and so on. I just get the feeling it would be awesome to see him get into his groove while recording those.

Or "Do Me, Baby". Didn't he get the engineers to start the tape rolling them ushered them out and locked the door behind them? On second thought, I don't want to be there for that one! ha ha.

"If we cannot make babies..."

"Maybe we can make a record?"

"Sure."

*ushers the sound engineers out*

"Uh, where are the sound engineers?"

"I just want to remember this moment forever"

*shrugs* "Ok."

Alexa de Paris. I want to know what made him so happy that day.

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

I would love to have been there for When Doves Cry. To see him play that guitar opening and keyboard run at the end. He never played those parts live so no one has seen him do it except whoever was there in the studio.

"Wally"

But someone asked this question a month or two ago at most. My answer then was "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker", just to see the look on Susan Roger's face, and his face, when they realize the whole high-end of the board was out, ergo the muffled lower tones in the song overall.

Or if you were there when he was recording "Forever In My Life" would you tell him he came in late and threw the backing vocals off? I love that song the way it is but I've always been curious to see how much of a difference it would make if he had come in at the right time.

Yeah, that would have been another, for sure. I mean, I think it probably would have been a lot less interesting had all the vocals lined up. As with most artists, the mistakes are sometimes what makes a song more interesting, and historic.

Wally, The Love We Make, Sign o' the Times, and the list goes on. If we are talking albums, the Sign o' the Times is the one album I would have loved to see him record because of all the happy accidents that caused many songs to sound like the way they did.

I agree with you, FunkNRoll would be incredible, I imagine the energy would be contageous too.

Dance where y'are, just groove y'all.

The recording of "How Come You Don't Call Me" was so much fun according to the recording engineer. He was a little tipsy and in a good mood. Would definitely love to be a bug in that wall.
