"Delirious" is a song from Prince's 1982 album, 1999. It was the album's third single, and Prince's second top-10 hit, reaching #8 in the U.S. during the fall of 1983. The success of the single was boosted by the runaway success of the previous single, "Little Red Corvette", and also due to the fact that DJs often played the first three album tracks in sequence, which just happened to be the order of the singles released from the album."

The video could have been better

I'm more impressed with the fact that he could convince his buddies Ted and Bob to go along with this scheme.

Ty exactly the part I was referring to

I just updated the subject...and gave you credit for Delirious.

MoneyMade said:

Yeah we read and you changed your wording(a few times since) so really no need to get all huffy about your mistake take it as is and be happy.

never said that may want to reedit that

Does Alphabet St Count?

skywalker said:

Omg little red corvette how could i forget!! ..what about rasberry beret?

L0tusFl0w3r said:

I don't think he sings low in that

ElCapitan said:

That is true but somehow for some reason, I KNEW what this cat meant by his initial thread. So because of that, I felt lead to try to clarify perhaps what he was trying to project. And the reason I believed I knew what he was trying to say was because the overall effect of the way When Doves Cry sounded as a whole, to me, when it first got airplay,...was totally different from anything P had done before. Sure, he even sung in his lower natural register on parts of International Lover from the 1999 album. Released as a single or not, I think that the dude who did this thread was basically trying to get across that the sound of P's voice was more prominent and stood out more in the stark sound of When Doves Cry therfore it, combined with the different sounding basic track of the song, that P's vocals did "sound" different on this than his previous singles i.e. 1999, Little Red Corvette, Delirious. As I stated in my initial post, when I first heard the song on the radio before a single was ever released for purchase, I could still tell it was Prince. But even to me, as hardcore of a fan as I was back then, and me knowing how P started singing more in his natural voice as oppossed to his falsetto on many tracks on the 1999 album, I STILL thought that P's voice sounded "different" on When Doves Cry. Especially on the verses of the song. He sounded more mature, more experienced and he had more "depth" in the tone of his voice than before. At least THAT'S how it sounded to me. So that's what I felt the person who did this thread was trying to get across.

"Kiss," is kind of in between I think. Not as deep as "When Doves Cry," or as high as "I wanna be your lover."

What about "Let's go crazy?"

skywalker said:

Listen to the "style of vocalism".....and pay close attention.


Sing the first verse "Dig if you will the picture"

Does Little Red Corvette sound even remotely close to this register? 1999? Alphabet st? NO

He is singing DEEP BARITONE BASS.
He is Not talking....
He is not in tenor


I re-worded the subject and some of you still refuse to get it...
BARITONE....not talking.....BARITONE.....not tenor.

skywalker said:

Hell no.

"Having moments" is like being alittle pregnant.

No such thing.
[Edited 9/7/09 6:59am]

He wasn't singing in his falsetto on "Let's Go Crazy" and it was a huge commercial success. Actually, I prefer Prince's falsetto and my favorite years are when he sang in nothing but his falsetto. When you heard that falsetto, you immediately knew it was Prince.

vainandy said:

"When you heard that falsetto, you immediately knew it was Prince."


-Amen

MoneyMade said:

Correct me if I am wrong. Your claims seems to be this:

Prince sang in a deep baritone voice for most of the duration of "When Doves Cry". This is his first commercially successful song in which he did so.

If this is what you are saying, you are absolutely right.

I previously thought that you meant he had never sang in a low baritone on any of his hit songs.

MoneyMade said:

Well actually MM, P wasn't singing in baritone. He's singing in what I stated earlier, in alto. But I tried my best to clarify what I thought u were saying all along.

skywalker said:

ALTO ya'll, ALTO...Damn, NOT baritone and shit!

blackguitaristz said:

We'd make a hell of a band...Blackquitarstz would be saying MM
Alto..and I'd be going for the Baritone..while others would be hitting the Falsetto! HAHAAAAA

CHEERS...IT'S ALL FONKY

skywalker said:

Thanks,,,When we all look back in the Prince History book
When Doves Cry...will still go down as one his most masterful pieces ever.

Still rocks U every time it comes on the radio.

I remember like it was yesterday. The first time I heard "When Doves Cry" I was 16

and had just finished taking my final exam. As I left the building I heard the

song coming from a schoolmates car. I remember thinking woah, that's the new

Prince song! I was blown away! Everything he did back then was a left turn. He

never repeated himself. He challenged his listeners. That's what made me a

lifetime supporter of Prince music. Well I just felt like sharing that moment. I

also wanted to say that I also immediately knew that it was Prince. No one else

was capable of creating that kind of music that I was aware of. Summer had

arrived.

Little Red Corvette - which is sung in Prince's natural register - was his first Top 10 hit. It topped at #6 on the pop chart. It was also the first time one of his songs did better on the pop chart than on the black chart. Source: Per Nilsen.
