Almost wrecked my car. This morning I heard "The Word" on a local gospel radio show!! It reminded me of two things 1. Just how great that song is and 2. That it is a bona fide gospel song!!

Pretty awesome if ya ask me.

Peace

That's awesome right there! I might have done the same thing if I was in your position but thank goodness you didn't wreck your car . Goes to show you that Prince can do it all musically.

I did too during a "hip-hop & gospel mix" I couldnt believe that Prince was being played on Sunday morning, that would be the last thing I would expect to hear.

That's great. I like that song very much.

Great to hear!! It is a fantastic song with a fantastic message!

I was just listening to this song and thinking that five months later 3121 is still a good album to me. It's a shame that some of the songs didn't get more airplay. Guess it just goes to show you how jacked up radio is these days. I only hear songs on the less mainstream Urban AC stations.

lol. 22 years later Purple Rain is still a good album etc etc...

I've never heard Prince on the radio. Well, only on LAREDO's OLD SCHOOL.
They often play I Wanna B Ur Lover and KISS.

I hear it every time someone calls me. It's my ringtone. I've been guilty of asking people who are sitting right in front of me to call me up so I can hear it.

that's awesome!!!!

It's my favorite song on the CD.

THIS SONG HAS JUST TOTALLY GROWN ON ME TO THE POINT I FORGET ITS ABOUT JEHOVAH WITNESSES, ITS JUST SO FUNNNKKKYYYYY!!!!!

Technically it's vague enough to include all denominations of Christianity, not just JWs. Of since Prince is a JW, that's where it was coming from. I think he toned it down so all Christians could enjoy it.

And all non Christians too. I am a commited anti religionist

They are playing it with some regularity (I've at least heard it twice) on Belgian Radio (Radio 1 nontheless). New Prince gets lots of play here in recent years.
