was listening 2 that the other nite and said thats a very nice hook and the song is nice also, should have gotten some air play,its on the npg lp, just one of those easy 2 remember jams that stays in the ear hole.great horns and real ones not a keuboard.

I like that tune.

Sorry but it's 1 of few P song I can't easily stand, but sometimes when I wake up my mind goes on playin'it, and playin'it, and playin'it...

I would like to DIG a hole and put this song in it.

I dig the whole album.

I think the song is hot!!

me like it too, especially the 'rap' on the end, my picture, my hat, my clothes, my balls are round and round...

(Anyone like Masters at work's new album "our time is coming"?)

Me too!

I enjoy the whole New Power Soul album. It created a vibe that Prince had never developed before. Even though it doesn't all work, there's still a lot of inspirational music there.

Mind you, I'm the only person in the world who actually likes 'Freaks On This Side'.

Oh no, i like it too. the horns, the fucked up voices at the end ("god is love/ love is god/ simple and plain"), other lyrics ("congratulations/ you're in the new power generation") and p's singing ofcourse. damn, it's hot.

i loved newpowersoul too. When You Love Somebody is one of those songs I kind tolerated at first, but then, like so many other Prince songs, it grew on me. Now I appreciate it more. Sticks with you.
And yes, love the jamming at the end ... " 'cause a brotha gettin' down here lately!'' you KNOW?!
And he WAS gettin' down on NPS.

It's one of the few Prince songs I don't care for.
