Prince's best soul-vocal-performance? 07. Avalanche from the one nite alone piano cd.
Could this track be among princes best vocal perfomances - listened to this in the car just the other day with my three children - quite loudly - and during the song they are very quiet, until my 8-year old daughter says, "wauw, dad, Prince really can sing with many different voices..." amazing track. | |

Perfect Beautiful Song!
The vocal and piano arrangements are brilliant. This is my favorite P political song. The themes of ignorance and avoidance are perfectly illustrated by the avalanche - lyrically and musically. The attention-grabbing shock of "Lincoln was a racist" force you think about the introspective lyrics (history will repeat unless you strive to understand cause/effect of it's lessons.) | |

I remember hearing it one time, and thinking it was beautiful...I guess they must've had it in the club on npgmusicclub. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

I agree with your choice but 2 other great soul-vocal performance IMO are Soul Sanctuary and She Loves me 4 Me.
Oh.....and Man o War No child is bad from the beginning. They only imitate their atmosphere. | |

Way to many great vocal performances to narrow it down
However I would add that a great vocalist has great emotion in their voice and that is P time and time again The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.
Remember there is only one destination and that place is U All of it. Everything. Is U. | |

For me it is; Forever in My Life, the live Sign of the Times video/concert performance. That was sweet. “When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a Communist.” Brazilian bishop Dom Hélder Câmara |

I think I would have to go with "Call My Name" if we're talking a about soul-vocal performance.
... and also Money Don't Matter 2nite. The public is squeezin' you kiddo. You'd better kick ass on your next album or else! |

it's been said by critics that Do Me Baby is it. i can see why, but the verdict is still out for me. I have to hear Avalanche now. but off the top of my head i'd nominate
The Beautiful Ones, Somewhere Here On Earth and Adore | |
