Shall We Dance -Brownmark

Just discovered this little gem on NPG Audio # 7 and I can't stop playing it.
It reminds me of a neptune track for some reason, with the hand claps in the back and synth loop. That bass line is not ba either. Any of u guys feeling this track?
1 over Jordan...the greatest since

It's a cool song. Got a nice beat. Pretty addictive.

Great song. Brown Mark is another one of my favorites from the Prince camp. His work with Mazarati and Lakeside was great also.

Did Prince write or produce it or both?

It was on his second album - 'Good Feeling' - easy to find! Shall We Dance is, from memory, written and produced by Prince.

Incidentally the album also includes Bang Bang, which although it wasn't written by Prince does include him on backing vocals.

Oh, and did I mention that the rest of the album is sh*t..??!!

GREAT underrated sexy/mystical P song !!! would have sounded great with P on vocals on "Batman". The drum programming is just AMAZING, as are the ones from "The Future", "Trust" & "Lemon Crush".

Prince wrote it & plays more or less all instruments on it with a little help from Levi.

P at his best !!!

BrownMark's first album )which is almost never mentioned on here) was tight. Bang Bang was the best song from the second one. Shall We Dance was cool, but Bang, bang trumped it in my opinion. He had a couple of other nice jams on the album. Its not a throwaway, but Mazarati's album proved that when Brownmark wants to, he can rival anybody out there in the funk rock department.

I recently found a used copy of this cd and been listening to this song repeatedly.

Prince sang BANG BANG, but his vocals were taken off and replaced with Brown Mark's.
