Open Book appreciation

Why do you think Prince never released this single.

I really think it would have been a hit. He never even gave it to another artist.

It's interesting, because the song doesn't really fit onto any album post Purple Rain. I'm not even sure of the year it was composed... maybe '86 I'm guessing.

Any thoughts or info on this song?
The public is squeezin' you kiddo. You'd better kick ass on your next album or else!

I agree...This is one of my favorite Prince songs, as well as, "Spirit."

Open Book is from 1990 given to Jevetta Steele.

But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

But it didnt appear on her album till the '93 re-release.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

I meant Prince's is from 1990. But you're right it's on her 1993 album.
