[b]Hello All of you folks who were lucky enough to attend the MSG 7/14 show with Sheila E and the Time.

It was truly a moving night, I felt the love ...wish I could repeat the experience once a month!!

I was really loving the acoustic set...but no playlist I've seen is complete....

He started to sing Jailhouse Rock and made a joke about being a Prince before you can be a King....he then did a non prince tune, which he said...."this was the jam, back in the day" i think he said something about being in the backseat of the car with this playing on the radio....and it was a ballady...70'ish love/relationship song.....Prince started playing it and the entire MSG crowd knew every word instinctively, i dont even think Prince kept singign...he just played the jam and we all sang it....I LOVED that song and swore Id remember it...but ive forgotten it/////WHAT WAS THAT TUNE???? ANYONE KNOW??? or has he done a similar thing at other shows....PLEASE HELP

That was Chaka Kahn's Sweet Thing. I believe the first time that he did this one with crowd participation was at the Vegas show on the 30th of Jan. That Garden show was cool with Sheila performing. I caught one of her drum sticks that she threw out to the audience...Got it autographed at the afterparty...:-)Aloha~

The song was called "Sweet Thing". It was originally done by a band called Rufus who had an (at the time) unknown singer named Chaka Khan.

I'm pretty sure it was "Sweet Thing" that you're talking about. He performed it again at the Continental Arena show on 7/18 also, and the whole audience sang it, he didn't. He said something along the lines of all the girls knowing it from high school....Now that was a great memory.....

I can't believe how many people don't know Sweet Thing! It's a classic by Chaka and was redone by Mary J. Blige a few years ago. Is everyone 15 or something?
