i've been in love with the fretless bass played on this Prince outtake.... did he do it? and if not who played it?

it's not an outtake. it was released on the album new power soul in 1998. i think it was rhonda smith that played the bass , if i'm not mistaken .

Yes, and she is Funky!

Great and sweet song, the only gem in 'Newpower Soul'.

I love 'wasted kisses' too.

Me too, very indicative of that era, but 'The One' is a more traditional Prince ballad from early '90s' style (brings me back to 'Insatiable').
