I adore (no pun intended) the version he did on the ONA alone tour - good lord that was something truly special. touched

Personally I wish Prince could write more sad songs like sometimes it snows in april. So if I had to pick one slow, it has to be this one. I also think that all those romantic, falsettosung ballads on Emanctipation made that album so boring.
I believe that sex is a beautiful thing between two people. Between five, it's fantastic.

My first thought was "Slow love" because I immediately thought of him singing it on the Sign of the Times video. What a performance!! smile

The Beautiful Ones!
But I think 90% of Prince' ballads are on the same high level, unlike his uptempo songs.

"I Love U But I Don't Trust U Anymore" is a very good sad song.
