I am always shocked at how Apollonia ends up being spelled!

I like this song. Makes me remember a great era in my life and in music in general.
The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018. (www.amazon.com/gp/product/1538114623/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) or www.facebook.com/groups/1...104195943/

Full version. Good quality. I never heard this jam before.

I have every Prince release, including all 12"/extended, and even 45s. I got The Time. I got Sheila E. I got Jill Jones. I got Mavis. I got more. I skipped Appolonia 6. Nice jam.

The Linn, the synths, the guitar... ahhhh... Minneapolis in full effect.


I have the vinyl, but I only though Sex shooter and "A Million Miles" were the good songs, this song is a lost MPLS sound jam!

Maybe hell put it on Itunes soon...

.....this is the Prince i love.....loved and always will love....The best Prince is dated from this era.....when i'm listening 3121/Musicology/PE .....i have the feeling that these albums are made by a stranger!

I never heard this song before and I love it. This song is just great fun right here! I gotta say, I miss that Jamie Starr production. sad


Jamie Starr is more hard-edged R&B funk with Morris playing the drums as certain points.

This is Revolution/Pop stuff..

It could've easily had been Sheila and W & L singing this...

Good point. Thanks for the clarification. biggrin The whole mid-80's period is my favorite where Prince is concerned and song is more reason why I love that era so much.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

I'm guessing this is the version with Appolonia singing right..
NOT Prince????
I've had this song for a long time. Its a great HOT song..
But I'd love to hear HIM sing it..
I'd like to hear him sing ALOT of songs that he has written
for others.. I have a crappy version of him singing
"Manic Monday".....

Her voice is horrible in this song. She kinda fucks up the song with her non vocal abilities. Is it me or does Prince always gets girls that can't sing.
Vanity, Apples, Ingrid, and Mayte. I guess he picks girls on their looks.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

Blue Limousine sounds to me like Sheila E's Toy Box.[/quote]

I totally agree with you, this was my first thought when I heard it. I don't like this song lol it is just my opinion. Appolonia was a very sexy woman and performer but PLEASE she is not a good singer

Correction: The song would be so much nicer if it was sung by someone else than her

It was. Brenda (the blonde girl) sang it. She had the best voice out of the 3 imo.

Ahh, I didn't think it was Appollonia singing. I really like the song though, growing on me a lot, maybe because it sounds like the SOS Band and I really like them, er no because the SOS Band sounds like Blue Limousine.... I mean! confused

Those who see a relationship between this song and Toy Box leave me more than perplex...

It may be possible that he plans to release all of his back catalog EDITED OUT... Lawd... Next : Darling Nikki ! Nikki started to... chime ? rhyme ? decline ?

I'm looking at "Apollonia Part 2" on YouTube... Who shot that ? It's so silly and yet great... The trio in camisoles dancing on a giant barcode...

Doesn't "The Belle Of St. Mark" sound more like Santa ?

There's a little keyboard part in the middle of this song that reminds me of the very end of a Motels song, either Only the Lonely or Suddenly Last Summer.
