If I had a Harem

Nice little bluesy, jazzy, funky concert song.

"If I had a harem like all the papers say".....
"Why'd I waste my kisses on you baby?" R.I.P. Prince You've finally found your way back home. Well Done.

It's a gem -- it has a balance that I wish Prince would achieve more consistently.

I love this song! I just made a thread about this song a couple weeks ago. I like the live version better too.

Does anyone know if the song is actually titled "Blues In C" or "If I Had A Harem"?
