A shame,isn't it? I remember hearing this song for the first time and I just KNEW that it would be the second single.It had "hit" written all over it! Instead,it became the B-side to "U Got The Look". | |

 was chalk full of hits. But when you release the rap/hip-hop flavored Sexy MF and My Name is Prince as the first two singles, you are dooming the project from the start. "7" still went on to be a big hit , but you can only imagine what would have been if they lead off with this as the first single.Right... leading off with those 'limited appeal' singles did quite a bit of promotional damage that 7 could not fix. It's rather like how releasing IIWYG from Sign O' The Times stalled the success of that album. Even though Prince went on to have other hits from SOTT, sales didn't really recover and it never again gained much ground on the album charts. | |

Prince seems to be in the habit lately of releasing "warm up" singles (seems he's done it again this December). But he's at the point in his career that he needs to start with the hottest & the best, or he might not get a second chance.
Musicology came close, at least it's fun, fast, consice. But much as I don't want more ballads from him, Call My Name was the best single on the record, and maybe it should have come first. And Cinnamon Girl wasn't going to be played anywhere, but ICP&C might have been played on R&B radio. Check this song out at:
