A Case of U - appreciation thread

I just wanted to say i really love this track off the One Nite Alone piano album.
Kind of in the same vein as Goodbye and Reflection.
A brilliant little song buried on an obscure album - just goes to show how good he is.
I'd love to hear it live. Has he ever played it?
Does anyone know?
I'm testing postive 4 the funk

He also played it on most shows of the ONA tour. The kind of laid-back funky part that is faded out on the record features solos by Prince and Renato live.

You Do know it's a Joni Mitchell song... right?

Nonetheless... yes, It is a beautiful song....

He played it at the ONA show in NYC Electric.... not on the keys and it was just as cool... shoot, he could play it on a tin can and it would still be cool.... I would love to hear the '83 First Ave version....

Jeez, no, I didn't know that. But that's cool. I love Joni and I think most of the covers Prince does are pretty special. Some people hate Betcha By Golly Wow and La La La (means I love U) but I think they really showcase his amazing voice, which you tend to forget since he's such a good songwriter too.

Sooo Beautiful and Heartfelt....So Romantic. I LOVE Prince's Rendition from ONA. I am left Breathless just thinking of it. It makes you Glow.
