This has to be one the best songs that P has written for a female to sing. I played this song about 8 times on Saturday and could not get enough of it. I then started thinking..."some girl group needs to re-do this OR someone like Mariah or Leona Lewis should redo this for a soundtrack or b-side".

What do u guys think?

This is one of my fav songs from the 1-800...new funk album!
2gether with Hollywood and Lovesign this was the song I played most.

Would be nice 2 see it covered by a new artist.

It's very slick and commercial. Like a lot of tracks for the protege acts, if only they'd been given some promotion, any promotion!

I know. It's very sad.

I do remember hearing this song being used during a Miss USA pagent (or something like that). It was around the 94 or 95.

I haven't heard this song...and I'm sure it is wonderful...What is the song about? Is it happy or sad?

It was the number one song daily for 2 weeks on a radio show here in N.Z. back in '94 - pity it was never released as a proper single, it could've been huge.

Loved the whole unreleased M.C. Flash album, too, when I finally heard it years later...

It's a pretty sad song...and it's pretty much about what the title would suggest, a woman getting ditched on her wedding day.

Absolutely awesome song imo, easily the best one off of 1-800-New Funk.

I haven't heard it

i love this track. for some weird reason i've always thought it
might be a reworked idea of something he wrote for martika.

but it's probably from later since it's got that arabian sitar
vibe on it kinda like 7 and however much u want.

I've always loved this song. Great vocals, great organ solo from Mr Hayes

Thank u for responding because based on the title, I didn't know if someone was left at the altar, or if it was a song about a spiritual offering...I hope to hear the song one day.

i was lucky 2 have seen the video 4 it at least once. margie cox aka tamara and the seen is a great vocalist.

If you don't have this collection....you need to get it now.


Lovesign and Standing At The Altar are must-haves for any Prince fan.

The video was good (for Prince's standards in the mid-90s). I remember seeing it on HQ before the videos were taken down. Margie is a great vocalist.
