When /Where ?

My favorite song on Graffiti Bridge is without a doubt "The Question Of U" It's so spooky and kind of bluesy. Very slow burning and passionate! It also has one of his all time best electric guitar solos ever recorded. I love that evil howling wind sound effect at the beginning and the end of the track, the hand claps, the harpsichord/classical sound is impressive too. It sounds like he really took his time with that track and it shows. "The Question of U" is one of the best Prince songs from any era of his long career.
Other songs I love off of Grafiti Bridge are Joy In Repetition. It's so dreary and bohemian sounding with Prince's miserable sounding voice and that jungle poetic groove. Tick Tick Bang the beat sounds kind of like Queens' We Will Rock You. We Can Funk with that Egyptian sound in the beginning, And Can't Stop This Feelin' I Got sounds alot like Kenny Loggins' song Footloose. Oh yeah, I almost forgot Thieves in The Temple!!!
Also, whatever happened to T.C. Ellis, Ingrid Chavez, and Robin Power? I guess their musical careers never quite took off huh? All of Prince's protege's that he's taken under his wing over the years have never really taken flight have they? Vanity, Apollonia, Jill Jones, Carmen Electra. Steppa Ranks Scrap D. Tony Mosely and the 3 mentioned above. Just an observation I've noticed.

There is a love CD from several years ago that also has him playing "Just My Imagination" (which is unbelievable). I don't know where you can find it now. Anyway, it's amazing and there is a background singer that keeps singing "still WILL stand all time". He keeps trying to hint to her that she's singing it wrong, but she doesn't get the hint and finally he says "who's the fool singing WILL it's WOULD!...time would stand still..yes it would". I hit the floor when I first heard it and it's been a favorite ever since"

A bit off topic, but have to say that although I like this album, I think it would have been great with just the Prince stuff. Not too mad on the stuff that the others sing, although I do like Release It. My favourite Prince song on it might be Joy in Repitition

Its always Joy in repetition, since thats one of my favorite songs period

"Currently", It's between Joy In Repetition and The Question Of U. Those are my favorites on the album anyway though.

Question of U and Joy in Repetition

He can perform that for me anytime he wants to.....as long as it's in that oufit he wore in the movie when he performed it!

I'll just say, "Elephants and Flowers" for today.

Still Would Stand All Time. Although I've been listening to Can't Stop This Feeling I Got repeatedly lately. Round & Round by other artist.

Like a lot of ppl i'm gonna say The Question of U and Joy in Repetition. I would add We Can Funk, but the 86 unreleased version isn't found on GB
