When Doves Cry. It's mainstream. Most everybody I know, whether they love or hate Prince, have an appreciation for that particular song.


that is the song that immediately popped up in my head.

"It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night" even though it is a shared effort. Everything's just there and the whole thing with the melodic and rhythmic motives is just utterly out of this world. It's like Rio, but it's you know... a detuned Oberheim somewhere at Uptown.

I'm on drugs at the moment, by the way.

Another song to add that reflects Prince's genius???


'7'.

Can't forget this one. Most people who listen to this for the first time 'feel it'.

I always try to exhibit the style of Prince music that the new person is usually accustomed to...this makes them more receptive and more likely to appreciate him.

O.K, one more I'd add:

'Soft and Wet'.

But I also agree with orgimnd that it depends on the person’s particular taste of music, and the person you're trying to relate Prince's music to.

But usually, songs like ‘Soft and Wet’ could get anybody moving! smile

i would say 'Kiss'...it has a little of everything in it--the famous drum machine wizardry, rhythm guitar, his sweet falsetto, and prince's witty lyrics 'act your age momma, nacho chew size and maybe we can do the twirl'
--who can sing about chewing nachos without sounding goofy but prince?



I do hope you're joking! Chew a Nacho! That's good!


Yes, i was kidding--'not your shoe size...' but i like the nacho version better.

I would have to say "Fasination" from "The Truth". I don't know, he has so many terrific songs it's really hard to choose.

I overlooked the mistake twice. I know how you feel though, I don't like people to mispell my name either:)
