LET'S WORK

My theory is that this was written for The Time. Can't you hear Morris singing:

If I could get u in the raw
I'd make u climb the walls

Nothing can stop us now
I'm gonna show u how


Yes? No? Has this been solved before and I'm Jennie-Come-Lately?

Hmmm, possible, but I've never heard of that before, I can see where you're coming from.

It was original recorded as 'Let's Rock' after Prince saw kids doing a dance of the same name, and wanted to release it as a single immediately, but WB wasn't so hot for that and by the time he could release it the moment was kind of over so he re-'worked' it (he, he!) as the released version.

Icould hear the Time doing this but have never heard of it being intended for them. I love this song!:





Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for.

Doesn't it sound a little like "The Walk"?

Morris did play on the extended version. He plays drums on part 2.

Love it my all time fav 12" remix by Prince....with the exception of "she's always in my hair". Plus I lost my virginity to this song...
eye will ALWAYS think of prince like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. eye mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that prince wasn't of this earth, eye would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. prince

One of my favorite Prince songs ever and in my top 3 of favorite 12 inch songs. I love it from start to finish. nod
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

I can see how it could have been intended for the Time. perhaps another gem that Prince decided to keep for himself.
To Sir, with Love
