When The Lights Go Down

Hi all -

I got this song off NPGMC. Can anybody fill me in on the history of this song? I really like it.

What other songs (by Prince) would you consider to be in the same style/genre?

Looking forward to your comments smile

It was officially released on the album, "The Vault ... Old Friends 4 Sale" released in 1999, but apparently recorded about 7 or so years earlier.

I don't think it's ever been officially available for download from NPGMC, although I appreciate the track could have been streamed in the Reflection or VIP rooms.

Hmmm... the only info I could find was that it was recorded between December '91 - December '92.

It's kind of unique in the Prince cannon. If you like it check out the whole album The Vault... Old Friends 4 Sale (that's where it comes from). Most of the tracks are similar laid back jazzy songs (although most aren't as loose as "When The Lights Go Down")

"Willing and Able" comes to mind when I try to think of anything similar to that song.
