when i heard Prince join Stevie on stage, I was surprised that he broke into a rhythm thang on guitar instead of busting out a lead line (he did the same when he joined James and MJ onstage).
it gave weight to the theory that Prince is a better rhythm guitarist than he is on lead...though, if he has the time to plan a solo, whether on cd or for performance, he turns it out; i guess i'm referring to spontaneity here ... his first reaction was rhythm guitar on stage with stevie [Edited 1/15/08 10:39am] [Edited 1/15/08 10:41am] | |

when u hear stevie say prince pop it, i was wondering what the video would b like with possibly prince being in it ..but alas he's not
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

This song reminds me of Black Man in it's structure.
It starts out great and doesn't really go anywhere, but it's a solid groove. Prince's playing is good enough, I just would have liked to hear a little more than just some chords, which basically any guitar player could have played. Seems like a missed opportunity to do something special. My Legacy

This is a great song. Prince and Stevie both so accomplished; just the thought makes me smile (I bet the recording session was beyond fun). Prince's piece on this tune is small, but funky.
The lyrics are worthy of two smiles. | |
