Ride Divine I tried asking this question on NPGMC and it looks like it got deleted. What is this song? A buddy of mine has it on a mix-cd that he burned from someone else. I KNOW its Prince-related just by the sound of it. I am guessing now it was never released since the NPGMC-nazi's deleted my post...but I am just curious on what it is? Who was involved? It sounds like NPG/Symbol era but I don't recognize the singer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. | |

It's either called "Let's Do It" or "The Ride Divine"
There's a woman (don't know who) in there and Prince is also singing | |

'The Ryde Dyvine' was the b-side to the MPLS single
which was released for like 7 minutes back in 1993. | |

"Ryde Dyvine" is a track from the MPLS project. MPLS was a group put together as a showcase for Sonny T and first appeared on the December 1992 ABC special "Act II - The Ryde Dyvine" as 'The Crayons'. Singer Jana Anderson also appeared as a co-lead singer on both "Ryde Dyvine" and "Minneapolis" a track which later appeared on the 1800NEWFUNK compilation. A promo CD containing "Minneapolis" and a remix of the same plus "Ryde Dyvine" was briefly made available via 1 800 NEWFUNK. A poster of the CD cover art is still available from NPGMC, featuring artwork by Debbie McGuan, who also did the artwork for the Exodus and New Powersoul projects among other things. | |

The song was 'performed' by 'The Crayons' (an earlier incarnation of 'Minneapolis'
fronted by Sonny T) on 'The Ryde Dyvine' TV Special that Prince did to promote the  album and various associated artists in December 1992. The show
featured performances by Carmen Electra, George Clinton, Rosie Gaines and Mavis Staples, as well as a short set by Prince & the New Power Generation. | |

The Crayons opened the show with that song, and I looked everywhere for it! They should've added it to the 1-800-NEWFUNK CD. It'd be cool if NPGMC would sell a DVD of the show sometime, if they have the rights. | |

As this was an actual official(ish) release, why was it deleted from npgmc?

So this was officially released at one point? I can't figure out why my post was deleted on NPGMC. I thought maybe because it was an outtake or something. Anyway...thanks for the info! | |

Anyway...thanks for the info! or it could be because it sank to another page, and you didn't bother looking for it, therefore assuming it was deleted...  They have a search feature, you know...The Org is the short yellow bus of the Prince Internet fan community. | |

It was an official release, although good bootlegs are floating around, so be careful if you want to get one. . |

Yes, it was officially released (though only for a short period of time). It came out around the same time as the first NPG album: Goldnigga. There were 3 CD Singles released at that time, and they're all fairly hard to get hold of now. They were... Minneapolis - MPLS 1. MPLS (4:28) 2. MPLS (12 Inch Mix) (7:00) 3. The Ryde Dyvine (4:17) New Power Generation - 2gether 1. Album Mix (5:34) 2. 12 Inch Mix (6:52) 3. Interview (4:21) 4. Enlightenment (5:19) 5. Jeep Mix (5:34) 6. Instrumental (5:39) Mayte - If Eye Love U 2night 1. If Eye Love U 2night (4:20) 2. However Much U Want (Original Version)(3:33) 3. If Eye Love U 2night (Spanish Version) (4:20) | |
