The credits list Prince as co-writing Love Bizarre but not for the other songs... But did he write the whole album? Any thoughts?

He wrote everything except for 'Merci For The Speed Of....'

Ah thanks... What about on the "Sheila E" (self-titled) album?

The credits on that LP are correct.

Prince is writer of only:

One Day (IGMYM)
Koo Koo
Pride & The Passion
Boys Club
Love On A Blue Train

Cool! Thanks.

I never got the "Sheila E" album.

I was so in2 "The Glamourous Life" and "Romance 1600", that I thought it would be a letdown.

As I remember, Prince didn't play anything on that album... may have written, but didn't play.

TRUE?

FALSE?

Worth it?

Not?

I don't know whether or not Prince played anything on it - somebody else will have to answer that for you, but yes , it's definitely worth getting a copy. To me, it was a less pop-orientated, more mature album than the other two, it had more of a latin feel to it.

Of those three it's my favourite and to me it's the most complete, insofar as all the songs compliment eachother - the other two by comparison are just collections of (albeit very good) pop songs.

Anyway, it's definitely worth getting.

Wow.

I was only judging it by the "made 4 BET" lead single... which had all of sounds that were so prominent during that time... kinda like a Karyn White treatment of a Prince-penned tune.

Now that I hear "more of a latin feel 2 it"... I gotta get it.

Thanks.

I don't have a copy now. But I really liked the album a lot. My favorite tracks were "Pride and the Passion" (really funky) "Faded Photographs" (great rock tune with brilliant guitar by levi) "Wednesday Like a River" and "Soul Salsa" (instrumental latin funk jam)

I don't know about Prince playing on it... but he wrote a bunch of the music, so I'd be surprised if he wasn't playing on it.
