Somebody's Somebody Appreciation Thread

Somebody's Somebody off of the Emancipation album I feel is one of his
most soulful works. How many would agree? Listening to it again literally gave
me chills!

I like this song its kinda sexy, kinda fun. I like the last part when he says "I'll be keeping in hot 4 U Baby" and the rainthunder in the background.

Ma...I use to bump this and the video was tight. I remember before the album came out he was excited about this sog "tell me that;s not a hit." I was surprised it did't catch on....Thank goodness for VH-1 at the time.

I think it's the only good song on Emancipation that I can enjoy. There's some other songs on that album I can stand, but I don't really like.

great song. one of the best on Emancipation and one of his best over-looked slow jams.

I have The Holy river single - it has 3 versions of it, I was just curious if that was one I haven't heard. I'll have to look when I get home. it might be on my Revelations 2.1 cd if it's not on the single. lurking

That's a great song. One of the best on Emancipation, no doubt.
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

As I can remember the video to this song was also very good. If I am
not mistaken he directed the video as well...which makes it that more amazing!

There has been a debate about that a year or so back....I have a video that says directed by Paul Hunter and someone else here says the credits so Prince as the directer (They posted the image)....who knows....
