Yes, several nice lines in this song and the video is beautiful.

I was thinking about this line over the weekend:

Your body was designed 2 respond 2 mine

And I concluded that it is an accurate statement in the context of lovers.

Very romantic stuff.

So just finished watching the music video to (the greatest romance) Ive always loved this song.


It's rubbish. A "will this do" attempt at copying his success with TMBGITW. Just one of many rubbish tracks on Rave.

weak song. plastic, soulless production and dull, uninteresting melody. Terrible choice for 1st single from Rave.


I agree.

It were this type of songs that made me sorta 'stop' being a Prince fan in the second half of the nineties: plastic, generic R&B crap without character or excitement. Songs like Big white mansion, Somebody Somebody, Incense and Candles, Mr. Goodnight, Chocolate Box and Hey Valentina are so far away from what i look for in music.

Yes, it's a very beautifully strong declaration of the two becoming ONE.(in every aspect)

I think that's where it ended. Everything after Rave was an improvment on the previous few years.

Greatest Romance was just a bit dull.


I don't know why Clive Davis picked this dull song to be the first single from Rave shrug


Look who you're talking about. He was the one behind the Queen of Dull. lol


A better choice would have been "So Far,So Pleased" or "Baby Knows".


Those were decent but "Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic" was the jam. Actually the hottest thing from that mostly bland album.
