I used to routinely skip over "Free" until a few years ago. It popped in my head today & I just had to hear it. I played it over & over & over, all day! I'm just now realizing how great this song is - so simple, nice build w/ an emotional release, great screams @ the end, the quiet tinkle of the keys @ the very end...

Makes me glad knowing his catalogue is so deep I can rediscover something that's 20+ years old & still dig on it like it's new

Your turn: what song have you rediscovered most recently?

Last year I rediscovered Private Joy. That song can make me unbelievably happy.


As a matter of fact; I am going to play it RIGHT NOW!

The Beautiful Ones. Songs from PR get played so much on radio stations in MPLS, I typically don't reach for that ablum. What a shame.

Clorine Bacon Skin

Glam Slam....Really Great Song!!!

wanna melt with U

I re-discovered "IT". Funky as hell!

Le Grind!!! excellent!!!

Letitgo
Prince come
I recently rediscoverd the entire cd
WOW!

It's Gonna Be Lonely. I listen to that song everyday now. I don't think I have missed a single day listening to it. I love how he says, "Betcha thatcha didn't know that in my dreams/you are the star./The only bummer is that you always want to leave-vuh/who do you think your are" -- the way he says LEAVE gets me every time!!

Also, 1999 -- I could hardly listen to that song when I was little. It always scared me. My father would play it all the time. But now, I listento it and I like it. I finally understand the lyrics.

I have been hammering this song recently. I love it!

I don't know why, but when I listen to it, I see Leroy Johnson from the Kids From Fame dancing around in his nylon shorts and vest, twirling around in the air. Debbie Allen is banging her stick whilst Bruno Martelli plays his synthesisers.

A lot of songs,

Something in the Water Does Not Compute.
All the critics love you in NY

mountains.

We-ell, I have rediscovered: WHEN WE'RE DANCING CLOSE AND SLOW -- i think this is the title.

NOTHING can beat the way he says: tell me, baby, are we here alone!!

THAT "alone" gets to me!!! HE IS TOO CUTE!

Nothing by Prince recently....I go thru phases with things sometimes...it's not The Kid's turn yet. He'll get me soon enough.

You know, I always ignored this song cos I was too excited to get to Let's Work"

Then I met Moonbeam at the Xenophobia Celebration and he kept talkin bout the song, so I finally gave it proper attention. I've been in love ever since (with both the song AND moonbeam, lol)

"Extraordinary"

Come On

Didn't like it when it came out, but it just registered with me a few weeks ago. The Camille-esque vocals, the slide guitar. Diggin it.

Anna Stesia, I always loved it, but over the years I slowly forgot about it.
The last week or two I have played it everyday and have been stunned by how beautiful it is, all over again.

Great song! One of his most under-rated, at least in my own humble thinking.

Tamborine. I never dug this song when i was a kid. but now DAMN is it funky.

..... Let's see,,,,, Life can be so Nice and The Question of U .....

Yep, with you on that one, listened to it on the One Night Alone CD the other day and now can't stop playing that version (lovesexy version too hard to find straight off without it being tracked!!). Also think the live version is actually the better version.

Probably gotta say all the Graffiti Bridge Tracks and well, I have been listening to Come...

The whole album is full of under-rated gems. If Newpower Soul was never released and turned up as a bootleg, fans would love it.
