Are you referring to "The Ball", "Shake!" or "Peach"? It's not clear from your thread title.

I'm sorry about that; I'm refering to The Ball.

Great jam! But a hit? Much too loose and not straightforward enough. Not much of a melody either. But great, I love it too!

I really don't think it's hit material. It's interesting but, also, a bit bland and quirky, imo. Of course you do know that "Eye No" is a rewrite of The Ball with new lyrics, right?

The Ball is funky. But a hit, it definitely wouldn't have worked. I'm actually glad he reworked it for the Lovesexy album, because it's off the chain.

No problem... even the segue between Eye No and Alphabet Street on LoveSexy is the one that was originally between The Ball and Joy In Repetition (and would later appear between We Can Funk and Joy... on Graffiti Bridge).

That's what I was about to say. It's "Eye No."

"The Ball" is the peak of Prince's creativity in my opinion, it has the most surreal, yet funky, epic, mix and texture of sounds... like a slow motion dream. Those rolling glass bottle type percussion touches do me crazy good.

backwards guitar...

the funky wah on the beat...

that slowed down bandleader voice in a swirl of reverb...

the din of that crowd...

THE BALL

Its abosolutely amazing 2 me. I get SUPER hyped everytime i hear it. I blast it in my car and sing it as loud as I can sometimes when I'm driving late at night back to my campus. Makes me feel like I'm giving this awesome live performance or something whenever I sing along with him in the song. The song is so...is soooo...so jamable, ya'll!!! razz.

It is a quirky little jam, but would have not done well on radio ....the average listener cannot get into it...gotta be a Prince-fiend like the rest of us...
