"5 Women"

That song to me is just so incredibly FUNKEE!! Everytime I listen to it I am

amazed. I think that song has been slept on. Anybody agree? and do you have

other Prince songs that are incredibly funky but don't get recognized as such?

I also LOVE this song! It has always reminded me of a cross between B.B. King's "The Thrill is Gone" and Al Green's "Love and Happiness".

As far as other funky songs that don't get recognition, probably most everything on The Vault album, especially "It's About That Walk" and "Sarah".

Yeah, I keep hearing he gave it to Joe Cocker but I don't think Joe could do

it any better than the version P does on The Vault. Amazing song, he even has

the instruments perform in a way where it sounds like they are sad all the

way through also!! cool

It sounded almost identical to Prince's version.

It's missing the horns that are on The Vault version though.

Yes, especially the BB King reference, its the same chord progression. I always play these two songs on the piano.
