That's right, this is a post about Prince's music!!!

Obviously, from listening to Prince for a long time people know that he loves the female voice.

What's your favorite use of a female voice in a Prince song?

I think 1999 and Christopher's Tracy's Parade are great examples.

I don't think that many artists, especially male artists use the female voice as well as Prince did and still does in his music.

Fine, maybe I'll just post another "Prince is so fine, let's post 20 year old photos" thread. Or I could post another "Jehovah's Witnesses have ruined Prince, I hate Larry Graham" thread.

God Forbid I actually post something about the man's music and recording techniques!!!

Paris9748430 said:

20 year old pic-maybe it'll pick up ur thread

You're just being a big Meanie!!!

Paris9748430 said:

Agreed.

You're right... & for me "Teacher, teacher" is another one good example...

Anotherloverholenyohead, 2nd verse.

That's a great example.

LOVE IT.

Heard him say in an interview that he preferred women's voices to men's, and that is the reason he prefers to sing falsetto...but I think in didn't really work in a couple of songs off Lotusflower, where his voice was "sweetened" so much that I had a sugar attack!

Are you referring to his "falsetto" style?

PATSHEART said:

No, I mean him using women's voices in his songs like Wendy & Lisa, Jill, Sheila, etc.

Yes that was the latest Tavis interview. Actually I think he said all he preferred listening to was female vocalists...phew and I thought I was the only 1

I don't like you no more!!! You're not my fwend!!!

I don't get a female voice out of Prince...

Prince's voice is Unique to his own person.

Prince is a man that has a higher range than Larry Graham or Lou Rawls.

I think that would go to the duet part and voice of Rosie, (I think) in Diamonds and Pearls.

Orgasm!

Come!


"Aww, baby U're so good!"

Great example Without Rosie it wouldn't be as awesome song as it is.

you're retarded

Finally a decent thread on a subject that hasn't been brought up (for a while at least) and isn't about Prince's eye colour or favourite brand of hand cream.

I agree with the OP, it's one of the great individual things you can pick out that makes his stuff individual and special.

And it's not always about having a belter like Rosie Gaines, compare the two versions of In A Large Room... I like the 2009 version, but those la la la's etc on the original just make it. They give it that individual spark.

Jill, Lisa, the Melvoins, Sheila, Rosie, Bonnie, Millenia, heck even Mayte and the Twinz - they all added something.
