Sitting here nodding my head to this jam...which comes thee absolute closest to almost being a Prince song to me ever...

...we all know it...heard it countless times...ladies (and some men wink) have drooled over the video...

D'angelo's "Untitled (How Does It Feel?)"

I heard this song on the radio just now after I dunno how long and I wonder if and when Prince heard it was he nodding his head to it as hard as I just was. cool

I doubt it. He may have smashed his head through a window to allow his emotional pain a physical release, though.
Imagine you were an artist who had painted a beautiful landscape and you were recognised for this unique artwork by crtitics, fellow artists and the public alike.
Now, imagine some 'hip new' artist coming along just a few years later and painting the same picture and maybe swapping where the trees were and adding a couple of extra seagulls to the sky. Still the same essence, spark, but a complete fabrication and ripoff without individual merit.
And indeed, as impressive a shadow as this song casts, the creative process behind the act makes me nauseous in the bowels of my belly. It's not a 'tribute' - it's a clone. And we all know what happened to Dolly The Sheep.

I guess that does have kind of a Prince "feel" when you think about it.

Sounds nothing like Prince to me.

The absolute closest Prince sounding song I have ever heard is "Something About You" by Ebonee Webb from 1981. Same musical style and almost identical falsetto. It came out a few weeks before "Controversy" and everyone was thinking it was Prince's new song at the time.

Prince used that song as the template for his own duet with
Angie Stone " U Make My Sunshine" .After
D'Angelo mentioned in his Voodoo album liner notes about how he reckoned
Prince was running on auto-pilot for the last few years and made that song as a tribute to Prince's Controvery era balladeering , Prince took it as a challenge
and remade "Untitled" into the (much-better) U Make My Sunshine. Listen to the
2 songs , musically the resemblance is obvious cool

I agree, back when they used to play it on the radio I used to half expect to hear Prince chime in on a verse or two.
