I loved both songs when they came out and still do.
But when I put together a comp. of tracks for my ride, I usually go for The Time over Sheila E. "777-9311" has that fat-ass bass line. I look like an idiot when that comes on, bobbin' my head in traffic. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

I love both songs but in my opinion The Glamourous Life is the winner. I think it's aged the best. And if Shelia didn't do this song at the concert I would have been disappointed. I Love this freakin song!!! Ah!!! | |

Glamorous Life is the Jam!  ~~~~~~~~~~~

Of course, 777-9311 is no sloppy second. 
Tell the truth, how many of ya'll actually tried to dial that number when the song 1st came out? ~~~~~~~~~~~

That phone number actually belonged to Dez Dickerson in real life... Practical joker Prince decided to turn it into the title of a song and, afterwards, all hell broke loose at the Dickerson household because people wouldn't stop calling Dez's number...
I still enjoy 'Grace' even more than '777-9311', though. "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |

It difficult to pick cause they are both so funky. If I had to choose I'd pick The Glamorous Life, cause it has so many layers...the latin feel with the Prince MN sound which still sounds great today. Sheila E is da bomb and that video clip was sooooo cool. When I was a kid I wanted to be Sheila E...she was so glamorous, had pefect hair but played those drums like nobody's business! IMO she was the best Prince drummer period! [This message was edited Sat Jul 27 17:05:30 PDT 2002 by fonkywonder] | |
