Who Wrote: "Gigolo's Get Lonely Too?" I'm not sure who wrote this song, I always wondered if it was Prince.
Nevertheless, it is a great song, so this is just an appreciation for an oldie but great!  "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

The writing credits are from Louie and Les Pierce. Is that the song you're thinking of? (It's one of many the guy has that sound like Prince.) | |

No, I am talking about "The Time's" song.
I love "Sittin' in the lap of Luxury," by Louie Louie though. I also love his versing of Prince's song, "Get Blue." "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

It's well known that Prince wrote this song after a long conversation with Wishuhvn...From the outside looking in, it seems like a great life but in fact contrary to rumor, I get lonely too  | |

The Time rule of thumb:
Funky = Prince Ballad = Prince Rocky = Someone else in the band (see "Blondie" or "Skillet") |

Very Cool. It's one of those songs that the R&B stations still play here and there, but I haven't heard it in awhile.
I love the song, and I love Morris singing it 2...It's just one of those great songs. The Lonely Gigolo is stereotypical in theory, although this song has got to be the world's best description of that Manly Mood. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

I particularly like these two lines.....there's more meaning in
these two lines than the whole song put together...think about it. "Just once I wanna make love without takin' off my clothes Just once I wanna make love with somebody who knows" | |

It was originally intended for his "1999" album but Prince decided to give it to the Time and replaced it with "International Lover" on the "1999" album. .

That's interesting, I didn't know that it was an option for that spot on the album.

Now I don't agree with the way Bart got screamed on...But I have a feeling that was more about his reputation for being a asshole troll more than anything else... | |

Wow I didn't know that! I think 1999 would have been even better with "Gigolos" on it. I never really cared for "International Lover."
