The Good Life

This video is so leaving me witha lot of questions...

What year? album? is this song from

Who is on lead vocals?

Was this ever aired on TV?

Is it just me or does Tommy B. look a bit like Trent Reznor here?

Anybody like this song?
If you will, so will I

It's from the NPG Album Exodus. It was released around 1994 (I believe)

I think it's Sonny T on lead vocals


And yeah, great song!

Forgot to say that when they played Get Wild on British TV live Prince was totally covered in a red heard scarf & also gloves , hat & everything else ..... u couldnt see him atall & he would not speak at the time as it was around the "slave" period wink

ahh, yes, thats a period in Princey's career I try to avoid, but I do
kinda like this song. I don't have Exodus, but Count the Days and Get Wild are
good songs too, so maybe it's worth hunting down? smile
If you will, so will I

I think at the time, he was trying to release Exodus independent of Warners. His argument was that if he wasn't singing lead vocals and wasn't appearing as 'Prince' then why should Warners have a right to the music as part of 'Prince's' contract with them. Warners argument was that they had rights to Prince's music under any pseudonym.

I love the Exodus album, although the over-long segue sketches get in the way after a few listens. But some great humour in there, Prince and his band having fun and being very tongue-in-cheek.

I reminisce over that unforgettable, great, amazing, daring period and the incredible music of that time and the fantastic tour plus aftershows...great memories, great music, tight NPG, Prince in a F... You mode....great days.

Get hold of Exodus as soon as possible... lol

Great song. Love to sing along to this. Totally caught me off guard when I flipped channels and saw the video on BET long time ago. Very cool funk.
