PrintableI was just listening to this song today and also thought the rap was tastefully done. It wasn't embarrassing and was actually complimentary to the song. The organ or accordian competing with the rap makes it sound almost like a Polka or Mexican style song at that point and it is wonderful!
And the song in general is pure genius. From the background harmonies, to the percussion, to the general arrangement of the song. Let me reiterate - the background vocals are FANTASTIC. | |

I suppose live 4 love can be seen as a spiritual song  ...its just prince telling people to live for love, "without love you dont live"...and also talking about flying aeroplanes and shooting people and stuff 
it also has some great guitar solos  | |

I love it when Prince channels that soulful, earthy, scatty vibe. This song belongs in the same atmosphere as Strange Relationship-live version, When the Lights Go Down and Somebodys Somebody. Brilliant Steve Wonder influences! | |

Tame said: "Willing and Able" is one of my favorite Prince songs...Even though, we get around to lists of 50 songs...It didn't show up.
I included it in my top 50. I figured it was the most under rated song on my list. | |

When THe Lights Go Down always reminds me of Sylvester's 'Cool of The Evening.' I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |

While this may be one of Tony M's most tolerable raps, it is still garbage. Totally ruins a good song. | |
