I remember the radio station premiered this song for the first time... I was like "WOW", no bass & its still funky.... The guitar solo...MAN!!!!! He & The Revolution went into overdrive on this one.... Or he probably did it himself.... Either way, its a classic... Like I'm always saying: Funk Can Do Airthang..... 
So says The Pill....  [Edited 3/25/05 16:23pm] | |

From hearing bootlegs from the 1982-1985 period alone, Prince was in an unstoppable groove and I know he would have done something to catch the mainstream's eye in one way or another. Having said that, Purple Rain should always get props because it's an incredible album that has really stood the test of time IMHO. It's an album that still has the world's attention just as it did in 1984. If any musician wants to crossover, this is one of the albums to use a reference on how to do it and do it right. that's not what i meant, though. most people tend to think that he kicked all that shit off with pr, but technically it isn't so. my bad handsclaps. i see where you're coming from  I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |
